Americans think a great deal about time. They constantly refer to time and the value of keeping busy. From childhood, they learn to value time, and[23]their language reflects this preoccupation with it As children, they are taught to be on time for events and to do work on time. They learn that the price of committing a crime is to do time in prison. When they are having a good time, they say that time flies; they say sadly of someone who is dying that he is living on borrowed time. From the time of its beginning, American English has reflected this preoccupation with time. Nowhere can this sense of time be seen more clearly than in the working place. Working Americans are bound to the clock. It is a commonly held belief that one should balance work against a set time, for example an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week. Anything over these time limits is overtime, and the worker should receive more money per hour for work done during overtime. Time during nonworking hours is also considered very precious. Some Americans feel they have a love/hate relationship with time. They love the comforts that progress has brought through work,[25]but they hate the bondage to the clock and the pressures of a time-oriented society. There is little doubt that many Americans feel they have become servants of the clock.
23. What does the speaker say about American English?
24. What will Americans commonly agree on according to the passage?
25. What do Americans dislike about their time-oriented society?

D、The rapid progress.
