① One night, I opened the door that led to the second floor, noting that the hallway light was off.

② I thought nothing of it because I knew there was a light switch next to the stairs that I could turn on.

③ What happened next was something that chilled my blood.

④ When I put my foot down on the first step, I felt a movement under the stairs.

⑤ My eyes were drawn to the darkness beneath them.

⑥ Once I realized something strange was happening, my heart started beating fast.

⑦ Suddenly, I saw a hand reach out from between the steps and grab my ankle.

⑧ I let out a terrifying scream that could be heard all the way down the block, but nobody answered!

① Something comes over most people when they start writing.

② They write in a language different from the one they would use if they were talking to a friend.

③ If, however, you want people to read and understand what you write, write it in spoken language.

④ Written language is more complex, which makes it more work to read.

⑤ It's also more formal and distant, which makes the readers lose attention.

⑥ You don't need complex sentences to express ideas.

⑦ Even when specialists in some complicated field express their ideas, they don't use sentences any more complex than they do when talking about what to have for lunch.

⑧ If you simply manage to write in spoken language, you have a good start as a writer.


1806H1-21
① Too many companies advertise their new products as if their competitors did not exist.

② They advertise their products in a vacuum and are disappointed when their messages fail to get through.

③ Introducing a new product category is difficult, especially if the new category is not contrasted against the old one.

④ Consumers do not usually pay attention to what's new and different unless it's related to the old.

⑤ That's why if you have a truly new product, it's often better to say what the product is not, rather than what it is.

⑥ For example, the first automobile was called a "horseless" carriage, a name which allowed the public to understand the concept against the existing mode of transportation.


1806H1-22
① Human beings are driven by a natural desire to form and maintain interpersonal relationships.

② From this perspective, people seek relationships with others to fill a fundamental need, and this need underlies many emotions, actions, and decisions throughout life.

③ Probably, the need to belong is a product of human beings' evolutionary history as a social species.

④ Human beings have long depended on the cooperation of others for the supply of food, protection from predators, and the acquisition of essential knowledge.

⑤ Without the formation and maintenance of social bonds, early human beings probably would not have been able to cope with or adapt to their physical environments.

⑥ Thus, seeking closeness and meaningful relationships has long been vital for human survival.

① Mammals tend to be less colorful than other animal groups, but zebras are strikingly dressed in black-and-white.

② What purpose do such high contrast patterns serve?

③ The colors' roles aren't always obvious.

④ The question of what zebras can gain from having stripes has puzzled scientists for more than a century.

⑤ To try to solve this mystery, wildlife biologist Tim Caro spent more than a decade studying zebras in Tanzania.

⑥ He ruled out theory after theory ― stripes don't keep them cool, stripes don't confuse predators ― before finding an answer.

⑦ In 2013, he set up fly traps covered in zebra skin and, for comparison, others covered in antelope skin.

⑧ He saw that flies seemed to avoid landing on the stripes.

⑨ After more research, he concluded that stripes can literally save zebras from disease-carrying insects.

① Tomas Luis de Victoria, the greatest Spanish composer of the sixteenth century, was born in Avila and as a boy sang in the church choir.

② When his voice broke, he went to Rome to study and he remained in that city for about 20 years, holding appointments at various churches and religious institutions.

③ In Rome, he met Palestrina, a famous Italian composer, and may even have been his pupil.

④ In the 1580s, after becoming a priest, he returned to Spain and spent the rest of his life peacefully in Madrid as a composer and organist to members of the royal household.

⑤ He died in 1611, but his tomb has yet to be identified.

① Plastic is extremely slow to degrade and tends to float, which allows it to travel in ocean currents for thousands of miles.

② Most plastics break down into smaller and smaller pieces when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, forming microplastics.

③ These microplastics are very difficult to measure once they are small enough to pass through the nets typically used to collect them.

④ Their impacts on the marine environment and food webs are still poorly understood.

⑤ These tiny particles are known to be eaten by various animals and to get into the food chain.

⑥ Because most of the plastic particles in the ocean are so small, there is no practical way to clean up the ocean.

⑦ One would have to filter enormous amounts of water to collect a relatively small amount of plastic.


1806H1-29
① People have higher expectations as their lives get better.

② However, the higher the expectations, the more difficult it is to be satisfied.

③ We can increase the satisfaction we feel in our lives by controlling our expectations.

④ Adequate expectations leave room for many experiences to be pleasant surprises.

⑤ The challenge is to find a way to have proper expectations.

⑥ One way to do this is by keeping wonderful experiences rare.

⑦ No matter what you can afford, save great wine for special occasions.

⑧ Make an elegantly styled silk blouse a special treat.

⑨ This may seem like an act of denying your desires, but I don't think it is.

⑩ On the contrary, it's a way to make sure that you can continue to experience pleasure.

⑪ What's the point of great wines and great blouses if they don't make you feel great?


1806H1-30
① "Wanna work together?"

② a cheerful voice spoke on Amy's first day at a new school.

③ It was Wilhemina.

④ Amy was too surprised to do anything but nod.

⑤ The big black girl put her notebook down beside Amy's.

⑥ After dropping the notebook, she lifted herself up onto the stool beside Amy.

⑦ "I'm Wilhemina Smiths, Smiths with an s at both ends," she said with a friendly smile.

⑧ "My friends call me Mina.

⑨ You're Amy Tillerman.

⑩ "Amy nodded and stared.

⑪ As the only new kid in the school, she was pleased to have a lab partner.

⑫ But Amy wondered if Mina chose her because she had felt sorry for the new kid.

① One outcome of motivation is behavior that takes considerable effort.

② For example, if you are motivated to buy a good car, you will research vehicles online, look at ads, visit dealerships, and so on.

③ Likewise, if you are motivated to lose weight, you will buy low-fat foods, eat smaller portions, and exercise.

④ Motivation not only drives the final behaviors that bring a goal closer but also creates willingness to expend time and energy on preparatory behaviors.

⑤ Thus, someone motivated to buy a new smartphone may earn extra money for it, drive through a storm to reach the store, and then wait in line to buy it.


1806H1-32
① Good managers have learned to overcome the initial feelings of anxiety when assigning tasks.

② They are aware that no two people act in exactly the same way and so do not feel threatened if they see one employee going about a task differently than another.

③ Instead, they focus on the end result.

④ If a job was successfully done, as long as people are working in a manner acceptable to the organization (for example, as long as salespeople are keeping to the company's ethical selling policy), then that's fine.

⑤ If an acceptable final outcome wasn't achieved, then such managers respond by discussing it with the employee and analyzing the situation, to find out what training or additional skills that person will need to do the task successfully in the future.


1806H1-33
① There is good evidence that in organic development, perception starts with recognizing outstanding structural features.

② For example, when two-year-old children and chimpanzees had learned that, of two boxes presented to them, the one with a triangle of a particular size and shape always contained attractive food, they had no difficulty applying their training to triangles of very different appearance.

③ The triangles were made smaller or larger or turned upside down.

④ A black triangle on a white background was replaced by a white triangle on a black background, or an outlined triangle by a solid one.

⑤ These changes seemed not to interfere with recognition.

⑥ Similar results were obtained with rats.

⑦ Karl Lashley, a psychologist, has asserted that simple transpositions of this type are universal in all animals including humans.


1806H1-34
① There is a very old story involving a man trying to fix his broken boiler.

② Despite his best efforts over many months, he can't do it.

③ Eventually, he gives up and decides to call in an expert.

④ The engineer arrives, gives one gentle tap on the side of the boiler, and it springs to life.

⑤ The engineer gives a bill to the man, and the man argues that he should pay only a small fee as the job took the engineer only a few moments.

⑥ The engineer explains that the man is not paying for the time he took to tap the boiler but rather the years of experience involved in knowing exactly where to tap.

⑦ Just like the expert engineer tapping the boiler, effective change does not have to be time-consuming.

⑧ In fact, it is often simply a question of knowing exactly where to tap.


1806H1-35
① Interpersonal messages combine content and relationship dimensions.

② That is, they refer to the real world, to something external to both speaker and listener;.

③ At the same time they also refer to the relationship between parties.

④ For example, a supervisor may say to a trainee, "See me after the meeting.

⑤ "This simple message has a content message that tells the trainee to see the supervisor after the meeting.

⑥ It also contains a relationship message that says something about the connection between the supervisor and the trainee.

⑦ Even the use of the simple command shows there is a status difference that allows the supervisor to command the trainee.

⑧ You can appreciate this most clearly if you visualize the same command being made by the trainee to the supervisor.

⑨ It appears awkward and out of place, because it violates the normal relationship between supervisor and trainee.


1806H1-36
① The scientific study of the physical characteristics of colors can be traced back to Isaac Newton.

② One day, he spotted a set of prisms at a big county fair.

③ He took them home and began to experiment with them.

④ In a darkened room he allowed a thin ray of sunlight to fall on a triangular glass prism.

⑤ As soon as the white ray hit the prism, it separated into the familiar colors of the rainbow.

⑥ This finding was not new, as humans had observed the rainbow since the beginning of time.

⑦ It was only when Newton placed a second prism in the path of the spectrum that he found something new.

⑧ The composite colors produced a white beam.

⑨ Thus he concluded that white light can be produced by combining the spectral colors.


1806H1-37
① When I was very young, I had a difficulty telling the difference between dinosaurs and dragons.

② But there is a significant difference between them.

③ Dragons appear in Greek myths, legends about England's King Arthur, Chinese New Year parades, and in many tales throughout human history.

④ But even if they feature in stories created today, they have always been the products of the human imagination and never existed.

⑤ Dinosaurs, however, did once live.

⑥ They walked the earth for a very long time, even if human beings never saw them.

⑦ They existed around 200 million years ago, and we know about them because their bones have been preserved as fossils.


1806H1-38
① Acoustic concerns in school libraries are much more important and complex today than they were in the past.

② Years ago, before electronic resources were such a vital part of the library environment, we had only to deal with noise produced by people.

③ Today, the widespread use of computers, printers, and other equipment has added machine noise.

④ People noise has also increased, because group work and instruction are essential parts of the learning process.

⑤ So, the modern school library is no longer the quiet zone it once was.

⑥ Yet libraries must still provide quietness for study and reading, because many of our students want a quiet study environment.

⑦ Considering this need for library surroundings, it is important to design spaces where unwanted noise can be eliminated or at least kept to a minimum.


1806H1-39
① Of the many forest plants that can cause poisoning, wild mushrooms may be among the most dangerous.

② This is because people sometimes confuse the poisonous and edible varieties, or they eat mushrooms without making a positive identification of the variety.

③ Many people enjoy hunting wild species of mushrooms in the spring season, because they are excellent edible mushrooms and are highly prized.

④ However, some wild mushrooms are dangerous, leading people to lose their lives due to mushroom poisoning.

⑤ To be safe, a person must be able to identify edible mushrooms before eating any wild one.


1806H1-40
① Recent studies point to the importance of warm physical contact for healthy relationships with others.

② In one study, participants who briefly held a cup of hot (versus iced) coffee judged a target person as having a "warmer" personality (generous, caring); in another study, participants holding a hot (versus cold) pack were more likely to choose a gift for a friend instead of something for themselves.

③ These findings illustrate that mere contact experiences of physical warmth activate feelings of interpersonal warmth.

④ Moreover, this temporarily increased activation of interpersonal warmth feelings then influences judgments toward other people in an unintentional manner.

⑤ Such feelings activated in one context last for a while thereafter and have influence on judgment and behavior in later contexts without the person's awareness.


1806H1-4142
① Hundreds of thousands of people journeyed far to take part in the Canadian fur trade.

② Many saw how inhabitants of the northern regions stored their food in the winter ― by burying the meats and vegetables in the snow.

③ But probably few of them had thoughts about how this custom might relate to other fields.

④ One who did was a young man named Clarence Birdseye.

⑤ He was amazed to find that freshly caught fish and duck, frozen quickly in such a fashion, kept their taste and texture.

⑥ He started wondering: Why can't we sell food in America that operates on the same basic principle?

⑦ With this thought, the frozen foods industry was born.

⑧ He made something extraordinary from what, for the northern folk, was the ordinary practice of preserving food.

⑨ So, what went on in his mind when he observed this means of storage?

⑩ Something mysterious happened in his curious, fully engaged mind.

⑪ Curiosity is a way of adding value to what you see.

⑫ In the case of Birdseye, it was strong enough to lift him out of the routine way of seeing things.

⑬ It set the stage for innovation and discovery, for coming up with something new.


1806H1-4345
① There was a business executive who was deep in debt and could see no way out.

② He couldn't borrow more money from any bank, and couldn't pay his suppliers.

③ One day, he sat on a park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

④ Suddenly an old man appeared before him.

⑤ I can see that something is troubling you, he said.

⑥ After listening to the executive's worries, the old man said, "I believe I can help you.

⑦ "He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand.

⑧ He said, "Take this money.

⑨ Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time.

⑩ "Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

⑪ The executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world!

⑫ I can erase my money worries in an instant, he thought.

⑬ But instead, the executive decided to put the check in his safe.

⑭ Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his business, he thought.

⑮ Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

⑯ Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the check.

⑰ At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared.

⑱ But just then, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.

⑲ "I hope he hasn't been bothering you.

⑳ He's always escaping from the rest home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller," the nurse said.

㉑ The surprised executive just stood there.

㉒ Suddenly, he realized that it wasn't the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around.

㉓ It was his newfound self-confidence that enabled him to achieve anything he went after.
