阅读下面短文,然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

  An office meeting starts at 10 a. m.Hans, a German, is already waiting at 9∶55.Na-than, an American, arrives right at 10 o'clock.In the next five minutes a few others hurry in.But Raul, the visitor from Brazil, walks in at 10∶30.He doesn't even think he' s late.

  How different the understanding of time is around the world! Germans like arriving early.Americans plan to arrive just on time.Brazilians think it OK to be half an hour late.

  In 1884, a clock in Greenwich, England, set the standard(标准的)time around the world, which is known as GMT(Greenwich Mean Time).But it couldn't standardize(使标准化)when people will arrive for a 10 a.m. meeting.

  As people have different understanding of time, all cultures(文化)can be put into one of the two groups:time-oriented(导向的)and event-oriented.Time goes first in time-oriented culture.In event-oriented culture, what happens is more important than when.Such knowledge is important for today's world travelers.

  Not understanding these different ideas about time can sometimes bring trouble.For example, American students often quickly exchange “how are you?”and “fine”as they rush to make class on time.But event-oriented students see this exchange as impolite.Before they can say anything more than “fine”, the American student has already hurried past them.

  What can the world traveler do to avoid(避免)such time related trouble? Follow the age-old rule:When in Rome, do as the Romans do

  Are you feeling sleepy in class?I remember that I used to get up at eight when I was young.And we didn't use to do homework.But now, everything has changed.

  For 12-year-old Liu Xiangjian, the most difficult thing in life is getting up at 5:50 a. m.every school day.

  “I don't want to get up so early, but I used to be afraid of being late,”the six-grade Beijing primary school student said,“I want more sleep.”

  Liu has breakfast at 6∶15 a. m.and after a 30-minute bus ride, arrives at school at 7 a. m.Like most of his 28 classmates, Liu arrives at school a full hour before lessons start at 8 a. m.

  In 2007, a survey of 2500 schoolchildren in six cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, it was found that about 77% students were short of sleep.

In a recent survey made by the China Daily website, almost 70% of the 1,130 respondents said that they agreed with cutting school hours, while 22% disagreed and 10% had no comment.

  Although their children spend long hours at school, many parents arrange for them to take more studies.

  Liu's mother, Wang Qunyu, who teaches at a high school in Beijing, thinks her son is still not doing enough to win a place at a good quality high school.

  “Of course I want my son to have more sleep, more exercise and more fun,' she said,“but the common saying is that if you give your child a happy childhood in China, you give him a failed future.”

  Something must be done to change people's traditional thought that a college diploma(毕业证)is a ticket to a good job.

[  ]
