问题    That relaxation is a necessity is a fact generally admitted but most people do not suspect that, in order to rest the mind, relaxation must be active. That is not to say that our activity must entail strenuous effort, but only that it must prevent that passiveness which is conductive to dispersion of thought. On the pretext of resting, some people allow their thoughts to drift hither and thither according to their imagination. This is a harmful habit which is weakening to our mental powers, and is, moreover, unreasonable. Complete inertia is much more tiring than moderate work; it leads to incurable boredom, destroys intellectual and moral energy; in a word, it impairs our higher faculties. The most profitable kind of relaxation is derived from physical exercise or from an easy occupation. Walking is such an exercise, and is particularly recommended, for it fills the lungs with the air they need, loosens the joint, and tones up the muscles. Music, likewise, rests, soothes, and elevates the mind. In order that these occupations may give the benefit they are intended to bestow, sufficient attention must be given to them, for rest, apart from the time spent in sleep, does not consist in the desperation of one’s attention but in applying it to an easy occupation.
选项
答案    身心的放松是必要的，这是一个众所公认的事实。但大多数人并不知道，身心要得到休息，这种放松得是积极的。所谓积极的放松并非剧烈的活动，而只不过是不要慵懒，因为这会导致思想分散。有些人借口休息，任由其思绪随着想象四处飘荡，这是一个有害的习惯，会削弱我们的心智，而且也是不合理的。无所事事比适度工作更令人疲倦，会让人百无聊赖，无从排解，会损害我们的智力和精力，一言以蔽之，会损害我们更高层次的才能。最有益的放松来自身体的活动或轻松的工作。散步就是这样一种活动，特别值得一试，因为这能使我们肺气充足，舒缓骨节，调和肌肉。同样，听音乐也能使人心神安宁，提升境界。为了使这些活动能达到预期的效果，我们得集中注意力，因为休息并非消除注意力，而是把注意力放到轻松的工作中以寄托身心(睡眠除外)。
