19、ur eyes on the ball.” That is good advice when you are on the playing field, and good advice for everyday life. “Keep your mind on whats important,” is the way Id put it. But people are funny. They think too much about the details.I had a secretary once. She was very hardworking. I ran a school and
20、people used to call up to enroll for courses. Berry used to get angry at the phone. “If they keep on ringing, Ill never get my typing done!” shed shout.People just dont see the big picture. One evening, after leaving work, I was sitting next to a man on the train. I was feeling tired. My eyes fell o
21、n the paper he had spread out in front of him. You know how you feel to read over someones shoulder?I read the page and leaned back. I guessed I was waiting for him to turn it.

A. judgment B. work C. life D. habits BOn March 17 there will be an explosion of green colour across the world in celebration of St Patricks Day. The Irish traditionally wear something coloured
26、green on this day as the colour is connected with Ireland. Another St Patricks Day tradition is for the non-Irish to make jokes about the Irish. Usually these jokes will be about Irish stupidity or their famous thirst for alcohol, or their reputation（名声） for telling tall（untrue） stories. These chara
27、cteristics are all part of the famous Irish stereotype （成见） that Irishmen are hot-tempered drinkers, who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a days work.
