16.Sahnun Mohamud has never lived in Somalia,but the 21-year-old student has helped set up an organization that supports aid projects for the east-African country.Sahnun Mohamud is a co-founder and director of a group called Students for Somalia.He is following the humanitarian example of his mother.Mr.Mohamud attends William & Mary College in Williamsburg,Virgina.It is a long way from Somalia.However,that coastal nation is home to many of his relatives.His parents were born there.His mother,Filsan Darman helped start the non-profit agency Aadamiga Somalia,which provided for aid to Somalia in 1987.
Filsan Darman said the agency provided food and clothing to Somali people,who had fled to the Somali capital Mogadishu to escape contradiction in the North.
Sahnun Mohamud praised his mother's service,"She's been helping Somalia since before I was born."
Mr.Mohamud became involved in Humanitarian projects early in life.One of his goals for starting Students for Somalia was to get more non-Somalis to take part in helping Somalia.He noted that many Somali aid organizations have only Somali members.
"So my group and my whole motto has been‘Let every ethnicity and race help Somalia'.I think it's a huge resource to have non-somali people helping Somalia."said Mohamud.
This year,Students for Somalia and Aadamiga are cooperating on a project to fight poverty and increase education.Mr.Mohamud said the groups lend money to women who have lived a long time in refugee(难民)camps in Mogadishu.They use the money to start or support businesses like small food stores.The women must have a child in school in Somalia to receive the money.She also must pay back the loan,but Mr.Mohamud says the woman does not return the loan money to the lender.Instead,she gives it to her child's schoo1.That way,he says,the school can make improvements.

A. | started | B. | starting | C. | to be started | D. | to start |
A.The mistaken belief B.The need for tolerance C.Unpunctuality at dinners D.Punctuality and confidence E.Self-discipline and punctuality F.Avoid anxiety by being punctual |
There is the belief that,if you arrive at an appointment late,you will be considered important.This is a mistaken view.Being unpunctual,we are not respectful of others; we are interfering (扰乱)with another man's time.We must realise that keeping appointments or being punctual is a contract that is silently agreed and we are expected to respect this contract.It is only natural that we lose faith,trust and confidence in a person who is tardy(延迟的).
62.E
To be punctual one has to have self-discipline(自律),and the lack of it affects others.A school boy or girl is unpunctual because he or she does not have the necessary human virtue of self-discipline.It is also a mark of disrespect for a system or an institution.Unpunctual people seldom realise that their habit cause problems to others.A salesman who is not punctual may not make a sale if he arrives late for an appointment.If one is late for a job interview,it is not likely that he will get the job.
63.F
Being punctual,we can avoid anxiety.Imagine the anxiety if you do not want to be considered unpunctual.You will be anxious if you set out for a dinner late.The person who sets out late might be careless in driving.He will ignore traffic rules.A traffic jam,flat tyres,etc.can delay him further.Happy and calm is the man who takes all these possibilities into consideration and arrives at the appointment either early or on time.
64.C
Many of those who attend dinners are notorious (声名狼藉的)for unpunctuality.They ignore the appointed time and leave their homes only after the fixed time.They are indifferent to the inconvenience caused to others.If the self-centred guest arrives late,the nine others at the table set for ten will have to wait.The host is put in an unpleasant situation and this man seldom thinks of the inconvenience caused to all-the waiters,the management staff,etc.It is necessary for us to think of others and be considerate to them.
65.B
However,we cannot always be intolerant (无法容忍的) of tardiness,for ordinary living requires some tolerance.There can be a busy executive who fights to keep to his schedule.Such a person may be forgiven if he is late,but not those who are deliberately late to create impression.
In modern society,punctuality is a necessary virtue.It is a recognition of the importance of other people.
