Failure is probably the most fatiguing (令人疲劳的)experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding, being blocked, not moving ahead. It is an evil circle. Failure causes fatigue, and fatigue makes it harder to get to work, which adds to the fatigue.

    We experience this tiredness in two main ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task that we are forced to take up. Either because it is too boring or because it is too difficult, we avoid it. And the longer we put it off, the more tired we feel.

   Such start-up fatigue is very real, even not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The remedy (治疗法) is obvious, though perhaps not easy to apply: willpower exercise. The moment I find myself turning away from a job, or putting it under a pile of things I have to do, I clear my desk of everything else and attack the difficult item first. To prevent start-up fatigue, always treat the most difficult job first.

   Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Here we are willing to get started, but we can't seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear to be insurmountable and however hard we work, we fail again and again. The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can, then let the unconsciousness take over.

72.. Which of the following can be called an evil circle？

??   A. Success-zeal-success-zeal.

??   B. Failure-tiredness-failure-tiredness.

??   C. Failure-zeal-failure-tiredness.

??   D. Success-tiredness-success-tiredness.

73.. According to the passage , when keeping putting off a task, we can experience _______.

??   A. tiredness    B. performance fatigue   C. start-up fatigue   D. unconsciousness

74.To overcome start-up fatigue, we need ________ .

??   A. toughness   B. prevention           C. muscles        D. strong willpower

75.. The underlined word "insurmountable" in the last paragraph probably means ________ .

??   A. that can not be overcome              B. that are known

??   C. that can not be imagined               D. that can not be objected

It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.

Most do not fully see this truth. __1.    It seems to them that their difficulties represent (stand for) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.

__2.    Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.__3.  

__4.    When we desire（希望） to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we ncourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. __5.   As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct" (应该从痛苦艰辛中学习和获得指示。). It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems. （words: 171）

A．Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure.

B．Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn（谴责） us for failing.

C．It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.

D．Yet, it is in this whole process（过程） of solving problems that life has its meaning.

E. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.

F. We don’t know how to make money and participate(join) in problem solving collaboration (合作、协作) groups.

G. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.
