A young college student thought that he chose the wrong major(专业) at a common college,so he drank every day and didn't study at all.He became more and more frustrated(挫败的).

But he was never absent from Professor Yang's biology class.He liked the course.Besides,Yang's class was so interesting that he always listened carefully,never caring about whether the other students were paying attention or not in class.Once he put a note in the homework he handed in,saying:“Professor,it is said that today's college students are cheaper than potatoes.Do you agree?”

That day Professor Yang sent for him after class.When he came,he found the professor at a table with a plate of food.They drank happily with their meal.

When they became half drunk,the professor showed a small potato that was sprouting(发芽的).“Do you know how much this costs?” he asked the young man.“It's soft but poisonous(有毒的).Nobody will take it even if it's free.” He then threw the potato away.The professor then showed him another potato.It was half the size of a football and perfectly round.“This potato is organic(有机的).It is not only large and fresh but also free of pollution.It is in high demand and quite expensive.”

The young man was impressed by what he'd heard.“Be such a potato,” said the professor.

Do you have any interests in your childhood? In my seventh grade, I developed a/an _____ in solving a Rubik’s Cube. I started by asking my brother to teach me and he asked me to solve a blue cross on a cube by myself.

I spent around 20 minutes mixing the cube and finally got that little blue cross on the top. ______, I jumped up from the chair and raced into my brother’s bedroom. After handing the cube to him, to my surprise, he mixed the perfect blue cross up. Making my work completely disappear.

“Do it again,” he ______ it back to me.

“No, I won’t.” I was angry stepping out of his room.

A few weeks later, my brother wasn’t at home. “I’m going to _____ how to do this without him!” I promised myself. I spent the rest of my night watching a guy on YouTube teach me to solve the first few steps. I mastered those steps.

The next day, I spent the whole school day secretly______ what I had learned the night before. When I made my way to my music class, I tried to find some spare time taking out the cube again and solving what I knew. Noah, my classmate, and also one of my best friends later, laughed at me.

“Do you know how?” I sneered(讥笑).

“Actually yeah, let me see it. My fastest solving ______ is 15 seconds,” he noted as he began solving the cube. It took him about 25 seconds to finish it.

“Okay, that was cool.” I started solving the cube again. I didn’t know at that time this boy would be my inspiration for cube solving. He taught me each step, each day, and when I ______, he’d remind(提醒) me how to do it. He was the best friend I’d ever had.

Sadly he’s no longer with us now, but the memories of solving cubes together will be there forever. It was this boy who helped me with cube solving. It takes me around a minute to solve a Rubik’s Cube. I am ______ that I can do something not many people can. Thank you, Noah
