However, although “we really, really tried that for a couple of generations, it didnt work,” said Francine Jay, author of The Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify Your Life.Thanks to a travel-inspired revelation (启发), Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12 years. “I always packed as lightly as possible, and found it exciting to get by with just a small carry-on bag,” she told CNN. “I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly, how amazing would it be to live this way? I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life.”Jay decided to get rid of all her excess (额外的) possessions and live with just the essentials (必需品). “I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences, rather than things.”Jay is a follower of a movement called “minimalism (极简主义)”. Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world. They share the same feeling of disappointment with modern life and a desire to live more simply. Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment, Leah Watkins, a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand, told Stuff magazine in March.But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning too many possessions. Depression with the materialism of our world isnt new. English romantic poet William Wordsworth summed up how dispiriting (令人 消沉的) this was back in 1802, at the beginning of the industrial age, when he wrote: “Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers”. His preference was to go back to nature. Closer to our own times, the hippies (嬉皮士) of the 1960s also sought to drop out” of modem life.And for many minimalists, their key is to unload. Without objects, they “believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and thats where life happens,” wrote Stuff.But does simplicity ever feel like a sacrifice (牺牲)? “Its eliminating the excessunused items, unnecessary purchasesfrom your life. Well, I may have fewer possessions, but I have more space Minimalism is making room for what matters most,” said Jay.And “the real questions”, according to Duane Elgin, US social scientist, are “what do you care about?” and “What do you value?”He told CNN: “Its important for people to realize minimalism isnt simply the amount of stuff we consume. Its about our families, our work, our connection with the larger world, our spiritual dimension. Its about how we touch the whole world. Its a way of life.” 46. What was the authors main purpose in writing the text?A. To explore the trend of minimalism.B. To give tips on how to lead a happy life.C. To argue whether money buys happiness.D. To recommend one of Francine Jays books.47. What inspired Francine Jay to live a simple life?A. A book she came across.B. Her desire to keep up with modern life.C. The pleasure she enjoyed from traveling lightly.D. A follower of minimalism she met on a trip.48.

Minimalism is a healthy lifestyle that is in conflict with modern life.B. Minimalism limits peoples freedom to enjoy their lives to the fullest.C. Minimalism enables people to reflect on what truly counts in their lives.D. Minimalism means people have to sacrifice some pleasure to live simply.CIn the United States, engineering is a profession that has been dominated by men throughout history. Even today, its still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical engineers, but thats something www.EngineerG aims to change. Young women who visit the web site can find out about a great career choice they might not have considered.“Women are very much underrepresented in engineering and in engineering education programs and then of course, down the road, in the engineering workforce. So only about 20 percent of engineering undergraduate degrees go to women, and then only about nine percent of working engineers are women.”Mary Mattis in the National Academy of Engineering says the EngineerGirl website aims to reach young women around ages 11 through 14, when they are just getting old enough to start thinking about their futures.“We know from the research that middle-school girls are at a critical point in their lives, and that its a time when we need to reach them, both with an understanding, increasing their awareness of interesting fields in engineering, what a wonderful productive and exciting career you can have as an engineer. But we also need to reach them at that time because you have to take certain courses, and you cant start thinking about taking those courses when youre a junior in high school.”Engineering is a demanding course of studythere is a lot of science and mathematics, for many girls and even boys, that can be challenging. But Ms. Matis says that the EngineerGirl website stresses that engineering can also be fun and exciting.“Its about designing things. Its about changing the world for people. Its about making a differences. And, in addition, you can make a good living; you can be independent economically by becoming an engineer. All of those things are messages that girls need to get.”While most engineers go into traditional fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering, the EngineerGirl site also highlights unusual engineering careers in fields such as sports engineering andbelieve it or notchocolate engineering. “Theres a section called why be an engineer, and that talks about the many opportunities and increasingly different opportunities like with bio-engineering and environmental engineering, some fields that might appeal to girls who want to make a difference or have a meaning for their careers beyond earning an income.” Even if you are not a girl in the target age group, theres a lot of interesting information on the site, including biographies of some notable women engineers.TitleWebsite Encourages Girls to Learn (51)_Present (52)_ for the engineering profession in the USAEngineering is a profession that has been dominated (53) _ by men while only a small number of women work as engineers.(54)_ of the websiteTo make young women (55) _ of interesting fields in engineering and what productivity and (56)_ the career of being engineers can bring them.(57
