Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述了如今很多人都没有掌握耐心的艺术，在遇到某些困难的时候就会失去耐心，而这篇文章告诉了我们有关耐心的重要性以及耐心与智慧及经验是相伴的．

解答 36．B  本题考查前后句子联系，根据前文Sometimes a certain situation or a certain person just pushes our buttons，making it much more difficult for us to remain patient．可知有时候一些事情可能会使我们失去耐心，因此后文所述应该与失去耐心之后的事情有关，故选B．
37．C  本题考查逻辑推理，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．可知本段讲述的是没有人生来就是耐心的，又提到了学习，因此前面应该填与学习如何有耐心有关，故选C．
38．G  本题考查前后句子联系，由后文This is normal，as you have never had the experience of working in an office before．可知前文应该是提到与在办公室工作有关，并且没有工作经验不知要怎么做，故选G．
39．E  本题考查转折关系，根据前后文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．前面说明工作中有人不同意你会使你感到焦虑，而后面则说明在不同情况你也可能不会被打扰，因此此处应当连接一个转折的语句，故选E．
40．A本题考查前后句子的联系，根据后文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．可知前文中应当提到智慧与耐心是相伴的，故选A．
