We often feel that if we are focused and devoted, happy and positive, loving and generous, healthy and energetic, then we will be balanced people. And if the pie chart of our daily life has just the right ratios(比率) of work, life, family, health, and service, then our time will be balanced.The problem with trying hard for balance is that most peoples understanding of this state is so different from what balance actually is! Balance is not about walking around with a bunch of positive qualities; its about walking on the tight rope between the poles within us and the circumstances outside of us. Strictly speaking, in order to achieve true balance, we should accept we may have some shortcomings. We should accept and love the most challenging parts of life because they offer gifts for full, real living.Even though we measure time in a linear(线状的) way, time is and will always be asymmetrical(不均匀的). One moment is not like another, just like each day is different and each tide that rolls in is different from the previous one. This is why it is impossible to balance our time through a pie chart in a time management book. Exploring asymmetrical time allows us to move in line with an unbalanced time and thus regain our relative balance. If we stop measuring ourselves against the standards of linear time, we can accept ourselves more fully. New possibilities arise as we accept the uncertainty.1.

Popular comments about time答案与解析人们常说，我们需要平衡我们的时间，才能过上更平衡的生活。但大多数努力寻求平衡的人对平衡的理解跟真正的平衡是大相径庭的！平衡不是带着一堆优良品质四处行走，而是要在我们内心和外在环境之间的钢索上行走自如。1A细节理解题。由第二段第一句得知，作者对于平衡的观点跟大多数人认为的观点相左，是人们没有理解平衡的真正意义导致了人们很难达到获得生活的平衡。2D细节理解题。从第二段最后两句，“.in order to achieve true balance, we should accept we may have some shortcomings. We should accept and love the most challenging parts of life.”得知，在作者看来，平衡的生活意味着去接受自己的缺点和生活中不尽人意的方面。3C推理判断题。从最后一段“.time is and will always be asymmetrical.，.it is impossible to balance our time through a pie chart in a time management book，. New possibilities arise as we accept the uncertainty”几句得出结论，尽管我们是以线性的方式来衡量时间的，但时间一直是不均匀的。生活中总是存在着不确定性，我们也只有承认了这种不确定性，才会有新的可能(过上平衡的生活)。4B主旨大意题。作者认为，平衡是相对的，生活中总是存在不确定性。我们要做的就是在这些不确定性之中寻求相对平衡的生活(seeking relative banlance)。B(2016年高考北京卷)December 15，2014Dear Alfred，I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up，I had people telling me I was too slow，though，with an IQ of 150at 17，Im anything but stupid.The fact was that I was found to have ADHD (注意力缺陷多动障碍)Anxious all the time，I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a tim
