问题     In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, etc.  However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian (巴西的) 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 the scheduled time. Several arrived half an hour later. 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 a university class.  He found that if they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time.  However, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.
    In an American university, 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. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.  
It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that______.
选项 A、American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes late
B、neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in appointment
C、being late in one culture may not be considered so in another culture
D、Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time
答案C
解析 从第二段教授对约会的调查中可知，美国学生和巴西学生对约会迟到的定义是不同的。所以选C。
