【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的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。

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” ---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 disconnected 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. 2 Save 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.

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. Practice mindfulness.

Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future 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 surroundings, no matter where you are.

Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed.

5

A. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.

B. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.

C. Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”.

D. Pick 2—3 important things---or even just one important thing---and work on those first.

E. The world likely won’t end if you don’t pass one of the examinations.

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

G. Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.

【题目】The Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England, is the best place in Europe for discovering dinosaur bones. Dinosaur Farm Museum was established in 1993. Since then, the museum has introduced the study of old bones to many more people.

What we offer

Visitors can enjoy our displays, or watch us cleaning dinosaur bones and other fossils found on the island’s beaches.

The museum has a variety of different fossils, many of them never displayed to the public before. As more are discovered all the time, you can be sure of seeing something new each time you visit.

We have a free Fossil Identification Service, so you can bring in any fossils you have and find out what they are. In addition, we have a reasonably-priced Museum Shop, where you can buy a souvenir of your visit. You could also bring a picnic and relax in our special picnic area.

Activities

Fossil hunts are organized from the museum and run all year round. Groups of up to 25 are guided on a local beach where they can search for fossils. All these hunts are fully licensed and insured, and guides can help to identify any fossils found and point out things of interest.

Due to the popularity of these hunts, all trips must be booked by a personal visit to Dinosaur Farm Museum.

Did you know…?

The BBC programme “Live from Dinosaur Island” was filmed along the coast here, and Dinosaur Farm Museum was the base for the television crew.
