The idea of what is early and what is late differs from culture to culture. If an American from the North makes an appointment with someone in a office, such as a professor, a manager or an official, for 11:00 a. m. , he will probably arrive at the office earlier —maybe about five minutes before eleven. He will tell the secretary that he has arrived for the 11:00 appointment, and will wait. The American will wait comfortably for five minutes. But after ten minutes, he will become uncomfortable and a little annoyed. On the other hand, if a Latin American makes an appointment with someone for 11: 00 a. m. , he may not arrive in the office until 11:15 or 11:20. He will not be surprised if he has to wait until 11:45.
选项
答案 earlier
解析 破折号后面说也许是差五分就十一点，而约好的时间是十一点整，由此可知他到办公室的时间应该比约定时间稍早一点。注意前后两分句含有比较意义，结合录音应填入副词比较级earlier。
