读文谈感受

读下面关于时间的小资料，然后谈一谈自己的感受。

　　A punctual(守时的) person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.

　　The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. There is a proverb(谚语) which says, "Time flies never to be recalled(召回)." This is very true. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact time is life itself, and the unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset(财产) as well as others'. The unpunctual man is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through his immense amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every appointment promptly and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended to.

　　如果你乘船横渡太平洋，你就会越过国际日期变更线。根据协议，这是新一天开始的地方。你越过该线，就得把你的日历向后或向前改动一整天。向东行，今天变成了昨天；向西行，今天变成了明天！

参考答案：

　　Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zon
