We have all heard the sayings: Stop and smell the roses; live today. They simply mean we can slow down and live in the moment.
To live in the moment does not mean that you do not concern yourself with tomorrow; it does mean that you concern yourself more with today. ① . There is nothing you can change about what happened in the past except regret what you did or did not do. Let it go.
② . Think back to those vivid memories you have stored. That vacation, things you did with your best friend. All of those things you remember in detail are times you lived in the moment. You didn’t worry at the time what was for dinner, what you had to do at work the next day. For that period of time, you were living in the moment.
It helps people little just to live in the future. They think to themselves, if only this would happen, then I would be happy. If only I could get the raise, if only I could get that done, if only this, if only that. Every time they do achieve that “if only”, they find out they need something else.
③ . Take a look at what you do have that is good and be happy. Allow yourself to quit worrying about what may happen and experience what is happening now. Here are a few tips for you to train yourself to live in the moment.
1. Make a list of all you do have that makes you happy. Some of them may not be what you long to be, but remind yourself that many others may not be as lucky as you are.
2. Do something special for a loved one without expecting anything in return, including a “thank you”. Just watch their faces, see their enjoyment and know only you could do it for them.
3. Keep a journal. Write down everything good that has happened to you this day. Before long, you will begin to see the good as it happens and you will be in the moment as it does.
4. ④ . Laughter is and has always been the best medicine. By learning to laugh, you learn to enjoy everything life throws at you.
Living in the moment is not hard, but it is a skill to be learned. Start small and learn to take each day as it comes. Grasp today! Don’t just get absorbed in imagining the future. All time is no time when it is past. 第一节：根据短文内容，从A, B, C, D, E中选出最适合填入短文空缺处的选项，并将序号及

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Perhaps the best thing we ever give each other is our attention, 1 when it’s given from our heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but listen to them. Just take them in. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times 2 about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough 3 (know) this. It has taken me a long time to believe 4 the power of simply saying “I’m so sorry,” when someone is in pain.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted
to tell her that they once had such similar things that 5 to them. Then her pain became astory about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to people. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to 6 . When we listen, they know we care.
I used to reach for the tissue paper on one occasion 7 I supposed that passing a person a tissue may be just another 8 to shut them down, to take them out of their experience of sadness and grief. Now, I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me with them.
This simple thing 9 (not be) that easy to learn so far. It went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were 10 shy to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well intentioned words.
