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、The possibility of ruining her family.
B、Becoming aware of her declining health.
C、The fatigue from living a fast-paced life.
D、Reading a book about slowing down.
答案
D
解析
浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的ruining her family,her declining health,fast-paced life,slowing down等词可以推测,该题应该和生活方式带来的影响和问题有关,可能涉及某人的心态转变、生活中遇到的问题等。题干问的是什么让讲话者改变了自己的生活方式。文中提及,后来有一天,讲话者偶然发现一本叫作《慢活》的书,然后她才意识到忙碌不仅有害,而且还可能会把生命变成一场无休止的比赛,故答案为D(读到一本与慢节奏生活有关的书)。A项(可能会毁了自己的家庭)和C项(快节奏生活带来的疲惫)在文中均未提及,故排除。B项(意识到健康受到损害)不是直接原因,文中提到尽管人们知道快节奏有害健康一,但人们仍然没有改变快节奏的生活方式,讲话人是读了《慢活》后才决定改变快节奏生活方式的,故排除B项。
