摘要：6] THE VALUE OF TIME 爱惜时光An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time . For this reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than money. Many people do not know the value of time. It is indeed a great pity. We must bear in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.英国有句谚语说.时间就是金钱.我认为这是不对的.为什么?因为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱.但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来.基于此种理由.我们可以说时间比钱钱更宝贵. 许多人不知爱惜时光.这确实是可惜的.我们必须记住浪费时间等于浪费生命.

I decided to try．Each day I would find one thing I liked in 7 and mentioned it to him．The first day, again, appeared the greatest problem．I noticed 8 things I didn’t like about Val．Why did he leave his books everywhere in his study instead of putting them 9 ?How could he wear that 10 shirt again?And I had a difficult time 11 with anything good I could mention．
I thought and thought． 12 he was good sometimes．When something needed repair around the house, Val 13 until he discovered what was wrong．
14 , I told Val I was glad he was patient with my faults and said 15 about the way I often scold him．He smiled a small, weak smile that made me 16 ,“Maybe this isn’t going to work．”I said to myself．But as three weeks continued, finding something good about my husband came 17 ．He deals honestly with everyone; he treats our children with 18 ．Why had I seen so many unpleasant things?
By the end of the 21 days, I couldn’t believe how easy 19 had become to praise Val．And Val did seem 20 ．In fact, he mentioned that I seemed to have changed a lot．
