问题     Promptness is important in American business, academic, and social settings. The importance of punctuality is taught to young children in school. Tardy slips and the use of bells signal to the child that punctuality and time itself are to be respected.
    People who keep appointments are considered dependable. If people are late to job interviews, appointments, or classes, they are often viewed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business world, "time is money" and companies may fine their executives for tardiness to business meetings. Of course, it is not always possible to be punctual. Social and business etiquette also provides rules for late arrivals. Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is considered polite and is often expected. Keeping a date of a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minutes is considered rude. On the other hand, arriving thirty minutes late to some parties is acceptable.
Children in America are taught to______.
选项 A、be on time when doing things
B、respect their teachers
C、take their time when doing things
D、respect their time
答案A
解析 本题的依据出现在短文的第1段中。being on time=punctuality；take one’s time意思是“慢慢做，不着急”；B选项短文中没有谈到；D选项的问题在于多用了一个词their，去掉这个词，此选项才能算对。
