Ten years ago, I used to be very fit. 【小题1】 I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days, I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
【小题2】 The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top. Then I had another glass, and then another. 【小题3】 I never used to smoke at all.

解析:文章介绍了一开始,作者挣得少,活得很积极和健康。后来,作者换了一份高收入的工作,虽然生活质量提高了,但是却失去了业余时间和健康。作者很迷茫,不知道该选择哪种生活。这正是现代人的一种普遍存在的现象。
【小题1】根据I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more. 可知这一部分想说我过去过着很健康的生活,所以应该填我骑自行车去上班,周末做很多运动,故选C。
【小题2】根据The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch.可知这里想说然后,八年以前,我得到了一份更好的工作,故选A。
【小题3】根据I never used to smoke at all.可知这里想说我也开始吸很多烟。故选E。
【小题4】根据He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time!可知这里想说医生建议我停止吸烟,少吃点,故选G。
【小题5】根据But I just haven’t any time!可知这里想说工作把其他的事情都带走了。故选B。
