摘要:Until earlier this year, I didn’t know anything about theAlexander technique—and saw no reason to think I should. One day, the backacheI regularly suffered was more painful. I was brought up to think that thepreferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope they’ll go away,but I eventually went to the doctor. After examining me, he said, “You actuallyhave bad posture (姿势). Go off and learn the Alexander technique.” Threemonths later I could walk straighter and sit better.。这样做的好处是,你可以避免因为没有跟进别人期望你做的事情而感到尴尬——告诉每个人你要开始慢跑会让你更有可能这么做。

爱心三明治

原文章来源与出处

迈克尔·渴攀里斯蒂亚诺在纽约市的一家法院供职。不论刮风下雨、阴晴冷暖,,也不管是工作日还是节假日,他总会在每天早晨4点起床,走进自己的三明治作坊。不。他并非熟食店老板,那只是他家的私人厨房,里面摆放着各式三明治馅料。他做的三明治已经小有名气,不过只为那些极需靠它们抵御饥饿的人熟知。早晨5点50分,他往返于中心街和拉斐特街的临时漂泊汉之家,那一带靠近纽约市政厅。一会儿工夫,他已送出200只三明治,力求在上班前赞助尽可能多的漂泊汉,然后赶往法院开始一天的工作。

一切始于20年前的一次善举,他为一个名叫约翰的漂泊汉买了杯咖啡和一只面包卷。从此,迈克尔日复一日地为约翰送去三明治、奶茶和衣物。最初,迈克尔只是想做件好事。

但有一天,一个声音在他脑海中响起。催促他采取进一步举动。迈克尔回忆道,“我意识到自己身上有种使命,我信任它是我一切举动的内在动力。”

迈克尔想到了制作三明治,就这样,他开始了自己的使命。他没有接受任何企业的援助,他说:“我并不是想发起什么能载入史册或吸引媒体眼球的慈善创举。我只是想尽自己微薄之力做些好事,日复一日地坚持下去。但这的确是我力所能及的:从今天做起,从我做起。”

“遇到滴水成冰的下雪天,我实在不愿离开暖和的被窝和舒适的家,去市区送三明治。可每当此刻,那个声音又会在心里不住地催促,令我不得不起身举动。”

过去20年来,迈克尔每天都要做200只三明治。他解释说:“我分发三明治的时候,不是单单把它们摆在桌上让仁攀来拿。我会直视每个人,和他们握手,向他们送上一天的祝愿。每个人在我眼里都很首要。我没有把他们当成‘漂泊汉’,我只把他们看作需要食物充饥的人,他们需要一个鼓励的微笑,需要人和人之间美好情感的交流与传递。”

“一次,科赫市长跟我一起去派发三明治。他没有邀请媒体,就我们俩。”迈克尔说。与市长并肩工作固然难忘,但更令迈克尔难以忘记的,却是与另一个人的合作……

常来取用三明治的漂泊汉行列里少了一个熟识的身影,迈克尔常常惦记着他。他盼望这个人的处境已经好转。一天,这个人出现了。面貌焕然一新,穿着整洁、保暖的衣服,胡子刮得干洁净净,还带来了自己预备分发的三明治。迈克尔每天递送的新鲜食物、暖人心怀的握手、眼神中传递的关爱和声声祝福给了这个人愿望和鼓励,这些正是他极为需要的。每天能感受到作为人的尊严,而不是被编入“另册”,他的人生因此被改写了。

此刻无需任何言语。两人肩并肩、默默无声地忙碌着,分送着他们的三明治。纽约街头又迎来了新的一天,所不同的是,这一天也承载了一份新的愿望。

Openwater swimming

Openwater(开放水域)游泳

I had only swum in open water a few times, and alwaysin gentle lakes, so I wasn’t prepared for how rough Lake Windermere appeared ona cold day. A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured,and that the water was a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was aboutto complete the challenge.

