In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading messages. We are always on ,always conected, always thinking, always talking. There is no  36  for stillness.

And when we are  37  to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often  38  something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, other will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re  39  .

This comes at a   40  : we lose that time for  41  , for observing and listening. We lose peace.

And   42  yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crarily, but get  43  done.

Take a moment to think about  44  you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering  45  checking on the news and the latest tream of information? Are you always  46  through your schedule?

Is this how you want to spend your  47  ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be   48  . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already.   49  be in the moment.

Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d  50  it to be. See your life with less moveanent, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more  51  .

Then be that vision.

It’s prerty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day.   52  you’re gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too  53  . slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of   54  for it.

Have you ever heard of the saying, “If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well”? The proverb is a piece of  36  to make efforts towards perfection in whichever job one does.

Aesthetic（審美的）thought of a distinctively modern art emerged during the 18^th century.

Various issues__53__to the philosophy of nature have had a(n) __54__ impact on the orientation of 20^th-century aesthetics. Foremost among these are problems relating to the theory of art as form and__55__ the distinction between representation and expression.

In recent years there has also been an increasing preoccupation with art as the prime object of critical judgment. Corresponding to the trend in contemporary aesthetic thought, __58__have followed either of the two approaches. In one, criticism is __59__ to the analysis and interpretation of the work of art. __60__, it is devoted to expressing the response to the aesthetic object and to justifying a particular way of perceiving it.

Over the years, aesthetics has developed into a broad __61__ of knowledge and inquiry. The __62__ of contemporary aesthetics include such problems as the nature of style and its aesthetic significance; the relation of aesthetic judgment to __63__; the viability(可行性) of a history of art; the significance of Freudian psychology and other forms of psychological study to criticism; and the place of aesthetic judgment in __64__ reasoning in the conduct of everyday affairs.

    Life brings ups and downs, but some people   42   the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel   43   . No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.

    When you   44   with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.   45   the dagger （匕首）of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that brings you   46  .

Sometimes we have no   47   but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case,   48   what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to   49   your anger back to the negative person,   50   all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel   51   of themselves about that.

    Negativity often   52   happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can attach to you throughout the   53   of your day, which makes you feel bad and   54   your happiness. Life is too   55   to feel negative.  Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m   36  .” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things off !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   37  .

These comments may come from stories about us that have been   38   for years—often from   39   childhood. These stories may have no basis in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作機(jī)械的) skills, and you will  40   have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations   41   my development? I was never   42   to work on cars or be around    43  . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!

Six years later,   44  , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I   45    down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   46   side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   47   and told him about my   48   performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  49   is it that you can solve    50   mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t   51   from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to   52  . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been   53   my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.   54   , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost   55   we choose.
