At the theater,she disrupts the first act as she climbs over your knees toward her seat. When your doorbell rings on a Saturday night, long after your other guests have begun eating, you know he has arrived for 21______. At work, you don't expect her at your 9:00 A.M. meeting.
They are the latecomers, and it doesn't matter 22______ they wear a watch or use an alarm clock. Lateness is their way of life.
Chronic lateness has spoiled friendships, and it's a habit that has caused people to lose 23______ jobs. Why, then, are so many people late?
"Not arriving 24______ time can be a form of avoidance," says Dr. Richard Kravitz, a psychiatrist at Yale New Haven Medical Center in Connecticut. "You're late for a party, maybe, or coming home from work, because you don't want to be where you're 25______ to be."
Other reasons for chronic lateness are 26______. Dr. Kravitz suggests that some latecomers may have masochistic(受虐的) tendencies. They know that their lateness will cause 27______, and this serves their deep need to be punished. Alternatively, some latecomers may have a sadistic motive. For them, forcing someone to wait is way of expressing anger or 28______.
Dr. Herbert Fensterheim, a psychologist at New York Cornell Medical Center, agrees that lateness can be used as a weapon with which to strike out at someone. However, he adds that for some people lateness is nothing more 29______ a habit learned in childhood from a parent or an older brother or sister who also ran late. For others, lateness is a result of an inability to judge time. There are also those who are so easily distracted that they simply "lose track" of time, 30______ others never estimate or leave the time they need to keep on schedule.
As for those of us who wait, we can set limits as to how long we will stay before leaving. When appropriate, we can make our anger known. And though it is true that being prompt can be as compulsive as being late, Shakespeare advised this,"Better three hours too soon than a minute too late."

Questions 31~35 are based on the following passage.
I' ve loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she'd said again,"it's for Elizabeth."
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry.I knew she loved me, she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was"too emotional (易动感情的)". But she lived"on the surface(表面)".
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment (失望), then little interest and, finally, peace--it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded (折叠) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer,my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage.
A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car."Is this your car, sir?"he asked.
Paul answered, "Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was surprised. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish..." He hesitated (犹豫). Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. "I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again,"Would you like to take a ride in my car?" "Oh yes, I'd love to," the boy answered.
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, "Sir, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back,but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的)brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car.
"There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it... then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."