Most of the people taking part were doing a one-milerace, and 10 races were planned over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix ofopen-water enthusiasts alongside complete beginners—which is precisely the aimof the swims, to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge.The oldest woman competing was 77, taking part in the two-mile race, alongsidea man who last year had swum in every one-mile race.

I had chosen the third one-mile race of the day. Therewere over 600 people in my race. We were taken through an acclimatization area,a children’s paddling pool-sized part of the lake where we moved in to feel howcold the water was. “Not too bad” was everyone’s thought! Then we headed outtowards the middle of the lake.

We’d been warned that the first 100 metres would bereally rough. However, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for thecalm; it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on mybreathing and technique, and just keep going. As I approached the 400m-to-gomark my lower right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talkingabout how they kept swimming through the pain, so I tried. But it didn’t work.I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didn’t want to stop, so I bentmy right knee and just kicked with the left leg.

Finally I saw the finishing post, and I just concentratedon getting there—still one-legged. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 secondsbut that didn’t matter—the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a senseof achievement, whatever their time. I’m hooked, and want to give it anothergo. I’ve already signed up for my next open-water swim.

我只在开阔的水域游泳过几次,而且总是在温和的湖泊里游泳,所以我没有想到温德米尔湖会在寒冷的日子里变得如此波涛汹涌。一位游泳者告诉我,水感觉比测量的要冷,而且水有点粗糙。但是我,和其他10000个人,即将完成这个挑战。

大多数参加比赛的人都在做一英里的比赛,周末计划了10场比赛。似乎有一群开放水域的爱好者和完整的初学者——这正是游泳的目的,让尽可能多的人完成他们自己的挑战。世界上年龄最大的女子77岁,参加了两英里的游泳比赛,和她一起参加比赛的还有一名男子,他去年参加了每一英里的游泳比赛。

我选择了今天的第三次一英里赛跑。有600多人参加了我的比赛。我们被带到了一个适应环境的区域,这是一个儿童戏水池大小的湖的一部分,我们搬进来感受水有多冷。“还不错”是每个人的想法!然后我们向湖中央走去。

有人警告过我们,头100米将极其艰难。然而,在750米大关附近的某个地方,我还在等着这辆车;感觉更像是在海里游泳,而不是在湖里。我试着专注于我的呼吸和技巧,然后继续。当我接近400米远的戈马克时,我的右腿下部开始疼痛。我记得我无意中听到人们谈论他们是如何在痛苦中坚持游泳的,所以我试了一下。但是没有成功。我开始感到整条腿又紧又痛。我不想停下来,所以我弯曲了右膝盖,用左腿踢了一脚。

最后,我看到了终点,我只是集中注意力——仍然是一条腿。我的结束时间是38分25秒,但这并不重要——气氛非常棒,每个人都感到了成就感,无论他们的时间。我上瘾了,想再试一次。我已经报名参加下一次的公开水域游泳。

The Alexander technique

亚历山大技术

Until earlier this year, I didn’t know anything about theAlexander technique—and saw no reason to think I should. One day, the backacheI regularly suffered was more painful. I was brought up to think that thepreferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope they’ll go away,but I eventually went to the doctor. After examining me, he said, “You actuallyhave bad posture (姿势). Go off and learn the Alexander technique.” Threemonths later I could walk straighter and sit better.

The Alexander technique is away of learning how you can get rid of harmful tension in your body. Theteaching focuses on the neck, head and back. It trains you to use your bodyless severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with lesseffort. There is little effort in the lessons themselves, which sets apart theAlexander technique from yoga or pilates, which are exercise-based. A typicallesson involves standing in front of a chair and learning to sit and stand withminimum effort. You spend some time lying on a bench with your knees bent tostraighten the spine (脊椎) and relax your body while the teacher moves yourarms and legs to train you to move them correctly.

