How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time7 Far too many.
This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal (排演) and, unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments.
We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families always making ourselves believe that this style of life is merely a temporary state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly presented with a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life.
In America they have a saying much laughed at by the English:“Have a nice day” they speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, reminding us, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day.
How often do we say to ourselves, "I'll take up horse-riding (or golf, or sailing) as soon as I get a higher position," only to do none of those things when I do get the higher position.
When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well paid respectable job at the Daily Telegraph to go and edit a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was astonished by what appeared to me to be his completely abnormal (反常的) mental state. How could anyone turn his back on Fleet Street in central London for a small local area?I wanted to know.
Now I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continual pressure. He lived in an unattractive London suburb and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains.

A. we always try to find some time to write a book

C. we always enjoy many of life's best moments
D. we always do what we really want to do
2.The underlined phrase "turn his back on" (paragraph 6) most probably means ________ .

I am sure many people have said about me, “He must be the happiest man in the world!” But they were wrong. 36 I was famous and had 37 money, I was not really happy. I found myself asking, “ 38 does all this not give me real happiness?”
Newspapers said, “Kriss Akabusi is the European champion. He has also 39 an Olympic bronze medal.” Now before all this happened, I had 40 , “If I can become a champion, I will be happy. I will 41 a lot of money and then enjoy 42 . I will have a good time.”
When I went to the Edinburgh Games, in my hotel 43 I found a book by my bedside. It was called What’s Real Happiness in Life? I 44 this book up and read some of the stories in it. The book mainly told about the happiness brought by helping others. But I said to 45 , “All these things are too 46 for me to do.”
But that night I had a 47 . I found myself standing by a river. I 48 a voice calling to me from the other side of the river. The voice said, “You know helping others is as 49 as crossing the river, and it’s not as difficult as you imagine.” Then suddenly I awoke. I realized I was 50 now when compared to before. I found I had real 51 of mind.
So I can now tell my friends what I have 52 . Being famous and having a lot of money 53 gave me happiness. So all I can say to you is this—we are 54 when we think that to be famous and rich will make us happy. Now I have a children’s TV program called Record Breakers. I have no 55 about what tomorrow will bring.
