2024年冲刺重庆一诊英语考试集训题 专题03 阅读理解 15篇 （2024·重庆彭水·一模）Every day after school, I usually spend time on a very popular app called Keep. Every time I open it, four words come into sight: Self­discipline (自律) Brings Me Freedom. However, self­discipline for many people means suffering (痛苦) rather than pleasure. Some people are influenced by some videos to form “perfectly” shaped bodies in a strict way. And then they decide to be as self­disciplined as people in these videos. But life doesn’t go the way most of us expected. For example, when the cold hits, people have to give up their exercise plans for a while. There are many difficulties preventing us from being self­disciplined. Every step towards our goals brings us suffering. And sometimes the pressure we have put on ourselves only keeps making us feel worse. I used to be sad about this, too. Later, through tries and mistakes, I found a perfect way to solve this problem: setting short­term goals and going step by step. After thinking about different tasks that could make me give up, I realized that most of them shared the same thing—they brought more suffering than joy. Why not divide a “huge” task into smaller ones to solve the problem? For example, it’s hard to lose 20 kilograms in a short time. But what about 2 kilos? This seems much easier to achieve and brings us less pressure. We can finally achieve the same goal. What’s more, we will get much pleasure through everyday progress. In this way, self­discipline has never been suffering for me. Instead, it has become my own power. 1．For many people, self­discipline will bring them ________. A．pain B．pleasure C．experience D．freedom 2．After feeling the pressure, the writer ________. A．shared her problems and asked for help B．tried her best to get through it C．gave up the task for a while D．decided to lose 20 kilograms 3．The writer’s main purpose of writing the passage is to ________． A．help us lose weight step by step B．encourage us to find more pleasure C．ask us to keep
