How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time? Far too many. This is life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal (排演) and, unhappily. we do miss so many of its best moments. We take johs to stay alive and provide homes for our families always making ourselves believe that this style of life is merely a temporary (暂时的) state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly presented with a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for real life to come along were in fact real life. In America they have a saying much laughed at by the English: "Have a nice day." They speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, reminding us, in effect, to enjoy the moment. How often do we say to ourselves, "I'll take up horse-riding (or golf, or sailing) when I get a higher position," only to do none of those things when I do get the higher position. When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well paid respectahle job at The Daily Telegraph to go and work for a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was astonished by what appeared to me to be his completely abnormal (反常的) mental state. How could anyone turn his back on Fleet Street in central London for a small local area? I wanted to know. Now I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continual pressure. He lived in an unattractive London suburb and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains. |
1. The underlined phrase "turn his back on" most prohably means "________". |
A. give up B. keep on C. try out D. look for |
2. The man preferred working for a small newspaper partly because ________. |
A. something had gone wrong with his mind B. he wanted to have more time to enjoy life C. he would have more chances to make money D. he liked travelling on Southern Region trains |
3. What is probably the best title for the passage? |
A. Find a Good Job B. Wait for Real Life C. Value This Very Day D. Get a Higher Position |
答案
1-3 ABC |
