Americans think much about time. From childhood(童年) they learn to value(珍視) time. Parents tell children to be on time to go to school, to work and to do everything. When they are having a good time, they say that time goes easily. When a person is dying(死), they say he is living on a borrowed time. 

Time is money. Time is knowledge. Time is everything in America. A working American has to work hard for eight hours a day or forty hours a week. This is the working time. In his free time, he also works hard for more money. Even on Saturday and Sunday he also works hard as usual. In the street you can hardly see a man walking slowly. They walk very fast. In fact , they are running. 

They love time because time can bring them money and lots of things. But sometimes they also hate time, because they feel they have become servants(仆人) of the clock.

A.If someone has time and works hard, he can make a lot of money.

Once upon a time, there were two birds, Anderson and Johnson. They were brothers and lived in a forest. Anderson lived near a cave(洞穴) where some robbers(強盜) lived. Johnson lived near the house of a kind old man.

One day, a hunter(獵人) came to the forest. Unluckily, he lost his way and didn't know where he was. He was very tired, so he sat down under a tree that was near a cave. At that time, he heard someone shouting, “Hurry up! There's someone sitting under the tree. Come and take his money！” The hunter was startled(驚嚇) by the voice. He looked up and saw a big brown bird in the tree. He also saw some people coming out of the cave. He quickly stood up and ran away as fast as he could.

Soon, he came to the place where the kind old man lived. He saw a big tree and sat down to have a rest. However, he heard a friendly voice saying, “Welcome, sir. Please come in and make yourself at home.” The hunter looked up and saw another big brown bird in the tree. He was surprised. “This one looks just like the other bird near the cave，” he said.

“He is my brother, sir，” said the bird. “He made friends with those robbers.” Just then, the old man came out of his house. “Welcome, sir，” he said to the hunter. “Please come in and make yourself at home.” The hunter told the old man about the two birds he met and how different they were.
