In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone 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 assumes it’s a matter of life and 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. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently; promptness (准时) is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the US no one would think of keeping a business friend waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
"The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. " Here "attached" means______.
选项

解析
本题为测试单词或短语的含义类问题。利用查阅式阅读法,在文章中第一段的第三句中找到了与测试词语相关的信息,根据文章上下文,可以推断出动词attached是“把……给予……,把……归于……”的意思,所以C项为最佳选择。另外,如果考生的词汇量足够大的话,即使不读原文上下文,也应能找出本题的正确答案C“给予,赋予”。
