“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” ---Lao Tzu
If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesn’t control your life---you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. 1
1. Do less.
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity but on quality. 2 Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.
2. Have fewer meetings.
3 And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.
3. 4
When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?
4. Practice mindfulness.
Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.
Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed.
5 | A．Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary. | | B．Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”. | | C．The world likely won’t end if you don’t pass one of the examinations. | | D．But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life. |
E. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.
F. Pick 2—3 important things---or even just one important thing---and work on those first.
G. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there. |
答案
小题1:D
小题2:F
小题3:B
小题4:A
小题5:E |
解析
试题分析：本文告诉我们生活不要太匆忙，要让自己适当地闲下来，把生活中的那些不是很重要的事情放在一边，或者就是不要去做。
小题1:D 根据上句I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide可知我不会给你一步步地指导，而是给你一些也许你会采纳和考虑的建议。故D项符合上下文。
小题2:F 根据下一句Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day说明把一些小的，不是很重要的事情放在以后再做，故F项，也就是把重要的事情先做起来，故F项正确。
小题3:B 根据上一句Have fewer meetings说明要我们少开会，那么这一句就应该是说明开会的坏处，故B项符合上下文。
小题4:A 根据本段there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?说明我们要把那些不是很重要的事情推迟到以后再做，甚至是把那些不需要的事情取消掉。
小题5:E 本句与本文的第一句“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” ---Lao Tzu
形成呼应的关系，故E项符合上下文。
点评：本文告诉我们要让自己的生活不是那么第匆忙，从题目设置的角度看，本题侧重对学生把握文章中心段落和各段落的中心句的能力的考查，所以遇到这类题后，要注意把握好文章结构，了解文章中心意思，找到各段落中心句。不要让文中的一些生词影响了注意力。 |

1 Men lie; women lie．Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie．A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week．
Dr．Robert G．Newby, a professor of sociology , believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women．"Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that," he says．"And they want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good. 2 ”
Women, on the other hand, Dr．Newby believes, are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face．Women are more easily hurt and they are not as likely to try to cheat like men．
Psychotherapist Vesta Callender also agrees that men and women do lie differently．" 3 They plan better," Callender notes. "They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end. " Callender believes that men tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation. 4
Dr Elmore stresses that while it is true that most people lie from time to time, one should be truthful.
" 5 Everything that is true does not need to be said, but everything said needs to be true," he says.| A．Be truthful at any cost. | | B．Men also lie to each other. | | C．Everyone lies from time to time. | | D．Women are much more careful in their lies. |
E. Men think less about how the lie can be detected.
F. He lies about almost everything, even when he doesn"t have to.
G. Men are more likely to step outside of their relationships than women. |

I went to a shop to buy a jacket one Sunday. It is famous one where there are a variety of clothes. I looked all around and finally find an attractive jacket. When I was asked the price, the assistant said, "Seventy dollars." He added that if I paid by cash, he would give me a discount – ten percent off the fixing price. I thought it was so expensive and started to leave. As I was left, he grabbed me and said, "Okay. Forty-five dollars." Delighting, I bought the jacket. However, when I got home and tried on my new jacket, I realized that anything was wrong with it. It had a pocket where wouldn"t open. I was speechless and looked at it in amazement. |
下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Kripke’s Research Tool
B. Dangers of Habitual Shortages of Sleep
C. Classification of Sleep Problems
D. A Way of Overcoming Insomnia
E. Sleep Problems of Long and Short Sleepers
F. Oversleeping — Too Much of a Good Thing
小题1:______
Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known, new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
小题2:______
Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep, as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
小题3:______
Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic(慢性的) shortages of sleep — for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
小题4:______
For the current report, Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires, in which participants indicated how mush they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems. Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night, arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep, and having tiredness interfere with day-to-day functioning.
小题5:______
Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours. In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence, he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed. “It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake,” he said. |
