Question

完形填空

In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading messages. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no   1   for stillness.    And when we are   2   to be still because we're in line for something, or waiting at a doctor's appointment, or on a bus or train, we often   3 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn't something we're   4  .    This comes at a    5   : we lose that time for   6  , for observing and listening. We lose peace.    And   7   still: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get   8  done.    Take a moment to think about  9   you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering   10   or checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always   11 through your schedule?    Is this how you want to spend your   12  ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be    13  . Don't think about what you have to do, or what you've done already.   14   be in the moment.    Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you'd   15   it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more    16  .    Then be that vision.    It's pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day.   17   you've gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too   18  . Slow down. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of   19   for it.       20   the stillness. It's a treasure, and it's available to us, always.
