use `with` to open files #3

Use a context manager (with the with statement) to open files: https://github.com/tunaLandslide/HonorsContract/blob/7d98ccf87a8593f45be11f56e839f2aecfb3c598/mchain.py#L5

with open(file, 'r') as tex:
    ref = tex.read().split()

and tex.close() is not needed. See footnote on HW4, problem 4.4 in assignment_04.pdf

Btw, the same trick works for all other cases where you open a file.
