From the time l was young,I've noticed changes in people's hairstyles, clothes, facial expressions and behaviors. 1. I respond, “I pay attention."
I believe in paying attention to the world around me, in the power of paying attention..
I grew up on our family farm, surrounded by fields of wheat, soybeans, and corn. My grandpa Bohil always had an eye to the sky, interpreting the clouds and their various colors. He knew when the soybeans got the color of brown paper bags it was time to harvest. He knew when the wheat rustled (沙沙作响) like scratchy dry skin it was time to harvest that, too. 2.
My mother sewed everything from curtains to clothes. She made quite a few of my clothes. Her pattern work was so precise, her seam(线缝)work so exact. Fittings were exercises in detail. 3. The women in my family practiced exacting crafts, requiring precision and an eye for detail, attention to color combinations, a love of a patterned world.
4. It was the clothes on my body, and the quilt on my bed. Noticing was the crops in the fields, and the clouds in the sky.
I' m a teaching writer. Seeing details is my job, both in my writing and in my students’. Nothing is too small to ignore. Noticing is my job. _5. I notice the sun and clouds on my pages and theirs, both the bright skies and the storms on the horizon.
The world is made up of one detail after another, and by opening my eyes to each of them, I can see the world much more clearly, much more broadly. By paying attention, I learn to expand.
A. So if I notice that your eyes look dull instead of bright, you will know why.
B. She would tear the seams and start over if something wasn 't quite right.
C. I sew, quilt, plant, cultivate, and harvest, alone and with my students.
D. My great-grandmother quilted blankets for each of us.
E. Often, people act surprised and ask, "You noticed?"
F. Farming is about noticing, about paying attention.
G. Noticing was all around me.

Phone Soap: Charge and Clean Your Phone
You may charge your phone every day, but do you clean your phone as much? Whatever your hands touch, your phones touch. It has been discovered that some phones have 18 times more bacteria and viruses than any surface in a public restroom. So it probably won’t surprise you that a 2011 University of London study found that one in six of our phones have bacteria and viruses on them—specifically, the bacteria called E. coli.
The research on bacteria and viruses led to the invention of Phone Soap. It is not actually liquid like dishwasher soap. It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation (辐射) used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges.
“There are really certain types of bacteria and viruses that we should not be in touch with, and they are really on our phones,” says Wes Barnes, the Phone Soap co-founder. It all started while his cousin and co-founder, Dan LaPorte, was in his cancer research lab at college. “He realized he got the idea of getting rid of bacteria and viruses on the phones,” said Barnes. “In the lab they used UV-C light for destroying them. He realized this would be the fastest, most powerful way to kill any bacteria and viruses living on electronic machines.”
Phone Soap looks like a little metal suitcase. Your phone rests in to charge and get cleaned at the same time. Instead of plugging your phone into the wall, you’d plug it into the Phone Soap charger box. The process only takes a few minutes but, Barnes says, “The idea is that you can leave it in there overnight if you want to keep charging. Reflective paint keeps the light completely around the phone so it cleans the phone fully.”
The co-founders spent 2013 finding the right companies and they started shipping the product in late November. By last week’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Phone Soap was all grown-up. Both co-founders have left their previous jobs and are selling Phone Soap nonstop. “We’re shipping almost more than we can handle each day,” Barnes says. “It’s been a great adventure.”
1.We can learn from the first paragraph that ______.
A. phones can be very dirty
B. phones are where bacteria are born
C. most phones are attacked by bacteria
D. phones store more bacteria in a restroom
2.According to the passage, Phone Soap ______.
A. takes a whole night to kill bacteria
B. deals with bacteria with radiation
C. is a kind of liquid like dishwasher soap
D. has to be plugged into the wall to work
3. From what Barnes said in the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.
A. Phone Soap is in great demand now
B. Phone Soap is really hard to handle
C. they can’t produce enough Phone Soap
D. they’ll make improvements to Phone Soap
4.What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Methods of cleaning phones.
B. Tips on charging phones quickly.
C. Soap killing harmful bacteria on phones.
D. A phone charger keeping your phone clean.

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look? 1.
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. __2. .
But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.
__3. “we do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained, “ but extremes (极端)of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
__4.. Ludovica Gaudio,14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. 5. “ I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “In winter , when dressed like that ,it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”
A.But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.
B.A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
C.He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
D.Most students have simply ignored the request.
E.Another 14-year-old girl said she would probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons.
F.Let us see that Italian students react differently to schools’ requests.
G.Schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes.
