[10:33.50]Alan carefully removed one of the insect's legs.
[10:38.59]Then he leaned down and once again screamed"JUMP!"
[10:44.28]The grasshopper responded as before.
[10:48.99]Alan repeated this process four more times.
[10:54.18]Each time removing one of the grass-hopper's legs.
[10:58.99]Each time,the grasshopper leapt into the air,
[11:04.79]although each leap was less impressive than the one before.
[11:10.48]Finally,Alan removed the last leg.
[11:15.29]Then he leaned down and screamed one more time.
[11:20.78]The grasshopper didn't move.
[11:24.49]Satisfied,Alan opened his journal
[11:29.19]and entered the results of his experiment.
[11:33.68]As his conclusion,he wrote,"When all six legs have been removed,
[11:40.29]the grasshopper becomes deaf."
[11:45.49]Alan,a budding research scientist in junior high school,
[11:52.10]was conducting an experiment on a grasshopper for his biology class.
[11:58.18]He put the grass-hopper on a table,
[12:02.29]leaned down until his face was inches away from the insect,
[12:07.38]and screamed,"JUMP!"
[12:10.75]The grasshopper leapt into the air.
[12:15.24]Alan carefully removed one of the insect's legs.

[12:31.10]Alan repeated this process for more times,
[12:36.19]Each time removing one of the grass-hopper's legs.

[15:04.41]4.3 Note-Taking    2 Now listen to the passage,
[15:14.63]and this time complete the chart with the ideas you hear on the tape.
[15:21.03]A punctual person is in the habit of doing something at the proper time
[15:28.13]and is never late in keeping an appointment.
[15:32.73]The unpunctual man,on the other hand,
[15:37.72]does not do what he has to do at the proper time.
[15:43.31]He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name.
[15:51.69]There is a proverb which says,"Time flies never to be recalled."
[15:59.19]A lost thing may be found again,but lost time can never be regained.
[16:07.00]Time is more precious than material things.
[16:12.20]In fact,time is life itself,and the unpunctual man
[16:20.09]is forever wasting his most valuable property as well as others'.
[16:26.78]Moreover,failure to be punctual can be extremely harmful
[16:34.17]when it comes to doing one's duty.
[16:38.77]Imagine how it would be if those who are trusted with important tasks
[16:46.08]failed to be at the proper place at the appointed time.
[16:52.27]Therefore,a man who is habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends.
[17:00.68]He is often a source of trouble to others and to himself.
