"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. ，，一Lao Tzu If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don't have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush-hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and discon?nected sometimes. Your environment doesn't control your life―you do. I'm not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower.1

1. Do less.

Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity but on quality. 2Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.

2. Have fewer meetings.

3  And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.

3. 4

When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don't get done. And you need to ask yourself: How necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?

4.Practise mindfulness.

Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about fu?ture or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your sur?roundings, no matter where you are.

Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. 5 .

A. Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.

B. Meetings are usually a "big waste of time".

C. The world likely won't end if you don't pass one of the exams.

D.But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt(采纳)，if they work for your life.

E. Remember the quote ： if nature can get everything done without rus?hing, so can you.

F. Pick 2〜3 important things―or even just one important thing―and work on those first.

     G. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there,

Answer 1

〖能力提升】

 [文章大意]你是否觉得每天都忙忙碌碌、疲于奔命却发现没有时间做自己想做的事？你是否觉得每天就像和时间赛跑，却没有时间体会生命的美好？如果是这样，这篇文章会告诉你如何才能不匆忙，却拥有快乐的、高质量的工作和生活。

1. D考査上下文的语境理解能力。前一句的意思是：你的环境不会控制你的生活，控制生活的是你自己。这里我不会告诉你如何一步步地去做才能慢下来。所以这里应该选D(而是请你考虑一些事，如果有效果就采纳）。

2. F考査上下文的语境理解能力。前一句的意思是：重质量而不是数量。后一句是：把那些小的日常生活中的琐事推迟一下。所以选F(挑选2〜3件重要的事做，甚至一件重要的事，先做这些）。

3.B考查上下文的语境理解能力。第二条的小标题是"少一些约会"。空后的意思是：这些应酬把你想做的事给挤掉了，使你很匆忙。B的意思（约会通常很浪费时间）与此一致。

4. A考查上下文的语境理解能力。第三条的标题应该和段落的内容相一致。段落内容是：当你集中精力做一些重要的事情时，有些事就会被落下，那就要分析哪些事可以往后拖一拖。所以选A(开始推迟或取消不必要的事）。

5. E考查上下文的语境理解能力。这里是总结前文，所以选E(记住这一信条：如果大自然能把一切做得井井有条而不匆忙，你也行）。
