主题语境:人与社会 语篇类型:说明文 词数:275 难度:★★★☆
For many of us introverts(内向的人),our professional efforts and results are a reflection of ourselves and our dedication to our employer.Because we aren’t the social butterflies of the office.We feel a need to prove to our superiors that we are smart,hard-working,and dependable.For people like me and my close-to-quitting friend,the concept of giving anything less than our best doesn’t cross our mind.
2 We are disappointed and frustrated when we can’ t always achieve those standards.
It’s great to make a difference at work,but you have to take care of yourself first.Putting in slightly less effort in times of high stress doesn’t mean you don’t care about your job. 3 Consider this saying:The perfect is the enemy of the good.When you reduce the pressure on yourself to attain perfection,you can flow more quickly and easily through your tasks. 4
Here is my advice for you when you find yourself in the midst of panic.
First,ask yourself:what’s the worst that will happen if I miss a deadline by one day?
5 Write down the specific tasks that are causing the feelings of stress.Talk it out with a friend or family member.You might discover that the situation isn’t as horrible as you thought.By approaching your tasks one at a time you can make real progress.
A.We set high standards for ourselves.
B.It means you care about yourself more.
C.The pressure on yourself shouldn’t be ignored.
D.You might achieve more when you care less.
E.As her friend who’d been in a similar situation,I wanted to help.
F.Next,slow down and analyze what,precisely,is stressing you out.
G.Freedom from the weight of perfection can be creatively liberating.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】作者劝解要辞职的朋友,工作中要想快乐,就要少一些担心,不考虑太多,不要太过于追求工作中的完美。

2.A 下文写到“当我们不能总是达到那些标准时,我们会感到失望和沮丧”。A项(我们为自己设定了很高的标准。)符合行文逻辑。
3.B 上句表示“在压力很大的时候,减少一点点努力并不意味着你不关心你的工作”,故B项(这意味着你更关心自己。)符合要求。
4.G 根据上文中的信息词 perfect以及 perfection可知,G项符合语境。
