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 right time. __36__
There's a proverb which says, “Time flies never to be recalled.” This is true. __37__ The unpunctual man is for ever wasting his most valuable asset (财产) as well as others'. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments. __38__ He knows that he can get through his huge amount of work only if he faithfully keeps every appointment and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
__39__ 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 rude both to the host and the other guests.
Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to one's duty. 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. __40__
A.They appear to be busy but never get well paid.
B.He is always in a hurry and ends up losing time.
C.Maybe nobody minds being kept waiting at a dinner party.
D.A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained.
E.But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time.
F.A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by others.
G.Failure to be punctual in keeping one's appointment is a sign of disrespect towards others.
