I like animals.I think camels are the most unusual animals.They hardly ever need to drink water.That's interesting.Don't you think rats are ugly?I don't like them at all. I like cows,because they can give us milk and their meat is the most delicious!I love beef hamburgers!Ha ha!I'm only joking. Seriously,though,I think hens are one of the best animals.Why?Because they can lay eggs. Eggs and milk are good for our health. And I like rabbits,especially their red eyes and the white color.They are so cute.How about ducks?They are so lovely.When they are walking,their bodies shake like dancers.

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 slo- wing 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. 1.Why do people choose fast living? 2.What is the answer to our predicament,according to the Slow Movement? 3.What is the main idea of the Slow Movement? 4.Which lifestyle do you prefer,fast living or slow living?Why?(Please give two reasons.) 046参考答案《 三、1-4BDCC 第三课时 -、1-4BBAC 二、1-4DEAC 1.them 2.When 3.visitors 4.a 5.was born 6.amazing 7.carefully 8.has increased 9.to help 10.from 四、1-5 BCABD6-10 ACDCA 第四课时 -、1-5 BCADB6-10 CADBA 1.called 2.interested 3.twice 4.from 5.drawing 6.workers 7.an 8.to touch 9.pay 10.because 1.Class 6.2.Camels.3.Because cows can give people milk and their meat is the most delicious.4.Hens. 5.He thinks they are lovely. 1.Because they think they have no control of time.2.The answer is to leam how to live slower.3.The main idea is to value quality over quantity.4.I prefer slow living.First,it can free us from endless rush and help us enjoy moments of rest.Second,it helps us reduce stress,making us feel more relaxed and at peace.
