Nick’s guests, 6. had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt 7. (cheap) if they could.

Most nights I lie in bed, ready for an escape from myself, yet a streaming video of everything I ate, how I exercised, the activities of the day won’t stop playing in my mind.

I pause. I breathe. I try to relax once again, but it doesn’t work.

When I’m not exercising — even if I’ve already exercised that day — I’m consumed with anxiety about my next workout. Will something come up and make me miss the gym? What about holidays when the gym is closed?

Exercise has become a disease; it even disguises (伪装,假装) itself as the cure. If I don’t have it as an escape, then what’s left to hold me together? Working out feels like the only way to calm myself, but as soon as I leave the gym or finish a walk, the whole cycle starts over again.

As you might have guessed by now, I suffer from depression and OCD (强迫症). I’m a highly-educated adult woman who knows the risks of this behavior, and yet I can’t stop.

As a society, we’re told over and over that it’s important to exercise. That’s what makes it so easy to keep this addiction a secret; it’s not as obvious as lighting up a cigarette. You can continue to feed your addiction under the guise that you’re just being “healthy”. I not only have to fight the nonstop thoughts in my head but also the “more exercise is better” messages I receive from the media every day.

For me, exercise has become a drug, which is a way to numb the pain I might feel. I wonder what it would be like to “have the problem” of not wanting to go to the gym. It still feels very far away.

Yet I know I can be stronger than this. I can break the cycle I’m in. I can tell my story so as to give up a piece of the secrecy that keeps me sick.

Because no, you don’t want my problem. And finally, neither do I.

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

Let’s face the facts. On most occasions, some things may seem impossible, but in every impossibility, there is possibility. Impossible situations don’t last forever. While it might be impossible for one, it could still be possible for another. In a word, everything is possible.

Someone once said, “Success belongs to those who can look at challenges offered by the world as an inspiration.” So your challenges are golden opportunities for success. How can there be wonders if there are no difficulties? You need challenges to show your ability and success comes from the problems you face. Those who refuse to give in come out smiling.

Robert X. Perez once said, “The seeds of success spring from failure’s ashes; failure is not defeat and it just directs you in the right direction. To fail is to understand what you should not do. Remember it and don’t give up until your goal is achieved.”

What should you do when you face difficulties? Jasbeen says, “Yeah, life is difficult, but you shouldn’t give up. You should have a positive and calm attitude towards all your difficulties and make the best of them. You may learn something new. You can accept failure and develop mental toughness. Mental toughness is to see the long-term pains rather than be put off by short-term pains. Once you have this toughness, you have an advantage of winning.”

The only thing in life you ever really regret is the chances you didn’t take. You will only regret when you are faced with the consequences of not taking chances and seizing the moment. Take every chance you can!

Everything you’ve done in life may be good or bad, but no matter what you may do, you must try your best. You must do something meaningful and do it right now.

1.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that _________.

A. what failure means

B. failure often happens

C. failure can help you achieve success

D. how to achieve one’s goal

2.When faced with difficulties we are advised to _________.

A. be optimistic and learn to see the long-term pains

B. know that each difficulty is a short-term pain and try to avoid it

C. think of the difficult life others may have

D. find out your own advantages and be strong

3.Which of the following is true according to the author?

A. We should try to make the most of every chance.

B. We should create more problems for your success.

C. Those who always have difficulties are more successful.

D. There are no impossible situations for anyone in the world.

4.The passage is mainly about _________.

A. how to face challenges

B. how to be successful

C. how to hold the hold the chances in life

D. how to turn impossibilities into possibilities

5.We are most likely to find the passage in _________.

A. an advertisement for customers

B. a story for young children

C. a speech for young students

D. a guide for those competitors
