116、any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do.Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death and those who are bored to death.

The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest

121、 forms. But Fortunes favoured children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation. Yet to both classes the ne

122、ed of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential.

130、在下班后享受这种乐趣。故选C。【71题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential.

131、”可知，然而，对这两类人来说，换一种观点、改变一下气氛、转移一下注意力都是必不可少的。的确，把工作当作娱乐的人可能是最需要每隔一段时间就把工作从脑子里赶出去的人。根据第三段，作者会同意“为了更好地工作，一个人确实需要改变。”的看法。故选D。【点睛】做推理判断题时，对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机、事件的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析，进一步增强理解能力，抓住材料实质性的东西。本题第3小题，根据第三段中“They have their compensations.

In the absence of that capacity, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own a

158、bilities. Theres a paradox here, the authors note: “The skills that engender competence in a particular domain are often the very same skills necessary to evaluate competence in that domain.” In other words, to get better at judging how well were doing at an activity, we have to get better at the ac

182、少大脑老化。【81题详解】根据后文“目前还没有保护大脑的灵丹妙药，但有一个领域得到了最好的研究，对此我们可以相当自信地说，“这将会有帮助”，那就是大脑活动。”可知E项“人们提出了许多实现这一目标的方法，但没有几个具有科学意义。”和后句内容相互说明。同时E项中的“这一目标”指代前段提到的“improve the operation of the brains software”。E项在此起着承上启下的作用。E项切题，故选E项。【82题详解】根据下文“事实上，研究发现，认知储备高的人患痴呆症的症状不那么严重，即使他们的大脑损伤比认知储备低的人严重。”可知，此处强调尽管大脑损伤程度可能比认知储备低的

183、人严重，但是认知储备高的人患老年痴呆的症状不那么严重。所以C项“尽管他们的大脑实际上显示出正常数量的与年龄和疾病相关的损伤。”和下文之间相互说明。同时C项的内容也承接了上句内容“例如，研究发现，智商较高、受教育时间较长或从事具有认知挑战性的工作的人患痴呆症的风险较低。”C项切题。故选C项。【83题详解】根据划线后面“我们对它在保护我们大脑中作用以及如何增强我们的储备了解得越多，我们就能更有效地设计干预措施，使人类大脑更健康。”可知，此处提及了我们需要提高对认知储备的潜力的了解。因此F项“然而，对于优化大脑弹性的认知储备的潜力，仍有很多有待发现。”对下文起总领的作用。F项中的“认知储备”就是下文

184、it所指代的对象。F项切题，故选F项。【84题详解】根据前句“好消息是，认知储备并不是只有那些拥有天才般的智商或者毕生致力于理论物理学的人才拥有的。”可知，认知储备是人人都可获得的。所以A项“我们认为它可以在每个人的一生中建立起来。”是对前句进行补充说明。同时A项承接着下句“所以无论你多大年纪，参加具有挑战性的认知活动、学习新技能并继续“使用或失去它”都可能适用。”A项在此承上启下。A项切题。故选A项。V.
