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.
What can we infer from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation ?
选项
A、Neither Brazilian nor American students like to be late in social gatherings.
B、American students will become impatient if their friend is ten minutes late.
C、Being late in one culture may not be considered rude in another culture.
D、Brazilian students will not come thirty - three minutes after the agreed time.
答案
C
解析
这是一道考察推理的题型,题干要求考生根据美国教授对非正式场合的迟到问题所做的研究进行推测。从文中我们可以看出许多关键性提示:美国人的时间观念比较强,巴西人则不然,正是由于美巴两种文化的不同,巴西人的迟到也无伤大雅,因此选项C最符合题意。
