　　In Western countries punctuality is very important．

　　In the business world, people often have very busy timetables．They may have something planned for every hour of the working day．This means that meetings are sometimes set up months before．

　　If a seller has agreed to meet a buyer at a given time, he or she will want the seller to be there at that time．If the person shows up late, there may be a problem．The buyer may not want to do business because of the lateness．

　　If a person is late it says he and his company aren't reliable(可靠的)．If a meeting has to be put off, then the person who is being met should be told quickly．It is also expected that friends will turn up on time for meetings with each other．It is thought rude to be late．If two friends plan to meet in a cafe, and one of them is very late, the other may be upset．To leave friends sitting on their own, with nothing to do, may embarrass(使尷尬)them．It says to them that their friend doesn't really care about them．

　　At other times rules are more relaxed．In Britain, for example, if someone throws a party on a Saturday evening, many people will be asked to come．The host may say that the party will last“from 8 till late”．That is, it may go on for a long time．It will be all right for a person to arrive at some time during the party．They don't need to come promptly(迅速的)at 8 o'clock．

　　As Junior 3 students, we are busy studying for the coming entrance exam．Every day we have lots of exercises to do and many exams to take．Some of us feel upset, and some even lose heart．

　　But we will not help ourselves if we lose heart．There is a saying,“Difficulty is like a spring(彈簧)．If you are weak, it will be strong．”If we have a problem we should face it with a smile．

　　Don't give up

　　Once Ⅰ read a short story called The Smile, written by a French writer．In this book, he talks about his own experience in World War Ⅱ．As a pilot, he tried his best to fight for his country．The enemy caught him and sent him into jail(監(jiān)獄)unluckily．But he tried to think of ways to escape(逃脫)．

　　One day he wanted to smoke but he had no matches．He asked his jailor(獄卒)for a light．When the jailor came up to him, he smiled politely and naturally．The jailor seemed to be affected and smiled too．

　　Then they began to talk．They both took out pictures of their families and showed them to each other．The pilot said sadly that he would never see his family again because he was to be killed．他將沒有機(jī)會看到他的孩子們長大。

　　The jailor was moved by the pilot's words．Without saying a word he unlocked the cell(牢房)and quietly released him．As a result of a smile, the pilot was saved．

　　Let children learn to judge their own work．A child learning to talk does not learn by being correct-ed all the time：if corrected too much, he will stop talking．He noticed a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use．Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's．In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, ride a bicycle．But in school we never give a child to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself．We do it all for him．We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to．Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not．

　　If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in maths or science, give him the answer book．Let him correct his own papers．Why should our teachers waste time on much routine(日常的)work?Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer．Let the children learn what all educated person must some day learn, how to measure their own under-standing, how to know what they know or do not know．
