appointment.
The unpunctual man, on one hand, 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 lost time can never be
regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever
wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as other"s. The unpunctual person is always
complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the
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 the 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 do 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 is never trusted by his friends or fellow
men.

kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for
years, Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and
does not require any special attention, The second kind, situation-for example, family problem, the death of a
loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems. such as
headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic (the opposite of
"temporary") usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual
loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely
people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person"s social contacts, for example,
friends, family members. co-workers, etc. we depend on various people for different reasons; For instance, our
families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar
interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social
contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more, They question their popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and
unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease,
while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

they seem to mean is that they have never had a"course" about history or read. any history books. But they are
greatly mistaken if they think " they don" t know any history". Every man, woman, and child knows some
history, enough at least to live in the world.
Suppose you had awakened this morning totally unable to remember anything-all your other senses working
properly, but ____. You would be in a bad way indeed! You wouldn"t know who you were, or where you were, what you had done yesterday, or what you intended of other people expected you to do today. What could you
do in that case? Wander about helplessly, seeing and hearing things, taking them in as altogether new, not at all
knowing what they might mean in relation either to the past or to the future. You would have to discover your
little world all over again, much as you discovered it in childhood. You would have to" adapt (适应)" yourself
and make a new start. In short, you would be a lost soul because you had stopped to have any knowledge of
history, the history of your personal doings and associations(联系 ) in the past. The fact is that history is no
more than things said and done in the past.

Americans from childhood think a great deal about time and they learn to value time very much. As
children, they are taught.that time is everything.
Time is money. A working American has to work hard for 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week. This is the
working time. In his spare time, he also works hard for more money. Even Saturday and Sunday are filled with
activities. In the street you can hardly see a man who walks slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are
running.
Time is knowledge. No matter whether they go to work or go back home, they will take advantage of every minute to read on the buses, trains and ships.
Time is friendship. When an American is invited to dinner, he won"t be late or get there too early. Otherwise, his arrival will make the others unhappy.
Seeing from above, we should learn from Americans to value every minute very much.
that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one
person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied (依赖) on how well they
performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs.
In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly
forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a
culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame
competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from
their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem
to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: " I may
have lost, but it doesn"t matter because I really didn"t try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the
belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their
worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are
based on the mistaken belief that one"s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with
others. Both are afraid of not being… Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解)
can we discover a …meaning in competition.
B. Opinions about competition are different among people.
C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.
B. It builds up a sense of duty.
C. It improves personal abilities.
D. It encourages individual efforts.
B. those who value competitionj most highly
C. those who are against competition most strongly
D. those who rely on others most for success
B. One"s success in competition needs great efforts.
C. One"s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D. One"s success is based on how hard he has tried.
B. Competition should be encouraged.
C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

Host family accommodation, or living with host families, remains popular among language travel students
for its advantages. These days, host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality, for they still have
something to worry about.
Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study,
cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough
practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living
in host families also has the advantage for students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with
their "host parents", and get to know the local way of life, people and culture. Another advantage is that host
family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students for it ensures them a family
type of living at a low cost.
The advantages, however, have not prevented host families form worrying. On one hand, some host families
are losing their unique selling point. The problem is that the majority of hosts in big cites, now generally single
and young, have less times available for students but the selling point for host family accommodation is
communication practice. One the other hand, students"expectations have risen. They are becoming more
demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-
economic groups in their own countries.
To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service.
They are trying to making living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom,
and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. They are also providing students with structured family
activities.
It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students.
