问题     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 does the passage mainly talk about?
选项 A、Valuable time.
B、Popular appointments.
C、Harm of unpunctuality.
D、Advantages of punctuality.
答案C
解析 通读全文可知，文章开篇以守时的人的定义引出对与其相反的不守时的人的介绍，下文紧接着介绍了不守时的人的缺点、不守时造成的不良影响以及带来的危害，所以本篇文章主要在讲不守时的坏处。故选C。
