_____________________. Sometimes you can lose sight of long-term goals in the rush towards instant gratification. Most people trying to lose weight have a hard time cutting out sugary or carb-loaded foods completely. It helps to cut these lofty long-term goals into smaller chunks. To encourage weight loss, you can slowly cut back on your calorie intake or increase your exercise regimen each week. Whatever route you take, setting those little goals will help you achieve the big ones faster.

　　Think of the things you’ve gained by being patient. When all else fails, I think of the good things that have happened in my life because I waited. Passing up on a few “so-so” job offers last year paved the way for me to land a job I really wanted. When you can think of positive outcomes that have come from waiting, it puts into perspective why it’s not always the best strategy to rush into things.

　　36. What does the author think of patience?

　　A. It makes our life easier.

　　B. It brings convenience to life.

　　C. It can be gained by slowing yourself down.

　　D. It is a common phenomenon in a “now” culture.

　　【答案】【解析】He’s not only a great example of someone who lives his life patiently, but he tells me if I’m getting too anxious or impatient.可知作者所说的有耐心指的是能够使自己慢下来，故选C。
