Punctuality (准时) means observing regular or appointed

time. A man who gets up at seven o'clock every morning is

punctual. A man who has permitted to call on a friend at      【S1】______

five o'clock in the afternoon and actually does such at that hour  【S2】______

is also punctual.

  Punctuality is a good habit, and unpunctuality is a bad

one. A few minutes delay may not be a serious matter.        【S3】______

But it may have bad results. Getting up five minutes

later than usually may upset the plan of the day.          【S4】______

Call on a friend five minutes later than the appointed time may   【S5】______

cause him some unexpected trouble. Nevertheless, habitual      【S6】______

unpunctuality leads to indolence (懒惰) and even failure in life.

One delay after another makes a man unable to exert himself. It

also proves him be untrustworthy.                  【S7】______

  Those who are unpunctual should try their best to get rid

from their bad habit. In doing this, they should avoid making    【S8】______

any kind of exception. They should ever say to themselves: "A    【S9】______

few minutes' delay does not matter this time. I shall never be

unpunctual again." Those who think in this way will find excuses

for delay from time to time, and will at least give up the attempt

cultivating the good habit of punctuality. Like all other good   【S10】______

habits, punctuality becomes second nature with those who

have duly cultivated it.

听力原文：M: You live in Washington, don't you?

W: No. I work in Washington, but I live in Maryland. My home is in Potomac, Maryland.

M: How far is it form. Washington?

W: It's not very far. Just about fifteen miles.

M: So you commute from home to work. How do you like commuting?

W: It's not bad. I'm used to it now.

M: How long does it take?

W: It depends on the traffic. It takes forty-five minutes in the morning, because the traffic is very bad then.

M: I suppose the traffic is bad at the end of the day, too, when commuters are leaving the city.

W: Yes. The worst time is between five and six. It sometimes takes me fifty minutes to drive home, if I can't leave Washington before five o'clock.

M: How long does it take when there's not much traffic?

W: Only twenty-five minutes. Commuting is easy then.

Where is the woman living now?

听力原文：M: You are my campaign manager, Mary. How do 1 convince members of the student body that I'm the best candidate for school president?

W: It won't be easy.

M: Thanks a lot.

W: I'm just kidding, Smith. Actually I think once we show everyone how well you did as junior class treasurer, you will win easily.

M: How do we do that? Meet with all three thousand people who are members of the student body?

W: Come on. What Fm thinking of first is hanging campaign posters in all the hall ways where most of the students are sure to see them.

M: That sounds good. But everyone puts up posters. What can we do that's different?

W: The campus radio station is willing to let you have five minutes tomorrow morning at seven o'clock to outline your plans for the year. Lots of students will be listening, then.

M: That's a great idea.

W: I've also arranged for you to give a speech during dinner tomorrow. At least five hundred of the students will be there. You'll answer questions after you've finished speaking.

M: That means I'd better come up with a speech pretty quickly. How about if I write it tonight and show it to you after chemistry class tomorrow?

W: Fine. I'll see you after class.

M: Thanks for all your help.
