Passage Two
How often do you say to people “I‘m busy” or “I haven’t got time for that.” It‘s inevitable true that all of us live a life in the far slain，even though we know that being busy is not always particular healthy. Growing-up in New Zealand，everything was always calm and slow，people enjoy the tranquility of a slower pace of life. After I moved to the Tokyo and lived there in a number of years，I got used to having a pilot to do lists. And my calendar always looks like a mass with lots of things to do. Return across it，I found myself feeling my timer with endless work meetings in social events. Russian along as busy as it be. Then，one day，I came across a book， called in praise of slowness and realized that being busy is not only detrimental， but also has the danger of turning life into endless race. So I started practicing various practical steps， mentioned by the author of the book，and began to revolt against every idea of being too busy. It doesn’t mean that to do lists no longer exist，but I become more aware of the important of slowing down and making sure that I enjoy the daily activities as I care about. From now on，when someone asked how your life is，try your responding with the words like “exciting and fun”，instead of the culture norm that says busy. Say if your experience that tranquility that follows.

【翻譯】

你經(jīng)常對別人說“我很忙”或者“我沒有時間”。

雖然我們知道忙碌不健康，但是我們過著快節(jié)奏的生活，這是一個無法逃避的事實。

在新西蘭長大，一切都平靜而緩慢。

人們享受著慢節(jié)奏生活帶來的寧靜。

但當我搬到東京住了幾年之后，

我已經(jīng)習慣了總是有一堆的事情需要去做，我的日歷看上去總是亂糟糟的，因為上面標記了一大堆需要做的事情。

我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己把時間都用在沒完沒了的工作會議和社交活動上，忙得像蜜蜂一樣。

然后，有一天，我讀到一本名為In Praise of Slowness的書意識到忙碌不僅致命，

而且將生活變成無休止的賽跑，

因此我開始按照作者在書中講到的步驟改變生活方式。

我開始反對讓生活過于忙碌的想法。

改變生活方式并不是說任務清單就不存在了

我意識到了慢生活的意義，在做每一件日常小事的時候，都能夠樂在其中。

從現(xiàn)在開始，當有人問你的生活怎么樣時，試著用“令人興奮和有趣”而不是用“忙碌”來形容。

看看你是否體驗到隨之而來的寧靜。

根據(jù)你剛才聽到的短文回答12-15題。

問題12：說話者認為什么是不可避免的真理?

問題13：關于她在東京的生活，說話者說了些什么?

問題14：是什么讓說話者改變了她的生活方式?

問題15：說話者改變了生活方式后發(fā)生了什么?
