题目内容

  I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession(职业) stand in the way of being a good parent.

  I no longer consider myself as the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.

  So here’s what I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

  It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist(存在) instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what , today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.

  I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.

  By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do you will live it with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.

1.The best title of his passage probably is________.

A.Love Your Friends        B. Live a Real Life

C. Don’t Waste Time        D. Be a Good Mother and Wife

2.How did the author form her view of life?

A.Through social experience.     B. By learning from her friends.

C.Through an unfortunate experience.  D. From her children and husband.

3.By the sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tend to _______.

A.make a living rather than live a real life  B.work rather than enjoy life       

C.waste a lot in life          D.forget the most important lesson in life

4. What’s the author’s attitude(态度) toward work?

A.Do it well to serve others.    

B. Earn enough money to make life better.

        Getting to Now: How to Beat the Procrastination Habit

  I am a procrastinator(拖拉者). I always have been. I've tried all sorts of things to beat the habit. Here are some techniques I've been using to try to force myself to get to now:

  Set aside blocks of time to do things. When I was talking with my wellness coach earlier this year, she asked me why I didn't exercise more often. “  ,” I said. “Something always comes up.” She wasn’t impressed. “J.D.,” she said, “You have to make time. Make an appointment with yourself to run or to go for a bike ride.” The same principle applies to other things you might procrastinate.

    . Often I’ll be sitting on the back porch reading a book, and it will occur to me that some chore needs to be done — mending the fence, for example. “  ,” I tell myself. Wrong! What usually happens is that I forget to write it down, and even if I do, I just look at the list and procrastinate for weeks on end. The best move is to actually do the chore when I think of it. (Assuming, of course, that I have the time at that moment,which I usually do.)

  Use a timer to bring you back to reality. Part of the reason I procrastinate is that I'm a daydreamer.    . One way to keep on track is to use a timer. I use the Ultrak Jumbo Countdown Timer, but not as often as I should. I set it for 48 minutes. When it goes off,    : Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing?

  Do not multitask. I often start many things at once, but I never actually do any of them. In order for me to get something done, I need to focus my attention on it. Trying to do several things at once is a sure way to be sure they'll all be unfinished tomorrow.

  A. I’m always lost in thought

  B. it brings me back to reality

  C. If it comes to mind, then do it

  D. I don’t have the time

  E. it serves as an instant reality check

  F. Do it right away if you are asked to do something

  G. I need to write that down so I can remember it
