W: Mark really needs to see this article in Psychology Weekly.
M: Why? What’s it on?
W: Reasons for negative behavior patterns—like procrastination, habitual lateness...
M: You’re right. That’s Mark. He’s never on time. So what does it say?
W: That people who are always late often do it for a reason--either conscious or unconscious. It could be an expression of anger and resentment—or a way of resisting authority. It could even be anxiety.
M: Well, I don’t know. In Mark’s case, I think it’s because he wants to be noticed.
W: That’s the next reason in the article—the need for attention. They give the example of movie stars who used to make these grand entrances.
M: That’s not really Mark’s style though—he’s so quiet.
W: What gets me is that he’s late for his friends all the time—but not for other things, like work.
M: Well... but they might deduct pay for that.
W: Exactly. You know, sometimes I’m tempted to tell him to come at, say, seven, and everybody else at 7.15. Then maybe we wouldn’t have to wait so long.
M: We have to try something. You know, he confessed to me one day that he was even late for his sister’s wedding. She was really angry.
W: I remember that. He was in the wedding--so they couldn’t start until he got there.
M: Maybe you should slip that magazine under his door anonymously. And hope he gets the message.
选项
A、He’s late for social occasions but not for work.
B、He’s a quiet person but likes to make grand entrances.
C、He expects others to be on time but is usually late himself.
D、He loses pay for being late to work but doesn’t seem to mind.
答案
A
解析
“get”在这里的意思是指“使生气”。W说,让她生气的是,Mark迟到的对象总是朋友们,而像工作之类的事情却不会迟到。与之意思相符的是选项A。
