  PASSAGE 3

  Promptness is important in American business, academic,

  and social settings. The importance of punctuality

  is taug_ ht to young children in school. Tardy slops and

  the use of bells sig_ nal 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 vie_ wed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business

  world, "time is money" and companies may fine

  their executives for tardiness to busi_ ness 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 minute_ s late for schedule appointments is

  considered polite and is often ex_ pected. Keeping

  a date of a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minute_ s is

  considered rude. On the other hand, arriving thirty

  minutes late to some parties is acceptable. Respecting

  deadlines is also important in academic and professional

  ci_ rcles. It is expected that deadlines for class assignments

  or business reports will be met. Students who hand in

  assignments late may be surp_ rised to find that the

  professor will lower their grades or even refus_ e to

  grade their work. Whether it is a question of arriving

  on time or of meeting a deadline, people are culturally

  conditioned to regulate t_ ime.

  PASSAGE 4

  Urban life has always involved a balancing

  of opportunities and rewards against dangers

  and stress; its motivating force is, in the

  broadest s_ ense, money. Opportunities to make

  money mean competition and competit_ ion is

  stressful; it is often at its most intense in the

  largest cities , where opportunities are greatest.

  The presence of huge numbers of pe_ ople inevitable

  involves more conflict, more traveling, the

  overloading of public services and exposure to

  those deviants and criminals who are drawn

  to the rich pickings of great cities. Crime has

  always flourished in the relative anonymity

  of urban life, but today’s ease of movement

  makes its control more

  difficult than ever; there is much evidence

  that its extent has a direct relationship to

  the size of communities. City dwellers may

  become trapped in their homes by the fear

  of crime around them. As a defense against

  these developments city dwellers tend to

  use vari_ ous strategies to try and reduce

  the pressures upon themselves: contac_ ts

  with other people are generally made brief

  and impersonal; doors are kept locked;

  telephone numbers may be ex-directory;

  journeys outside th_ e home are

  usually hurried, rather than a source of

  pleasure. There are other strategies too,

  which are positively harmful to the individual; f_

  or example, reducing awareness through drugs or

  alcohol. Furthermore, a_ ll these defensive forms

  of behavior are harmful to society in general; they

  cause widespread loneliness and destroy the community’s concern for its members. Lack of informal social

  contact and indifference to the mi_ sfortunes

  of others, if they are not personally known to

  oneself, are a_ mongst the major causes of urban crime.
