　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　Once there was a young woman who didn’t like her job.Everyday when she came home from work，she told her husband how terrible her day had been，how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss.“Leave that job，” her husband told her.

　　“Oh，I will，” she said.“But not yet.I have too many friends there for me to leave.”And so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children.“Leave that job，” her grandchildren told her.“Oh，I will，”she said.“But not yet.There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire.So I can’t just yet.”

　　I know this woman.And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on a porch of a general store，moaning and groaning in the sun.“Why is your dog acting that way？” a customer asked the store owner.“Oh，” answered the man，“He’s lying on a nail.” “Well，why doesn’t he move？”“Because it’s not hurting him bad enough.”

　　That’s true for people，too.We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know.But we’re wrong.Prolonged work pain is continuing.Some work pain damages our self-esteem，kills our passion or destroys our dreams.

　　Wilbur Wright once commented，“We could hardly wait to get up in the morning.I know that exhilarating feeling of being so passionate about something I was working on that I couldn’t wait to get back to work.And people who are winning at working know that kind of passion，too.”

　　They get excited about work.They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly.And when things don’t change as they sometimes will，they refuse to let environment hijack their self-esteem，passion or dreams.

　　36．The woman complained to her husband every day because ________.

　　A．she didn’t have enough money to support her family

　　B．her boss criticized her for what she had done

　　C．she was not satisfied with her job at all

　　D．her work was difficult and her boss was cruel

　　37．From the second paragraph we can know that the woman ________.

　　A．liked making friends with others

　　B．loved all of her children very much

　　C．left her tiring job at last

　　D．did exactly the same job all along

　　38．The author mentioned the old dog in order to tell us that ________.

　　A．it was deeply hurt by its owner

　　B．the woman is like the dog on the nail

　　C．it is tied firmly to a nail by its owner

　　D．it should be injured badly enough

　　39．The underlined word “Prolonged” (in Paragraph 4) means ________.

　　A．lastingB．slightC．seriousD．hard

　　40．People who are getting along well with their work ________.

　　A．have to get up early every day
