It is very common for a person to have a good friend. My good friend is Diana. She is a rich and proud girl. She often thinks that she is too good for anyone, so nobody wants to be her friend.
One day after school, I was waiting for Diana when Vivien came up to me. She gave me a biscuit. I accepted it. We talked and joked, and from then on, I began to spend more time with Vivien than with Diana. I felt a little uneasy.

Many of us like to eat out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing hearty (丰盛的), fat-filled dishes and sugary desserts, which are not easily cooked at home.
The recent rise of light meals, however, gives us a smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fibre meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms.
The country saw a rapid increase of restaurants concentrating on light meals, from just 600 in 2017 to more than 3,500 in 2018. According to a report published by Meituan, a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 percent from the previous year.
Having a light meal, however, doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily, salty and spicy food. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients(营养物)are the theme of the light meal.
These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That’s probably why so many people, especially the youths are into them. They see it as “a great way to avoid getting fat,” wrote the Telegraph.
“After eating several light meals, I now prefer light flavours,” Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan, told China Daily. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef, eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.
These changes in eating behaviour are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food, says Walter Willett, chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard T.Chan School of Public Health, US. “Diet quality, not quantity, is important for both weight control and long-term well-being,” Willett told The New York Times.
So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.
36. What are light meals
A. Fat-filled dishes.
B. Meat free dishes.
C. sugary desserts.
D. low-calorie and high-fibre meals.
37. What is the main way that the author used to prove the popularity of light meals in China
A. Listing numbers.
B. Giving examples.
C. Giving descriptions.
D. Showing other people’s opinions.
38. Why do many young people enjoy light meals, according to the article
A They are usually colourful.
B. They are simple and convenient.
C. They are cheaper than other meals.
D. They can help people control their weight.
39. What do we know from the last two paragraphs
A. Light meals will stay popular for a while.
B. One’s eating habit shows their personality.
C. There is a change in attitude toward healthy eating.
D. It’s important to eat the right amount of good food.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题; 每小题2分; 满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
What are you going to do if you are in a burning house？ How will you escape？ Do you know how to save yourself？ Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family， such as stairways and fire escapes， but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings， escaping through windows is possible， learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person， hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course， it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked（渗） into the room.
On a second or third floor， the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement（水泥） might end in injury. Bushes（灌木丛） and grass can help to break a fall.

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a getting. It was not until in my later thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form.
One Sunday morning the local post office delivered a letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation.“Wasn’t it you that wrote us a letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home ” I said it was.“Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if you have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complains.”

Two roller skaters were crouched(蹲伏) low, knees bent and bodies pressed together, fighting to stay glued to prevent a third skater slip through and break their wall. This was a roller derby(轮滑阻拦赛) practice for the Tiny Terrors, a team of skaters aged 8-11 in the Gotham Girls Junior League of New York City. “They want to fight and get really fast, and they find so much confidence,” said Kristen Campbell, director of the junior derby program.
Roller derby is played with two teams of five skaters on a track. One player on each team serves as the jammer whose job is to race around the track and score points without getting blocked by the other team. The match is made up of two 30-minute periods that each consists of shorter plays or jams. Each jam lasts two minutes or until the lead jammer calls it off, usually a move made to stop the other jammer from catching up and scoring points.
You have probably heard of adults playing roller derby, but a growing number of young people are attracted by the fast-paced sport. Campbell owes the increase in interest partly to a popular novel called “Roller Girl.”
Campbell described the junior league as a shelter for girls who aren’t sure where they fit in at school. “I’ve had so many parents tell me their child was having trouble with anxiety or bullying(欺负) or that they didn’t fit into any sport or art club or whatever it is,” she said. “And then they find roller derby and everything is solved.”
Many of the girls said they got much more out of the sport than just exercise. As Campbell tells it, those extra lessons are really the point. Strength, confidence and body positivity have long been values of roller derby, even if it’s subliminal rather than open and direct.
Of course, like any contact sport, injuries are unavoidable.
“They don’t go for big hits,” Campbell said. “Now we focus more on hip blocking and using lateral(横向的) movement to block—leaning each other out with light contact.” Besides, the girls don’t mind the occasional bump. “It’s sort of like a medal,” Campbell said, smiling.
51. What can we learn about roller derby
A. It is played with five skaters on a track.
B. It is the most dangerous sport especially for kids.
C It lasts an hour with some short plays in a game.
D. The jammer’s job is to stop others getting scores.
52. What can we learn from the passage
A. Girls often get injured in roller derby practice.
B. Roller derby is the most competitive sport at school.
C. Roller derby helps girls free from being bullied at school.
D. A novel contributes to the popularity of roller derby among girls.
53. By saying “it’s subliminal rather than open and direct”, the author means ________.
A. people can gain a lot from roller derby
B. roller derby has fewer values than we think
C. it is easy to show the values of roller derby
D. many people are not aware of the values of roller derby
54. According to Campbell, the roller derby girls ________.
A. do better than adult players
B. wear their wounds with pride
C. fear nothing but fierce bumps
D. won’t learn full contact until they’re 12
55. What is the best title for the passage
A. Girls build confidence in the tough world of roller derby.
B. Roller derby becomes popular among kids around the world.
C. How roller derby changes the life of girls in the US.
D. The Tiny Terrors calls for more brave girls to join.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题; 每小题2分; 满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Nile Cruise in Egypt
It’s hard to beat Egypt for its mix of heat and culture in December. A seven-night cruise on board a traditional 19th-century-style wooden luxury sailing vessel, which sleeps up to 12 and cruises between Luxor and Aswan， costs from 775 per head full board，departing on December 11 through Bales (0845 057 0600 ; www. .)
Christmas Markets in Cologne
Perhaps the best of northern Europe’s many Christmas markets is Cologne -- there are seven separate themed markets which start opening this week. Cologne is also one of the easiest places to get to by train. Eurostar connections from London via Brussels take just under four hours and return tickets are available this winter from 89 (0843 218 6186; www. ). For details of accommodation and markets see Cologne Tourism (www. cologne-).
Skiing in Val Thorens
If you want to be sure of snow for skiing in the Alps before Christmas you need to head high -- where you will get the advantage of quiet slopes and low prices. A week9s stay at Chalet Eliane costs from 399 chalet board through Crystal Ski (0871 231 2256;www.crystalski.co.uk)，or, much more luxurious, a week’s half board at the five-star hotel costs from 1,195 through Crystal Finest (0871 971 0364; www.crystal finest.co.uk). Both packages are for departures on December 13.
Japanese Onsen
Snow monkeys warming themselves in the hot springs at Yudanaka make an endearing sight. As snowflakes fall you may be tempted to climb in yourself (perhaps not the same pool，though). Experience this, overnight at a temple and a ryokan, and see Tokyo and Hiroshima, traveling by bullet train, on the 14-night Japan Unmasked tour: 1,600, excluding flights (0117 314 4620; www.).

