题目内容
17.In this modern world,activity and movement are the default modes(默认模式),if not with our bodies then at least with our minds,with our attention.We rush around all day,doing things,talking,emailing,sending and reading messages,clicking from browser tab (分页浏览器)to the next,one link to the next.We are always on,always connected,always thinking,always talking.There is no time for stillness-and sitting in front of a crazy computer all day,and then in front of the too active television,doesn't count as stillness.
This comes at a cost:we lose that time for deep thinking,for observing and listening.We lose peace.
And worse yet:all the rushing around is often agaist our will.I know,in our society action is all-important-inaction is seen as lazy and passive and unproductive.However,sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all.You can run around crazily,all sound and fury,but get nothing done.Or you can get a lot done-but nothing important.Or you can hurt things with your actions,make things worse than if you'd stayed still.
And when we are forced to be still-because we'e in line for something,or waiting at a doctor'appointment,or on a bus or train,we often get impatient and need to find something to do.Some of us will have our mobile devices,others will have a notebook or folder with things to do or read,others will move their bodies around.Being still isn't something we're used to.
Take a moment to think about how you spend your days-at work,after work,getting ready for work,evenings and weekends.Are you constantly rushing around?Are you constantly reading and answering messages,checking on the news and the latest stream of information?Are you always trying to Get Lots of Things Done,ticking off tasks from your list like a machine,rushing through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your life?
53.Which of the following is true,according to the passage?B
A.Doing nothing means happiness.
B.Modern people are not used to being still.
C.People tend to pretend to be busy sometimes.
D.Too much action is always better than no action.
54.The underlined"this"in the third paragraph probably meansA.
A.being unable to keep still B.sitting before a computer
C.always talking and thinking D.watching too much TV
55.Which of the following can be considered to be stillness according to the author?B
a.Thinking deeply about your life.
b.Listening to the world around you.
c.Reading about the news on the Internet.
d.Looking through an interesting story-book.
e.Feeling your breath coming in and going out.
A.a,b,d B.a,b,e C.a,c,e D.b,c,d
56.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?C
A.Howe to avoid restlessness and why.
B.Some advantages of less movement.
C.How to keep still and its good effect.
D.Some disadvantages of constant action.
