一、完形填空
　　Carl Walter was my piano teacher. In one of my lessons he asked me how long I 　1　 playing the piano each time. I said three or four hours a day.
“Then how often do you practice ”
“About four times a week.”
“Well,” he said loudly,“when you grow up, you won’t have so much 　2　 time. You can 　3　 five or ten minutes before school, after lunch or after doing chores. If you make full use of the fragment of time (碎片时间) to practice, piano-playing will become a part of your 　4　.”At that time, I was seven years old. The way he told me got out of my 　5　 as soon as that piano lesson was over.
Several years later, I became a 　6　 in Columbia. I had an interest in writing and I always dreamed of writing something. But I had to mark the students’ homework, prepare for 　7　 and take part in committee meetings. For about two years I 　8　 wrote nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time.
Then I 　9　 what Carl Walter had said. During the next week, I 　10　 the way he told me. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my surprise, at the end of that week I had written several thousand words, and later on I wrote several novels in the same way. 　11　 I was busier than ever, there were still free moments for 　12　. I even took up piano-playing again, finding that thirty minutes a time could be 　13　 for both writing and piano practicing.
Carl Walter has made a great 　14　 to my life. Because of him, I realized that even very short periods of time could add up to all 　15　 hours I need.