Only humans speak using words. But all animals can communicate in one way or another. Maybe you have heard about the way bees dance around to send messages to each other and the way dogs make loud noises in different ways to give warnings.
Do you know that animals can communicate through infrasonic (次声的) sounds This is how it works:
Humans hear low sounds like thunder rumbling (雷声轰鸣) in the sky. But we don’t hear sounds lower than these. However, elephants can hear many lower sounds, and they use them to communicate with each other. This is known as infrasound.
Another surprising thing about infrasound is that it travels over several kilometres. Sounds which have a higher pitch(音调), like the ones people can hear, don’t travel through walls, leaves, trees and so on. And that is why we can’t hear sounds from more than 100 metres away. But infrasound is much ‘stronger’, and things like grass and trees have no effect on it. Because of that it can travel much farther. Elephants can hear infrasonic calls from four kilometres away!
There have been reports that people were watching elephants feeding or resting when the elephants all ran away for no reason at all. It is clear that they heard a warning call from a long way away, but the people didn’t hear the sound. In places like a zoo where you can get nearer to animals, it is a bit easier to sense when infrasonic sounds are made. When you stand near mother elephants with their babies in a zoo you may notice a weak rumbling in the air every few minutes — not loud or strong, but clearly noticeable. They are infrasonic calls — the mother elephants “talking” to their babies.
36. Why does the author mention bees and dogs in Paragraph 1
A. To show humans are special.
B. To introduce animal communication.
C. To compare different kinds of animals.
D. To tell us an interesting story about animals.
37. We can learn from the passage that infrasound ________.
A. belongs to high sounds
B. can travel longer distances
C. is higher than the sound of thunder
D. gets weaker when traveling through walls
38. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The people watching also heard the warning call.
B. The people could hear lower sounds than elephants.
C. The elephants were frightened by the people nearby.
D. The elephants communicated through infrasonic sounds.
39. It is easier for people to notice infrasound if they ________.
A. live in the wild B. go to the park
C. stay closer to animals D. watch elephants feeding
40. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Wild Elephants B. The Animal World
C. Talking Through Infrasound D. Dog Communication
C
A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man, on the other 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 others’. 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 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 a 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 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 is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.
41. What is an unpunctual person like
A. He always does a thing when it should be done.
B. He is always very busy.
C. He always does a thing at the wrong time.
D. He always keeps the appointments.
42. Why is unpunctuality very harmful
A. Because it makes a man lose many chances of doing important affairs.
B. Because it makes a man lose friends.
C. Because it makes a man work quickly.
D. Because it makes a man be more respected by others.
43. According to the passage, which is right
A. The punctual person has no much work to do.
B. The unpunctual person is very rich.
C. The unpunctual person is often respected by his friends.
D. The unpunctual person loses what can’t be regained again.
44. According to the passage, what are good manners when you are invited to a party
A. Arriving at the appointed time. B. Arriving before all other guests.
C. Arriving after all other guests. D. Keeping all other guests waiting.
45. Why is a person always unpunctual
A. He is too busy. B. He has too much work to do.
C. He does care much about time. D. He doesn’t manage his time properly.

