Our daughter Kerrin, a student at Boston University, had been home for a week-end visit, and I dropped her off at the bus station just in time for her back to college. After Kerrin’s bus had gone and I was driving away, I noticed that she had left her purse on the passenger seat. Worried that she would arrive in Boston without money or keys to her room, I called my wife, Bette Jean, on the car phone, explaining why I would be late. As I was following the bus, Bette Jean phoned me back to say she had phoned the bus dispatcher(调度员)on the other line and he, in return, had phoned the bus driver on yet another phone. The driver asked me to wave out of my window to show where I was. Then he pulled over at a rest stop, and I did the same. Kerrin jumped off the bus, and I handed her the purse and went on my way.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项

When you are waiting in front of a theater or at the train terminals, you will realize how important punctuality is. Punctuality is really a virtue, especially in a busy city.      1.      .

Punctuality is the main constituent(构成部分)of good character.  2.   On the other hand, a person who is always late shows his selfishness and thoughtlessness and he is not worthy to be friends with.

Some people often say that they cannot always be punctual since traffic is so heavy these days.   3.     As everybody knows, we might meet an unexpected jam on the roads, so we should leave a bit earlier for the appointment to ensure that we would not be late.

   4.   . When they finally arrive, they keep on saying sorry to their friends and then explain. The excuse is not always traffic jam. Sometimes they complain that they have met a friend on the road or have helped a blind man to cross the road. Some also like to blame their watches, the clocks at home or in the office. To such people, we cannot help but say sorry that we have come too early.

Yet after all, such smart fellows will soon find that gradually their friends become fewer and fewer. Perhaps at that time, they would realize how important punctuality is.

   5.   . So when we are young, we should try to be punctual every time and never be late, for it is much more easily acquired in youth than when we are older.

A. To be or not to be punctual is a habit.

B. It is polite to be punctual when you are invited to a party.

C. Some people always have a lot of excuses for coming late.

D. I think traffic jam cannot be an excuse for being late.

E. In western countries, punctuality is very important in social life.

F. Perhaps if everybody were punctual, there would be less suffering and sorrow.

G. A person who is always on time for his appointment shows real consideration for others.