The technique helps to break the bad habits accumulatedover years. Try folding your arms the opposite way to normal. This is anexample of a habit the body has formed which can be hard to break. Many of us carryour heads too far back. The head weighs four to six kilos, so any inappropriateposture can cause problems for the body. The technique teaches you to let go ofthe muscles holding the head back, allowing it to go back to its natural placeon the top of our spines.

So who was Alexander and how did he come up with thetechnique? Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, found in hisyouth that he had vocal (声音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himselfand realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellentresults. He brought his technique to London and opened a teacher-trainingschool, which is still successful today.

So if you’re walking along the road one day withshoulders bent forward, feeling weighed down by your troubles, give a thoughtto the Alexander technique. It will help you walk tall again.

直到今年早些时候,我对亚历山大技术一无所知,也没有理由认为我应该知道。有一天,我经常遭受的背痛更加痛苦。在我成长的过程中,我一直认为治疗疼痛最好的方法就是什么都不做,希望疼痛会消失,但我最终还是去看了医生。在检查了我之后,他说:“你的姿势确实不好。去学亚历山大的技巧吧。“三个月后,我可以走得更直,坐得更好。

亚历山大法是一种学习如何摆脱体内有害紧张的方法。教学重点放在颈部、头部和背部。它训练你不那么严格地使用你的身体,并且以更少的努力完成我们一直在做的动作。这些课程本身并没有付出多少努力,这使得亚历山大健身法有别于瑜伽或普拉提。典型的课程包括站在椅子前,用最少的努力学习坐和站。你花一些时间躺在长凳上,膝盖弯曲,伸直脊柱,放松身体,同时老师移动你的胳膊和腿,训练你正确地移动它们。

这种方法有助于打破多年积累的坏习惯。试着用与平常相反的方式折叠手臂。这是身体形成的一种很难改掉的习惯。我们中的许多人都把脑袋抬得太远了。头部重4到6公斤,所以任何不合适的姿势都会给身体带来问题。这项技术教会你放松支撑头部的肌肉,让它回到脊柱顶端的自然位置。

那么亚历山大是谁,他是怎么想出这种方法的呢?出生于1869年的澳大利亚演员弗雷德里克·亚历山大(Frederick Alexander)年轻时发现自己在表演中有嗓音问题。他分析了自己,意识到自己的姿势不好。他努力改进,取得了优异的成绩。他把自己的技术带到伦敦,开办了一所教师培训学校,至今仍很成功。

所以,如果有一天你走在路上,双肩前倾,感到烦恼的重压,想想亚历山大的技巧吧。它会帮助你重新站起来。

B.She got bored with the Alexander technique.

D.She was unwilling to seek treatment for her backache.

A.Physical tension shouldn’t be completely relieved.

B.The technique shouldn’t be combined with other exercises.

C.The practice of the technique shouldn’t be attempted alone.

D.Familiar physical actions shouldn’t be done with much effort.

40. What can we learn aboutFrederick Alexander?

A.He managed to recover his vocal powers.

B.He was eager to make a name for himself.

C.He developed a form of exercise for actors.

D.He had to leave home to develop his technique.

Don’tput it off, do it now!

不要拖延,现在就做!

Why do we spend so much time not doing the work we should do, or putting off small jobsthat have piled up to create a big problem? Procrastinating, as putting thingsoff like this is called, is in our character we have naturally since birth; weavoid dull or difficult jobs until it’s too late to do anything else.

“Weoften put things off although we know it will make life more stressful,” saysDr. Steel, an authority on the science of motivation. “If these tasks were fun,we’d just do them now. We put off what is difficult or unpleasant, such as thepaperwork that needs doing before leaving the office or cleaning the bits ofyour home that people can’t see. But the fact is, the less peopleprocrastinate, the more money they have, the better relationships they have,and the healthier they are.” This is obvious when you look at the couples whodon’t argue about whether anyone has cleaned the kitchen, and the people whosimply go for a run instead of endlessly rescheduling it in their heads.

