More People Are Leaving the Rat Race for the Simple Life
Time is more precious than money for an increasing number of people who are choosing to live more with less—and liking it
Kay and Charles Giddens, two lawyers, sold their home to start a B&B hotel.Four years later, the couple dishes out banana pancake breakfast, cleans toilets and serves homemade chocolate chip cookies to guests in a B&B hotel surrounded by trees on a hill known for colorful sunsets.
“Do I miss the freeways? Do I miss the traffic? Do I miss the stress? No,” says Ms.Giddens, “This is a phenomenon that’s fairly widespread. A lot of people are reevaluating their lives and figuring out what they want to do.If their base is being damaged, what’s the payoff?”
Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight activities to sharing housing, living closer to work, avoiding shopping malls, borrowing books from the library instead of buying them, and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job.
Vicki Robin, a writer, lives on a budget equal to a fifth of what she used to make.“You become conscious about where your money is going and how valuable it is,” Ms.Robin says, “You tend not to use things up.You cook at home rather than eat out…”
Janet Luhrs, a lawyer, quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a nanny for two weeks.“It was not the way I wanted to raise my kids,” she says, “Simplicity is not just about saving money; it’s about me sitting down every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music.”
Mrs.Luhrs now edits a magazine, Simple Living, which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and shoes, organize potluck dinners instead of expensive receptions, and generally how to consume less.
“It’s not about poverty,” Mrs.Luhrs explains, “It’s about conscious living and creating the life you want.The less stuff you buy, the less money goes out of the door, and the less money you have to earn.”
1.Kay and Charles Giddens sold their home to ______.
A. pay off the debt
B. start a private hotel

D. buy living necessities
2.Simple living includes ______.
A. building a home library
B. living in the countryside
C. enjoying a colorful night life
D. sharing housing with others

A. spends more time with her kids
B. has an interest in classical music
C. works as a reporter of a magazine
D. helps people buy recycled clothes
4.How does the author develop the passage?

The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts(文科) in higher education isn't an either/or proposition(命題),although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM(science,technology,engineering,maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.
The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training,but also states firmly that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central components of America's educational system at all levels.Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society,become creative leaders,and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.
Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates' job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs.Under these circumstances,it's natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem “Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some,though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often,in fact,lead to employment and success in the long run.Indeed,according to surveys,employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well,think critically,research creatively,and communicate easily.
Moreover,students should be prepared not just for their first job,but for their 4th and 5th jobs,as there's little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers.The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible.The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—picked up from science,arts,and technology—to solve the problems of the future,and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves,will be helpful to them and the United States.
1.What does the latest congressional report suggest?
A. STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.
B. Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.
C. The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students' spiritual life.
D. The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.
2.What kind of job applicants do employers look for?
A. Those who have a strong sense of responsibility.
B. Those who are good at solving practical problems.
C. Those who are likely to become innovative leaders.
D. Those who have received anall-round education.
3.What advice does the author give to college students?
A. Seize opportunities to explore their potential.
B. Try to take a variety of practical courses.
C. Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems.
D. catch asmany chances as possible to change their jobs.
