Answer 1

分析 本文主要阐述了智慧，耐心和经验在你的生活过程中的关系，当你获得智慧时，同时你获得了耐心，而智慧是经验的孩子．

解答 31．D 考查上下文理解．根据上文Sometimes a certain situation or a certain person just pushes our button，making it much more difficult for us to remain patient．有时某个情况或某个特定的人只是按下我们的按钮，使我们更难保持耐心．下文总结了耐心和经验的关系，所以答案选D．
32．C 推理判断题．根据下一句No one is born to be patient．没有人天生就有耐心，由此可以推断出前文必定是耐心是可以通过耐心学习而得的．所以答案选C．
33．B 信息提取题．根据本段句子Though it might be difficult，you should try to be patient in life．This will help you in nearly all situations虽然这可能很困难，但你应该试着在生活中保持耐心，这在所有情况下都会对你有帮助．通过这些信息可以看出本段主要讲失去耐心就会更糟糕，所以答案选B．
34．E 考查上下文理解．根据上一句Someone at work disagrees with you，and it might make you become anxious工作中有人不同意你，可能会使你变得焦虑．下一句You'll be less likely to become bothered when presented with different situations当你遇到不同的情况时，你不可能感到烦恼．上下句之间应该是一种转折关系，所以答案选E然而有经验你可以学习如何向他人清楚地呈现你的观点．所以答案选E．
35．A 信息提取题．根据下一句Age doesn't always mean that someone is wise，and wisdom doesn't always mean that someone is patient．年龄并不总是意味着有人是聪明的，智慧并不意味着有耐心．所以上一句应该是耐心来自经验和智慧．答案选A．
