语篇解读:本文介绍了作者放慢生活节奏的原因、过程和感受。作者通过大女儿在催促小女儿时不耐烦的表情看到了自己的影子,并决心放慢生活节奏。
1.A.attention B.memory
C.love D.experience
[解析] 根据living a fully-scheduled life及there's never enough time in a day to catch up可知,生活被计划地满满当当,因此无论你有多少种方式将你的注意力拆分开来,你都没有足够的时间顾及。attention意为"注意力";memory意为"记忆力;回忆";love意为"爱;热爱";experience意为"经历;经验"。根据语境可知选A项。
[答案] A
2.A.bored B.blessed
C.content D.patient
[解析] 根据作者对女儿的描述a care-free, stop-and-smell-the-roses及女儿带给作者的改变可知,此处指作者觉得自己很幸运有这样的孩子。be blessed with意为"有幸拥有......",符合语境
