How often do you say to people “I’m busy” or “I haven’t got time for that”? [12] It’s an inevitable truth that all of us live a life in the fast lane, even though we know that being busy is not always particularly healthy.
Growing up in New Zealand, everything was always calm and slow. People enjoyed the tranquility of a slower pace of life. [13] But after I moved to Tokyo and lived there for a number of years, I got used to having a pile of to-do lists, and my calendar always looked like a mess with loads of things to do written across it. I found myself filling my time up with endless work meetings and social events, rushing along as busy as a bee.
[14] Then, one day I came across a book called In Praise of Slowness and realized that being busy is not only detrimental but also has the danger of turning life into an endless race. So, I started practicing the various practical steps mentioned by the author in the book, and began to revolt against the very idea of being too busy. [15] It doesn’t mean that my to-do lists no longer exist, but I’ve become more aware of the importance of slowing down, and making sure that I enjoy the daily activities as I carry them out. From now on, when someone asks you how your life is, try responding with words like “exciting” and “fun”, instead of the cultural norm that says “busy”. See if your experience of tranquility that follows.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12.What does the speaker think is an inevitable truth?
13.What does the speaker say about her life in Tokyo?
14.What made the speaker change her lifestyle?
15.What happened after the speaker changed her lifestyle?
选项
A、Living a life in the fast lane leads to success.
B、We are always in a rush to do various things.
C、The search for tranquility has become a trend.
D、All of us actually yearn for a slow and calm life.
答案
B
解析
浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的living a life,fast lane,in a rush,slow and calm life等词可以推测,该题应该和生活方式有关,可能涉及快节奏生活和慢节奏生活。题干问的是讲话者认为什么是一件不可避免的事实。文中开头说到,我们所有人都生活在“快车道”上,尽管我们知道忙碌并不总是特别健康,这是一个不可避免的事实,故答案为B(我们总是急着去做各种事情)。A项(快节奏的生活可以取得成功)属于无中生有,故排除。C项(寻找平静成为了一种趋势)和D项(我们都渴望慢节奏、宁静的生活)在文中并未提及,故排除。
