“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.
⒈Do less.
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Pick 2-3 important things--- or even just one important thing--- and work on those first. Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.
⒉Meeting are usually a “big waste of time”. And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.
⒊Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.
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:What would happen if I stopped doing them?
⒋Practice mindfulness.
Don't care 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. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.
A. Have fewer meetings.
B. How necessary are these things?
C. Simply learn to live in the present.
D. Focus not on quantity but on quality
E. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.
F. The world likely won't end if you don't pass one of the examinations.
G. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.

Answer 1

【答案】G；D；A；B；C
【解析】本文是一篇議論文，告訴我們生活不要太匆忙，要讓自己適當地閑下來，把生活中的那些不是很重要的事情放在一邊，或者就是不要去做。
（1）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據空前”I'm not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide“可知我不會給你一步步地指導，而是給你一些也許你會采納和考慮的建議。故G項符合上下文。
（2）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據空后”Pick 2-3 important things--- or even just one important thing--- and work on those first.“說明把一些小的，不是很重要的事情放在以后再做。也就是把重要的事情先做起來，我們關注的是質量而不是數量。故D項正確。
（3）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據空后”Meeting are usually a ‘big waste of time’”.作者認為開會是浪費時間，所以建議我們少開會。故A項即為文章的中心思想。
（4）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。本段的中心思想是“Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.”推遲或取消那些不必要的事情。當我們開始做某件事情之前，我們要問自己：這樣做有必要嗎？如果我不去做，會發(fā)生什么樣的事情？所以B項與本段中心思想相一致。
（5）考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據空后“Don't care so much about future or the past.”“不要太在意過去或者未來”可知作者建議我們要活在當下。故C項為文章的中心思想。
