The clock struck(敲) eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly at a huge pile（堆） of those trouble things —books.
I was going to have my exam the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. And I could not. The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear! Ten more books to read before I go to bed!” We students are the most wretched ones in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I did learn. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed（祈禱）, “My god, please let me pass the exam tomorrow. I will work hard next time, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the books, I fell asleep.

　　Americans think much about time．From childhood they learn to value(珍視)time．As children they are taught to be on time to go to school, to work and to do everything．When they are having a good time, they said that time goes easily．When a person is dying, 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 become servant of the clock．
