W: Mark really needs to see thisarticle in Psychology Weekly.
M: Why? What's it on?
W: [19]Reasons for negative behavior patterns — likeprocrastination, that is, habitual lateness...
M: You're right. That's Mark. He's never on time. So whatdoes it say?
W: That people who are always late often do it for areason — either conscious or unconscious. It could be an expression of angerand resentment — or a way of resisting authority. It could even be anxiety.
M: Well, I don't know. [20]In Mark's case, I thinkit's because he wants to be noticed.
W: That's the next reason in the article — the need forattention. They give the example of movie stars who used to make these grandentrances.
M: That's not really Mark's style though — he's so quiet.
W: What gets me is that [21]he's late for his friendsall the time — but not for other things, like work.
M: Well... but they might deduct pay for that.
W: Exactly. You know, [22]sometimes I'm tempted totell him to come at, say, seven, and everybody else at 7:15. Thenmaybe we wouldn't have to wait so long.
M: We have to try something. You know, he confessed to meone day that he was even late for his sister's wedding. She was really angry.
W: I remember that. He was not in the wedding — so theycouldn't start until he got there.
M: Maybe you should slip that magazine under hisdoor-anonymously. And hope he gets the message.

The northern parts of the United Statesget very cold in the winter. It snows a great deal and the temperature oftengoes below zero degrees in January, February and March. But [29]thenortheastern and north-central regions of the country have been financial andindustrial centers, and they are heavily populated. In recentyears, [29]people in these regions have begun to take vacationsduring these cold winter months. They go to southern parts ofthe country where it is warmer. Many go to Florida where the weather istropical. Others go to the southwestern states of Arizona, New Mexico and Texaswhere they find dry desert climates. It has become common, nowadays, for olderpeople to move south to these places when they retire. [30]Typicallythese people sell their houses in their home communities and move south tobegin a new life as senior citizens. Their children likelyhave homes of their own, and many of them are moving south away fromcommunities where they were raised. The southern and southwestern parts of thecountry are now growing faster than any other parts. Business and industry haveopened many new offices and factories in the south.
