第一篇
Most people today insist that there is an inadequate amount of time to meet all the demands of their
jobs, their families, and the modern world. Even with all the time-saving devices of modern industrial
society, many people still lead hectic lives. They make commitments to do things every evening after work
and use their weekends to catch up on housework and sleep. Modern transportation gets them quickly form
home to office to health club to restaurant. People can now pack more activities into a single day than their
ancestors dreamed possible, yet they still seem to be always running out of time. With constant
interruptions from telephone calls or visitors, they are unable to make time for everything that requires
attention. Sometimes so many things are going on at once that they feel overwhelmed, desperately in need
of some breathing space in which they can collect their thoughts. Spare time can be hard to find, and when
the boss pops his head in the door to ask, “Do you have a minute?”, the temptation is to say, “No!”

(A) leisurely (B) busy (C) harmonious (D) tranquil
