Sitting is art that isn't getting passed along People these days feel as though they have to be doing
something If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf, or taking Courses to
improve their minds or bodies -or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn't
sitting-it's watching.
People used to sit a whole lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there
they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go down to the store and sit on the bench out
front in the Summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting benches out in the town square.
At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tries and spare parts, you
could kick back and sit.
Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and
Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would sit and digest (消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel's
illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the children would play, and the afternoon would
pass by in a comfortable haze (悠闲的氛围).
That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery (正充电的电池) doesn't look as if
it's doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. if you want to enjoy a truly full life, don't just do
something-sit there.
A. people lived a more restful life in the past
B. towns were built to make living convenient
C. small town garages had a lot to offer 、
D. people enjoyed going out for a drive
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。
During my travels through the mountains of Greece I was only ever scared once. It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.
As I approached, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling my presence. The animals looked both beautiful and terrifying, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time let out a loud howl. The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. A more frightening sound I had never heard. I was almost certain it signalled death.
Every moment I expected to see the pack dash at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general moving among his soldiers. They howled out again. But when they saw that their warcry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me; so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.
Had I turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me I am certain the whole pack would have attacked me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated them and kept them back.
