In this modern world, we rush around all day with no time for stillness. And when we are 48 to be still, we're in line for something, or waiting at a doctor's appointment, or on a bus or train. This comes at a 49 : we lose that time for consideration, for observing and listening. We lose peace. And 50 yet: sometimes no action is better than too much action at all. You can run around crazily, but get nothing done. Take a moment to think about how you spend your days? Are you always 51 through your schedule? Is this how you want to spend your life? If not, take a moment to be still. Don't think about what you have to do, or what you've done already. 52 be in the moment. Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your 53 , and how you'd like it to be. See your life with less movement and less rushing. See it with more stillness and more peace. It's pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. Once you've got 54 to that, try doing less each day. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of waiting for it. Value the stillness. It's a treasure and it's 55 to us, always. 小题1: A．forced B．ordered C．invited D．told 小题2: A．cost B．risk C．loss D．danger 小题3: A．later B．worse C．better D．deeper 小题4: A．breaking B．rushing C．living D．going 小题5: A．Nearly B．Ever C．Just D．Already 小题6: A．life B．belief C．road D．future 小题7: A．addicted B．accustomed C．permitted D．ready 小题8: A．available B．convenient C．potential D．reasonable
