Passage One:
I had achieved the so-called American Dream to a large extent by my late thirties. My husband and I lived in Los Angeles, where I practiced law. I earned a six-figure income and enjoyed the expensive clothes and vacations that my salary afforded. I was respected in my profession. But after ten years of practicing law, I started to question everything. What kind of contribution was I making to society? How would I feel at retirement looking back on my career? After considerable soul searching and journal writing, I concluded that I did not want to spend the next 30 years of my life helping people fight each other.
Passage Two:
It was interesting to look at what processes or events led people to adopt a simpler lifestyle. There were a number of people who chose simplicity after experiencing a serious illness or death of a loved one. We know that these events often get people to stop, think, and take stock of their lives. Other people decided to live more simply so that they could spend more time raising their children. But I think the presence of stress and lack of time were the dominant motivating factors that led people to simplicity.
选项
答案
在我近40岁时,我在很大程度上实现了所谓的美国梦。我和丈夫住在洛杉矶,我从事律师工作。我的收入高达六位数,我的工资足够我享受名贵的服饰和豪华的假期。我在同行中颇受尊重。但是,经过十年的律师生涯,我开始思考许多事情。我对社会有什么贡献?在我退休时,我会怎样回顾我的职业生涯?经过很多心灵探索和日记写作,我得出结论,我不想再花30年来帮助人们互相争斗了。
