Question

【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。

Today our life and work rarely feel light or pleasant. Instead, the whole experience of being alive begins to melt into one enormous obligation(责任). 【1】____

We say this to one another with great pride. 【2】 We are unavailable to our friends and family, unable to find time for the sunset, to finish off our obligations without time for a single mindful breath. This seems to have become the model of a successful life.

Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We lose the relaxation that gives us help. 【3】 Poisoned by the belief that good things come only through tireless effort, we never truly rest. This is not the world we dreamed of when we were young. But how did we get so terribly rushed in a world filled with work and responsibility, yet it lacks joy and delight?

【4】 Sunday is the time to enjoy and celebrate what is beautiful and good, time to sing songs, give thanks, and walk. It is time to be refreshed as we stop our work, our chores and our important projects.

Sunday is more than the absence of work. Many of us, in our desperate drive to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, feel terrible guilty when we take time to rest. 【5】 Many of us still recall when, not long ago, shops and offices were closed on Sundays. Those quiet Sunday afternoons are deep in our cultural memory.

A. We also miss the quiet that gives us wisdom.

B. All span>work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

C. It becomes the standard greeting everywhere, “I am so busy.”

D. We work through day and night, feeling rather exhausted.

E. But the Sunday has proven its wisdom over the ages.

F. The reason is simple: we have forgotten the Sunday.

G. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others.

【解析】

试题分析：在现代生活中人们越来越忙，甚至休息都会感觉愧疚。在文章中，作者告诉我们劳逸结合更重要。

【1】C 根据本段第一句Today our life and work rarely feel light or pleasant.可知人们的现代生活总是很忙碌，很难感觉到轻松愉悦。所以C项It becomes the standard greeting everywhere, “I am so busy.”我很忙已经成为一个常见的问候语了。故C项与本段中心思想一致。

【2】G 根据本段最后一句This seems to have become the model of a successful life.忙碌似乎成为了成功生活的标准一样，我们越忙越感觉到自己对他人对自己来说越重要。故G项与本段中心思想一致。

【3】A 根据前一句We lose the relaxation that gives us help.忙碌的生活让我们失去了放松，而放松可以给我们带来帮助。我们也错过了放松带来的宁静。这宁静也可以给我们带来智慧。本句要讨论的和前面一句中的relaxation是一样的类别。故A正确。

【4】F 根据横线后一句Sunday is the time to enjoy and celebrate what is beautiful and good, time to sing songs, give thanks, and walk.周日是我们享受生活，庆贺生命中美好事物的时候。但是忙碌的生活让我们忘记了这些。故F项与本段主题一致。

【5】E 根据横线前句Many of us, in our desperate drive to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, feel terrible guilty when we take time to rest.很多追求成功的人感觉如果我们花时间休息，会很愧疚。实际上，周日休息是可以提高我们的工作效率的，对我们的工作是有好处的。劳逸结合效率高。且E项与横线后一句Many of us still recall when, not long ago, shops and offices were closed on Sundays.相一致。故E正确。
