Back in the 1950s, anthropologist Edward Hall described how the sicial rules of time are like a ‘silent language’ for a given culture. He described how variations in the perception of time can lead to misunderstandings between people from separate countries. “An ambassador who has been kept waiting by foreign visitors need to understand that if his visitor just mutters an apology, this is not necessarily an insult,” Hall wrote. Social psychologist Robert Levine has conducted so-called pace-of-life studies in 31 countries. He ranked the countries by measuring three things : Walking speed on urban sidewalks, how quickly postal clerks could fulfil a request for a common stamp and the accuracy of public clocks. Kevin Birth, an anthropologist, has examined time perception in Trinidad. There, if someone is meeting friends at 6.00 p.m., people show up at 6.45 or 7.00 and say ‘any time is Trinidad time’. “You can’t simply go into a society and ask someone. ‘Tell me about your conception of time’, Bith says. “You have to come up with other ways to find out”. 61.

If you want to go to a university, you usually apply during your last year at school, when you are 17-18. You can apply to study at any university in Britain and most people choose a university that is not in their own town. So, university students usually live away from home. Students get a grant from the government to study. At the beginning of your last year at school, you receive an application form. On this form you chose up to five universities that you would like to go to. The form is sent to those universities with information from your school about you and your academic record. If the universities are interested in your application, they will ask you to attend an interview. If they are still interested after the interview, they will offer you a place. Any offer, however, is only conditional at this stage. Applications and interviews take place several months before students do thier A-level examinations. These are the exams that you do at the end of your time at school. So, when a university makes an offer, it will tell you the miniumgrades that you will have to get when you do your A-level exams. If you don’t get those grades, then , you will not be able to accept the
26. place. It will be offered to someone else and you must apply again to another university. You don’t have to accept your place immediately.

According to a survey conducted in the US, 22% of people would muc hprefer working from home. Take the example of Scott Miler, a 40-yearold draughtsman who goes to the office every Monday for a meeting and to pick up his week’s work. As long as his productivity is maintained, his boss doesn’t mind where he works and he feels that he can work even better from home. Geogre Mercer, who owns seven cafes within a 7-mile radius of downtown Miami, has based his office in his beachfront home. “With modern telecommunications nowadays, I am always able to contact my managers and order provisions from my suppliers.” However, is working from home as simple as it sounds? Joan McCarthy, a full-time trader on the stock market says she loves the freedom that working from home gives her but she really misses the social interaction. “I don’t have that face-to-face, professional involvement with people any more.” An accountant called Louis Tate thinks that the biggest problem with working from home is distrations which are from the chores you have to do at home like washing and cleaning. Therefore, she has to force herself to view her study as an office, not part of the house. 61. Choose the best title for the passage. A. New Kinds of Job B. Travelling to Work C. Working at Home D.
