In Britain，Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th.Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's not a working day in the whole Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
The exact origin(起源)of the holiday is unclear. One of the thought is that during the Middle Ages,when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was replaced by a priest(神父)on each ship. Those sailors who wanted a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up(密封)and kept on board until the ship came safely.
One more thought is about the “Alms Box"placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshipers(做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today,many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by giving away money to Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides,spending time with family and shopping are necessary activities on Boxing Day now.

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the correct time and is never late for anything.
An unpunctual man never does what he has to do at the right time. He is always in a hurry and in the end of losing both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, .but lost time can never be got back. Time is more useful than material things.In fact, time is life itself. An unpunctual man is always wasting his most important things as well as others'. An unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters or return calls. But the man who really has much to do is very careful of his time. He knows that he cannot finish all his work unless he carefully does every piece of work.
Being unpunctual is the sign of disrespect(不尊重)towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the time when he should be there, he keeps all other guests (客人)waiting for him. Usually this will be thought as a great disrespect to the host and all the other guests.
Not like a punctual person, an unpunctual one can't do his duty wonderfully, whether it is public or personal. Imagine how it would be if those who should do important tasks failed to be on time. A man who is known to be often unpunctual is never believed by his friends or fellow men.
( )6.The Chinese meaning of the word “punctual” in this passage is probably“守时的”.
( )7. An unpunctual person often has more time.
( )8. When you are invited to dinner, you'd better arrive there at the decided time.
( )9.An unpunctual man usually saves time for others in the end.
( )10.An unpunctual man is never believed by his friends or fellow men.

My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. Things are very different from the way they are at home. For example, you're not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You're supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I'm used to it. Another example is that you're not supposed to ea anything with your hands except bread,not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it witl a fork. Another thing is that it is impolite to say you're full. If you don't want any more food, you should just say, “That was delicious." I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything, but I'm gradually getting used to it. I don't find French customs so
strange any more.
