I always try to live by the extra minute ruleWhen my children were young and likely to cause accidents，I always thought

20、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 counter，or something that required a little more work such as taping padding （衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table I dont only avoid those if onl

27、est WordsC. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of MindCAbout 3 years earlier, a funny thing happened about Chinas first female Nobel Prize winner, Tu Youyou, giving her acceptance speech in Sweden. When that speech reached her home country, two entirely different versions appeared, and the false one
