But after harvesting his own corn, Grandpas little machine broke. At the same time, the factory where Grandpa worked began to require overtime. He had to leave the farm early in the morning and didnt get home until after sunset. It now seemed impossible to help out his neighbor. One night, Grandpa decided that he wouldnt let his neighbors harvest rot (腐烂) in the field. Without a machine, hed harvest it by hand. “When do you think youd have time to do it?” asked my grandma, “Besides, itd be too dark.” “I know of one night that I could do it!” he said, “Theres still one more full moon in October. If the weather is clear, I think I can do it.” And so a few days later, after lots of busy work at the factory, my grandpa made his way to the field. The weather was cold but clear, and the moon was glowing (发光). He worked through the night to keep his word. Sometimes, when I want to put off responsibilities (责任), Id see my grandfather cutting corn in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of corn stalks (秸秆) stand at attention in respect for the man who keeps his word.（ ）4. .

If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “5-second rule!” This so-called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria than if it sits there for longer.For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of foods bread, pasta, cookies and candy to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on various types of flooring carpet, laminate (复合地板), and tile (瓷砖) for three seconds to 30 seconds.Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer from carpet, while theyre most likely to transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces after more than five seconds.The study also found that the wetter the food was, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria.Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carries an infection (感染) risk. “It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time,” Hilton told Forbes.（ ）8. What is the “5-second rule” about?A. People often shout at someone when they drop food on the floor.B. Food is safe when you pick it up off the floor in less than five seconds.C.

Here are some ways to master it. Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a persons name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself again and again without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial. Ask other persons to recite and repeat. You can let other people help you remember their names. After youve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names. Admit you dont know. Admitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say “Im working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use associations. Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng tall, black hair.” To reinforce the associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible. Limit the number of new names you learn at a time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later. Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. Thats fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others an automatic review for you. Ways to remember names Rememb
