SIM Card Cutter
Change regular SIM cards to smaller SIM cards.
Did you know you can cut a regular size phone SIM card to a smaller size SIM card and it will still work? This tool will help you do it. Just stick a SIM card in it, press it down like a stapler(订书机). A perfectly shaped smaller SIM is there. I’ve used it many times when swapping SIMs from one phone to another.
03/7/17-- Mark Frauenfelder Profi Cheese Slicer
Uses a thin wire to slice up to medium-hard cheeses in four inch sections. I may own every cheese slicer ever made. I prefer a wire type cheese cutter so I can cut slices that work well on a piece of bread and sandwich.
This cheese slicer is great for both tasks. It even has adjustable tension on the two cutting wires. A point of information: I did break a wire cutting a very hard piece of cheese with black pepper. Good news, the wire is replaceable, and I was able to purchase new wires to fix it. Maybe best to use on softer cheeses. Lessons learned. But, highly recommended for every other use except for those extremely hard cheeses. 03/6/17-- Kent Barnes Ash Bucket(桶子)
Bucket with lid keeps your fireplace(壁炉) clear of ashes.
I purchased this ash bucket recommended by my friend and have found it invaluable. Previously I had an old bucket that got left outside and usually filled up with rain

and became a mess to clean. This ash bucket has a raised bottom and thermal insulation(隔热层) to prevent any accidental hot coals in your ash to damage your floor or cause a fire. You can store this bucket indoors since the lid is nice and tight.

B
I wrote a business plan the other day. I gave it to my husband for suggestions. After reading it, he said, “I don’t think this is up to your usual standards.” I said, “I need more information. What doesn’t work?” He said he wasn’t sure. I then took the letter and reread it.
He asked, “How about if I look at it again and make notes between the space?” I agreed. A half hour later I looked at his notes and told him he didn’t understand the situation and what I really wanted to express. He shrugged (耸肩) and said OK. I took the letter and went back to my computer and again revised. As I was writing, I could see my letter improving based on his suggestions. When I finished, I proudly handed the letter back to my husband. He read it for the third time and said, “It’s still not right but I couldn’t exactly say.” I was a little annoyed and then told him I was the writer and I had seen some goofy letters he sent out. But I picked up my letter and went back to the computer.
After an hour of revisions, I went back to my husband apologetically with letter in hand. I told him I was sorry for what I’d said and asked if he would please read the letter again because I did value his contribution. Being a very patient and
B. It is waterproof. D. It is of no value.

kind-hearted fellow, he once again read my letter and declared that it was fine. This all leads me to the following: When you ask for advice on a project, be appreciative and grateful. Understand that the advice and suggestions you get may be negative. Understand that it may mean more work for you. And keep in mind that the final responsibility for the project is still yours. So be modest and thankful even if he or she has noted some problems.
24．Why did the author give her business plan to her husband at first? A. To show off her excellent work. B. To have him type it on the computer.
C. To ask him to make some changes from all details. D. To ask him to give her some advice.
25．The author’s husband shrugged after hearing her words because he ________. A. believed in his judgement but couldn’t find why B. knew there was nothing wrong in the business plan C. doubted about himself since he found no excuses D. believed he himself was right and knew the roots
26．We can infer from the passage that the author’s husband was _________. A. selfish, proud and determined B. good at expressing himself C. honest, kind and patient D. humorous, active and careful
27．The author wants to tell us that if you ask for suggestions, ________. A. do accept all suggestions from the givers B. don’t get upset if some are negative C. do keep silent before taking action D. do be grateful and confident
