Chinese idioms are rich and they are still 【小题1】（wide）used in Chinese people's daily life. 【小题2】 these idioms there are often interesting stories. For example，the idiom，“plucking（拔）up a crop 【小题3】（help）it grow”，is based on the following story.

It is said that a short-tempered man was very anxious to help 【小题4】（he）rice crops grow up quickly. He was thinking about it day and night. But the crops were growing much slower than he expected.

One day，he came up with an idea 【小题5】 he would pluck up all of his crops a few inches. He did so the next day.

His son heard about this and 【小题7】（go）to see the crops. Unfortunately the 【小题8】（leaf）of the crops began to wither.

No matter where you are, humans are measuring and checking time all the time. Some of us are good at it — planning and doing things ahead of time, 【小题1】 others are always trying to beat the clock and do things at the eleventh hour.

Tardiness（迟延）can be serious. If you 【小题2】 (be) one minute late for work, would you resign（辞职）? It may sound extreme, but that is exactly 【小题3】 occurred in the UK in January 2018. International Development Minister Lord Bates arrived one minute late, and, as a consequence, was unable to answer a 【小题4】 (schedule) question. Instead of trying 【小题5】 (make) up for lost time, as many might do, he resigned on the spot. He apologized for his discourtesy（无礼的行为）and stated that he felt very sorry. His resignation, though, 【小题6】 (reject) by the UK Prime Minister.

So, how late is too late? Many cultures take punctuality（准时性）very 【小题7】 ( serious ). In contrast, others seem to view tardiness 【小题8】 just the normal way of things. What is considered 【小题9】 (accept) is based on culture. That is, if you mind 【小题10】 (wait), it might be best to attend your appointment in good time. And if the worst comes to the worst, remember the old English proverb, “Better late than never. ”
