第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

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 the porch of a general store, moaning and groaning(呻吟) 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 exciting 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(劫持) their self-esteem, passion or dreams.

56. 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. her work was difficult and her boss was cruel

D. she was not satisfied with her job at all

57. 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. did exactly the same job all along D. left her tiring job at last

58. The underlined word “Prolonged” (in Paragraph 4) mean
