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.
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ? ________
选项
A、Both American and Brazilian students will often be late for a lunch appointment.
B、Classes begin and end at the scheduled time in the United States.
C、Brazilian teachers don’t mind staying late after class.
D、Brazilian students usually arrive late and leave early.
答案
D
解析
这是一道判断是非的题型。从第二段最后两句话可以看出,选项A,“美国学生和巴西学生在午餐约会时通常会迟到”符合文义。最后一段中提到“Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States,but also end at the scheduled time.”,可见选项B,“在美国,要在规定的时间上下课”符合文义。文中最后一段结尾处讲到“在巴西,很少学生会在12点离开教室,很多人会留下一直到12点半以后来讨论课程、问问题。在巴西,迟到和晚走都不重要。”可见,选项C,“巴西老师不介意在下课后留下”也符合文义,因此答案为D。
