    　　Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for．Seeking material success is beginning to 　　1　　 a large number of people around the world．They feel that the longtime work culture to make more money to buy more things is 　　2　　 up their lives, leaving them very little 　　3　　 or energy for family or hobbies．Many are turning to 　　4　　 ways of living and downshifting(过田园式生活)is one of them．

    　　Nowadays, they run a 　　11　　 in the mountains of Wales, “I always wanted to have one here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to 　　12　　 the decision to downshift．It’s taken some time getting used to, but it’s been 　　13　　 it．We have to think 　　14　　 now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any 　　15　　．However, I think it’s make us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot 　　16　　．”

    　　Liz, however, is not quite sure．“I used to enjoy my job, 　　17　　 it was hard work and long hours．I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m 　　18　　 getting used to looking after the animals．One thing I do 　　19　　, though, is being able to see more of my children．My advice for other people wanting to do the 　　20　　 is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all．”

    　　It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first Job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.

    　　Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “Smith Enterprises”, she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.

    　　Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fart, it hardly looked like an office at all.

    　　The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.

    　　Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.

    B．Mr. Smith was not in the office

    C．nobody was doing any work

    D．the office had a new appearance

    A．they saw a stranger in the office

    B．their morning break was ended

    C．no one wanted to talk to Marie

    D．the boss was about to arrive
