问题 In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)
选项 3、Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend?
A. at 7: 00 am
B. at 4:00 pm
C. at the midnight
D. at 4:00 am
答案B
解析这是一道细节题。本题询问“如果你想约你的朋友，以下哪个时间是比较恰当的？”。这道题目的答案在文章中没有直接表述，需要读者依据文章中的内容自己进行推断。根据文章的表述，我们得出结论：只要不是生死攸关的大事，就不能选择在每天很早的时候或是深夜给朋友打电话。选项A、C、D这三个时间段不是过早就是过晚，只有选项B“下午4点”比较合适，因此答案选择B。
