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 charge 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.
According to the passage, the main reason that a person is always unpunctual is that____.
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
What does the underlined word mean?
A. in time B. be late C. on time D. at times
According to the third paragraph, when you are invited to dinner, you should arrive
There ____.
A. after other guests have arrived B. at the appointed time
C. before all other guests D. after the host has got things ready
Which of the following statements best describes the harm of unpunctuality?
A. If you are an unpunctual person, you cannot be in charge of any important task.
B. Unpunctuality may bring about heavy losses for both public and private affairs
C. If your friends know that you are unpunctual, they may not see you again.
D. Unpunctuality may make you miss a lot of appointments and lose friends.

Increasingly ,over the past ten years ,people—especially young people—have become aware of the need to change their eating habits ,because much of the food they eat ,particularly processed foods ,is not good for the health .As a result ,there has been a growing interest in natural foods :foods which do not contain chemical fertilizers ,widely used in farming today .
Natural foods ,for example ,are vegetables ,fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic(有機的)matter . In simple terms ,this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter ,which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers , the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of food grown in commercial farming areas .
Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy grassland for cattle .Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry (家禽):there are battery farms ,for example ,where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish .Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins .
There are other things of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet .Take ,for example ,the question of sugar .This is actually a non-essential food! Although another natural food ,such as honey ,can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary ,we can in fact do without it .It is not that sugar is harmful in itself .But it does seem to be addictive : the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year !Yet all it does is provide us with energy ,in the form of calories .There are no vitamins in it ,no minerals ,and no fibre .
It’s very important that nowadays fibre is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet .In white bread ,for example ,the fibre has been removed .But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables .It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables ,certain diseases are comparatively not often seen .For this reason ,the importance is placed on the eating of wholemeal(沒有去麩的面粉)bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.
People have become more interested in natural foods because .
A.they want to keep fit
B.they want to taste all kinds of foods
C.natural foods are more delicious than processed foods
D.they want to return to nature
Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that .
A.they are fed on food which is little better than garbage
B.they live in very crowed condition
C.the eggs they produce lack vitamins
D.they are allowed to move about and eat freely
According to the passage,_________.
A.people need sugar to give them energy
B.sugar is bad for the health
C.the use of sugar is habit forming
D.sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful

“Hey, Jenny ! How’s the model?”
I had just taken a bite of my hot dog 31 I heard a familiar voice yelling at me from across the crowded school yard. I saw a group of popular girls who were all 32 .
“What kind of 33 are you going to do? An ad for a Frankenstein movie?” More laughter. My stomach twisted into a tight knot. How could they humiliate (羞辱) me like this, in front of the entire school? As I walked into the cafeteria, I 34 the dark scars on my right hand.
At 9 months old, I knocked over a tea pot and dumped boiling water all over my hands and stomach. My parents 35 me to the hospital, but I had to have skin graft (移植) operation. I was in so much pain! But what 36 me most were the cruel things people said about how I looked, like that day at lunch.
The girls were being super mean to me because they’d heard I was considering doing some modeling. A close friend had suggested that I shouldn’t let my scars 37 me and that I might make a good model.
But after that 38 at school, I was sure I’d made a huge mistake. Upon arriving home, I covered the mirror with a blanket, fell on my bed and sobbed.
The next day, I 39 myself to go to school. At lunch my best friend Jesse tried to encourage me: “You can’t 40 forever, Jenny. So what if you have a few scars? Just go outside and show them that you’re just as good as they are.” Although I knew he was right, I couldn’t imagine standing up for myself like that.
However, that night as I sat on the bed, my friend’s words replayed in my mind. I’m 41 hiding from myself, I thought. How stupid! Slowly, I stood up, walked over to the 42 , and tossed the blanket aside. There, in the mirror I saw a slim, dark-haired, blue-eyed girl, looking just fine, 43 with a few scars.
The next day I wore a comfortable T-shirt to school. What’s more, I had lunch outside the cafeteria,
44 beside those mean girls. They were shocked that I should dare to walk into their territory. I felt different too—free and happy.
Sometimes people still look at me strangely. They whisper and stare, but I don’t let it get to me. I have applied to several modeling companies, and at least one company is considering me for jobs. Maybe I’ll never 45 posing on the runway (T形舞臺), but I do know one thing: I’m done.

A. nodding B. cheering C. laughing D. quarreling
A. modeling B. writing C. drilling D. acting

A. effect B. phenomenon C. movement D. scene
A. forced B. expected C. reminded D. arranged
A. apologize B. beg C. hide D. complain
A. hardly B. ever C. even D. gradually
