Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time   28    in many ways.
Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a   29    meaning to the event. It is not a   30    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 something is urgent and   31    immediate attention.
The same meaning is   32    telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think it is a   33    of life or death. The time chosen for the call   34    its importance.
  35   the meanings of time vary in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat time differently. Since time has many different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
During the normal dinner chatter, I noticed that my father was slurring (说话含混) his words. No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.
We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.
Mom phoned me two days later. “The doctor found a brain tumor (肿瘤). It’s too large at this point to operate. Maybe they can do something then, but the odds are long.”
Even with the treatment, my father’s condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal. During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her.
Watching them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though grateful for the times they could share, I couldn’t shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.
On the visit to my parents’ home during what we all know was my father’s last days, I entered the bedroom. He appeared even weaker than the day before. 
“How are you feeling, Dad?” I asked. “Can I do anything for you?”
