I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My fat her 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 corners 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 was 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.25. 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. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.D. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.26.The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______. .A. abandonedB. avoidedC. lackedD. taken27. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to .A. join in the holiday celebration of the companyB. keep her appointment with the eye doctorC. finish her work before the deadline approachedD. meet her father who was already an old man28. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Two Saddest WordsB. The Most Useful RuleC. The Peace of MindD. The Emotional Well-beingCMelinda Skaar wasn't expecting any phone calls. Skaar was working late in her office at the First Internet bank of California. By 10:45 that night she was almost ready to go home when the phone rang. Picking it up, she heard a guard shouting, “There is a fire! Get out of there.” Skaar didn't panic. She figur ed that it was just a small fire. Her office building was huge. There were 62 floors and her desk was on the 37th floor. Skaar called out to office mate Stephen Oksas, who also stayed late to work. But when they got out to the hallway, they were met by a cloud of black smoke. Rushing back, Skaar shut the door and filled the space at the bottom of the door with her jacket to keep the smoke out.Then they called 911. Before they could call their families, however, the line went dead. That meant that they were completely cut off from the outside world. All they could do waswait and hope someone would come to rescue them.Minutes ticked by. Smoke began to float into the office. Soon it became hard for them to breathe. Looking around, Skaar noticed a small workroom. It seemed to have cleaner air. So they crowded there. That helped for a while, but in time even the workroom was filled with deadly smoke. Hopeless, they tried to break the windows, but the glass was not breakable.Everything they threw at it just bounced back. Defeated, they struggled back to the workroom. They felt weak and dizzy. Soon Skaar found Oksas had passed out.As Skaar and Oksas lay near death, rescuers were rushing to find them. At last, at about 4a.m., firefighters found them.Skaar and Oksas knew they were lucky to be alive. Sunday is my birthday, Skaar told a reporter. She would be turning 29, but she knew she had already got the best present possible—the gift of life.29.What did Skaar and Oksas do when they were stopped by the fire?A. they tried to run down the stairs.B. they called their families.C. they waited where they were.D. they rushed back and shut the door.30.The following helped Skaar and Oksas survive the fire except .A. calling 911 for helpB. shutting the door and keeping the smoke out with a jacketC. breaking the windows to get some fresh airD. crowding in a small workroom for clean air31. what can we conclude from Skaar's action in the fire?A. she was trained as a firefighterB. she was cleverer than OksasC. she had had the experience of being caught in fire.D. she remained calm in the face of dangerDA fourth-grade teacher allowed one of her students to shave her head in the schoolyard, after bullies（仗势欺人者）teased him about his own short buzz cut（短寸头发型）. Tori Nelson got the idea after noticing that Matthew Finney, a shy boy from her homeroom at Winlock Miller Elementary School in Washington state, was standing outside his classroom crying and wearing a winter hat.Ms. Nelson could see the back of his neck had been shaved, and since Matthew usually had very thick brown curly hair, she realized that he’d had a haircut over the weekend. She asked him what was wrong, and he said he’d gotten a buzz cut for the summer. But this morning, a fifth gr ader on the bus made fun of him, and he didn’t want to come to class and get teased by other kids. Ms Nelson tried to convince Matthew to come inside, but since school rules prohibit kids from wearing hats indoors he refused – explaining that he was afraid of showing his haircut to the other children in case they also made fun of him.Finally I said: “If you take off your hat and come to class, I’ll let you give me a buzz cut ,too,"' Ms Nelson told Yahoo Parenting.'I figured it’s just hair, and mine is alre ady short anyway. I might as well get it shorter in time for the warm weather.'Matthew excitedly took her up on the offer, and Ms Nelson and another teacher gathered all the fourth graders together during break time. A school employee brought in scissors, which Matthew used to the cheers of his classmates, excitedly watching as his teacher’s hair fell away onto the ground in the schoolyard.'It was a lot of fun for the kids, and it helped Matthew feel better about himself,' said Ms Nelson.'You have to do what it takes to reach children. Teaching isn’t just about reading and writing, it’s about self-esteem and accepting differences.'32.What mainly led to Matthew’s standing outside the classroom?A. His fear of being laughed atB.
