A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing 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. 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 regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset(財產(chǎn))as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he cannot get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.

Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.

Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in chare of important tasks failed to be at their proper places at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.

1.What does the author think is the main difference between  a punctual person and an unpunctual person?

  A. A punctual person does everything ahead of time while an unpunctual person does everything behind schedule.

  B. A punctual person does everything at the right time while an unpunctual person seldom does anything at the correct time.

  C. A punctual person has a lot of appointments while an unpunctual person has few appointments.

  D. A punctual person has much time to do everything while an unpunctual person has little time to do anything.

2.According to the passage, the main reason that a person is always unpunctual is that____________. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.

  A. he has more work to do than other people

  B. he is always in a hurry when he works

  C. he doesn’t care much about time

  D. he always mismanages and wastes his time

3.According to the third paragraph, when you are invited to dinner, you should arrive there____________. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.

 (10·四川D篇)

Somali pirates(海盜) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly l，200 Miles off the Somali coast，the farthest-off-shore attack to date，an officer said Tuesday.

Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡邏)by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force，said a spokesman．

The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”．

“Once they start attacking that far out，you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,” said an officer，Roger Middleton．“Once you’re that far out，it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia，from Asia to South Africa.”

  "This is the farthest robbing to date．They are now operating near the Maldives and India,” said another officer．

  The three ships--the MV Prantalay 11，12，and l 4—had 77 members on board in total．All of them are Thai, the spokesman said．Before the Sunday robbing，pirates held l l ships and 228 sailors．

Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes。f catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships，the success rate(率)has gone down，though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.

B．in the normal patrol area

C．near the Somali, coast_{w_w*w.k_s*5_u.c_o m}

D．in the south of Africa

54．According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?

A．More goods on board are lost.

B．Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.

C．The number of attacks has stayed the same these years._{w_w*w.k_s*5_u.c_o m}

D．Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.

55．Which is true about the warship patrols according to the text?

_{w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m}

A．The patrols are of little effect.

B．The patrols are more difficult.

C．More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.
