10、he most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the lon

11、ger we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always deal with the most difficult job first. Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on t

12、he great ideas of some famous authors. Using my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works. Performance fatigue is

13、more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can then let the unconscious take over. When planning Encyclopedia Britannica大英百

14、科全书, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with ideas, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this p

15、roblem could not be settled. I tried to tell myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relaxed, I sat back in a chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the answer clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the answer which had come up in my unconscious

16、 mind turned out correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe we must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.( ) 21. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to _

17、 . A. delay tasks B. work hard C. seek help D. accept failure( ) 22. When will a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A. Before starting a difficult task. B. When all the solutions fail. C. If the job is rather boring. D. After finding a way out.( ) 23. What could be the best title for t

18、he passage? A. Success Is Built upon Failure B. How to Handle Performance Fatigue C. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success D. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health ProblemsBEtymology, the study of words and word roots, may sound like the kind of things done by boring librarians in small, dusty rooms. Ye

19、t etymologists actually have a uniquely interesting job. They are in many ways just like archaeologists (考古学家) digging up the physical history of people and events. The special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history, so to speak, through the words and phrases that are left behind.The English

20、 language, in particular, is a great field to explore history through words. As a language, English has an extraordinary number of words. This is partly because of its ability to take in foreign words easily. For example, “English” words such as kindergarten (from German), croissant (from French), a

21、nd cheetah (from Hindi) have become part of the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings. So English-language etymologists have a vast world of words to explore.Another enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries (谜). No, etymolog

22、ists do not go around solving murders, like the great detective Sherlock Holmes. What these word experts solve are mysterious origins of some of our most common words.One of the biggest questions English language experts have pursued is how English came to have the phrase OK. Though it is one of the

23、 most commonly used expressions, its exact beginning is a puzzle even to this day. Even its spelling is not entirely consistent - unless you spell it Okay, it is hard even to call it a word.Etymologists have been able to narrow OKs origin down to a likely, although not certain, source (来源). It becam

24、e widely used around the time of Martin Van Burens run for president in 1840. His nickname was Old Kinderhook. What troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before Van Buren became well known. It is likely that Van Buren could be called its primary

25、source. Etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching for the original source. However, it is clear that OKs popularity and reputation have topped those of the American president to whom it has been most clearly linked.( ) 24. The author mentions the words like “croissant” in Paragraph 2 to show _. A

26、. words have changed a lot in the two languages B. what English-language etymologists are exploring now C. English has got many words from other foreign languages D. the English vocabulary is difficult to the non-English-speaking people( ) 25. The underlined word “pursued” in Paragraph 4 means _. A.

27、 looked upon B. dug up C. put in D. set down( ) 26. We can learn from the passage that etymologists _. A. discover the possible origin of words B. help detectives to solve mysterious murders C. write interesting stories for some newspapers D. explore the English language as well as the recent events

28、( ) 27. What most probably is the major purpose of the passage? A. To present the history of English words. B. To explain what an etymologist does for his job. C. To introduce the pleasure of the study of words and word roots. D. To teach readers how to tell English words from non-English words.第二节：
