In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two - hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a. m. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a. m. Several arrived after 10; 30 a. m. Two students came after 11a. m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.
The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation; at a lunch with a friend and in university calls, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student showed clearly lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student would be 33 minutes late.
In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast , in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12: 00; many remained past 12; 30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. Arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.

选项
A、People learn the importance of time form the country in which they live.
B、The importance of being on time differs among cultures.
C、Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.
D、it is important to come to class on time in the United States.
答案
B
解析
这是一道提炼主旨的题型,要求考生在选项中找出适合做文章主旨的一项。通读全文可以明显地感受到,作者用大量篇幅讲述人们在巴西和美国不同文化中对时间观念持不同态度和看法。答案选项中B是最符合题意,其中选项A,“人们从自己生活的国家了解时间的重要性”和选项C,“迟到的学生应该向老师解释原因”在文中没有提及到,而选项D,作为全文的主旨还不够全面。
