if yes, discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article. 1. _if you are thinking how to find yourself when you are lost, then the first thing to do is have a rest from everythingwork, personal life and all worldly things. give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. is it because of overwork? is it because you are not leading a life that you want to? or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you? try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness. 2. _for once, instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. look within and find yourself in you. think about the things that you would want to do if you didnt have any family obligations or any money issues. think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in, the place that you would like to stay in, the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead, if you didnt have the society or people around you, judging all the time. if you really want to know how to find inner peace, then think, what you would want others to describe you asan honest person? or adventurous? or loving, or realistic? once you look within, you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that. 3. _thinking deeply about the past, the time or situations when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself. think what you were doing or with whom you were, when you were the happiest. this will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy. 4. _knowing yourself and determining what you want to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two. discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. so, its important that you maintain a written record of all your feelings and thoughts, which you can go through at a later stage. pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows maybe one day going through it, you will find yourself. 5. _once you have discovered what you want to do with your life, make a move for change and self-improvement. even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting, go ahead and do it. if you want a career change, plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly. if you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it, break away. at the beginning, you may find yourself slightly unbalanced, but with time everything will be fine. it is very important for you to truly find yourself, before it is too late. if you do not find yourself now, you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know, i. e. yourself. 【文章大意】文章讲述了每个人都会有迷失自我的时候, 并就如何找回自我介绍了几种简单的方法。1. 【解析】选f。根据此段中“. . . then the first thing to do is have a rest from everythingwork, personal life and all worldly things. ”可知, 要给自己一段休息的时间。2. 【解析】选e。根据此段中“look within and find yourself in you. ”可知, 要关注你自己。3. 【解析】选d。根据此段中“thinking deeply about the past, the time or situations when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself. ”可知, 要思考过去。4. 【解析】选c。根据此段中“so, its important that you maintain a written record of all your feelings and thoughts, which you can go through at a later stage. ”可知, 要记日记。5. 【解析】选a。根据此段中“once you have discovered what you want to do with your life, make a move for change and self-improvement. even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting, go ahead and do it. ”可知, 要采取行动。a. punctuality in america. b. time is limited. c. americans belief about time. d. opinions on time in different cultures. e. respect the time of others in america. f. the definition of time in america. 1. _what is time? is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? is time the same all over the world? thats an easy question, you say. wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. well, maybe. but in america, time is more than that. americans see time as a valuable resource. maybe thats why they are fond of the expression, “time is money. ”2. _because americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. people in the u. s. often attend seminars or read books on time management. it seems they all want to organize their time better. professionals carry around pocket plannerssome in electronic formto keep track of appointments and deadlines. people do all they can to squeeze more life out of their time. the early american hero benjamin franklin expressed this view best: “do you love life? then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of. ”3. _to americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other peoples time. being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. people who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. at informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. but they usually dont try that at work. 4. _american lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. when people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it. if people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. only very close friends will just “drop by” unannounced. also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear that they might be in bed. the time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10: 00 p. m. 5. _to outsiders, americans seem tied to the clock. people in other cultures value relationships more than schedules. in these societies, people dont try to control time, but to experience it. many eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle. the rhythm of naturefrom the passing of the seasons to the monthly cycle of the moonshapes their view of events. people
