A
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you call him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he thinks it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries.

The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings appear between people from cultures that treat time differently. Being on time is highly thought of in American life. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the USA, keeping business companies waiting for an hour is too impolite. A person is expected to say sorry when he is 5 minutes late. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

A lot of people are afraid of spiders — even the small ones. But a big tarantula (狼蛛) is much more terrible for many. Now, scientists in Sri Lanka have discovered a huge species (物种) of tarantula that's about the size of a person’s face.
Although it is very big, is there a real reason to be afraid of one? Maybe. This tarantula has enough poisonous fluid (液体) to kill mice and small birds and snakes — but its bite wouldn’t cause the death of most humans.
Tarantula was first seen in 2009, when a villager in Sri Lanka found the body of a male Tarantula and brought it to a Sri Lanka research organization.
