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 started to follow the cultural norms.
B、She came to enjoy doing everyday tasks.
C、She learned to use more polite expressions.
D、She stopped using to-do lists and calendars.
答案
B
解析
浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的she,follow the cultural norms,enjoy,learned,stopped等动词词组及过去式可以推测,该题应该和某人过去做的事有关,可能涉及她的生活方式、做事习惯等。题干问的是讲话者改变自己的生活方式后发生了什么。文中提到,讲话者认为这并不意味着她的待办事项列表已不存在,而是自己意识到了放慢速度的重要性,并确保每天都享受日常活动,故答案为B(她开始享受每天的任务)。文中提及,从现在开始,当有人问你的生活如何时,试着回答“令人兴奋”或“很有趣”,而不是千篇一律地遵循文化习惯说“我很忙”,故排除A项(她开始遵循文化习惯)。C项(她学习使用更礼貌的表达方式)属于无中生有,故排除。D项(她不再使用待办事项列表)不符合文章内容,故排除。
