Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person
Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common?
There is one answer. 33 .
In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However,
research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
●Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more
optimistic. 34 . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of
California.
● Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research
suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit
of waiting is to practice. 35 . Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes
before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to
other, more annoying situations.
● 36 .
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we
experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to
say to yourself, “ 37 .” You’ll then gradually become more patient.
A.Find your causes
B.Start with small tasks
C.Accept the uncomfortable
D.All this adds up to a state of hurry
E.It can also help us practice more patience
F.This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G.They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience

展览内容、讲座系列、展览时间、门票价格以及针对学校和学院的特别优惠等。
27.细节理解题。根据文章 Lecture Series部分中的“Raeburn’s English Contemporaries Thursday 30 Oct., 13:10
(雷伯恩同时期的英国画家:10月 30(周四),13:10)”可知,该讲座的时间是 10月 30日,周四。故选 B。
28.细节理解题。根据文章 Admission中的“£4. Children under 12 years accompanied by an adult are admitted/
free (4英镑。12岁以下儿童在成人陪同下可免费入场。)”可知,成人门票是 4英镑,12岁以下儿童在成人
陪同下免费。所以一对夫妇带着两个 12岁以下的孩子,只需支付两个成人的门票钱。也就是 4*2=8英镑。
故选 B。
29.细节理解题。根据文章 Schools and Colleges中的“A special low entrance charge of£2 per person is available
to all in full-time education, up to and including those at first degree level, in, organised groups with teachers. (所有
接受全日制教育的人员,包括直至并含本科一年级水平的学生,在有教师带领的团体组织下,可享受每人 2

后参加调查。故选 B项。
31.细节理解题。根据 Group Size 中第一点“We require one chaperone (监护人) per ten children. (我们要求每
十个孩子有一个监护人。)”可知,32个孩子的团体参观该博物馆需要 32/10=3.2,即 4个监护人。故选 D项。
32.细节理解题。根据 Guidelines中第二点“Children are not allowed unaccompanied in all areas of the Museum.
(儿童不得在无人陪同的情况下进入博物馆的所有区域。)”可知,儿童被禁止单独在博物馆里游览。故选 A
项。

common? There’s one answer. (这里有一个谜语:交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期开始有什么共同之处?答案只
有一个)”可知,本句说明上文谜语的答案,结合“交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期”这些情况可知都需要耐心。
故 G选项“在这些情况下,我们都需要一点额外的耐心”符合语境,故选 G。
34.根据上文“Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more
optimistic.(感恩有很多好处:研究表明,感恩让我们更快乐,压力更小,甚至更乐观)”以及后文““Showing
thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. (加州大学的研究员叶
丽说:“表达感激可以培养自我控制能力。”)”可知,上文提到了感恩的诸多好处,可知本句继续说明感恩的
好处:它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心。E选项中 It指代上文 Thankfulness。故 E选项“它还可以帮助我
们练习更多的耐心”符合语境,故选 E。
35.根据上文“And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. (我们养成等待习惯的唯一方
法就是练习)”以及后文“Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before
going for that cake. (把你最喜欢的节目推迟到周末再看,或者多等 10分钟再去吃蛋糕)”可知,后文列举的事
情都是日常的小事,说明要从小事开始练习等待,故 B选项“从小任务开始”符合语境,故选 B。
36.根据本段内容“So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when
we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. (我们中的许多人
都认为舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态,当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时,我们会对环境失去耐心)”可知,本
段提到了舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态,结合前文的小标题都是祈使句可知,本段的主旨与接受不舒适相关,
C选项中 uncomfortable对应后文 comfortable。故 C选项“接受不舒服”符合语境,故选 C。
37.根据上文“You should learn to say to yourself (你应该学会对自己说……)”以及后文“You’ll then gradually
become more patient. (然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心)”结合本段主要说明的是不舒服的状态,可知,本句为对自
己所说的话与接受不舒服相关,故 F选项“这仅仅是不舒服,而不是无法忍受”符合语境,故选 F。
