根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
William Shakespeare once wrote, “Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.” While this may be a stretch, the principle is correct. 1
Throughout your life, you will encounter similar circumstances that require punctuality, such as handing in homework assignments; arriving at school, a job or a meeting; picking up someone from the airport, school, work, etc. avoid embarrassing moments by ridding yourself of any tendency to be late.
Here are some tips:
● Learn to manage your time wisely, which includes setting deadlines. There are a fixed number of minutes in a day---and only one of you. 2
● 3 This ensures they do not assume that you will be available for other projects.
● Procrastination(拖延) is a thief of time---avoid it at all costs! This includes waiting until the last second to start a task simply because you find it unpleasant.
4 Worrying about it will not accomplish anything!
● Before agreeing on a particular time for something, think about other events that might interfere.
● Try counting back from the scheduled time to figure out when you should begin getting ready. 5 For example, if you are scheduled to be at work at 9:00 a.m., a 30-minute car ride makes it 8:30, 15 minutes to eat breakfast makes it 8:15, and 30 minutes for grooming(洗刷) makes it 7:45, and so on. A．If a task is difficult, do it first.B．It is always better to be early rather than late.C．Make sure others are aware of your deadlines.D．A few minutes delay may not be a serious matter.E. Moreover, habitual unpunctuality leads to indolence (懒散) and even failure in life.
F. Do not worry about the particular order of events; just assign(分配) time values to each.
G. Taking on too many responsibilities means that something will not be finished on time.B

(答案→)B 解析：【小题1】从前面的句子：Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.可知早比迟好。选B【小题2】从后面的句子：There are a fixed number of minutes in a day---and only one of you.可知一次的任务太多可能导致事情不能如期完成。选G【小题3】从后面的句子：This ensures they do not assume that you will be available for other projects. 可知要让别人知道你的截至日期。选C【小题4】从后面的句子：Worrying about it will not accomplish anything!可知如果一个任务很难就先做。选A。【小题5】从后面的举例：For example, if you are scheduled to be at work at 9:00 a.m., a 30-minute car ride makes it 8:30, 15 minutes to eat breakfast makes it 8:15, and 30 minutes for grooming(洗刷) makes it 7:45, and so on.说明每个事情分配好时间就行。选F