After a few days, I went to see Diana for some snack. When Vivien came and sat with me, she offered me a sandwich. She also offered one to Diana, but Diana refused it. She walked away. I was angry with Diana for being so rude and thoughtless. “Never mind,” Vivien said, “I'm used to it.”

Many of us like to eat out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing hearty (丰盛的), fat-filled dishes and sugary desserts, which are not easily cooked at home.
The recent rise of light meals, however, gives us a smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fibre meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms.
The country saw a rapid increase of restaurants concentrating on light meals, from just 600 in 2017 to more than 3,500 in 2018. According to a report published by Meituan, a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 percent from the previous year.
Having a light meal, however, doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily, salty and spicy food. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients(营养物)are the theme of the light meal.
These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That’s probably why so many people, especially the youths are into them. They see it as “a great way to avoid getting fat,” wrote the Telegraph.
“After eating several light meals, I now prefer light flavours,” Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan, told China Daily. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef, eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.
These changes in eating behaviour are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food, says Walter Willett, chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard T.Chan School of Public Health, US. “Diet quality, not quantity, is important for both weight control and long-term well-being,” Willett told The New York Times.
So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.
36. What are light meals
A. Fat-filled dishes.
B. Meat free dishes.
C. sugary desserts.
D. low-calorie and high-fibre meals.
37. What is the main way that the author used to prove the popularity of light meals in China
A. Listing numbers.
B. Giving examples.
C. Giving descriptions.
D. Showing other people’s opinions.
38. Why do many young people enjoy light meals, according to the article
A They are usually colourful.
B. They are simple and convenient.
C. They are cheaper than other meals.
D. They can help people control their weight.
39. What do we know from the last two paragraphs
A. Light meals will stay popular for a while.
B. One’s eating habit shows their personality.
C. There is a change in attitude toward healthy eating.
D. It’s important to eat the right amount of good food.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house？ How will you escape？ Do you know how to save yourself？ Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family， such as stairways and fire escapes， but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings， escaping through windows is possible， learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person， hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course， it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked（渗） into the room.
On a second or third floor， the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement（水泥） might end in injury. Bushes（灌木丛） and grass can help to break a fall.

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a getting. It was not until in my later thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form.
One Sunday morning the local post office delivered a letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation.“Wasn’t it you that wrote us a letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home ” I said it was.“Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if you have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complains.”

A. other people were selfish B. he thought it exciting to get from others

A. he knew what such a note would mean to the post office

Two roller skaters were crouched(蹲伏) low, knees bent and bodies pressed together, fighting to stay glued to prevent a third skater slip through and break their wall. This was a roller derby(轮滑阻拦赛) practice for the Tiny Terrors, a team of skaters aged 8-11 in the Gotham Girls Junior League of New York City. “They want to fight and get really fast, and they find so much confidence,” said Kristen Campbell, director of the junior derby program.
Roller derby is played with two teams of five skaters on a track. One player on each team serves as the jammer whose job is to race around the track and score points without getting blocked by the other team. The match is made up of two 30-minute periods that each consists of shorter plays or jams. Each jam lasts two minutes or until the lead jammer calls it off, usually a move made to stop the other jammer from catching up and scoring points.
You have probably heard of adults playing roller derby, but a growing number of young people are attracted by the fast-paced sport. Campbell owes the increase in interest partly to a popular novel called “Roller Girl.”
Campbell described the junior league as a shelter for girls who aren’t sure where they fit in at school. “I’ve had so many parents tell me their child was having trouble with anxiety or bullying(欺负) or that they didn’t fit into any sport or art club or whatever it is,” she said. “And then they find roller derby and everything is solved.”
Many of the girls said they got much more out of the sport than just exercise. As Campbell tells it, those extra lessons are really the point. Strength, confidence and body positivity have long been values of roller derby, even if it’s subliminal rather than open and direct.
Of course, like any contact sport, injuries are unavoidable.
“They don’t go for big hits,” Campbell said. “Now we focus more on hip blocking and using lateral(横向的) movement to block—leaning each other out with light contact.” Besides, the girls don’t mind the occasional bump. “It’s sort of like a medal,” Campbell said, smiling.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题; 每小题2分; 满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Nile Cruise in Egypt
It’s hard to beat Egypt for its mix of heat and culture in December. A seven-night cruise on board a traditional 19th-century-style wooden luxury sailing vessel, which sleeps up to 12 and cruises between Luxor and Aswan， costs from 775 per head full board，departing on December 11 through Bales (0845 057 0600 ; www. .)
Christmas Markets in Cologne
Perhaps the best of northern Europe’s many Christmas markets is Cologne -- there are seven separate themed markets which start opening this week. Cologne is also one of the easiest places to get to by train. Eurostar connections from London via Brussels take just under four hours and return tickets are available this winter from 89 (0843 218 6186; www. ). For details of accommodation and markets see Cologne Tourism (www. cologne-).
Skiing in Val Thorens
If you want to be sure of snow for skiing in the Alps before Christmas you need to head high -- where you will get the advantage of quiet slopes and low prices. A week9s stay at Chalet Eliane costs from 399 chalet board through Crystal Ski (0871 231 2256;www.crystalski.co.uk)，or, much more luxurious, a week’s half board at the five-star hotel costs from 1,195 through Crystal Finest (0871 971 0364; www.crystal finest.co.uk). Both packages are for departures on December 13.
Japanese Onsen
Snow monkeys warming themselves in the hot springs at Yudanaka make an endearing sight. As snowflakes fall you may be tempted to climb in yourself (perhaps not the same pool，though). Experience this, overnight at a temple and a ryokan, and see Tokyo and Hiroshima, traveling by bullet train, on the 14-night Japan Unmasked tour: 1,600, excluding flights (0117 314 4620; www.).

