On Punctuality

A punctual man is in the habit of doing everything at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.

The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. 1. There is a proverb that says, “Time flies never to be recalled.” This is very true. 2. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself, and the unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his own valuable assets as well as others'. The unpunctual man is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or to return calls, or to keep appointments promptly. 3. He knows that he can't get through his immense amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every appointment promptly and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended to.

4._ If a person is invited to a dinner and arrives later than expected, he keeps all the other guests and the host waiting him alone. This is great disrespect.

5. Imagine how it would be if those who are entrusted with important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or his fellow men. And the unpunctual man is a source of annoyance both to others and to himself.

A．Failure to be punctual is a sign of disrespect towards others.

B．A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained.

C．He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both his time and his good name.

D．Unpunctuality is very harmful when it comes to doing one's duty.

E．Of these the former are the majority.

F．But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it.

G．Broadly speaking, humans can be divided into two classes.

Do You Have the Time? In English, this question has two different meanings. The first one is “Do you know what time it is？” While commonly, this is less frequently used than the simpler question with the same meaning “What time is it？” The other is “Do you have the time (e.g.to do this or that)？” This is a very commonly asked question, whether in American, British, or Australian English. I think the response “I don't have the time” is most commonly used year after year. _1.

Think about how often you (and I) have used this as an explanation of why we couldn't do something, take on a new task, help someone, visit someone, etc. Sometimes it's a statement of fact, and sometimes it's just an excuse. 2. However, deep down we each have a pretty clear idea of the difference. In practical terms, the lack of available time seems to be and often is a true reason for why we cannot take something on. 3. “I just don't have the time” is too often an escape. Once we get to a certain age, when we are generally considered to be grown?ups, we are expected to have developed time management skills. In many instances, “I don't have the time” has the same meaning as “I am not willing to make the time”. Sure, we're all busy, but in the end, it's a matter of which is more important.

4. It doesn't grow on trees or fall from the sky like raindrops. You make the time as well as most of the related decisions about what is important. 5. If you don't decide on the use of your time, the decision will be taken away from you. It's really up to us to decide on how to balance and manage time, and that's a challenge.

A．No one gives you the time.

B．After all, it's so convenient as an excuse.

C．The key is what criteria you rely on to make decisions.

D．The distinction here between them is blurry (模糊不清的) and subjective.

E．Be aware it's the world's most common excuse, whether you speak it out or not.

F．But it does mean we need to develop a clear approach to time management.

G．Actually if we try to rearrange our time, or make a sacrifice, we can make it.

It's normal to wake briefly during the night. 1. But if you're waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.

Stay out of your head. The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you're awake, because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake. 2.

3. If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization (想象) or deep breathing, which can be done without even getting out of bed. Remind yourself that although they're not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body.

Do a quiet, non?stimulating activity. If you've been awake for more than 15 minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non?stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it's time to wake up. 4. A light snack might relax you, but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that time of the day.

5. If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper and delay worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve.

A．Make relaxation your goal, not sleep.

B．Put off worries and troubles.

C．Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night.

D．In fact, a good sleeper won't even remember it.

E．Also avoid screens of any kind — computers, TVs, cellphones or iPads.

F．You'll be much more productive and creative after a good night's rest.

G．A good way to stay out of your head is to focus on the feeling of your body.

CANYOUIMAGINEHOWHARDITWOULDBETOREAD?

SENTENCESLIKE?THIS? Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought. Actually, the ancient Greeks wrote this way. The lack of punctuation marks probably didn't bother good readers, though. As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time, sentences switched directions. A sentence read from left to right. The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc. The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: They·put·something·that·can·separate·words·in·a·sentence. The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word puncture, which means a dot.

When the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points. The spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in reading. Then in the 13th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation. He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence. He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause. Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma (逗號)．

Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family. The exclamation mark (感嘆號) comes from the Latin word io. It means “exclamation of joy”. The question mark originally started out as the Latin word questio, meaning question. Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question.

Punctuation even keeps changing nowadays. New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are used in new ways. Take for example the “interrobang”. This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both. For example, “She did what！？” or “How much did you pay for that dress！？” Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet, but its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation.

1.From the first paragraph, we can know that ________.

A．good readers had trouble reading without punctuation marks

B．a(chǎn) sentence always read from left to right in ancient Greece

C．the ancient Greeks switched the direction of punctuation marks

D．the use of punctuation marks can date back to ancient times

2.The passage is developed by ________.

A．time B．space

C．comparison D．importance

3.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A．a(chǎn)ncient Romans didn't use any punctuation marks

B．exclamation and question marks came from Latin

C．spaces and slashes were already used before the 5thcentury

D．Aldus Manutius first started to use commas

4.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

A．The combination of two marks will not work.

B．It takes time for people to accept new punctuation marks.

C．Old punctuation marks need to be standardized.

D．Punctuation marks are still changing today.

Kate Hashimoto was picking up a few groceries at the Upper West Side Food Emporium when she ran into a friend. “Hey Kate, do you like wraps? Here’s a chicken wrap,’’ her pal said. “But be careful, it’s kind of wet.” They weren’t in the food store. They were in front of the store, digging through three overflowing trash bins.

Hashimoto Dumpster-dives(拾荒) for all her food, doesn’t use toilet paper or do laundry, and hasn’t bought makeups in 10 years. She doesn’t have to live this way — she’s an employed CPA(注冊會計師). “I’ve always been money-saving, but it was when I was fired that I became extreme,” Hashimoto explained.“No job is guaranteed, so I live as if I could be fired at any time.”

Manhattan, she said, is a gold mine for dumpster divers.“Consumers in wealthy areas expect their products to be perfect, so upscale stores throw out a lot of items that are still good.“New York can be the most expensive place to live, but it can also be the least expensive if you know how to work the system.”

Hashimoto let the reporter of a newspaper spend a day with her learning how to work the system. She lives in Harlem, where she bought a studio in 2010 and paid it off in nine months, but walks down to the Upper West Side three times a week for good, free food. Her other money-saving methods include using soap to wash herself after using the toilet, taking surveys online to earn gift cards, participating in medical trials, testing products for free samples, cutting her own hair, washing her clothes while she showers, and running to work to avoid using subway. “I was very angry about the latest round of subway fare rises,” she said.

Hashimoto does have her limits. Her furniture is a collection of found free gifts— but she won’t take an old mattress for fear of bedbugs, and sleeps instead on used yoga mats. And she won’t stay in a relationship with a boyfriend for free meals.“I’ve been in a relationship where I stayed because I was getting free gifts, but I got out of it,” she says. “It’s better to be single and dumpster-diving than to be with someone you can’t stand.”

1.The author mentions Kate’s friend at the beginning to ______.

A. show there are too many dumpster divers

B. introduce the topic of the text

C. show they have the same lifestyle

D. show the close relationship between them

2.The underlined word “upscale”(in Para.3) is closest in meaning to_______.

A. large B. high-class C. faraway D. comfortable

3.How does the author develop the fourth paragraph?

A. Offering the sufferings of Kate.

B. Making comparisons.

B. Discussing the high living cost in New York.

D. Providing details of Kate’s daily life.
