3、Id never been with a man who was smarter than I was，but after a while I got used to this，and it didnt bother me so much.I was recovering from a broken heart and needed something to help me move on.If it wasnt love，it was good enough，and when he asked me to marry him I jumped at the chance，knowing th

4、at it might be my last.Things started out so well.I was working steadily and Desmond was patiently climbing up the ladder in his department.Then，without any warning，one gray winter afternoon in year five，he just upped and left his desk at the bank，handed in his resignation，and came home and told me

5、he wanted to start an interior design business.He has always loved mixing and matching，and has a real eye for color，texture，and shape，but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasnt something we had ever discussed.I thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he would take

15、nsive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear，anxiety and worry.Defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves.They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems.And this gives them a sense of control.Lawrence Sanno，a p

16、sychology professor，says，“Whats interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people，so their low opinion of the situations outcomes is not realistic.They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”So far，so good.This_is_not_rocket_science.Defensive pessimists

17、prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong，whether at work，on a date or even in a sports game.It makes sense to have a back­up plan.There are many sayings in English urging caution.For example，“Dont put all your eggs in one basket，” and “Dont count your chickens until they hatch.” To ha

21、ple to understand解析：选D。细节理解题。“This is not rocket science”这句话承上启下，前文末尾提到悲观主义者非常成功，其原因是对事情结果低调的判断促使其做得更好。由下文可知，防御性悲观主义者准备仔细，总是考虑在工作、约会或者在体育竞赛中可能会出错的事情。由此可知该句应起连接或递进作用。故D项“这是显而易见的道理”符合语境。7The writer would probably describe himself as_Aa successBa failureCa realist Da scientist解析：选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段“There a
