【題目】We all have one, don’t we? A friend who's always late. The one who turns up for coffee a full half hour after the appointed time.【1】 The dear pal who sends a message saying "Sorry, bit delayed. ", when they’re already 20 minutes behind schedule. Or just maybe, if you’re really honest, this persistently lardy (拖延的)individual is actually youself.

【2】.

How on earth can people be so inconsiderate?

Recent research suggest that there might be more to this than simple rudeness. Psychologists from Washington University believe people view time differently. 【3】. It even provided them with a clock. Despite this, some people became so absorbed in the activity that they completely forgot to cheek the clock.

【4】. The less punctual among us often share characteristics such as “optimism, low levels of self-control, anxiety.” Why optimism, you ask? Optimists tend to overestimate how much they can achieve and underestimate problems, which means they don’t account for the long traffic jam on the way to meet you for that coffee.

Here's another thought： maybe language is to blame? The English phrase “to be fashionably late” is used to describe the proper time to arrive at an event. If you're too early, you can appear overly eager, but if you’re bit late, you seem cool and sophisticated(老練的）.The problem is, what one person regards as fashionably late, another may view as plain impolite.

【5】.

A. Our personality also plays a role

B. Keep a distance from those full of excuses

C. Next time you have coffee, do try to be on time

D. The one who seems lo be forever “stuck in traffic"

E. Either way, lateness can be extremely annoying to the receiving end

F. Participants were required to set down how long they finished a task

G. Their study gave participants a specific amount of time to complete a task

【題目】閱讀理解
Let's face it. No one drinks diet sodas for the taste. People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn't drink diet sodas. ＂What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more weight they were likely to gain,＂ said Sharon Fowler.
The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.
While the findings are surprising, they also offer some explanations.
Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas, they don't lose weight at all. ＂We weren't seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us,＂ said Rogers.
So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet, but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas, and so over-compensate for the missing calories.
A related study found some sweeteners (甜味劑) raised blood sugar levels in some mice. ＂Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,＂ said Helen P. Hazuda, professor at the University of Texas's school of medicine. ＂They may be free of calories, but not of consequences.＂
（1）People drink diet sodas to ____________.
A.enjoy its taste
B.stay in fashion
C.achieve weight loss
D.gain more energy
（2）The new study suggests that drinking diet sodas ____________.
A.causes people to become heavier
B.helps people to be healthier
C.makes people much thinner
D.offers people more calories
（3）We can learn from the passage that ____________.
A.regular sodas make people lose more weight
B.diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food
C.diet sodas do help reduce calories
D.most blood diseases come from diet sodas
（4）The underlined word ＂They＂ in the last paragraph probably refers to ＂____________＂.
A.sweeteners
B.diet sodas and artificial sweeteners
C.sodas
D.diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers
