    I must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the
easy carelessness of  youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years
later, and ever since have been of great value to me.
Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.
"Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?"
"I try to."
"Well, don't," he exclaimed. "When you grow up, time won't come in long stretches.    Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life."
When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano--playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.
There is an important trick in this time--using formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes for writing, you can't afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.
I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I plunge（投入）in without delay.
56．The meaning of “stretch” in the underlined part is the same as that in sentence “       ”.
A．The forests in the north of the province stretch for hundreds of miles.
B．Bob worked as a government official for a stretch of over twenty years.
C．My family wasn’t wealthy by any stretch of the imagination.

B．is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavy
C．has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novels

There was a painter who was known for his painting skills. One day this skilled artist met a beautiful woman. He fell in love with her at first sight. Then he showered her with kindness and words of praise until she consented（同意）to be his wife.

Not long after they were married, however, the beautiful woman found when he admired her classic beauty; it was as if he was standing in front of a work of art rather than in front of a human being. He expressed his great desire to paint her rare beauty.

“Please sit for me in the workroom,” he pleaded (請求). “and I will make your beauty immortal (永恒的). The work will be my masterpiece (杰作).”

So the beautiful young woman sat patiently in his room, complaining nothing. Day after day she sat obediently, because she loved him and she hoped that he would see her love in her smile and obedience.

She sometimes wanted to tell him, “Please love me as a person rather than an object!” But she said nothing.

Hour after hour, day after day, the artist became so absorbed (投入的) in his work that he didn’t  notice that his wife was becoming weak and unhappy.

Finally when he finished his work, he cried. Because when he turned to his beloved wife he found that she was dead.
