I felt quite puzzled,【7】 even made me doubt that the experiment would make sense.【8】 (gradual), I was not enthusiastic about it. After all, too much hard work and too little rest led to illness.

【解析】此文为记叙文，文章主要介绍了作者通过实验找到治愈疾病的方法的故事。
【1】考查被动语态。“我”与“提供公寓”之间是被动关系，所以用was offered。
【2】考查介词短语。此处表示除了去公园，自己没有出过公寓。apart from为固定短语，表示“除了”。
【3】考查不定式。此处表示为了做实验自己没出公寓。此处表目的，应该用不定式。
【4】考查名词单复数。根据谓语were 可知，result要用复数results。
【5】考查形容词。根据语境可知，此处表示实验结果很有价值，放在were之后用形容词做表语，所以是valuable。
【6】考查冠词。可数名词前要用冠词，“得出结论”是draw a conclusion。
【7】考查定语从句。此处表示自己的困惑使自己怀疑实验是否有意义，非限制性定语从句缺主语用关系代词，指前面的事情，所以用which合适。
【8】考查副词。根据语境可知，此处表示“逐渐地，我对它不再有热情”，此处作状语修饰整个句子，用副词。
【9】考查非谓语。根据句子成分分析，此句有谓语动词went，没有连词，因此要用非谓语，再根据inspire 与I 之间是被动关系，表被激励，所以用过去分词inspired。
【10】考查介词短语。根据语境可知，此处表示“第二天我自豪地宣告疾病得到了控制”。“得到控制”用under control。

If you said you were suffering from “burnout” in the early 1970s, you might have raised some eyebrows.
At the time, the term was informally to describe the side effects that heavy drug users experienced.
However, in 1974, a German-American psychologist Herbert Freudenberger found the volunteers at his clinic were struggling, too: their work was tough, and many were lacking in motivation. Freudenberger defined this condition as a state of extreme tiredness caused by constant overwork－and borrowed the term “burnout” to describe it.
Late last month, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the problem will be recognized as a syndrome (综合征) “resulting from workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.”
Feeling the burn so how can you tell if you’re almost burned out?
“A lot of the signs and symptoms of pre-burnout would be very similar to depression,” says Siobhan Murray, a psychotherapist. She suggests looking out for bad habits, such as increased alcohol consumption and relying on sugar to get you through the day. Also watch out for feelings of tiredness that won’t go away or not having the energy to exercise or go for a walk. As soon as you begin to feel this way, Murray advises going to see your doctor. “Depression and pre-burnout are very similar. But it is still classified as an occupational phenomenon which is still best tackled by making lifestyle changes.”
And how do you know if you’re really on the edge of burnout? “Stress is really important, and anxiety is what motivates us to do well,” says Murray. “It’s when we’re continually exposed to stress and anxiety that it starts to turn into burnout.”
You’re pre-burnout: What’s next?
“Sometimes they feel the need to be too perfect so they’re having to work very hard to cover up that they’re not quite as good as everyone thinks.” Another therapist Walker says.
However, sometimes the work environment is the problem. According to a 2018 study of 7,500 US workers, burnout comes from unfair treatment at work, an unmanageable workload and not knowing what a person’s role should involve. Workers were also stressed out by a lack of support from their manager and punreasonable time pressure.
Whatever the cause of your burnout, Murray’s top tip is to be kind to yourself.
In Murray’s experience, a key driver of burnout is today’s culture of wanting it all. Often it’s just not possible to have a healthy social life and complete a big project at the same time. She says it’s vital to prioritize and not expect too much of yourself; when others seem like the perfect boss, parent and friend all at the same time, they’re probably misleading us.
If you feel that you might be close to joining the burnout club, take a step back, figure out what’s going wrong－and let yourself off the hook.
