It is no good dwelling on the past. What existed or happened in the past may have been beautiful or exciting and may now bring profound and precious memories, but the past is dead, and it is not healthy for living spirits to linger over a world inhabited by ghosts. The past may also be a place of horror, of regret, of unfortunate deeds that "cannot be undone". It is painful and pointless to fix on the period which cannot be relived or repaired. It is unproductive self-punishment. The past must be kept in its place, outlived and outgrown.
It is also useless to worry about the future. Why fly to heaven before it’s time? What anxious visions haunt the person who thinks too much about the future? He may envision the horrible mushroom cloud, the earth shriveling from radiation, the overpopulated, abused earth gone dead. He may imagine his own life going away, appointments missed, advancements given to someone else, his house burned to the ground, his love lost, everything in his life, as in a nightmare, slipping away from him. There is no end to the disasters a person can worry about when he focused anxiously on the future. There are events in his future, including his own death, over which he has little or no control, but he can ruin his life worrying about them. There are some disasters he may be able to prevent, but he must do that by living well in the present, not simply by worrying about the future.
The present moment which is even now moving into the past, is the only reality I know, and I don’t want to miss it. The wild-cherry cough drop dissolving in my mouth is sweet and soothing. Even my sore throat and backache have meaning. The cool night air, the crackling noises of my furnace, my cat yawning and stretching—these are the tangible realities I can recognize. They exist in this moment, together with my own breathing. Along with these are the realities of other people and of all life on this earth that matters to me now, not at some past or future time.
Everyone needs a sense of history, but history needs to keep its distance to be appreciated. It is also vital to leave some sense of direction, which means making plans for the future but not becoming preoccupied with them. What is most important, I believe, is living in the present, that is, being alive now. [br] Which of the following may be the worst problem that threatens one’s life?
选项
A、Living with great anxiety.
B、Heavily-polluted environment.
C、Lack of a righteous purpose for life.
D、Incapability of controlling life events.
答案
A
解析
第2段倒数第2句中but引出的转折分句表明worrying可以毁了一个人的生活,题目中的the worst factor that threatens是对ruin的改写,因此选A。
