And it can really change our life. Time is important for everyone. It organizes our everyday moments. However, before I received a watch from my father, time never had any importance in my life. It organized my life and made me more responsible. I received this gift on a Sunday. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to pick up Uncle Jim and take him to my fathers house. However, I was late because I hung out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 am, I remembered my uncle and went to the airport to meet him, but I was too late. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to my fathers house. I got to my fathers house at 2:00 pm that day. Looking at my fathers face, I felt ashamed (羞愧的) at that moment. My father asked me to sit next to him and he handed me this watch as a gift. Then he said, “Bob, did you have fun with your friends today?” “Yes, Father, and Im sorry about not picking up Uncle Jim,” I replied. He then said, “What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions. I think you should learn something from it, and this watch will be a reminder for you in your future life.” The watch is very important to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it. Today I still remember my fathers words“Respect time and never be late for anything.” 根据短文内容，完成下列各题。76. 请用“notuntil ”改写文中处划线句子，使其句意不变。77. 请改写文中处划线部分，使其句意不变。78. 请将文中处划线句子翻译成汉语。请根据文章内容回答问题。79.
