Our way of thinking that is focused on speed values doing more over doing things well.For a long time,we believe that speed means being productive and successful,and therefore,we keep rushing here and there in doing everything.Yet from time to time,we find ourselves in a predicament()that no matter how fast we go,we never seem to be quick enough to catch up with our endless tasks and goals. The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster,but to learn how to live slower.The movement began with the Slow Food Program,which was set up in 1986.It believed that we should fight against fast-food restaurants,protect traditional cooking,and encourage people to enjoy preparing and eating food. The belief finally spread from the Slow Food Program to other parts of life.In 1999,it helped create Cittaslow-a group focused on slowing down life in cities.This belief about slowing down quickly began to influence areas like work,travel,fashion,and living in general. The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity().Slow living is a lifestyle based on the Slow Movement.Its goal is to free us from endless rush that stops us from enjoying moments of rest.Slow living encourages us to live each moment whole-heartedly and give everything the time it needs,rather than try to do as many things as possible in every minute of our lives.Today,more people are drawn to the idea of the Slow Movement,thanks to social media sharing the many benefits of living slowly. 九年级英语共9页第7页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap Many people think that they don't have control of time,so they 56 of Fast have no choice but to do as much as possible. living fast living ● Speed matters most to people.People believe that speed can make them produce more and lead them to 57 Problems of However,people can never reach their endless aims no matter fast living how fast they go.
