How often do you say to people “I’m busy” or “I haven’t got time for that”? [12] It’s an inevitable truth that all of us live a life in the fast lane, even though we know that being busy is not always particularly healthy.
Growing up in New Zealand, everything was always calm and slow. People enjoyed the tranquility of a slower pace of life. [13] But after I moved to Tokyo and lived there for a number of years, I got used to having a pile of to-do lists, and my calendar always looked like a mess with loads of things to do written across it. I found myself filling my time up with endless work meetings and social events, rushing along as busy as a bee.
[14] Then, one day I came across a book called In Praise of Slowness and realized that being busy is not only detrimental but also has the danger of turning life into an endless race. So, I started practicing the various practical steps mentioned by the author in the book, and began to revolt against the very idea of being too busy. [15] It doesn’t mean that my to-do lists no longer exist, but I’ve become more aware of the importance of slowing down, and making sure that I enjoy the daily activities as I carry them out. From now on, when someone asks you how your life is, try responding with words like “exciting” and “fun”, instead of the cultural norm that says “busy”. See if your experience of tranquility that follows.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12.What does the speaker think is an inevitable truth?
13.What does the speaker say about her life in Tokyo?
14.What made the speaker change her lifestyle?
15.What happened after the speaker changed her lifestyle?
选项
A、She had trouble balancing family and work.
B、She enjoyed the various social events.
C、She was accustomed to tight schedules.
D、She spent all her leisure time writing books.
答案
C
解析
浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的she,had trouble balancing,enjoyed,was accustomed to,tight schedules,spent,writing books等词可以推测,该题应该和某人过去做的事有关,可能涉及她的兴趣爱好、生活习惯等。题干问的是讲话者如何评价她在东京的生活。文中提及,讲话者搬到东京,在那里住了好几年之后,她习惯了有一堆待办事项的清单,日程表看起来总是乱七八糟的。无尽的工作会议和社交活动填满了她的时间,她像蜜蜂一样忙碌,故答案为C(她习惯了把行程表安排得满满当当)。A项(她无法平衡家庭和工作)、B项(她很享受不同的社交活动)和D项(她用所有业余时间来写书)在文中均未提及,故排除。
