??????? ????Punctuality is a necessary habit in all public affairs in civilized society. Without it, nothing could ever be brought to a conclusion; everything would be in state of chaos. Only in a sparsely-populated rural community is it possible to disregard it. In ordinary living, there can be some tolerance of unpunctuality. The intellectual, who is working on some abstruse problem, has everything coordinated and organized for the matter in hand. He is therefore forgiven if late for a dinner party. But people are often reproached for unpunctuality when their only fault is cutting things fine. It is hard for energetic, quick-minded people to waste time, so they are often tempted to finish a job before setting out to keep an appointment. If no accidents occur on the way, like punctured tires, diversions of traffic, sudden descent of fog, they will be on time. They are often more industrious, useful citizens than those who are never late. The over-punctual can be as much a trial to others as the unpunctual. The guest who arrives half an hour too soon is the greatest nuisance. Some friends of my family had this irritating habit. The only thing to do was ask them to come half an hour later than the other guests. Then they arrived just when we wanted them. ????If you are citing a train, it is always better to be comfortably early than even a fraction of a minted too late. Although being early may mean wasting a little time, this will be less than if you miss the train and have to wait an hour or more for the next one; and you avoid the frustration of arriving at the very moment when the train is drawing out of the station and being unable to get on it. An even harder situation is to be on the platform in good time for a train and still to see it go off without you. Such an experience befell a certain young girl the first time she was traveling alone. ????She entered the station twenty minutes before the train was due, since her parents had impressed upon her that it would be unforgivable to miss it and cause the friends with whom she was going to stay to make two journeys to meet her. She gave her luggage to a porter and showed him her ticket. To her horror he said that she was two hours too soon. She felt in her handbag for the piece of paper on which her father had written down all the details of the journey and gave it to the porter. He agreed that a train did come into the station at the time on the paper and that it did stop, but only to take on mail, not passengers. The girl asked to see a timetable, feeling sure that her father could not have made such a mistake. The porter went to fetch one and arrive back with the station master, who produced it with a flourish and pointed out a microscopic "o" beside the time of the arrival of the train at his station; this little "o" indicated that the train only stopped for mail. Just as that moment the train came into the station. The girl, tears streaming down her face, begged to be allowed to slip into the guard"s van. But the station master was adamant: rules could not be broken and she had to watch that train disappear towards her destination while she was left behind. ????????????? ????????????????н???????罻??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????壬??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????о????????ж?Э????￡???????????????????????????????????Щ????????????????????￡??????????????????????桢???????????????????????????????????????o????????????·????з????籬????????????????????1???????????????????????Щ?????????????????????????????????絽????????????????????????????????С?????????????????????м??????????????????????????Ψ??????????????????????????С?????????????????????????????????? ?????????????絽??????????????絽??????á?????絽??????ζ??????????????????????????????С????°?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????е???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????С???????ε??????????????????????? ??????????20????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????y????????????????????????????????????????????????????????絽??????С????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????ū????????????????????????????????????????????????????????г???????????????С?????????????????г??????????????????????????????????????????棬????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????? ????punctuality n. ?? ????rural adv. ???? ????disregard v. ????????? ????intellectual n. ?????? ????abstruse adj. ??μ? ????coordinate v.

It is useless to argue with the mind in this condition. The stronger the will, the more futile the task. One can only gently insinuate something else into its convulsive grasp. And if this something else is rightly chosen, if it really attended by the illumination of another field of interest, gradually, and often quite swiftly, the old undue grip relaxes and the process of recuperation and repair begins. ????The cultivation of a hobby and new forms of interest is therefore a policy of the first importance to a public man. But this is not a business that can be undertaken in a day or swiftly improvised by a mere command of the will. The growth of alternative mental interests is a long process. The seeds must be carefully chosen; they must fall on good ground; they must be sedulously tended, if the vivifying fruits are to be at hand when needed. ????To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: "I will take an interest in this or that." Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet get hardly any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual labourer, tired out with a hard week"s sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball or Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend. ????As for the unfortunate people who can command everything they want, who can gratify every caprice and lay their hands on almost every object of desire -- for them a new pleasure, a new excitement if only an additional satiation. In vain they rush frantically round from place to place, trying to escape from avenging boredom by mere clatter and motion. For them discipline in one form or another is the most hopeful path. ????It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human being are divided into two classes: first,those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly those whose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But Fortune"s favoured children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays, when they come, are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation. Yet to both classes, the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those work is their pleasure are those who and most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds. ????WINSTON CHURCHLL Painting as a Pastime ??????New words and expressions ???????? ????gifted adj. ?????? ????psychologist n. ??????? ????spasm n. ???(????)???? ????futile adj. ????? ????insinuate v. ???????? ????convulsive adj. ???ε? ????illumination n. ????????? ????undue adj. ?????? ????grip n. ???? ????recuperation n. ??? ????improvise v. ??????? ????sedulously adv. ???β???? ????vivify v. ????????? ????aggravate v. ??? ????trifling adj. ?С?? ????gratify v. ?????? ????caprice n. ???? ????satiation n. ???? ????frantically adv. ????? ????avenge v. ?桭???? ????boredom n. ?? ????clatter n. ???????? ????sustenance n. ???? ????appetite n. ???? ????grudge v. ??? ????absorbing adj. ????????? ????banish v. ????????? ?????????????? ????1.catch hold of ?????? ????let ... go ?????? ????2.The stronger the will, the more futile the task ???????????????????????????? ????futile adj.????? ????????Pace considers attempts at timing futile. ????????????????????????Ч??? ????It is futile to attempt to convince him that certain things are simply undoable. ??????????????????????????????????????? ????3.insinuate v.??????? ????????
