语境2 健康的生活方式，积极的生活态度
语境2 健康的生活方式，积极的生活态度
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A year ago， I started working out with a personal trainer and the results were obvious. The reflection in the mirror was fit and strong， with a narrow waist. This month I’ll be celebrating my 74th birthday， but I feel more like I’m about to turn 40. In fact， I’m in the best shape of my life. And I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late to make changes. If I can do it in my early 70s， then you can do it too.
I haven’t always felt so body confident. As a busy working mom I had the same hang－ups as so many other women. In my forties I fell into the trap of trying to do it all. I raised my daughter Laura， now 43， while working as a clinical leader in the NHS， which left me feeling stressed and exhausted. By 50 I’d reached breaking point. I ended up breaking down in the doctor’s surgery. And I was signed off work with stress－related depression.
I began to do a lot of soul searching. My burnout had set me on a completely different path. Around this time， my approach to my health was also shifting. So many women hit 50 thinking that’s it and they’re done， but for me it felt like a new beginning.
I enrolled in a gym and learned how to use the equipments. Over the next few years， I went to the gym roughly twice a week. Sometimes I didn’t want to go－but at the end of every session I always felt better.
I wrote and self－published a book called Journey to Chocolate about my seeking for a more balanced and satisfying life. I started eating “clean” with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables， avoiding processed food and not drinking alcohol from Monday to Thursday. The changes to my diet made me feel more energetic and alert. I slept better， and managing my weight was much easier.

I didn’t go to Santiago， Chile to look for friendship. In fact， Chile was not even on my wish list.
As a mid－life crisis woman， I got a chance to study abroad. I only wanted to learn about global business， taste South American cuisine， and check “study abroad” off my wish list.
On the fifth day， I joined a group for a neighborhood work project aided by the anti－poverty(扶贫) organization. Our tasks were to build a water tower and paint the community center. Upon arrival， I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was like a scene out of a horrible film. That moment redefined poverty for me because I had never seen such terrible living conditions. As advised， I showed no signs of the motional battle going on inside me.
Just as I was about to start work on painting， a request came through for a few volunteers to help Nadia， a local resident who volunteered to cook for us. I raised my hand to help because I wanted to spend time with the people of the neighborhood despite my shortage of Spanish speaking skills.
Nadia had a sincere smile but not overly friendly. Even without speaking each other’s language we started to learn about one another. We chatted about our children， our upbringing， shared picture of our family， struggled to instruct each other to communicate in the other’s language， and laugh many times.
After we fed everybody and the dishes were washed， my day was over. But I found myself hesitant to leave. It was as if I had known her my entire life. I had not predicted the unselfishness heart I would encounter， and it was moving.
As we were waiting for the car to pick us up， Nadia showed me her plants that are well－maintains. I could see that despite the hard conditions she was passionate about life. She made me long to be stronger person. She showed me that poverty was external， but happiness was internal. I was seeking to give 100 percent for a well－intentioned cause， but I left receiving 200 percent from her.

My head was so full of digital noise 1. it felt like my brain was about to explode. I had no greater power of concentration than a goldfish and the lifeless stare of a goldfish as well. As a writer， I was ashamed to admit that my love of books had been weakened by a brain that simply could not sit still.
So， at the start of this year I committed to restoring books to the place that they held in my life before the Internet broke my brain.
My goal was 52 books： It seemed like an impossible task. A 400－page book will take the average person around eight hours to read. Finding the time to read was a challenge but here’s how I did it. Firstly， I decided to treat my mind like a child 2. (behave) badly and lay down some ground rules. Then I decided that I 3. (read) for an hour or two at a time 4. distraction each day. It was something I hadn’t done in years and it was scary 5. difficult it was.
In his book， The Distracted Mind， Larry Rosen says that the more we practise spending time away from our electronic devices， the 6. (calm) and more focused we become. And this is what I found. Again and again， I would gently bring myself back to the page， resisting the urge 7. (reach) for that screen. I took inspiration from Nikki Gemmell， who describes in On Quiet， how investing in a safe to lock away her family’s devices for long periods had opened up a space for deep reflection.
For me， finding that quiet time meant finding time in my day just to read. It was a date between me and my book. And it meant actively choosing to read at times 8. I ordinarily would reach for my phone.
I read on the tram， at the park， in bed at night and on lunch breaks.
9. (renew) my love affair with books， I created a sacred space where I pressed pause and found inspiration， knowledge and reflection. In our modern world， reading for the sake of reading is not selfish. It is a powerful and beneficial way to slow down and be 10. (we).
