(C)
Punctuality does not mean exactly the same thing everywhere. Mr. Gao learned this while helping foreign guests at a small travel office. A Swiss engineer arrived fifteen minutes early for a ferry booking. A Mexican designer came nearly forty minutes late for an evening meal and still smiled calmly.
At first, Mr. Gao felt confused. Then he read notes about local time habits. In some places, arriving early shows respect for strict schedules. In others, dinner time is more relaxed because the host may still be preparing food. Mr. Gao did not use this as an excuse for being careless. Instead, he began to explain times more clearly.
Now his messages include three parts: meeting time, latest arrival time and local tip. For a 6:00 ferry, he writes, “Please arrive by 5:45.” For a social dinner, he adds, “The host will be ready after 7:30.” Guests make fewer mistakes, and Mr. Gao feels less stressed. He says understanding local time is like reading a map before walking into a new office nearby. This saves guests from waiting at the wrong door again later.
36. Where does Mr. Gao work?
A. At a travel office.
B. In a bakery.
C. At a repair shop.
D. In a hospital.
37. Who arrived early for a ferry booking?
A. A Mexican designer.
B. A Swiss engineer.
C. A local host.
D. A young cook.
38. Why may dinner time be relaxed in some places?
A. The host may still be preparing food.
B. The ferry always leaves late.
C. Guests dislike meals.
D. Clocks do not work there.
39. What does Mr. Gao include in his messages now?
A. Prices, photos and jokes.
B. Names, colours and seats.
C. Meeting time, latest arrival time and local tip.
D. Weather, soup and tickets.
40. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Travel offices should close early.
B. Every country has the same time rule.
C. Swiss engineers dislike ferries.
D. Knowing local time habits avoids problems.

At Xinghe Elder Care Centre, nurse Zhao keeps a board for medicine rounds. The centre is small, but mornings are full of tasks: checking temperatures, giving pills, answering family calls and helping people walk to breakfast. Zhao once tried to remember everything in her head. By ten, she felt tired and worried that she might miss something.
The head nurse taught her to use four boxes. The first box was for urgent and important work, such as medicine before meals. The second was for important but not urgent work, such as calling families back. The third was for small tasks that another worker could help with. The last was for things that should wait, like reading non-work messages. She did not add more boxes because too many boxes would slow her down.
One morning, Mr. Deng said his chest felt tight. At the same time, a phone kept ringing and breakfast carts arrived. Zhao looked at the board and acted quickly. She asked a helper to answer the phone, called the doctor, and stayed with Mr. Deng. Later, she returned the family call and checked the breakfast list. Nothing was forgotten. Zhao wrote after work, “Time management is care management here.” A clear order can make busy service safer and warmer today each day.

A. Remember everything in her head.
B. Close the care centre.

D. Sell medicine outside.
42. Which work is urgent and important in the passage?
A. Reading messages.
B. Medicine before meals.

B. The wall was too dirty.
C. Families disliked boards.
D. Doctors took the cards away.
44. What did Zhao do when Mr. Deng felt chest tightness?
A. She waited until breakfast ended.
B. She asked a helper and called the doctor.
C. She read non-work messages.
D. She left him near the gate.
45. What does the passage mainly show?

Last month, I almost missed a homework deadline because I watched videos for too long. I felt nervous that night. Now I make a to-do list before dinner. I put important work first and set aside ten minutes for a break. When I finish one item, I tick it off. This method helps me use time better. I wish I had started it earlier.
【词汇积累】miss a deadline 错过截止日期;set aside 留出;tick off 勾掉;use time better 更好地利用时间。
【句式拓展】I wish I had... 我希望我早已……;When I finish..., I... 当我完成……时,我……。

At first, Mr. Gao felt confused. Then he read notes about local time habits. In some places, arriving early shows respect for strict schedules. In others, dinner time is more relaxed because the host may still be preparing food. Mr. Gao did not use this as an excuse for being careless. Instead, he began to explain times more clearly.
Now his messages include three parts: meeting time, latest arrival time and local tip. For a 6:00 ferry, he writes, “Please arrive by 5:45.” For a social dinner, he adds, “The host will be ready after 7:30.” Guests make fewer mistakes, and Mr. Gao feels less stressed. He says understanding local time is like reading a map before walking into a new office nearby. This saves guests from waiting at the wrong door again later.

(D)
At Xinghe Elder Care Centre, nurse Zhao keeps a board for medicine rounds. The centre is small, but mornings are full of tasks: checking temperatures, giving pills, answering family calls and helping people walk to breakfast. Zhao once tried to remember everything in her head. By ten, she felt tired and worried that she might miss something.
The head nurse taught her to use four boxes. The first box was for urgent and important work, such as medicine before meals. The second was for important but not urgent work, such as calling families back. The third was for small tasks that another worker could help with. The last was for things that should wait, like reading non-work messages. She did not add more boxes because too many boxes would slow her down.
One morning, Mr. Deng said his chest felt tight. At the same time, a phone kept ringing and breakfast carts arrived. Zhao looked at the board and acted quickly. She asked a helper to answer the phone, called the doctor, and stayed with Mr. Deng. Later, she returned the family call and checked the breakfast list. Nothing was forgotten. Zhao wrote after work, “Time management is care management here.” A clear order can make busy service safer and warmer today each day.
