A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the correct time and is never late for anything.
An unpunctual man never does what he has to do at the right time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be got back. Time is more useful than material things. In fact, time is life itself. An unpunctual man is always wasting his most important things as well as others'. An unpunctual person is always saying unhappily that he finds no time to answer letters or return calls. But the man who really has much to do is very careful of his time. He knows that he can not finish all his work unless he carefully does every piece of work.
Being unpunctual is the sign of disrespect (不尊重_) towards others. If a person is invited to
dinner and arrives later than the time when he should be there, he keeps all the other guests (客人)
waiting for him. Usually this will be thought as a great disrespect to the host and all the other guests.
Not like a punctual person, an unpunctual one can't do his duty wonderfully, whether it is public or personal. Imagine how it would be if those who should do important tasks failed to be on time. A man who is known to be often unpunctual is never believed by his friends or fellow men.
小題1:The Chinese meaning of the word "punctual" in this passage is probably “      ”.                                                                      
A．聽話的B．守時(shí)的C．守紀(jì)律的D．能干的
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．An unpunctual person often has more time.
B．An unpunctual person has more work to do.
C．A punctual person often has a busy life.
D．A punctual person often does his work wonderfully.
小題3:When you are invited to dinner, you'd better arrive there        .
A．in a hurryB．a(chǎn)fter the host
C．a(chǎn)t the decided timeD．before other guests
小題4:From the passage, we learn that an unpunctual man usually          in the end.
A．saves time for others
B．leaves his family and friends
C．gets his chances and knowledge
D．loses his time and good name

小題1:B
小題2:D
小題3:C
小題4:D

Today I got my dream job in New York! However, it’s far away from my home town and I’ve never visited New York before. Yesterday I took the train here and one of my workmates met me at the railway station. Then he showed me to the company. There they had a welcome party for me. Great!