Ofcourse, there are the rest of us, who feel the small jobs piling up around usdaily. “We’ve evolved to respond to the moment, and not to set our sights toofar in an uncertain world,” Dr. Steel adds. “We are not set up to appreciatelong-term rewards, whether it’s the benefit of a four-year degree, doingexercise or dieting. We usually feel the cost now and the reward comes muchlater.” According to Dr. Steel, we have two decision-making systems. They are thelimbic, which is responsible for the short term, and the prefrontal cortex,which deals with the future. We bounce between long-term goals and short-termtemptations, so we need goals that will translate our plans for the limbicsystem.

Let’stake the example of students’ writing essays. They should set themselvestargets and word counts per day. These are thus turned from seemingly endlesstasks into something concrete with measured progress. Dr. Steel recommends suchtechniques, or “pre-commitments”, adding that leaving you a month before the “deadline”makes it more likely a task will be completed. The benefit is that you’ll avoidthe embarrassment of not following up on something people are expecting you todo—telling everyone you are going to take up jogging makes you more likely todo so.

Overcomingprocrastination finally comes down to planning, which, if you’re not careful,becomes procrastination in itself. But it is worth making sure you have everything inplace. “Successful people don’t pretend they don’t procrastinate,” Dr. Steelsays. “People who pretend they have willpower are less successful.” Instead,plan for procrastination: make your work environment a temple of productivityby cutting out what stops you paying your attention, so you can really focus onmoving forward.

为什么我们花那么多时间不去做我们应该做的工作,或者拖延那些堆积成大问题的小工作?拖延,像这样的事情被称为拖延,是我们与生俱来的性格;我们避免枯燥或困难的工作,直到为时已晚。

“我们经常拖延,尽管我们知道这会让生活更有压力,”斯蒂尔博士说,他是动机科学方面的权威。“如果这些任务很有趣,我们现在就去做。我们会推迟一些困难或不愉快的事情,比如离开办公室前需要做的文书工作,或者打扫家里那些人们看不到的地方。但事实是,拖延的人越少,他们拥有的钱就越多,他们的人际关系就越好,他们也就越健康。这一点很明显,当你看看那些夫妻,他们不会为是否有人打扫过厨房而争吵,他们只是去跑步,而不是无休止地在脑子里重新安排时间。

当然,我们其他人也有这种感觉,他们觉得每天身边的小工作堆积如山。斯蒂尔博士补充说:“我们已经进化到对当下做出反应,而不是把目光放在一个不确定的世界里太远。”“我们并不欣赏长期的回报,无论是四年学位、锻炼还是节食带来的好处。我们通常现在就能感觉到代价,而回报来得更晚。“斯蒂尔博士说,我们有两个决策系统。它们分别是负责短期的边缘脑区和负责未来的前额皮质。我们在长期目标和短期诱惑之间摇摆不定,所以我们需要能够将我们的计划转化为边缘系统的目标。

让我们以学生的作文为例。他们应该为自己设定目标和每天的字数。这样,这些任务就从看似无穷无尽的任务变成了具体的、可衡量的进展。斯蒂尔博士建议使用这些技巧,或者“预承诺”,并补充说,在“最后期限”前一个月给自己留出时间,会让任务更有可能完成。这样做的好处是,你可以避免因为没有跟进别人期望你做的事情而感到尴尬——告诉每个人你要开始慢跑会让你更有可能这么做。

克服拖延症最终归结于计划,如果你不小心,计划本身就会变成拖延症。但确保一切就绪是值得的。斯蒂尔博士说:“成功人士不会假装自己从不拖延。”“假装有意志力的人不那么成功。相反,要为拖延做好计划:把你的工作环境变成一座生产力的圣殿,把那些让你无法集中注意力的事情都清除掉,这样你才能真正专注于前进。

42. What does the author sayabout procrastination in Paragraph 1?

A.It is something many people can’t help.

B.It is an excuse people often use in public.

C.It is caused by the technology in people’s life.

D.It is more common when people have small jobs to do.
