Sam Trafton was my violin teacher and what he said during one of my lessons often came back to me years later.

One day he asked me how much I practiced, I said three or four hours a day.

“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?’’

“I try to.’’

“Well, don’t,’’ he shouted. “When you grow up, time won’t come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day.’’

When I was teaching at Boston, I wanted to write a novel, but for two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time .Then I remembered what Sam had said. During the next week I did an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my surprise, at the end of the week I had finished a chapter. Later on I continued my novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, every day there were unoccupied moments that could be caught and put to use.

However, you must get into your work quickly. If you have only five minutes for writing, you can’t afford to waste four chewing your pencil .You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize Sam Trafton has had a great influence on my life. He let me know that life can be counted on to supply you short moments and even every short periods of time can add up to all useful hours you need, if you start without delay.

77. The underlined part “counted on’’ can probably be replaced by_____________.

A. expected B. added up to C. concentrated on D. enriched

D Rapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine.

A. has new books published each year however busy his teaching is

B. can always find enough time for mental preparations beforehand

C. has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novels

D. is always tired of life because his teaching schedule is always heavy

Details of the latest James Bond film Skyfall have been shown to the public. It comes 50 years to the day after actor Sean Connery first played Bond — the superspy in Dr No.

The new film, known at the moment only as Bond 23, will be the third to star Daniel Craig as the secretagent (特工). Other names in the cast include Albert Finney, Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes.

British film-maker Sam Mendes, who won an Oscar for American Beauty, will direct the latest adventure.

Ajay Chowdhury, from the James Bond International Fan Club, said, “Daniel Craig’s third time as 007 has been looked forward to by Bond fans around the world. The fans have been made to wait extra long for this film since the global economiccrisis (经济危机) delayed the film for some time.”

“Mendes has an unusual way of directing, and with the acting gift and the precedent (先例) set by the previous two films in which Craig played Bond, Skyfall promises a Bond film where the sky may not be the limit.”

It is reported that the film will send 007 to South Africa and India to hunt for a criminal (犯罪的) organization. Other reported locations for filming include Duntrune Castle, near Lochgilphead in Argyll, Scotland, which is believed to be the spy’s home.

The film is set to be released in the UK this October.

Craig’ s performance as Bond gave new life to the film series, leading to the highest ever 007 box office (票房) takings of ￡367 million for his role in Casino Royale in 2006. Quantum of Solace, the most recent film in the series released in 2008, made ￡353 million.

1.According to the text, who will play Bond in film Skyfall?

A．Albert Finney.	B．Sean Connery.
C．Daniel Craig.	D．Sam Mendes.

2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?

A．Skyfall will be the last film of the 007 series.

B．Bond first appeared on the screen about 50 years ago.

C．Sam Mendes won an Oscar for American Beauty.

D．Skyfall will be shot in South Africa and India.

3.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Skyfall will also be a Bond film.

B．Skyfall will be a great film.

C．Skyfall will be longer than the previous ones.

D．Skyfall will be set in the sky.

4.What can we learn from the text?
