¡¡¡¡One morning a few years ago, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept£®For this busy man, it was a sort of alarm£ºafter years of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early death£®

¡¡¡¡Only after a week¡¯s leave¡ª¡ªduring which he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach¡ª¡ªwas Rudenstine able to return to work£®

¡¡¡¡In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest£®Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying£º¡°I am so busy£®¡±

¡¡¡¡We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress£®The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others£®To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax¡ª¡ªthis has become the model of a successful life£®

¡¡¡¡Because we do not rest, we lose our way£®We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing is with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom£®

¡¡¡¡How have we allowed this to happen?I believe it is this£ºwe have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week¡ª¡ªfor followers of some religions¡ª¡ªfor rest and praying£®It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful£®It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep£®It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world£®

¡¡¡¡Rest is s spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest£®The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work£®In fact, ¡°Remember the Sabbath¡± is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow£®

A£®

B£®

(4)

What is the main idea of this passage?

¡¡¡¡I think cigarette smoking is highly addictive (ÉÏñ«) and very expensive. Especially when you're 14 and get a $ 9 weekly allowance. I'm in ninth grade and started smoking in sixth.

¡¡¡¡The first cigarette I ever had was in fifth grade. My mom was walking our dogs and found an unopened pack that she brought home to use as an insecticide (ɱ³æ¼Á) in the garden. A friend had told her that tobacco stops ants from attacking plants. Of course, when I found the pack, I took the cigarettes to my bedroom and being the little rebel I was, lit one with matches I stole from Dad£®

¡¡¡¡I didn't get a buzz, because I didn't inhale (ÎüÆø) but just the fact I was actually smoking made me think I was cool. But my friend Donna didn't think so. She just looked at me like I was the stupidest thing on earth. Which I probably was, because still smoke to this day.

¡¡¡¡I've tried to quit, but it's very bard since most of my friends smoke too. When I started smoking regularly at the beginning of sixth grade, not that many students smoked; by the end of the year, a lot were smoking. It was pretty bad£®Some kids grades get down, including mine, from skipping closes to get nicotine (Äá¹Å¶¡) into their systems. Now, in ninth grade, I'm still smoking.

¡¡¡¡About five months after I started cigarettes, I began smoking marijuana (´óÂé). There's no doubt in my mind that cigarettes are a gateway drug. Almost everyone I know started smoking before doing drugs. That has to tell you something.

¡¡¡¡Since I've smoked, I can smoke. I can hardly run around the block without getting out of breath. My mom quit smoking 18 years ago, and my dad stopped 14 years ago. My morn now has cancer, and my dad had bad three heart attacks. My grandma quit nine years ago, and she has emphysema (·ÎÆøÖ×). Not only that ---- my two grandfathers died from the results of smoking. After all this, you'd think I'd know better than continue.

¡¡¡¡Kids of teenagers who think smoking is cool or who want to try it: don't! It might make you feel calmer when you're really worked up, but 20 years from now you could find yourself really calmed down. You, too, could get emphysema, lung cancer, mouth cancer and much more.

¡¡¡¡I have told my parents that I will try to stop smoking as a present to them. But I hate the thought of never having another cigarette. You see-- no ifs, ands, or buts---- I'm really hooked£®

¡¡¡¡Remember those highly charged first days? They were full of real-life tests where there was always something new to learn, and not always from a book£®One of my first lessons occurred on my first day of kindergarten, when I got on the wrong bus£­as my older sister still likes to remind me£®

¡¡¡¡Life¡¯s minor embarrassments do happen, and I know I can¡¯t protect my own children from them£®I just try to teach them to laugh at theirs like I do at mine£®

And for standardized testing, standardized No£®2 pencils only, please£®¡±

¡¡¡¡Perhaps my favorite first-day memory happened the first time my two daughters went to full-day public school together, when I was understandably emotional£®Erin noticed my red eyes and white smile£®¡°You are happy and sad, huh, Mommy?¡± Such a sensitive girl!
