课时作业26 Art Ⅰ.阅读理解 It all started on a Friday morning at the office. Our company was under pressure dealing with unexpected changes in our new business plan. So to regain some clear thoughts, I decided to spend my lunch hour at gym. Luckily, during the workout, my mind did quiet down as I just allowed myself to focus on my exercise, and so on, gained some peace. Soon afterwards though, the reality of our challenging working world returned to my awareness. My earlier anxietyfilled thoughts returned and again my mind was flooded with all new challenges! Seeking some additional comfort before heading back to the office, I said a silent prayer while seated on the locker room bench. Soon I felt refreshed. Then as I rose to leave, I heard a low voice calling out “Help me...help me.” At first, I saw no one. But then, I noticed, at one corner of the room, a man had collapsed behind a bench. I quickly went over to him to offer assistance. Upon arrival, I took hold of his hand and brought him back up, and along with the help of another gym member, we righted his bench and sat him down on it. He thanked us both a lot. Later that afternoon, as my mind began to further clear, a buried vision was brought sharply back into focus! That man I had called out earlier! Once the fog had lifted on that veiled memory I could now recall: When I first entered the locker room there had had been his voice calling out. But I did not “see him” as I was too caught up in my own personal affair. I was not until I had cleared my mind and returned to the present moment that I finally heard his cry for help! |
