Nowadays, many people in China are racing against time. They put a lot of value in "being on time" because they think it is important to be on time. However, in some other countries of theworld, people have different opinions on "being on time"
Germany
Thanks to its industrial (工业的) past, in Germany you are expected to arrive at least ten minutes earlier for any planned meeting.
In Germany, being on time is risky (有风险的) enough because your hosts will probably already be there waiting, wondering how on earth you could be so stupid. What will you do if anything unexpected happens, like heavy traffic or a sudden rain? So, remember to arrive early in Germany.
Saudi Arabia
Some countries care little about time and Saudi Arabia is one of them, It's because of their long history of desert living where time is not the first thing to think about. It could be that it's too hot to do anything on time. So don't expect them to be on time. Moreover, looking at your watch during an event is even considered as bad manners. So don't get angry with them, either.
Ghana
Most meeting times can be changed, even if an exact time is given, Ghanaians are very relaxed and easygoing. They think that if everyone is late, then no one is late. After all, what can't be done today can get done tomorrow. If you find it difficult to deal with, prepare to be unhappy.Otherwise, sit back to enjoy the ride.
Education is not just about going to school. It's also about what you learn and experience outside of school. So family and community play a great role.
In January, 13 agencies(部门) — including the Ministry of Education — released a guideline to improve the school-family-community cooperative education mechanism(学校家庭社会协同育人机制). It clarifies the roles and responsibilities of school, family and community and how they work together to educate children.
"The goal of the guideline is to give full play to the advantages of each party and promote the all-round development of students.s Zhang Zhiyong, a professor at Beijing Normal University, told
China Education Daily.
According to the guideline, schools play a leading role in cooperative education. They should keep close contact with parents. Paying a home visit and offering family education guidance regularly are made a must. Parents should play a role in family education. Besides traditional education, they are encouraged to lead their kids to take part in activities like volunteering and doing sports. The community is expected to provide support and service to students. All kinds of education bases and museums, for example, should be free or preferential(优惠的) to students.
Gao Wei, 43, a mother of a 14-year-old from Beijing, is excited about the guideline. "Strengthening(加强) the connection between the school and parents is not a new thing. But the guideline tells us how to make it happen," she said. "Another good point is that it asks the community to open more social resources to students. Nowadays, many students only focus on studying. With such support, they can learn more from real life."

Everyone procrastinates(拖延) because they want to feel good now. . You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. "Some people procrastinate cleaning. Some people procrastinate by cleaning," says Professor Peter Stone. Research has shown that the top tasks that young people procrastinate are studying and going to bed. "The most important cause for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure, of not meeting others' expectations(期待)," Stone adds.
. They think they could do things better. But researchers disagree. "I did a study several years ago, asking procrastinators to finish a task in a certain period of time," says Stone. "They did worse than non-procrastinators (people who don't procrastinate): they made more mistakes, and they took longer. ." No matter what the cause is, procrastination is not going to be good for you. For example, bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness, which in turn can cause many other health problems.
For those who need some drives to stop procrastinating, the best advice might be to take action first. If you've been procrastinating on exercise, just put on your walking shoes. . Next, find something to help you remember to take action. If you want to go to bed at 10:30 p.m., you might set a timed dimmer switch(渐暗开关) at 10 p.m. When the lights are dimmer, you'll start going to bed. It works for most people. Finally, reward yourself every time you make progress. For example, after you've run 3 km, enjoy your favorite ice-cream. But be careful: it won't work the other way around.
A. A little bit of progress will get you moving. B. Actually, they did better than before. C. But they thought they did better. D. Some people usually feel confident about procrastination. E. The way to do that is to avoid the task. |
