Question

One day, a teacher was giving a speech to his students. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"
The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. "It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救護車). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. "
If we carry our burdens (負擔) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. "
"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”
We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed (使恢復) and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.

解析試題分析：本文主要講述生活中我們應該學會放松，放下負擔。本文以一個老師詢問同學們一杯水的重量為例，向同學們講述生活要學會放松，減壓。
【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第三段介紹If we carry our burdens (負擔) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. "“如果我們一直承受負擔，我們遲早會承受不住，負擔就會變得越重�！笨芍�作者將負擔比喻成一杯水，故選B。
【小題2】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第五段We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed (使恢復) and are able to carry on.“我們有時必須要將負擔放下來，以至于我們可以恢復能力繼續(xù)承擔。”可知，有時將負擔放下來可以是我們放松。故選C。
【小題3】主旨大意題。本文以一個老師詢問一杯水的重量為例告訴大家要懂得放松，學會釋放壓力。因此答案為A，在生活中如何使自己放松。
【小題4】推理判斷題。根據文章第二段最后一句It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. "可知水的重量是不變的，但是你拿的越久就會越累不是越重，所以A錯誤；根據文章第二段第一句The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g.可知B錯誤；選項D文中沒有提到；而選項C所述：老師用一杯水為例告訴大家要學會放松，這一方式通俗易懂。故選C。
