    Read the text below and complete the following tasks.

    Every moment is a moment.


    Charlotte Selver loves to remind her students that "Every moment is a moment". There is
    something liberating about this statement, (1) … It is filled with possibilities.
    Feel this as you are walking. Each step can be invigorated with a sense of newness. Can
    you be surprised by the taste of an orange or a sip of tea? Can you make spaghetti sauce as if it
    were the first time, although you've made it a thousand times before?
    One of my favourite stories is about a man who was chased by a ferocious tiger. The man
    ran to the edge of a cliff where he grabbed hold of a vine and swung himself over the side. Still
    hanging from the vine, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, (2) …
    But looking up, he saw the tiger waiting for him. Looking down into the ravine below, (3) …
    He looked around and saw two tiny mice begin to chew away at the vine.
    Growing on the side of the cliff next to him was a beautiful ripe strawberry. He could smell
    its fragrance. It looked like a jewel glinting in the sunshine. Reaching out, he gently picked it and
    took a small bite, savouring its essence. (4) …
    What freedom this story conveys! Although the man is in a terrible situation, he is
    undaunted. Glimmering in front of him is a strawberry, and he eats it as if he had no other care in
    the world.
