真题：钟表上的秒针一下一下地移动，每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。再看看墙上挂着的可以一张张撕下的日历，每天撕下一张就是表示我们的寿命又短了一天。因为时间即生命。没有人不爱惜他的生命，但很少人珍视他的时间。如果想有生之年做点什么事，学一点什么学问充实自己！帮助别人！使生命成为有意义，不虚此生，那么就不可浪费时间！这个道理人人都懂，可是很少人能善为利用它。

译文：Every tick-tock of the timepiece is a reminder that a portion of our life is lost.  Every wall calendar page torn off marks a day taken away from our lifespan. Time is life. While life is cherished by almost all, time is not. To make the most out of our precious life, we must seek knowledge, we must try to be helpful to others, we must constantly add meaning to life by not wasting time. This is not difficult of a concept to grasp, but it is, unfortunately, a concept rarely put to good practice.
