The official name of the strange animal is the American Bison.However, nearly everyone calls it a buffalo.
In the early days, millions of buffalo moved freely across the continent.They were powerful animals and ran with great speed.The Indians hunted them for food and clothing.
In the 19th century, white men hunted the bison for their skins.They seldom killed the bison for meat.One famous frontiersman, however, Buffalo Bill Cody hunted buffalo for meat.The railroads used the meat to feed their workers.
The American buffalo could run at a speed of almost 75 kilometers an hour.He was difficult to hurt because he was always for a fight.There were times when five or six bullets would not kill him, and buffalo hunters sometimes had a lot of trouble killing the animal.The buffaloes were hard to control and the hunters would get confused or feel helpless.Finally, in the west the expression, to buffalo, came to mean to make one helpless or to confuse and trick.

The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university class. He found that if they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. However, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.
In an American university, classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12: 00; many remained past 12: 30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.
The word "punctual' most probably means______.
A.leaving soon after class
B.coming early
C.arriving a few minutes late
D.being on time