Only humans speak using words. But all animals can communicate in one way or another. Maybe you have heard about the way bees dance around to send messages to each other and the way dogs make loud noises in different ways to give warnings.
Do you know that animals can communicate through infrasonic (次声的) sounds This is how it works:
Humans hear low sounds like thunder rumbling (雷声轰鸣) in the sky. But we don’t hear sounds lower than these. However, elephants can hear many lower sounds, and they use them to communicate with each other. This is known as infrasound.
Another surprising thing about infrasound is that it travels over several kilometres. Sounds which have a higher pitch(音调), like the ones people can hear, don’t travel through walls, leaves, trees and so on. And that is why we can’t hear sounds from more than 100 metres away. But infrasound is much ‘stronger’, and things like grass and trees have no effect on it. Because of that it can travel much farther. Elephants can hear infrasonic calls from four kilometres away!
There have been reports that people were watching elephants feeding or resting when the elephants all ran away for no reason at all. It is clear that they heard a warning call from a long way away, but the people didn’t hear the sound. In places like a zoo where you can get nearer to animals, it is a bit easier to sense when infrasonic sounds are made. When you stand near mother elephants with their babies in a zoo you may notice a weak rumbling in the air every few minutes — not loud or strong, but clearly noticeable. They are infrasonic calls — the mother elephants “talking” to their babies.
36. Why does the author mention bees and dogs in Paragraph 1
A. To show humans are special.
B. To introduce animal communication.
C. To compare different kinds of animals.
D. To tell us an interesting story about animals.
37. We can learn from the passage that infrasound ________.
A. belongs to high sounds
B. can travel longer distances
C. is higher than the sound of thunder
D. gets weaker when traveling through walls
38. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The people watching also heard the warning call.
B. The people could hear lower sounds than elephants.
C. The elephants were frightened by the people nearby.
D. The elephants communicated through infrasonic sounds.
39. It is easier for people to notice infrasound if they ________.
A. live in the wild B. go to the park
C. stay closer to animals D. watch elephants feeding
40. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Wild Elephants B. The Animal World
C. Talking Through Infrasound D. Dog Communication
C
A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man, on the other 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 others’. 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 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 a 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 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 is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.
41. What is an unpunctual person like
A. He always does a thing when it should be done.
B. He is always very busy.
C. He always does a thing at the wrong time.
D. He always keeps the appointments.
42. Why is unpunctuality very harmful
A. Because it makes a man lose many chances of doing important affairs.
B. Because it makes a man lose friends.
C. Because it makes a man work quickly.
D. Because it makes a man be more respected by others.
43. According to the passage, which is right
A. The punctual person has no much work to do.
B. The unpunctual person is very rich.
C. The unpunctual person is often respected by his friends.
D. The unpunctual person loses what can’t be regained again.
44. According to the passage, what are good manners when you are invited to a party
A. Arriving at the appointed time. B. Arriving before all other guests.
C. Arriving after all other guests. D. Keeping all other guests waiting.
45. Why is a person always unpunctual
A. He is too busy. B. He has too much work to do.
C. He does care much about time. D. He doesn’t manage his time properly.
