英语题号：05阅读理解:（分两节, 共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分）阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。

We have all heard the sayings: Stop and smell the roses; live today. They simply mean we can slow down and live in the moment.To live in the moment does not mean that you do not concern yourself with tomorrow; it does mean that you concern yourself more with today. ①. There is nothing you can change about what happened in the past except regret what you did or did not do. Let it go.②. Think back to those vivid memories you have stored. That vacation, things you did with your best friend. All of those things you remember in detail are times you lived in the moment. You didn’t worry at the time what was for dinner, what you had to do at work the next day. For that period of time, you were living in the moment.It helps people little just to live in the future. They think to themselves, if only this would happen, then I would be happy. If only I could get the raise, if only I could get that done, if only this, if only that. Every time they do achieve that “if only”, they find out they need something else.③. Take a look at what you do have that is good and be happy. Allow yourself to quit worrying about what may happen and experience what is happening now. Here are a few tips for you to train yourself to live in the moment.1. Make a list of all you do have that makes you happy. Some of them may not be what you longto be, but remind yourself that many others may not be as lucky as you are.2. Do something special for a loved one without expecting anything in return, including a “thankyou”. Just watch their faces, see their enjoyment and know only you could do it for them.3. Keep a journal. Write down everything good that has happened to you this day. Before long,you will begin to see the good as it happens and you will be in the moment as it does.4. ④. Laughter is and has always been the best medicine. By learning to laugh, you learnto enjoy everything life throws at you.Living in the moment is not hard, but it is a skill to be learned. Start small and learn to take each day as it comes. Grasp today! Don’t just get absorbed in imagining the future. All time is no time when it is past.第一节：根据短文内容，从A, B, C, D, E中选出最适合填入短文空缺处的选项，并将序号及相应答案写在答题纸上。
