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．
19．Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver．The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman．
Thirty years have passed，but Odland can't get the memory out of his mind，nor the woman's kind reaction．She was shocked，regained calmness and，in a kind voice，told the young Odland．"It's OK．It wasn't your fault．"When she left the restaurant，she also left the future Fortune 500CEO with a life lesson：You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter．
Odland isn't the only CEO to have made this discovery．Rather，it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up．It's hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything，but most agree with the Waiter Rule．They say how others treat the CEO says nothing．But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul．
Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like，"I could buy this place and fire you，"or"I know the owner and I could have you fired．"Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power．
The CEO who came up with it，or at least first wrote it down，is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson．He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management．
"A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter，or to others，is not a nice person，"Swanson says．"I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables．"

32．What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman's dress？D
A．He was fired．
B．He was blamed．
C．The woman left the restaurant at once．
D．The woman comforted him．
33．Odland learned one of his life lessons fromD．
A．an interesting best-selling book
B．the advice given by the CEOs
C．an article in Fortune
D．his experience as a waiter
34．According to the text，most CEOs have the same opinion aboutB．
A．Fortune 500companies
B．the Waiter Rule
C．Swanson's book
D．the Management Rules
35．From the text we can learn thatA．
A．one should respect others no matter who they are
B．CEOs often show their power before others
C．one should be nicer to important people
D．CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants．
9．Depression （抑郁症） is a serious problem today．Depression causes workers to be unproductive，causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars．One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is"widespread，costly and deadly"．Depression hits one person in five around the world．
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．
Depression，which researchers agree，has its origin in the genes，brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently．
Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese inability to face it．Many people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy．Besides，there is no good treatment，with few specialists available．
"Most patients in China just don't get help，"a Chinese doctor says．"In my hospital，I have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning，just have time to say‘Hello，how do you feel？'"
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．
Hopefully，in the near future，people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment．
