The Value of Time

We have many things to do. When we are students, we learn and study. When grown up, we work for society, for our nation, and for the world. We are born to be busy. But we cannot live more than one hundred years; we have only a limited time to do much work. How precious our time is!

Many men do not realize the value of time. p> Many men do not realize the value of time. This is, indeed, a great pity. "Time is money" is an old saying. In fact, it is more valuable than money. Wasting time means wasting a part of our time. time means wasting a part of our precious life.

We have to form the habit of saving time, instead of spending time uselessly. It is necessary for us to It is necessary for us to do our work today, let us do it today, and not leave it till tomorrow. Laziness is the thief of time. It not only brings us failure, but does harm to us as well. Remember that if a man in youth does not do his best, he will feel very sorry when he is old.

B. Hadn't you met him yet?

C. Didn't you meet him yet?

D. Haven't you met him yet?

D. Haven't you met him yet?

Correct Answer.

This question uses a "blindfold" on the student, which means that the second sentence of the answer is in the general past tense. It's easy to think that the tense in the space is "past past" -- past perfect. The sentence in the space means: Didn't you see him? It emphasizes an action that has taken place up to the present, so it can only be in the present perfect tense.
