been about fourteen then,and I put away the incident from my mind with the easycarelessness of youth.But the words,Carl Walter spoke that day,came back to me years later,andever since have been of great value to me.Carl Walter was my piano teacher.During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing Iwas doing.I said three or four hours a day.“Do you practice in long stretches,an hour at a time?”“I try to.”“Well,dont,”he said loudly.“When you grow up,time wont come in long stretches.Practicein minutes,whenever you can find them five or ten before school,after lunch,between householdtasks.Spread the practice through the day,and piano-playing will become a part of your life.”When I was teaching at Columbia,I wanted to write,but class periods,theme-reading,andcommittee meetings filled my days and evenings.For two years I got practically nothing down onpaper,and my excuse was that I had no time.Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said.During the next week I conducted an experiment.Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied,I satdown and wrote a hundred words or so.To my astonishment,at the end of the week I had a ratherlarge manuscript ready for revision,.Later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal(零碎的)method.Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever,in every day there weremoments which could be caught and put to use.There is an important trick in this time-using principle:you must get into your work quickly.If you have but five minutes for writing,you cant afford to waste four chewing your pencil.Youmust make your mental preparations beforehand,and concentrate on your task almost instantlywhen the time comes.Fortunately,rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes.But lifecan be counted on to supply interruptions.Carl Walter has had a significant influence on my life.To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need,if I throw myself into it without delay.21.The meaning of“stretch”in the underlined part is the same as that in sentence“”.A.The dog woke up,had a good stretch and wandered off.B.Bob worked as a government official for a stretch of over twenty years.C.My family wasnt wealthy by any stretch of the imagination.D.This material has a lot of stretch in it.22.We can infer that the author.A.has new books published each year however busy his teaching isB.is tired of interruptions in life because he always has much workC.has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novelsD.makes mental preparations beforehand so as to focus on work quickly23.What is probably the best title for this text?A.Concentrate on Your WorkB.A Little at a TimeC.How I Became a WriterD.Good AdviceBWhat is so different about Moisture Surge?These hydrating formulas(保湿配方)rapidly make thirsty skin smooth and soft.Oil-free and fitfor all skin types,they

passage can be bought all over the world?A.Two.B.Four.C.Six.D.Eight.CEveryone could make impulse and buy something unnecessary.Then how to avoid it?The bestway is to just keep your hands away from tempting products.According to new research,individuals who touch possible items in stores are more likely to have an increased desire topurchase them than those who keep their hands off the products.Suzanne Shu and Joann Peck,marketing professors at the University of Wisconsins businessschool conducted studies on the connection between touch and feelings of ownership and theeffect of perceived（感觉）ownership on the value placed on an object.For one of the experiments,the experts placed two products,a Slinky toy and a coffee mug（杯子）,in front of the volunteerswho were undergraduate students About half of the participants were allowed to touch theproducts,while the other half were asked not to touch them,The volunteers then were asked toexpress their sense of ownership of the products and to report,how much money they were willingto pay for each.The results showed that those students who were allowed to touch the objectsreported significant increased levels of perceived ownership.They also expressed a desire to paymore money to obtain the products.The investigators also discovered that a sense of very pleasant feelings when touching products,determined how much money consumers were willing to pay.However,if the object did riot feelpleasant to the touch,it significantly decreased the amount the buyers were willing to pay.Researchers said that many stores have already followed the right pathBut what can be donewhile shopping online,when touching of an item is not possible?In this case,the experts say,justpicturing in mind that they are touching it and then owning it,will cause greater feelings ofownership,and thus the consumers will be more likely to make a purchase.When you touch an object,you immediately feel some kind of a connection to it,according tothe researchers.That connection stirs up（唤起）an emotional reaction.And that emotion can makepeople buySomething they would never even consider buying if they had not touched it.28.How does the author

stores have used,the method of allowing customers to touch productsB.a Slinky toy and a coffee mug were used to attract the participants attentionC.people wont buy the items if they dont like them even if theyve touched themD.the people who touch the product will certainly buy it31.What led the researchers to conduct this study?A.To satisfy customers social needs when shopping.B.To illustrate
