A business owner had 23 full-time employees working for her company, many of whom had been there for several years. The business owner noticed that some employees were gaining weight and seemed to move about more slowly than they had in previous years. In an effort to support her employees in improving and maintaining their health, she decided to buy any of them a bicycle if the worker would commit to riding the bicycle as a form of exercise at least 15 miles per week. She sent out a company memo informing her employees of this bonus and fun benefit and asked any workers who were committing to the 15 miles per week bicycling program to meet her at the locally-owned mountain bike shop that Sunday at about 1:00 p.m. One of her newest employees was glad to learn of the 15-miles-per-week bicycling for exercise program because he already biked to and from work daily, barring inclement weather. In fact, it was his example that had influenced and impressed the business owner to institute the new company bicycling program. The following Sunday, the new employee rode his 10-speed bike to the mountain bike shop, arriving at 12:55 p.m. He saw the business owner there and waved hello to her. However, since the business owner was busy talking with several other employees who were also in the shop, the new employee locked up his bicycle and strolled through the shopping center for a few minutes until the other employees had left the store. Once he returned to the mountain bike shop at 1:05 p.m., the new employee asked the business owner for his free bike. The business owner told him that he did not qualify for the free bicycle offer since he already owned a bike and rode it to work. The business owner further stated that since the employee had been late arriving at the bike shop, he did not meet the timing condition of the company offer. In a suit brought by the employee to recover the bonus mountain bike, which party is likely to prevail?
A、(A) The business owner, because there is substantial evidence that her offer did not induce the employee to commit to bicycling at least 15 miles per week for exercise.
B、(B) The business owner, because the employee failed to arrive at the store on time.
C、(C) The employee, under a quasi-contract theory.
D、(D) The employee, because his motives are irrelevant and he arrived at the mountain bike store to get a bike for the company’s exercise program.

Promptness is important in American business, academic, and social settings. The 【59】 of punctuality is taught to young children in school. Tardy slips and the use of bells signal to the child that punctuality and time itself are to be respected. An amusing report of a school child's experience with time 【60】 in a recent newspaper article:
" 【61】 a child, my mother used to tell me 【62】 crucial it was to be at school 【63】 the first bell rang. Preparation for my 'on-time' appearance began the night before. I was directed to go to bed early so I could wake 【64】 wide-eyed at 7 a.m. with enough time to get ready. Although I usually managed to watch my share of TV cortoons, I knew that in one hour I had to get dressed, eat breakfast, 【65】 my teeth, 【66】 my hair, and be on my way to school or I would be violating an important rule of Mom's, the school's or of the world's. It was hard to tell which."
People who keep appointments are 【67】 dependable. If people are late to job interviews, appointments, or classes, they are often viewed 【68】 unreliable and irresponsible. In the business world, "time is money" and companies may fine their executives for tardiness to business meetings. Of course, it is not always possible to be punctual. Social and business etiquette also provides rules for late arrivals. Calling on the telephone if one is going lo be more than a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is considered polite and is often expected. Keeping a date or a friend wailing beyond ten to twenty minutes is considered rude. On the other 【69】 ,arriving thirty minutes 【70】 to some parties is acceptable.

Elian was dragged from the Atlantic on November 25,1999. (30)He had been floating on an inner tube for two days after a smugglers' boat bringing illegal migrants to Florida capsized (翻船). His mother was one of the 11 people who died in the disaster. A custody battle between his father in Cuba and relatives in Miami has been raging in the full glare of the news media. "We do know that the effects of traumatic stress can persist for years," said Alan Delamater, professor of pediatrics and psychology at the University o{ Miami. Elian is especially vulnerable because of his young age and probably does not understand fully what is going on, they said. His Miami relatives did not immediately tell him that(31)US immigration authorities had decided last Wednesday that he should be returned to Cuba. They told him they were playing hide-and-seek with the helicopters that buzzed over his house after the ruling was issued.

A Record-Breaking Rover
NASA&39;s Mars rover Opportunity has boldly gone where no rover has gone before-- at least in terms of distance. Since arriving on the Red Planet in 2004, Opportunity has traveled 25.01 miles, more than any other wheeled vehicle has on another world. On July 27, after years of moving about on Martian ground, the golf-cart:sized Opportunity had driven more than 24 miles, beating the previous record holder--a Soviet rover sent to the moon in 1973.
"This is so remarkable considering Opportunity was intended to drive about 1 kilometer and was never designed for distance," says John Callas, the Mars Exploration Rover Project Manager.
He works at NASA&39;s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "But what is really important is not how many miles the rover has racked up, but how much exploration and discovery we have accomplished over that distance."
Opportunity
The solar-powered Opportunity and its twin rover, Spirit, landed on Mars I0 years ago on a mission expected to last 3 months. The objective of the rovers was to help scientists learn more about the planet and to search for signs of life, such as the possible presence of water.
Spirit stopped communicating with Earth in March 2010, a few months after it got stuck in a sand pit. But Opportunity has continued to collect and analyze Martian soil and rocks.
During its mission, Opportunity has captured, and sent back to Earth, some 187,000 panoramic and microscopic images of Mars with its cameras. It has also provided scientists with data on the planet&39;s atmosphere, soil, rocks, and terrain.
Marathon Rover The rover doesn&39;t seem to be ready to stop just yet. If Opportunity can continue on, it will reach another major investigation site when its odometer hits 26.2 miles. Scientists call this site Marathon Valley, because when the rover reaches the area, it will have traveled the same distance as the length of a marathon since its arrival on Mars.
Researchers believe that clay minerals exposed near Marathon Valley could hold clues to Mars&39;s ancient environment. Opportunity&39;s continuing travels will also help researchers as they plan for an eventual human mission to the Red Planet.
