At lunch time one day, a week before her mother’s birthday, Sally decided to have a quick sandwich and a cup of coffee instead of her usual 1 in the college hall, and then go 2 near her college to try to find her mother a nice present. When she had been looking for half an hour, she 3 across a shop that was selling umbrellas cheap, and 4 that one of those would solve her problem, since her mother had lost hers the month before.“Now which 5 shall I choose?”she thought. “Well, I think a black one would be the most useful really. You can carry that when you are wearing 6 of any color, can’t you?”So having made up her 7 , she bought a lovely black umbrella and took it back to the college with her 8 her classes had finished.
On her way back home in the train that evening she felt hungry because she had had such a small lunch, so she went 9 to the buffet car(餐车) for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had 10 the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment, but when she got back, it was 11 ! When she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers in it, but now there were three.
Sally burst into 12 when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the 13 was. When she explained that the black umbrella she had bought 14 her mother had disappeared, and that she had to get out at the next 15 , the three other passengers asked her for her mother’s 16 , in order to be able to send the umbrella on to her in case someone had 17 it by mistake and not on 18, and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.
The next week, Sally heard 19 her mother. Her letter said,“Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me 20 black umbrellas?”

提示:
Welcome every morning with a smile. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.
Starting the day right can give good momentum (动力) for the rest of the day. Having a power morning is a key factor for a fruitful day. Here are some tips on getting the most out of the morning.
Wake up early. In theory, there’s no difference in waking up early or late as long as you get the proper amount of sleep. However, there is a psychological advantage when you wake up earlier than the average person and then you’ll have more time to do preparation before engaging in the real world.
Exercise. Good health is always a benefit with exercise, but studies have also shown that morning exercise helps you to sleep better at nights.
Eat breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day. According to the Mayo Clinic, we should choose three from the following four: fruits and vegetables, grains, dairy, and protein. Did you know that you can actually gain weight when you skip breakfast?
Take a shower. When you shower, do you do it in the morning or at night? I used to shower in the evenings, but I found that morning showers helped me to be more alert.
Prioritize (优先) your To-Do list. Leo coined the acronym MIT to mean “most important tasks.” Our to-do list might be never ending, but put on top of the list a couple of urgent tasks that will define the day to be a successful one.
Check your emails. Only once. Getting a lot of emails can be very distractive. You actually are more productive when you check them only a few times at fixed time of the day. I only do them 2-3 times a day—once in the morning, once at lunch, and one more as it gets toward the end of the day.
