“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”---Lao Tzu
If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesn’t control your life---you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. __【1】__
1. Do less.
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. __【2】__ Pick 2-3 important things--- or even just one important thing--- and work on those first. Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.
【3】__
Meeting are usually a “big waste of time”. And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.
3. Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.
When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: __【4】__What would happen if I stopped doing them?
4. Practice mindfulness.
__【5】__ Don’t care so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.
Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.
A. Have fewer meetings.
B. How necessary are these things?
C. Simply learn to live in the present.
D. Focus not on quantity but on quality
E. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.
F. The world likely won’t end if you don’t pass one of the examinations.
G. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.
题目解答
答案
【答案】
【1】G
【2】D
【3】A
【4】B
【5】C
【解析】
本文告诉我们生活不要太匆忙，要让自己适当地闲下来，把生活中的那些不是很重要的事情放在一边，或者就是不要去做。
【1】G 根据上句I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide可知我不会给你一步步地指导，而是给你一些也许你会采纳和考虑的建议。故G项符合上下文。
【2】D 根据后句Pick 2-3 important things--- or even just one important thing--- and work on those first.说明把一些小的，不是很重要的事情放在以后再做。也就是把重要的事情先做起来，我们关注的是质量而不是数量。故D项正确。
【3】A 根据本段第一句Meeting are usually a “big waste of time”.作者认为开会是浪费时间，所以建议我们少开会。故A项即为文章的中心思想。
【4】B 本段的中心思想是“Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.”推迟或取消那些不必要的事情。当我们开始做某件事情之前，我们要问自己：这样做有必要吗？如果我不去做，会发生什么样的事情？所以B项与本段中心思想相一致。
【5】C 根据横线后半句“Don’t care so much about future or the past.”“不要太在意过去或者未来”可知作者建议我们要活在当下。故C项为文章的中心思想。
