  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.

  Six percent of the workers in Britain took the decision to   5   last year.One couple who downshifted are Daniel and Liz.They   6   to work in central London.He was a newspaper reporter and she worked for an international bank.They   7   go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs,   8   their two children with a nanny(保姆).Nearly twice a month Daniel had to   9   to New York for meetings.They both earned a large amount of money   10   began to feel that life was passing them by.

  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.”

E
  About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.
  He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH…!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!” Building up a head of steam, he went on. “That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?”
  “Please, mister, please… I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop!” tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. “It’s my brother, mister,” he said. “He rolled of the curb(路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”
  Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.
  It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE-a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent(凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.
67.The boy threw a brick at the businessman’s car because ________.
A.he wanted to ask for some money
B.he envied the brand-new car very much
C.the businessman drove at a high speed
D.he wanted to get help from the driver
68.Which of the following is the right order of the story?
a.The younger brother threw a brick at Josh’s car.
b.The elder brother fell out of his wheelchair.
c.The younger brother begged Josh for help.
d.Josh lifted the elder brother back into his wheelchair.
e.Josh shouted at the younger brother.
A.b,a,c,e,d        B.a,c,d,b,e
C.b,a,e,c,d        D.a,c,b,e,d
69.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Josh was a kind-hearted man.
B.The two kids were Josh’s neighbors.
C.Josh would accept the money from the kids.
D.Josh’s new car broke down easily.
70.According to the passage, we must ________.
A.try to be more understanding seeing others in trouble
B.drive fast in a neighborhood street that is dangerous
C.try to get ready for the trouble in your future life
D.protect oneself from being hurt
