One Bite at a Time

Stephen was on campus to register when I first met him.

One summer day 41 I was heading for the administration building, I heard someone call my name. I 42 around and saw Philip, one of my colleagues standing with another young man. As Philip introduced me to the young man, named Stephen, he reminded him that he would be taking one of my 43 , Introduction to Literature. With a somewhat 44 . expression, Stephen asked if my class was going to be “hard”. Would he be able to pass? I 45 he was concerned about failing before the 46 day of classes. We talked about what the class would 47 and I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with 48 .

Then I remembered a bit of classical dialog: Question: “How do you eat an elephant?” Answer: “One bite at a time.”

I told him to 49 his work that way. To do his assignment, all of them, and to get them in on time. I added that most 50 students I knew made a timetable of all the assignment so they could 51 their workload.

As time went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. He had 52 in middle school. It had taken him longer to finish than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a 53 . Now, in the face of their negative-saying he had been admitted into college. He told me that before coming to our campus no one had believed he had much 54 .

Stephen didn’t become an “A” student. He didn’t make any honor rolls. Still, he managed to 55 most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignment on time and breaking down his studying into 56 digestible parts. By passing course after course he began to gain a measure of self-respect. He was a great singer and he was 57 the school’s cross-country team.

Every time I saw him on campus, he would brighten up and say, “One bite at a time.” Whenever he introduced me to his friends, he would tell them that he was 58 when he was supposed to be failing.

B

Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.

My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp comers of a glass coffee table.

I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.

I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being. 65. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule? A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated. B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working. C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better. D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.

66. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ___________.

A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor B. meet her father who was already an old man C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached

67. The underlined word \in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___________.

A. abandoned B. lacked C. avoided D. abused 68. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words C. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of Mind

PhoneSoap: Charge and Clean Your Phone

You may charge your phone every day, but do you clean your phone as much? Whatever your hands touch, your phones touch. It has been discovered that some phones have 18 times more bacteria and viruses than any surface in a public restroom. So it probably won’t surprise you that a 2011 University of London study found that one in six of our phones have bacteria and viruses on them—specifically, the bacteria called E. coli.

The research on bacteria and viruses led to the invention of PhoneSoap. It is not actually liquid like dishwasher soap. It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges.

“There are really certain types of bacteria and viruses that we should not be in touch with, and they are really on our phones,” says Wes Barnes, the PhoneSoap co-founder. It all started while his cousin and co-founder, Dan LaPorte, was in his cancer research lab at college. “He realized he got the idea of getting rid of bacteria and viruses on the phones,” said Barnes. “In the lab they used UV-C light for destroying them. He realized this would be the fastest, most powerful way to kill any bacteria and viruses living on electronic machines.”

PhoneSoap looks like a little metal suitcase. Your phone rests in to charge and get cleaned at the same time. Instead of plugging your phone into the wall, you’d
