Schedules, as the 21st century people know, simply did not exist in the 17th and 18th centuries. We are upset if a plane arrives an hour late. Our ancestors weren’t upset if an April ship didn’t show up until June. They began to worry in July and were often happy when it showed up in August. When a long-distance ship finally did get to the port, the whole city became busy and excited. Businessmen hurried down to check the goods they had ordered. The ship would probably stay in port for at least three days, often a week, to take on businessmen, give the sailors a rest, find out about the latest news, weather conditions, and so on.
Travel time could only be approximate. One never knew when the winds would be good. So even though “average sailing time” was given, time could change considerably, shortening the voyage by up to 25% or putting it off by up to 500% or more! The average run from England to Boston was about a month and a half, but there were also voyages of three months. One voyage in 1640 lasted six months!
Travel time is not the same in both directions, due to the winds and currents. This is especially true in the Caribbean, where winds are from the southeast the entire year. Ships sailing west across the Atlantic spend longer than ships sailing east, and the contrary winds can prevent a ship from actually making it to the harbor even if it gets close. One ship was held off the North Carolina coast for 17 days before being able to land!
1. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. No sailor was allowed to have fun when the ship reached land.
B. People in ancient times didn’t care about other people’s safety.
C. The ship would leave for a voyage when all of the preparations were made.
D. A long-distance ship would create a lot of excitement in the place where it landed.
2. According to the passage, travel time can’t be fixed due to ___________ .
A. the people at the port B. average sailing time
C. the changeable climate D. the businessmen and the sailors
3. The underlined word “cu rrents” in the third paragraph means __________ .
A. the movement of water B. the movement of winds
C. direction of the traveling ship D. travel time of ships

好像是说三个医生从上午8点开始schedule appointment(安排预约?),问在下午1点半之前,哪个时间,三人又在同一时间开始schedule.
8点开始,到1点半,共330分钟
1个30分钟,1个25分钟,1个50分钟,也就是找30,25,50小于330的公倍数
有150,300,分别是10:30,下午1点.
以上仅是个人见解.

[1] Busy work schedules are creating a generation of “ Maybe Later” children. Thought those children are the most important to their parents, they are too busy with their work to spare time for them.
[2] In a study, working parents spend less than an hour a day with their children. Almost eight out of ten children said they hated being parked in front of the television instead of being entertained and 60 percent said they wished their parents worked less and had more time to play with them.
[3] The generation of “ Maybe Later” kids shows a worrying trend of parents not spending as much time as they should with their children. Parents admit their children aren’t getting enough of their attention, and children are also feeling the effect of this, longing fro their parents to spend more time with them.
[4] “We live in ever busier times with many parents taking work home with them, but it seems this is having a negative effect on the relationship they have with their children,” Dr James Carnd said, “ Trying to balance work an home life can be difficult, but parents need to remember that playing with your kids is a great way to relieve stress.”
[5] The research also found that on top of a normal working week, tired parents check their emails as soon as they get home at least four nights a week. And at least one of the two parents misses dinner twice a week because they work late. When they’re at home, they spend much of their spare time cooking and cleaning______ playing with their children .And more than half parents often find themselves promising to play with their children after they’ve finished work, checked their emails or completed housework.
小题1:What children are called “ Maybe Later” children ? (no more than 10 words)

小题2:What has a negative effect on the relationship between parents their children? (no more than 6 words)

小题3:What benefit can parents get from playing with their children according to what Dr James Carnd said? (no more than 6 words)

小题4:Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words. (no more than 4 words)

小题5:Write a sentence of wish to parents in the name of a “ Maybe Later ” child. (no more than 15 words)

楼主,请看以下,需要说明几点:
document在外贸中是单证的意思,如果不是在外贸中,则是文件的意思.
in question是谈论的意思.
说明细节安排遍及全文,可参考其他章节,这样的所有参考细节只是为了便于使用那些文件的.就采购商的意见而言,除了其他每个章之外,不全的参考细节可能对有关要点正在讨论中.总的来说,它的目的在于合同文件应该能让人阅读以及被应用.
