23年高考英语外刊阅读理解训练——你是守时还是迟到?
——改编自Why are you late
Time management is a challenge for many, and some individuals constantly find themselves running late. These people are referred to as "time benders," who have difficulty being early and often don't allocate sufficient travel time. They presume everything will go according to plan, and they will not face any delays.
Different attitudes towards punctuality exist, with some individuals being strict about arriving on time while others aim to make the most of every second. However, deviations in their schedules result in tardiness.
Perceptions of unpunctual individuals are often negative, even though reasons for lateness may be unrelated to personal fault. Personality traits can contribute to punctuality issues, such as an optimistic outlook, low self-control levels, anxiety, or a liking for thrills. Furthermore, individuals may be late to avoid standing out or waiting anxiously for others.
Experts recommend deciding to be punctual rather than merely attempting to be timely. Still, people might view specific appointments as critical, becoming motivating factors to be prompt. Regardless of the situation, if tardiness isn't detrimental, it's best to relax, even if others feel frustrated since time never stops ticking away.
