A
Everyne wh knew anything abut animals warned me against getting a rabbit in my early 20s， but I ignred them， and ended up with three. It turns ut that all the peple wh are against rabbits have a pint： Rabbits get sick all the time， and there are very few vets （兽医） wh specialize in their care. My years with rabbits have been full f feeding， hurried trips t the vet， sleepless nights and begging fr advice n the Internet.
Nw that my animals are ld and weak nw， I clear their waste and clean their legs with a rabbit-friendly shamp（洗涤剂）. I spend a lt f time n the flr， because althugh my rabbits are hard t satisfy scially， they als hate t be picked up.
I am ften asked the questin "Why rabbits？" r "Why nt a dg， r a cat？". I try t describe what it’s like t be with them. I had never felt a real duty twards anything until I had my rabbits. My answers never satisfy anyne. I’m nt sure abut the questin， either — it s ften implies instrumental value， as if the crrect reply might be "They make gd cmpanins" r "They’re nice t lk at".
I dn’t have the right kind f reasn. I dn’t believe in the use value f any living thing. Like humans， animals just are — that’s it. Usually we d nt lk at ther peple and think abut hw t make them wrk fr us. Yet s much f ur way f seeing the wrld is funded n the assumptin that animals are meant t serve a purpse. This seems wrng.
After all these years with my rabbits， the nly thing I knw is that there is n lessn t be learned r value t be acquired. There’s just an effrt t be made， and as far as I’m cncerned， that’s what life is.

When presented with a menu in a restaurant， I’ll nly cnsider the first few ptins n each page.

作者通过讲述自己的几个亲身经历，诠释了一种生活方式：少即是多。
1.D 由上文的"Interested in the an experiment"可知，因为对"选择太多让人头晕"的想法感兴趣，作者一直在进行一项实验。结合下文作者的几个亲身经历可知，本文主要介绍限制选择、把事情简单化带来的好处，所以空处应该是作者得出的一个结论，故选D项"它诠释了一种生活方式：少即是多"。
2.C 由上文的"When presented each page"可知，当作者在餐厅拿到菜单时，他只会考虑每页的前几道菜。根据下文的"I used t dining cmpanin"可知，作者过去常常花很长时间看菜单，而不是坐下来和他的用餐伙伴聊天。据此可推断，空处说的是在餐厅点菜只看菜单每页的前几道菜的好处，即不用在菜单上浪费时间，而是留出时间和用餐伙伴聊天，故选C项"但这实际上很让人解脱"。
3.A 由上文的"The ther guess what？"可知，作者尝试了一道新菜；再根据下文的"S limiting f experiences"可知，这道菜给了作者不同的体验，故选A项"它很美味"。A项中的It指代上文举例的新菜"a smked chicken salad"。
4.E 由下文可知，该段主要介绍作者现在可以看到很多电影和电视剧，但在应用程序和菜单上看十分钟后，经常会发现自己在看晚上9点第四频道安排的节目。据此可知，本段都是关于家庭娱乐的，故选E项"这同样适用于家庭娱乐"。
5.F 由上文的"This devtin culd affrd"可知，作者简化了旅行的方式；再根据空后的"And nw I can actually fcus n enjying ur hliday"可知，空处应该和空后内容是并列关系，都是简化旅行方式带来的好处，F项"这样做，我避免了几天的旅行焦虑"符合语境。
