Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述了如今很多人都沒有掌握耐心的藝術，在遇到某些困難的時候就會失去耐心，而這篇文章告訴了我們有關耐心的重要性以及耐心與智慧及經驗是相伴的．

解答 36．B  本題考查前后句子聯系，根據前文Sometimes a certain situation or a certain person just pushes our buttons，making it much more difficult for us to remain patient．可知有時候一些事情可能會使我們失去耐心，因此后文所述應該與失去耐心之后的事情有關，故選B．
37．C  本題考查邏輯推理，由后文No one is born to be patient．As you learn and grow and experience things in life，you become wiser and learn how to interact with difficult kinds of people．可知本段講述的是沒有人生來就是耐心的，又提到了學習，因此前面應該填與學習如何有耐心有關，故選C．
38．G  本題考查前后句子聯系，由后文This is normal，as you have never had the experience of working in an office before．可知前文應該是提到與在辦公室工作有關，并且沒有工作經驗不知要怎么做，故選G．
39．E  本題考查轉折關系，根據前后文Someone at work disagrees with you，and it might make you become anxious．及You'll be less likely to become bothered when presented with different situations．前面說明工作中有人不同意你會使你感到焦慮，而后面則說明在不同情況你也可能不會被打擾，因此此處應當連接一個轉折的語句，故選E．
40．A本題考查前后句子的聯系，根據后文Age doesn't always mean that someone is wise，and wisdom doesn't always mean that someone is patient，though the two often go hand in hand．可知前文中應當提到智慧與耐心是相伴的，故選A．
