36 废寝忘食工作这种现象是如此的普遍，以至于人们认为这种工作方式是正常的。
37 本句是为对第一句话进行论证而举的例子。
38 联系上下文意思可知，废寝忘食工作者没有其它的兴趣爱好，而他们又宁愿工作而不愿无所事事。因此，本句句意为：他们不忘我的工作，因为他们确实没有其他办法，他们这样工作是因为他们愿意。
39 下文所举的例子表明废寝忘食的工作，可能导致身体上严重的疾病或家庭的破裂。因此可知，这种工作方式有时候会导致很严重的问题。
40 根据下一句所进行的解释中might可知答案。
41 横线上所缺的是谓语动词，根据所缺宾语和上下文的解释可得知答案。
42 根据上文的解释，废寝忘食的工作者宁愿工作也不愿无所事事可得知答案。hate doing/to do 不喜欢做某事。
43 下文列举的疾病都是指身体方面问题。
44 前文所列举的是因废寝忘食的工作导致身体方面的疾病，后文所列举的是因为废寝忘食的工作而导致的家庭方面的问题，这两者之间应是并列递进关系。
45 根据空格后面as所引导的原因状语从句和上一句的解释可得知答案。
46 B
上文所列举的例子都是因为废寝忘食工作而引起的不良影响，而下文所举的例子都是一些积极的作用。根据这一点可知，此句既是对上一句的反问，又起承上启下的作用。
47 本题考查在特定语境下使用动词修饰语的能力。sadly伤心地；differently不同地；slowly慢慢地；efficiently有效率地。根据下文意思 “工作狂”在工作的时候感到精力充沛，兴趣盎然可得知答案。
48 根据前后句的解释可得知答案。
49 根据上文的解释可知，只有工作才能使他们精力旺盛，因为这给他们提供了一个挑战的机会。再者，根据53个空后面也可得知答案。
50 上文主要阐述的是，很多人喜欢废寝忘食工作，以及因其所产生的影响，而下文则是解释为什么废寝忘食工作者这么喜欢工作。
51 下文所列举的都是废寝忘食工作所带来的积极影响。
52 根据上下文意思可知，废寝忘食工作不仅能为这些工作者提供资金，而且还能给他们自信。no more不再……；more or less或多或少；no more than仅仅。
53 本句为一个时间状语从句。当工作能给他们提供一个挑战的机会，而且最后他们能说“我成功了”的时候，他们会有一种成就感。
54 本题考查固定词组的搭配。make it成功。
55 本句是对本段大意所进行的总结。根据上下文可知，在工作之后，他们能体会到自我成功的价值。

Once I had    45   a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both    46  ,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he    47   me back.

Have you ever regretted doing something you shouldn't have done or something you didn't do which you should have? At one time or another we probably all have.There's no __51in getting depressed about it now—it's no __52 crying overspilt(溢出的)milk.However,there may be some gain in thinking about exactly what happened and why __53 we might be able to draw some conclusions for the future.

Some say everyday miracles(奇迹) are predestined(注定的)----the right time for the appointed meeting. And it can happen anywhere.
In 2001, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift(换班)at the hospital had been changed to see her son’s performance. She was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions. And he revived in the end.
After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.
Kevin, now 18, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking.
Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts. The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.
"The food was stuck. I couldn't breathe," she said. She thought she was dying. "I was very frightened."

Penny Brown.

“Earthquake!”The word flashed in my brain.A roaring sound filled my ears.I tried to slide beneath my desk.The desk did a wild tap dance,slipping and sliding towards the centre of the room.I twisted my body and grabbed at the windowsill behind me,somehow kicking free of my dancing chair.I tried to stand.My legs skated away as if on a bucking escalator.
My fingers shook,grasped and held the windowsill tightly.Somewhere through the roar sounded the terrified scream of some wounded animal.I looked behind me and tried to steady my gaze on the other kids but the scene was a dizzy nightmare.Some of the class were sitting in the middle of the room,surrounded by chairs and desks.One girl was screaming.A boy was trying to claw his way across the floor to the door in a crazy overarm crawl.
My grip froze me to the windowsill.
I cried aloud,“I’m going to die.I’m going to die.Save me,I’m not ready to die,I’m not ready!”
I hunched forward on my knees and pressed my face against my clenched fingers.I looked at the backs of my fingers and stupidly noticed the fragile pale hairs growing out of the pores.The fingers would soon cease to exist.Somehow the impending horror of my death was too terrible to even cry about.
Suddenly,I became aware that the rocking had ceased.Perhaps I wasn’t going to die.
小题1:The roaring sound was made by______.

A．a wounded animal	B．people screaming
C．children running	D．an earthquake

小题2:When the narrator clenches his fingers he is ______.
