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

16

?”

“I

try

to.”

“Well,

don?t,”

he

said

loudly.

“When

you

grow

up,

17

won?t

come

in

long

stretches.

Practice

in

minutes,

whenever

you

can

find

them

five

or

ten

before

school,

after

lunch,

18

household

tasks.

19

the

practice

through

the

day,

and

piano-playing

will

become

a

part

of

your

life.”

When

I

was

teaching

at

Columbia,

I

wanted

to

20

,

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

21

was

that

I

had

no

time.

Then

I

remembered

what

Carl

Walter

had

said.

During

the

next

22

I

conducted

an

experiment.

Whenever

I

had

five

minutes

unoccupied,

I

sat

down

and

wrote

a

hundredwords

or

so.

To

my

23

,

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.

24

my

teaching

schedule

had

become

heavier

than

ever,

in

every

day

there

were

idle

moments

which

could

be

caught

and

put

to

use.

I

25

took

up

piano-playing

again,

finding

that

the

small

26

of

the

day

provided

sufficient

time

for

both

writing

and

piano

practice.

There

is

an

important

27

in

this

time

—

you

must

get

into

your

work

quickly.

If

youhave

but

five

minutes

for

writing,

you

can?t

afford

to

waste

four

28

your

pencil.

You

must

make

your

mental

preparations

29

,

and

concentrate

on

your

task

almost

instantly

when

the

time

comes.

Fortunately,

rapid

30

is

easier

than

most

of

us

realize.

I

31

I

have

never

learnt

how

to

let

go

easily

at

the

end

of

the

five

or

ten

minutes.

But

32

can

be

expected

to

supply

interruptions.

Walter

had

a

tremendous

閱讀理解AHolidaymakers

who

are

bored

with

baking

beaches

and

overheated

hotel

rooms

head

for

a

big

igloo.

Swedish

businessman

Nile

Bergqvist

is

delighted

with

his

new

hotel,

the

world's

first

igloo

hotel.

Built

in

a

small

town

in

Lapland,

it

has

been

attracting

lots

of

visitors,

but

soon

thefun

will

be

over.

In

two

weeks'time

Bergqvist's

ice

creationwill

be

nothing

more

than

a

pool

of

water.

"We

don't

see

it

as

a

big

problem,"

he

says.

"We

just

look

forward

to

replacing

it."

Bergqvist

built

his

first

igloo

in

1991

for

an

art

exhibition.

It

was

so

successful

that

he

designed

the

present

one,

which

measures

roughly

200

square

meters.

Six

workmen

spent

more

than

eight

weeks

piling

1,000

tons

of

snow

onto

a

wooden

base;

when

the

snow

froze,

the

base

was

removed.

"The

only

wooden

thing

we

have

left

in

the

igloo

is

the

front

door,"

he

says.

After

their

stay,

all

visitors

receive

a

survival

certificate

recording

their

success.

With

no

windows,

nowhere

to

hang

clothes

and

temperatures

below

0℃,

it

may

seem

more

like

a

survival

test

than

a

relaxinghotel

break.

"It's

great

fun,"

Bergqvist

explains,

"as

well

as

a

good

start

in

survival

training."

The

popularity

of

the

igloo

is

beyond

doubt:

it

is

now

attracting

tourists

from

all

over

the

world.

At

least

800

people

have

stayed

at

the

igloo

this

season

even

though

there

are

only

10

rooms.

"You

can

get

a

lot

of

people

in,"

explains

Bergqvist.

"The

beds

are

three

meters

wide

by

two

meters

long,

and

can

fit

at

least

four

at

one

time."

36.

Bergqvist

hotel

town

C.

an

art

exhibition

was

about

to

open

D.

hotel

rooms

were

needed

37.

the

writer

fun

will

be

over,"

refers

the

fact

that

______

A.

hotel

test

pool

of

water

C.

igloo

D.

a

bigger

igloo
