Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·四川省南充市第一次适应性考试)Nowadays more and more people are trapped in too busy work to relax themselves.We have no time to tell a bedtime story to our childrenons that used to guide and steady us—between Sunday and Monday,public and private,here and there-are gone.We have more ways to communicatebut less and less to say,partly because we’re so busy communicating.
Maybe that’s why more and more people I know,even if they have no religious commitment,seem to be turning to yoga,or meditation(打坐)(太极).Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sundayer spending time in quiet rural settings,subjects exhibit greater attentiveness,stronger memory and generally improved cognition.Their brains become both calmer and sharper.More than that,sympathy,as well as deep thought,depends on neural processes that are inherently slow,the very ones our highspeed lives have little time for.
In my own case,I often turn to unusual and extreme measures to try to keep my good sense and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all.I’ve not yet used a cellphone and I’ve never entered Facebook.I try not to go online till my day’s writing is finished,and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan.
None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主义):it’s just pure selfishness.Nothing makes me feel betterr and happier than being in one place,absorbed in a book,a conversation,a piece of music.It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness:it’s joyhappens”.That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for—The Joy of Quiet.【文章大意】 忙碌的工作使人难以放松而在安静的环境中度过时间会1.The writer sometimes doesn’t do anything because________.s makes no sense
