分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了問自己以下問題將有助于你走向更平衡的生活．

解答 37．E 考查對上下文語境的理解．空前句意Do you possess too much？Drowning ourselves in too many material possessions can lead to stress：你擁有太多嗎？擁有太多物質的東西會帶來壓力．故此空選（搞清楚你最需要什么，以及你能擺脫什么．故選E
38．B考查對上下文語境的理解．根據(jù)上文內容問的是否保持健康的關系，空前Are you maintaining healthy relationships？Is there a relationship in you life that needs a little extra care and attention句意：在你的生活中有需要特別關注的關系嗎？故此處選B（你是否需要給某人平反？）正確．故選B．
39．G 考查對上下文語境的理解．空后A lack of motivation to accomplish certain things can throw you off balance or make you feel stressed out later on句意：缺乏實現(xiàn)某些事情的動機會讓你失去平衡或者稍后會讓你感到筋疲力盡．故這里選G（我是否玩兒得太high了？）合適，故選G．
40．D 考查對上下文語境的理解． 空前Are you spending too much句意：你花錢太多了嗎？這里選D（過度消費會導致壓力）合適．故選D．
41．C．推理判斷題．空后Sometimes we get so wrapped up in taking care of others that we forget to take care of ourselves句意：有時候，我們太過于關心他人從而忘記了去照顧自己．故這里選C（我照顧好自己了嗎？）合適．故選C．

點評 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀，和完形填空很類似，不同的是一個選詞，一個選句子．解題時，要注意上下文語境，充分考慮信息詞（選項中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞），選出最符合語境的句子．
