题目：

下面一段文字如果加上一些虚词，表达效果会更好。为此，请将下面的虚词插入文中适当的地方。插入后，将紧接虚词后的词语填在横线上。（5分）

注重学英语是好事，同时也要十分重视母语的学习。汉语是世界上最优美、最富表现力、最有魅力的语言之一。中国进一步改革开放，学习汉语的外国人越来越多，我们自己应该学好汉语，用好汉语。某些人以能讲英语为荣，说话时夹上许多“洋文”，而母语的使用白字连篇，真是出尽“洋相”。

①总要________ ②却是________ ③更________④但________⑤随着________

答案：

①（总要）夹上 ②（却是）白字连篇 ③（更）应该 ④（但）同时 ⑤（随着）中国

注意虚词的语气和提示的关系。如在“夹上”前加上“总要”，就更好地描画出“某些人”的神情。

Across the planet there are millions of people who engage in some type of meditation, the practice

of concentrating and clearing the mind to bring the body into a state of peace, at least a semi-regular

basis. For some, particularly among practitioners of Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism,

this is part and parcel of their religious practice.

For others, particularly in Western cultures, meditation tends to be a response to stress. With the

world economy approaching meltdown and people worried about their job or their ability to keep their

home, it’s a way for people to attain a state of peace of mind and well-being.

For those interested in taking up the practice, instruction in meditation for beginners can be found in

literally thousands of sources.

One of the most popular styles of mediation in the West, with classes offered in most major cities, is

called Transcendental Meditation. TM, as it is known among its practitioners, first came to worldwide

attention when the Beatles began practicing it in 1967. For direct, guided, personal instruction in

meditation for the beginner, TM may be the hallmark.

Part of the confusion about how to practice meditation effectively is due to the fact that there are

literally hundreds of techniques championed by various groups and individuals. As a general principle,

it might be said that all meditation techniques seek to have the practitioner attain a state of consciousness

that is different to our ordinary state of awareness. They attempt to train people to clear their minds and

achieve a sense of inner peace. It sounds simple enough, but of the huge number of people experiment

with meditation, very few are able to maintain its practice over the long haul. In most cases, this is due

to frustration over the inability to experience any dramatic, instantly recognizable effects.

This is quite a sad state of affairs, that so few these days are willing or equipped to persist in

something that doesn’t provide immediate life-changing results. It reflects a culture in which demands

for discipline and sustained effort are considered unnecessary or even unfair. It is no surprise therefore

that many people abandon their efforts at meditation before they have a chance to bear fruit.

But for anyone who does decide to take up this worthwhile practice, please remember. You must

clear your mind, relax and “take it as it comes”. Maintain the practice with a sense of discipline and

devotion, and eventually benefits of inner peace and calm will be yours.
