12．I saw a dear friend a few days ago and stopped by to ask her how she was doing．She looked up，voice lowered，just complaining："I'm so busy…have so much going on．''
Almost immediately after，I ran into another friend and asked him how he was．Again，the same tone，the same response："I'm just so busy…got so much to do．"
Their responses knocked me down．How did we create a world in which we have more and more to do with less time for leisure，less time for reflection，less time for community？When did we forget that we are human beings，not human doings？What happened to a world in which we can sit with the people we love so much and have slow conversations with meaningful pauses and silences that we are in no rush to fill？
This disease of being"busy"is spiritually destructive to our health and well-being．It weakens our ability to be fully present with those we love the most in our families，and keeps us from forming the kind of community that we all so desperately tong for．
I don't have any magical solutions．All I know is that we are losing the ability to live a truly human life．I am always a prisoner of hope，but I wonder if we are willing to make a change to our so-called busyness of life．Somehow we need a different model of organizing our lives，our societies，and our families．
I want us to have a kind of existence where we can pause，look each other in the eye，touch one another，and ask ourselves：Here is how my heart is doing，I am taking the time to reflect on my own existence，and I know how to express the state of my heart．

29．What's the result of the busy lifestyle？C
A．People will become forgetful in their everyday life．
B．People are beginning to find some time for leisure．
C．People may lose the ability of enjoying their life．
D．People will further understand the importance of community．
30．How can we live a relaxed and balanced life according to the author？C
A．By seeking help from local families．
B．By improving our working ability．
C．By reconstructing the model of our lives．
D．By creating a smarter open community．
31．Calling himself a prisoner of hope，the author means thatD．
A．he thinks people won't change
B．he actually has magical solutions
C．it is harmful to have many hopes
D．he is always optimistic about life
32．What is the purpose of the author writing the article？B
A．To express concerns about people's complaints．
B．To criticize and reflect on the people's present lifestyle．
C．To voice his opinions on how to live a simple life．
D．To question whether it is possible to live a slow life．
2．______ his opinions more clearly，he used some body language．（　　）
A．ExpressB．ExpressingC．ExpressedD．To express

Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated，studies show that depression is a problem among everyone．Over any six-month period，between five to seven percent of the world's population will be suffering from a serious depression．
Suicide （自杀） rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme，or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large，and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks．People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping，getting up on time，and doing work unproductively．

In Western countries，people are not afraid to admit that they have depression，but most do not tell it to their boss，because they fear that their boss would fire them．
"In my experience，aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it，because they feel the most Secure about themselves．"an American doctor says．
