网考网解析：
这是一道判断是非的题型。从第二段最后两句话可以看出，选项A，“美国学生和巴西学生在午餐约会时通常会迟到”符合文义。最后一段中提到“Classes no! onlvbegin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time.”，可见"选项B，“在美国，要在规定的时间上下课”符合文义。文中最后一段结尾处讲到“在巴西，很少学生会在12点离开教室，很多人会留下一直到12点半以后来讨论课程、问问题。在巴西，迟到和晚走都不重要。”可见，选项C，“巴西老师不介意在下课后留下”也符合文义，因此答案为D。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
