Section D
Directions:
Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the
statements in the fewest possible words.
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
one
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
for
ever
wasting
and mismanaging his most valuable asset (
璐骇) as well as other鈥檚. 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 can not 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鈥檚 appointments is the 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鈥檚
duty,
whether
public
or
private.
Imagine
how
it
would
be
if
those
who
are
put
in
charge
of
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 fellow men.
