• 2．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 （襯墊） 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'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.
  
  （1）Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute" rule？

  
  A．Start the car as soon as 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.
  （2）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
  （3）The underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

  .
  A．a(chǎn)bandoned
  B．lacked
  C．a(chǎn)voided
  D．resisted
  （4）What is the best title for the passage？

  
  A．The Emotional Well-being.
  B．The Two Saddest Words.
  C．The Power of Now.
  D．The Peace of Mind.

• 3．Few people can resist the lure （誘惑） of a delicious ice cream，especially on a hot day．The only thing that spoils the fun is that the treat is hard to enjoy slowly often ending up with a sticky，melted mess．Now，researchers from Colombia's Pontificia Bolivariana University may have found an unlikely partner to help solve this age-old problem- cellulose fiber （纖維素） extracted from banana plant waste．
     Bananas，as you probably know，grow in bunches on a tree-like plant．Each bunch is attached to a central stalk，called a rahis （葉軸），which is thrown once the fruit has been harvested．The team，led by Dr．Rotin Zuluaga Gallego，began by extracting cellulose nanofibrils （CNs） from powdered rachis．The tasteless，odorless macro fibers，thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair，were then added in various concentrations to 100 grams of ice cream mix．
     With the right amount of CNFs mixed in，the dessert lasted longer in its frozen state than conventional ice cream，extending both its shelf life and the amount of time the treat can be enjoyed．Even more exciting was that the fibers increased the stickiness of low-fat ice cream to levels higher than the full-fat one．Since this is what determines the frozen treat's creaminess and texture，CNFs could help create healthier ice cream without compromising on taste．
     The researchers，who presented their findings at the American Chemical Society （ACS） meeting in New Orleans on March 21，2018，next plan to investigate how different types of fat，such as coconut oil，affect the behavior of CNFs in other frozen treats．
     The Colombian researchers are not the only one working on creating a slower-melting ice cream．In 2015，scientists at the University of Dundee in Scotland found that a naturally occurring protein called BSIA （Bacterial Surface Layer A） was remarkably effective in keeping the treat frozen for longer periods of time．With both teams competing to be the first to get to market，the future of everyone's favorite dessert certainly looks promising．
  
  （1）What prevents people enjoying an ice cream slowly？

  
  A．A kind of fiber from banana．
  B．The ice cream's stickiness．
  C．The hot weather．
  D．The ice cream's quick melting．
  （2）Why were CNFs added to ice cream mix？

  
  A．To improve is flavor．
  B．To reduce its fat content．
  C．To make it melt more slowly．
  D．To add to its nutrition．
  （3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Ice cream with BsIA has been on sale at the market．
  B．Slowly enjoying an ice cream will soon become a reality．
  C．CNFs are more useful and effective than BslA．
  D．The Colombian research team has taken the lead in the competition with the Scottish team．
  （4）What's the author's attitude towards the finding of CNFs？

  
  A．Positive．
  B．Casual．
  C．Defensive
  D．Suspicious．

• 9．The familiar smell of garlic and onion filled the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me.On any other occasion，I would have been delighted to eat my mom's pan - fried tofu：a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner.But not today，the day a nice girl had invited me，the new girl at school，to sit with her friends during lunch.
      "Charis，over here!" My new friend was waving her arms，trying to get my attention.
      As I prepared to walk over to the table，memories of elementary and middle school lunch times resurfaced.I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food.I remembered how my embarrassment shifted to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom.
      I had argued with my mom that I wanted "normal" food for lunch.I remembered the look on my mom's face，a mix between disappointment and confusion.But I was determined and she gave in.So for the remainder of middle school，my mom packed odorless （ 沒有氣味的），non Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches.However，that day，she was in a rush and packed me leftovers from dinner.
      As soon as I got to my new lunch table，I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat.I sat quietly，trying not to be noticed when Katrina，a new acquaintance，asked where my food was. "I'm not really hungry，" I replied in an insecure voice.But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out， "Then，I'll eat it!" The other girls laughed---apparently Katrina was known to be a big eater.
      I didn't want to be rude to a potentially new friend，so I reluctantly dragged out my lunch bag.The moment I lifted the cover of my lunch container，I could practically taste the garlic and onion.The girls，piqued （激起好奇心） by the smell in the air，all curiously looked at the oval - shaped container.I expected an "Ew" or a "What is that？"
  注意：
