Question

【题目】七选五

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Most of us lead a busy life. 1 We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy”, or “If I could get a better job, then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now?

Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings. 2 “There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!” And as Brodersen explains, “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend’ s smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”

Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress. Take me for example. 3 One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.

Thirdly, don’ t take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them? 4 As Wayne Lawton explains, “Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what’ s in it for me? Happiness is found in putting other’ s interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness is a dead-end street.” 5

A. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone.

B. Driven by the “urgent”, we forget to enjoy life.

C. In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels.

D. So please treasure relationship.

E. Be aware of beauty in nature.

F. You don’ t need to travel far to find beauty.

G. I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.
