阅读理解。     Sitting is an art that isn"t getting passed along. People these
days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not
working,they are jogging,or playing tennis or golf,or taking courses
to improve their minds or bodies-or they are parked in front of the
TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn"t sitting-it"s watching.
       People used to sit a whole lot. They would walk down the street
or drive down the road,and there they would be,out on the doorsteps,
sitting. They could go down to the store and sit on the bench
out in the summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting
benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were
straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tires and spare
parts,they could kick back and sit.
     Houses used to have sitting rooms,where the grown-ups would
go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby
would sit and digest(消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt
Ethel"s illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the
children would play,and the afternoon could pass by in a comfortable
haze (悠闲的氛围) .
   That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging
battery (正充电的电池) doesn"t look as if it"s doing anything either.
Sitting restores your soul. If you want to enjoy a truly full life,
don"t just do something-sit there.1. What message does the author try to get through to us?   A. People should make better use of their sitting room.

felt comfortable ,regardless of their circumstances," Birky says. SAME"s special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers. The cafe now averages 65 to 70
customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be
spreading. In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said
goodbye to the Birkys," He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane clear up," says
Birky. 68.What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?
