A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
An unpunctual man, on the contrary, 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 the lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. An unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (财产) as well as others’. An unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, return calls or keep appointments promptly. But a 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’s 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 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 doing 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 place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual will never be trusted by his friends or fellow men.
What is the main reason why a person is always unpunctual according to the passage?
选项
A、He doesn’t care much about time.
B、He is much busier than other people.
C、He is always in a hurry when he works.
D、He always mismanages and wastes his time.
答案
D
解析
根据第二段第六句“An unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as others’.. ”可知,不守时的人总是在浪费他人和自己最宝贵的财产,并对这些财产管理不当。由此可推知,此处most valuable asset指的是时间,即不守时的人总是对自己的时间管理不当,并且浪费自己的时间。故选D。本题容易误选C项,根据第二段第二句可知,工作匆忙是不守时的结果,而不是原因。
