Passage 2

(安徽省蚌埠市2010届高三第三次质检)

In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading messages. We are always on ,always conected, always thinking, always talking. There is no　 36　 for stillness.

And when we are　 37　 to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often　 38　 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, other will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re　 39　 .

This comes at a 　40　 : we lose that time for　 41　 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.

And 　42　 yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crarily, but get　 43　 done.

Take a moment to think about　 44　 you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering　 45　 checking on the news and the latest tream of information? Are you always　 46　 through your schedule?

Is this how you want to spend your　 47　 ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be 　48　 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. 　49　 be in the moment.

Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d　 50　 it to be. See your life with less moveanent, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more　 51　 .

Then be that vision.

It’s prerty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. 　52　 you’re gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too　 53　 . slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 　54　 for it.
