Practice Listening: Fill in the Blanks (Type In) ID: #34472 Short Tradition
Instructions
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
The  railroad  was  not  the  first  institution  to  impose    on  society  or  to  draw  attention  to  the  importance  of  precise  timekeeping.  For  as  long  as  merchants  have  set  out  their  wares  at  daybreak  and  communal  festivities  have  been  celebrated,  people  have  been  in    agreement  with  their  neighbours  as  the  time  of  day.  The  value  of  this  tradition  is  today  more    than  ever.  Were  it  not  for  public  acceptance  of  a  single  yardstick  of  time,  social  life  would  be    chaotic:  the  massive  daily  transfers  of  goods,  services,  and  information  would  proceed  in  fits  and  starts;  the  very    of  modern  society  would  begin  to  unravel.
