[单项选择]Monochronic time (M-time) and polychronic time (P-time) represent two variant solutions to the use of both time and space as organizing frames for activities. Space is included because the two systems (time and space) are functionally interrelated. M-time emphasizes schedules, segmentation, and promptness. P-time systems are characterized by several things happening at once. They stress involvement of people and completion of transactions rather than adherence to preset schedules. P-time is treated as much less tangible than M-time. P-time is apt to be considered a point rather than a ribbon or a road, and that point is sacred.
Americans overseas are psychologically stressed in many ways when confronted by P-time systems such as those in Latin America and the Middle East.

We can relive events that happened long ago or imagine ourselves in the future. New studies suggest that the two directions of time travel are intimately twisted together in the human brain.
