解析
36 废寝忘食工作这种现象是如此的普遍，以至于人们认为这种工作方式是正常的。
37 本句是为对第一句话进行论证而举的例子。
38 联系上下文意思可知，废寝忘食工作者没有其它的兴趣爱好，而他们又宁愿工作而不愿无所事事。因此，本句句意为：他们不忘我的工作，因为他们确实没有其他办法，他们这样工作是因为他们愿意。
39 下文所举的例子表明废寝忘食的工作，可能导致身体上严重的疾病或家庭的破裂。因此可知，这种工作方式有时候会导致很严重的问题。
40 根据下一句所进行的解释中might可知答案。
41 横线上所缺的是谓语动词，根据所缺宾语和上下文的解释可得知答案。
42 根据上文的解释，废寝忘食的工作者宁愿工作也不愿无所事事可得知答案。hate doing/to do 不喜欢做某事。
43 下文列举的疾病都是指身体方面问题。
44 前文所列举的是因废寝忘食的工作导致身体方面的疾病，后文所列举的是因为废寝忘食的工作而导致的家庭方面的问题，这两者之间应是并列递进关系。
45 根据空格后面as所引导的原因状语从句和上一句的解释可得知答案。
46 B
上文所列举的例子都是因为废寝忘食工作而引起的不良影响，而下文所举的例子都是一些积极的作用。根据这一点可知，此句既是对上一句的反问，又起承上启下的作用。
47 本题考查在特定语境下使用动词修饰语的能力。sadly伤心地；differently不同地；slowly慢慢地；efficiently有效率地。根据下文意思 “工作狂”在工作的时候感到精力充沛，兴趣盎然可得知答案。
48 根据前后句的解释可得知答案。
49 根据上文的解释可知，只有工作才能使他们精力旺盛，因为这给他们提供了一个挑战的机会。再者，根据53个空后面也可得知答案。
50 上文主要阐述的是，很多人喜欢废寝忘食工作，以及因其所产生的影响，而下文则是解释为什么废寝忘食工作者这么喜欢工作。
51 下文所列举的都是废寝忘食工作所带来的积极影响。
52 根据上下文意思可知，废寝忘食工作不仅能为这些工作者提供资金，而且还能给他们自信。no more不再……；more or less或多或少；no more than仅仅。
53 本句为一个时间状语从句。当工作能给他们提供一个挑战的机会，而且最后他们能说“我成功了”的时候，他们会有一种成就感。
54 本题考查固定词组的搭配。make it成功。
55 本句是对本段大意所进行的总结。根据上下文可知，在工作之后，他们能体会到自我成功的价值。

A(n) 41 expression crossed my daughter’s face．“Then why are you doing that?”
“Because your Mommy is a special person, and I like to 42 her．” he answered．
“Oh,” she happily replied, and then skipped out of the room．“I’m going to help my brother．”
As our children’s 43 teachers, we know that little eyes watch our every move．They imitate not only our actions, but our 44 ．For example, we often hear our children 45 their brothers, sisters or friends in a 46 we know they learned from 47 ．But on the positive side, the propensity (倾向性) to 48 can serve us well when we try to model, and 49 teach, an attitude of kindness and cheerful servanthood．
We all try to do nice things for our family．Think about the last time when you cooked a meal or folded laundry． 50 did you feel about 51 your family in this way? Were you glad to do it 52 did you feel resentful that you were stuck with this mundane (平凡的) chore? 53 , none of us has a cheerful servant’s heart every day． 54 if we want our children willingly to reach out to others and show kindness and compassion, it is essential that they see us doing the 55 ．

This study examined whether self-reported pain is indeed higher when the events producing the pain are understood as intentionally caused by another person．For the study, the researchers told 40 volunteers that they were going to do a series of tasks, including color matching, number counting and discomfort assessment．This last task involved their receiving a brief electric shock to the wrist．They were told that a partner, sitting in another room, would choose which task they would do, and a computer screen helped them to know their partner’s choice．
In some cases, the volunteers were told their partner had chosen the pain tolerance test．In others, they were told the computers would select the pain tolerance test regardless of their partner’s choice．When volunteers thought that their partners were making the shocks on them on purpose, the feeling made the pain worse．As a matter of fact, they were the same．
This study provides evidence that the experience of pain changes depending upon how they think when people have been harmed．Specifically, the meaning of a harm — whether it was intended — influences the amount of pain it causes．So, although a broken toe may hurt, an intentionally broken toe should hurt more．
