第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
   阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
                                            A
     Two of the saddest words in the English language are “ if only” . I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words , because they convey regret , lost opportunities , mistakes , and disappointment .
     My father is famous in our family for saying , “ Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule . When my children were young and likely to cause accidents , I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “ if only ” moment , whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a computer , or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table .
     I don’t only avoid those “ if only” moments when it comes to safety . It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships . We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “ I love you” or “ I forgive you” . When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday , I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be there . But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him . I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all .
     I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “ if only” about something , but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality（可能发生的事） . And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right , or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection , I know that I’m doing the right thing . I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being .
