We spend our leisure hours efficiently for higher production, live by the clock even when time does not matter, modernize our homes and speed the machinery of living in order that we can go to the most places and do the most things in the shortest period of time possible. We try to eat, sleep, and talk efficiently. Even on holidays and Sundays, the efficient man relaxes on timetable with one eye on the clock and the other on an appointment sheet.
To squeeze the most out of each shining hour we have shortened the opera, quickened the pace of the movie and put culture in pocket-sized packages. We make the busy bee look like a lazy creature, the ant like a
sluggard
. We live sixty-mile-minute and the great efficiency smiles.
We wish we could return to that
pleasant day
when we considered time a friend instead of an enemy; when we did things willingly and because we wanted to, rather than because our timetable called for it, But that of course would not be efficiency; and we Americans must be efficient.
The "pleasant day" to which the author refers was the period when we ______
选项
A、did not feel guilty about wasting time
B、were able to act of our own free will
C、seemed to have better weather
D、did not have so many enemies
