If you were supposed to be at my house at 6: 00 p.m. for dinner, but you came at 8: 00 p.m., we would 【B1】______ think you were quite impolite. However, if you come from Brazil, the idea of being 【B2】______ , or "on time", might mean coming two hours late. In fact, being "early" or "late" depends on your cultural 【B3】______ and no dictionary can give a clear 【B4】______ of"early" or "late" because these ideas reflect "social time" rather than real time.
Even more 【B5】______ is how people from other cultures explain their lateness. American students might say they simply had not cared that they were late. In 【B6】______ , Brazilians would go out of their way to explain their lateness in a number of ways—they were delayed by unforeseen or 【B7】______ problems, for example. Or they might 【B8】______ the reasons of being late to reasons that you might never think of.
Some American students might feel very guilty and blame themselves, but 【B9】______ .
Another surprising difference that researchers discovered was the way cultures view someone who is late. Americans tend to think negatively of people being late. 【B10】______ Or, at least, you will be viewed with some disfavor.
But in Brazil, if you are late for an appointment, the chances are you will be admired. 【B11】______ .
【B6】
