I walked on the    48   and looked around and thought about how   49   the experience was. I even found myself jumping up and down. There was no 50   , and it was certainly an illusion.
I considered how many things in our lives we 51    and exactly how many of them are actually illusions.

One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the  36 direction at about the same speed.

During the last fifteen years of my mother's life she suffered with Alzheimer's disease. Until then she had been a bright, __51__ woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her.

Someday __68__ and when I become even more __69__ minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where "home" is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave these notes for your __70__.

In this modern world, we rush around all day with no time for stillness. And when we are   48  to be still, we're in line for something, or waiting at a doctor's appointment, or on a bus or train. This comes at a   49 : we lose that time for consideration, for observing and listening. We lose peace. And   50  yet: sometimes no action is better than too much action at all. You can run around crazily, but get nothing done. Take a moment to think about how you spend your days? Are you always   51  through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your life? If not, take a moment to be still. Don't think about what you have to do, or what you've done already.   52  be in the moment. Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your   53 , and how you'd like it to be. See your life with less movement and less rushing. See it with more stillness and more peace. It's pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. Once you've got   54  to that, try doing less each day. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of waiting for it.
Value the stillness. It's a treasure and it's   55  to us, always.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:完型填空

Historically, the term “fair trade” has meant many things. The Fair Trade League was  36   in Britain in 1881 to restrict  37  from foreign countries. In the United States, businesses and labor unions 38  “fair trade” laws to construct構(gòu)建what economist Joseph Stiglitz calls “barriers to imports.” These so called “anti-dumping(反傾銷(xiāo))” laws allow a company that  39  a foreign one of selling a product below cost to request that the government charge收費(fèi)special taxes to protect it from “unfair”  40  .
Such dark protectionist thoughts are far from the  41  of the organizers of the United Kingdom’s annual “Fairtrade Fortnight”. Their  42   aim is to raise the price paid to developing-country farmers for their 43  by cutting out the inflated profits虛抬利潤(rùn)of the middlemen on whom they  44  for getting their goods to distant markets. Fair-trade products  45  cocoa, coffee, tea, and bananas do not compete with domestic European production, and  46  do not have a protectionist motive(動(dòng)機(jī)).
This is how it works: In  47  for being paid a guaranteed price and meeting “agreed labor and environmental standards” (minimum wages, no farm chemicals ), poor-country farming cooperatives(合作社) receive a FAIRTRADE mark for their products, given  48  by the FAIRTRADE Labeling Organization. This mark 49  supermarkets and other businesses to sell the products at a higher than  50   price . Third-world farmers get their income increased,  51  first-world consumers get to feel virtuous: a marriage made in heaven.
The fair-trade movement,  52  in the 1980’s, has been growing rapidly. In a significant breakthrough in 1997, the British House of Commons   53   to serve only fair-trade coffee. By the end of 2007, more than 600 producers’ organizations,   54  1.4 million farmers in 58 countries, were selling fair-trade products. Today, a quarter of all bananas in UK supermarkets are sold under a FAIRTRADE mark. But FAIRTRADE-labeled products still represent a very  55  share—typically less than 1%—of global sales of cocoa, tea, coffee, etc.
