Please listen to the following passage and fill in the blanks.[音频]As the saying goes, ‘time waits for no man’. Time is always against us, and we just can’t stop it. Maybe that’s why some of us are always running late for 1 . But if 2 is not what you’re good at, don’t stress. There might be a good reason for your 3 of 4.People’s attitudes to being on time 5. Some clock-watch and make sure they’re bang on time for a meeting. It is, after all, rude to be late, and if you can make it on time, why can’t everyone else? But if, like me, you want to make every second 6, you might try to 7 as much as you can into the time you have 8. However, when your 9 doesn’t run to plan, your punctuality 10 slips.People who lack 11 have been described as ‘time benders’. Author Grace Pacie told the BBC that “they’re the people who don’t want to be late, but they have a strange 12 to being early, and they don’t allow enough time.” They 13 their journey to an appointment will always go 14, and the train will always be on time!15 of unpunctual people are almost always 16 – even if sometimes wrong. Writing for the BBC, Laura Clarke says: “Being 17 late might not be your 18. It could be your type. The punctually- 19 often share personality characteristics, such as optimism, low levels of self-control, anxiety, or a penchant for thrill-seeking, experts say. It is also possible people are late so not to be conspicuous and to avoid the anxious wait for others to turn up.Maybe us latecomers should make more of an effort and follow the advice I heard to not ‘try’ to be on time but ‘decide’ to be on time. But I know if a meeting or a deadline really matters, then I’ll be there. Otherwise relax, even if others are 20 you!
