4.Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame,we often do everything possible to avoid it."We're taught from our earliest days that if you quit something,it means you're a failure,"says counseling psychologist Will Meek.He,however,suggests we view quitting differently.
Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room:you've grown comfortable with the status,and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary.And yet,there's the upsetting feeling that you're no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances,perhaps even that you've stopped making progress.While it's not out of the question for feeling or regret to surface after a major refit,leaving a position,project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities,making you feel inspired and renewed.
Quitting,often happens in situations where we're unhappy,fearful or have determined we have no other choice,factors that can have opposing effects on our health.Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling,or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready-and,as a result,you're operating under intense pressure."If stress is enduring and not managed well,it can start to take a toll."says Meek.According to the American Psychological Association,long-term,ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack,so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits."We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol(应激激素皮质醇),which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,"says Dr Alex Lickerman,a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability.
Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heat is truly leading you.In a study that was published in 1999,then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets-someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers,for instance,was asked to take on personal interactions.Subjects were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future solves through‘imitation strategies'-an approach they compared to‘trying on different clothes,'Mark Franklin,the president of CareerCyles,suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self."Pretend to be a certain kind of person,or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do."he says,"Try it on,see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you."It may not feel like it at the time,but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track.

58.It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that quitting may bring us feelings of being bothA.
A.troubled and hopeful
B.stupid and enthusiastic
C.guilty and ashamed
D.inspired and determined
59.The underlined phrase"take a toll"(Paragraph 3)can be best replaced by"C".
A.develop mental adaptability
B.bring about changes
C.have a bad effect
D.keep up the pressure
60.It can be concluded from the passage thatB.
A.quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to follow
B.knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happen
C.mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisol
D.personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressure.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了抽烟有害健康,戒烟尽管难受但充满希望.

解答 58.A.细节理解题.根据第二段While it's not out of the question for feeling or regret to surface after a major refit,leaving a position,project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities,making you feel inspired and renewed可知戒烟是难受又充满希望的;故选A.
59.C.词义猜测题.根据文章."If stress is enduring and not managed well,it can start to take a toll."says Meek可知如果压力是持久的,没有管理好,就会要收取回报,即产生坏的影响;故选C.
60.B.细节理解题.根据文章Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heat is truly leading you可知知道是时候停止是很明智的甚至可能帮助你实现梦想;故选B.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

12.I just realized that while children are dogs-loyal and affectionate-teenagers are cats.
(36)AYou feed it,train it,and boss it around.It puts its head on your knee and gazes at you as if you were a Rembrandt painting.It bounds indoors with enthusiasm when you call it.However,around age 13,your adoring little puppy(child) turns into a big old cat(teenager).Then when you tell it to come inside,it looks amazed,as if wondering who died.Instead of following your doorsteps,it disappears.(37)C
Not realizing that the dog is now a cat,you think something must be desperately wrong within.Since you're the one who raised it,you assume that you did something wrong.Now you're dealing with a cat.Filled with guilt and fear,you redouble your efforts to make your pet behave.(38)GCall it,and it runs way.Tell it to sit,and it jumps on the counter.
Instead of continuing to act like a dog owner,you can learn to behave like a cat owner.Put a dish of food near the door,and let it come to you.(39)FYou sit still,and it will come,seeking that warm,comforting lap it has not entirely forgotten.Be there to open the door for it.One day your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen,give you a big kiss and say,"You've been working hard all day.Let me get those dishes for you."(40)D

A.It's so easy to be a dog owner.
B.Children as cats can turn to their parents.
C.You won't see it again until it gets hungry.
D.Then you'll realize your cat is a dog again.
E.Teenagers can understand and appreciate their parents'love.
F.But remember that a cat needs your help and your affection,too.
G.However,all the efforts made before now produce the opposite of the desired result.
