Instead of looking at nature, I  16   my e-mail. Instead of paddling an old boat, I  17   my Twitter feed. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four  18   each morning.     And that was the problem: I was acting    19   I were still in the office. My body was on vacation But my head wasn’t.     So this year I made up my mind to try something   20  : getting away from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m not good at self-control. But I was determined. I started by   21    the iPad to my wife. Then, a stroke of luck: The cell phone signal at our cabin was   22    than in the past, meaning that I couldn’t cheat. I was   23  , forced to carry out my plan. Largely   24   from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had little way to connect to the world   25   radio —and how much radio can one listen to, really?

I  29   realized that it was me, of course, not the iPad, that was the problem.     I knew I had   30   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.  31  , as we return to post-vacation situation, a test begins: Can I  32   when I’m back at work? And I don’t plan to  33   my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation (诱惑) to check my e-mail every five minutes,  34   often leads to following my Twitter feed.     A vacation is supposed to help you reset your  35   to become more productive (高效的).
