Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a
modern convenience: the iPad.
Instead of looking at nature, I 1 my
e-mail. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading 2 newspapers
each morning. And that was the problem: I was acting as if I were still in the office.
My body was on vacation but my 3 wasn't.
So this year I made up my mind to try something 4: getting away from the Internet. I knew
it wouldn't be easy, 5 I'm
not good at self-control. But I was 6. I started by handing the iPad to my wife.
Then, a stroke of luck: The mobile phone 7 at
our house was worse than in the past. I was 8, forced to carry out my plan. Largely cut
off from e-mail and my favourite newspaper websites, I had little way to 9 the
world. I had no 10 but
to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.
With determination and the strong support of my wife, I succeeded
in my vacation struggle against the Internet. I finally 11 that
it was me, of course, not the iPad, that was the 12.
I knew I had 13 when
we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi.
"Don't need it," I said. 14, as we return to work, a harder test begins:
Can I continue when I'm back at work? I don't plan to 15 my
iPad completely. But I hope to resist the temptation (抵抗诱惑) to use it every five minutes.
