It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can’t imagine we will do without him when he’s gone. Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill’s leadership; we are increas??ing our share with each passing month.
As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company’s competitive areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.
1. The speech was made ________.
A. at a welcome meeting B. after someone died
C. when somebody was leaving D. when they had a new manager

A. by 37 per cent every month B. to the second largest in the area

The moment I knew my mother had incurable lung cancer, I realized for the first time that time will one day run out for us all.
I have determined to be with my mother as much as I possibly can. This is not out of a sense of
36 , but because I really want to be near her. But making the time to 37 with my mother has been my greatest 38 . I have a husband, a four-year-old son and a home to nm. I also hold down a(n) 39 job as a radio announcer at the BBC.
I arrived at work one day to be told we would be doing a radio series exploring “time poverty”. I’ve 40 been taken with the idea that we are time-poor. How can I - who have so many labor-saving machines and an only child – have 41 time than my mother who had six children and no 42 ?
I put this 43 a professor. He pointed out that it is because I try to keep my home much cleaner than my mother did. I admit I like to 44 to my friends. My husband says 45 that I remove all traces (痕迹) of human life 46 anyone arrives.
The professor said 47 has become the new religion. We expect work to provide us with a sense of identity and a means to secure our future. And because we 48 so much time in our working lives, we like to reward ourselves with material things. Frequently, we spend our money before it’s earned. 49 is an annoying worry, keeping us 50 to the work treadmill (跑步机).
The same professor suggested we 51 a Buddhist concept -- to enjoy each moment and activity for its own sake, 52 try to do lots of things at once. Since then I have been 53 the art of “living in the moment” whenever I get the chance. I have cleared my schedule of nonessential tasks, 54 house and garden plans, and turned down some extra work.
It is my mother’s illness, a once-in-a-lifetime event, that sets me 55 on the fact that we forget that time is a limited resource.
36. A. duty B. guilt C. sorrow D. sympathy
37. A. live B. be C. chat D. go
38. A. concern B. challenge C. chance D. trouble
39. A. demanding B. critical C. boring D. amazing
40. A. almost B. seldom C. never D. often
41. A. better B. worse C. less D. more
42. A. tape-recorder B. washing machine C. air-conditioner D. television
43. A. with B. for C. in D. to
44. A. show off B. draw attention C. look forward D. get close
45. A. angrily B. surprisingly C. jokingly D. seriously
46. A. after B. when C. as D. before

I must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with
the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me
years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.
Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I
was doing. 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 exclaimed. "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, 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, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, 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 sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano--playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.
There is an important trick in this time--using formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but 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.
I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous 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 plunge（投入）in without delay.

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

C．has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novels
D．can find sufficient time for mental preparations beforehand, so he's devoted to work instantly
