问题     Punctuality (准时) means observing regular or appointed
time. A man who gets up at seven o’clock every morning is
punctual. A man who has permitted to call on a friend at             【S1】______
five o’clock in the afternoon and actually does such at that hour    【S2】______
is also punctual.
    Punctuality is a good habit, and unpunctuality is a bad
one. A few minutes delay may not be a serious matter.                【S3】______
But it may have bad results. Getting up five minutes
later than usually may upset the plan of the day.                    【S4】______
Call on a friend five minutes later than the appointed time may      【S5】______
cause him some unexpected trouble. Nevertheless, habitual            【S6】______
unpunctuality leads to indolence (懒惰) and even failure in life.
One delay after another makes a man unable to exert himself. It
also proves him be untrustworthy.                                    【S7】______
    Those who are unpunctual should try their best to get rid
from their bad habit. In doing this, they should avoid making        【S8】______
any kind of exception. They should ever say to themselves: "A        【S9】______
few minutes’ delay does not matter this time. I shall never be
unpunctual again." Those who think in this way will find excuses
for delay from time to time, and will at least give up the attempt
cultivating the good habit of punctuality. Like all other good       【S10】______
habits, punctuality becomes second nature with those who
have duly cultivated it. [br] 【S9】
选项
答案 ever→never
解析 本句属于篇章理解方面的错误。上文说“他们应该避免有任何例外”，下文说“这样想的人总会为他们的迟到找借口”，因而此句作者要表达的意思是“他们不应该这样对自己说……”。因此，根据上下文，此句应是否定句，要把ever改成 never。
