问题     In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not【C1】______regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days【C2】______the party date.
    【C3】______this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in【C4】______because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be【C5】______
    The【C6】______of time differ in different parts of the world【C7】______misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that【C8】______time differently.
    Promptness is much【C9】______in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully【C10】______. In the U.S. no one would think of【C11】______a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite.
    When【C12】______meet, a person who is five minutes late is【C13】______to make a short apology.
    If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of【C14】______, though perhaps he will not【C15】______the sentence.
    To Americans, forty minutes of waiting is the【C16】______of the "insult period". No matter 【C17】______is said in apology, there is little that can remove the【C18】______done by an hour’s wait.
    【C19】______in some other countries, a forty minute waiting period was not unusual. Instead of being the very end of the【C20】______waiting scale, it was just the beginning.
【C11】
选项 A、retaining
B、preventing
C、getting
D、keeping
答案D
解析 四个选项为retaining(保持；保留)，preventing(防止；阻止)，getting(使…发生；开始)，keep(保持)，与后面的somebody doing形式搭配。句子的意思是“在美国没有人会想到让一个商业伙伴等待超过一小时。”用keepsomebody doing something含义为“使某人一直…”，所以选B。
