Question

One day, a teacher was giving a speech to his students. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"
The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. "It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救護車). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. "
If we carry our burdens (負擔) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. "
"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”
We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed (使恢復) and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.

解析試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了老師通過告訴學生端一杯水一時不累，但時間久了會承受不了。來說明有時我們不得不放下負擔,這樣我們可以恢復過來 ，并能夠繼續前行。
【小題1】推理判斷題。根據短文描述，老師通過給學生舉端一杯水一時不累，但時間久了會承受不了。來說明有時我們不得不放下負擔,這樣我們可以恢復過來 ，并能夠繼續前行。所以是一個例子。故選C。
【小題2】推理判斷題。根據第二段第三段可知作者把水比成了負擔。故選B。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed (使恢復) and are able to carry on.描述我們不得不放下負擔,這樣我們可以恢復過來 ，并能夠繼續前行。比較四個選項，C更合適。
【小題4】主旨大意題。根據四個選項A怎樣在生活中使自己放松B怎樣解決身體問題B怎樣通過喝水保持健康。D怎樣學習好。結合文章故選A。
【小題5】歸納理解題。根據the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.可知是杯子變得越來越重，故A錯誤 ，由The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 可知學生不知道杯子的重量，故B錯誤，文章沒有提及學生對老師所講的理解，故D錯誤，所以選C。老師通過端一杯水的時間越長會感覺越重來說明人生要放下負擔，才會方松。
