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问自己以下问题将有助于你走向更平衡的生活．

解答 37．E 考查对上下文语境的理解．空前句意Do you possess too much？Drowning ourselves in too many material possessions can lead to stress：你拥有太多吗？拥有太多物质的东西会带来压力．故此空选（搞清楚你最需要什么，以及你能摆脱什么．故选E
38．B考查对上下文语境的理解．根据上文内容问的是否保持健康的关系，空前Are you maintaining healthy relationships？Is there a relationship in you life that needs a little extra care and attention句意：在你的生活中有需要特别关注的关系吗？故此处选B（你是否需要给某人平反？）正确．故选B．
39．G 考查对上下文语境的理解．空后A lack of motivation to accomplish certain things can throw you off balance or make you feel stressed out later on句意：缺乏实现某些事情的动机会让你失去平衡或者稍后会让你感到筋疲力尽．故这里选G（我是否玩儿得太high了？）合适，故选G．
40．D 考查对上下文语境的理解． 空前Are you spending too much句意：你花钱太多了吗？这里选D（过度消费会导致压力）合适．故选D．
41．C．推理判断题．空后Sometimes we get so wrapped up in taking care of others that we forget to take care of ourselves句意：有时候，我们太过于关心他人从而忘记了去照顾自己．故这里选C（我照顾好自己了吗？）合适．故选C．

点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子．
