Question

One day, a teacher was giving a speech to his students. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"
The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. "It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. "
If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. "
"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”
We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed (使恢复) and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.

【小题1】推理判断题。根据短文描述，老师通过给学生举端一杯水一时不累，但时间久了会承受不了。来说明有时我们不得不放下负担,这样我们可以恢复过来 ，并能够继续前行。所以是一个例子。故选C。
【小题2】推理判断题。根据第二段第三段可知作者把水比成了负担。故选B。
【小题3】推理判断题。根据We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed (使恢复) and are able to carry on.描述我们不得不放下负担,这样我们可以恢复过来 ，并能够继续前行。比较四个选项，C更合适。
【小题4】主旨大意题。根据四个选项A怎样在生活中使自己放松B怎样解决身体问题B怎样通过喝水保持健康。D怎样学习好。结合文章故选A。
【小题5】归纳理解题。根据the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.可知是杯子变得越来越重，故A错误 ，由The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 可知学生不知道杯子的重量，故B错误，文章没有提及学生对老师所讲的理解，故D错误，所以选C。老师通过端一杯水的时间越长会感觉越重来说明人生要放下负担，才会方松。
