[2023河南郑州二测]I never imagined that smene telling me I lked skinny wuld anger me. And yet， I was made very angry when a clleague pinched （捏）my waist and screamed， "Rsa， yu’ve lst weight. Yu lk great！" The truth is that I was tired and nt taking care f myself. I decided t start a prper weight-lss prgram.
The first t g wuld be rad rage （路怒）.I am in far less cntrl f this weight than any ther. Every time smething gets in the way， I fly ff the handle. I need t lse rad rage！ N， n mre speed. Instead， I nw repeat the wrds， "I am nt in a hurry." This year， I will drive safely， allwing the "stupid" t happen all arund me. Frm that， I hpe t gain patience.
Next is guilt. When guilt drives my cnscience t d better， it’s functinal. But when it presents itself as an internal dialgue that ges nwhere， it’s useless. This year， I want t stp feeling guilty fr nt keeping a cleaner huse， fr spending time away frm my children t be with friends， fr nt attending every party because I’d rather be at hme， r fr watching TV when I shuld be reading. My image and perfrmance are nt at the back f anyne else’s mind but my wn. Frm this， I hpe t gain freedm t be myself.
The last is fear. Fear has held me back. Fear f failure has prevented me frm being a writer. Fear f embarrassment has prevented me frm giving an pinin. Fear f being rejected has stpped me frm aiming higher in my life. Fear f regret has led me int situatins that made me uncmfrtable. If I can lse any ne f these fears， I stand t gain experience.
S， if I can lse the rage， shake ff sme guilt， and take fear ff my plate， I stand t gain patience， freedm， and experience. Pund fr pund I have nt lst a thing but I will be much lighter. Next time， I hpe my clleague lks me in the eye t see my glw instead f pinching part f me that has nthing t d with hw great I really lk.
作者开展了一个恰当的"减肥"项目：一、丢掉路怒，变得有耐心。二、丢掉愧疚，让自己能够拥有更多的自由。三、丢掉恐惧，增加经验。

二、七选五
There’s a widely held belief that self-discipline means being able t d smething when peple dn’t actually want t d it. 1 But this view f self-discipline is nt right.
Cntaining ne’s authenticity cmes at a cst. 2 There was a time when I lived very inauthentically. Instead f fllwing my sincere desire t becme a psychlgist， I studied engineering. I neglected my authentic self and tried t meet scial expectatins. I thught I was ding what I shuld d t succeed and be respected by sciety. 3 And this lss f cnnectin cst me dear， causing me t develp lts f health prblems. S what des it really mean t be self-disciplined？
4 Rather than trying t cntain r cntrl their genuine feelings， they try t understand them. Then they learn hw t allw their authentic self t develp. And by ding s， they live lives f whleness and happiness.
But hw des smene becme such a persn in the first place？ They fllw their wn interests and deal with the challenges that they persnally feel called t manage. 5 Fr them， self-cntrl is never a prblem. They mve as ne harmnius unit — their perfect self wrks harmniusly with the authentic self t prmte their grwth.
S here’s the secret t self-discipline. Self-discipline is nt abut frcing yurself t meet scial expectatins， but fllwing yur wn dream and allwing yur authentic self t develp.
A. I knw this frm first-hand experience.
B. I didn’t believe this in my previus life.
C. Truly self-disciplined peple are fllwers f themselves.
D. Frcing yurself t d things yu dn’t want t d is nt self-discipline.
E. They g after what they genuinely want， nt what sciety tells them t d.
F. Gradually， I became ut f tuch with my wn true feelings， desires， and nature.
G. Fr them， self-discipline means ignring their real self in favur f the perfect self.
本文是说明文。人们普遍认为自律意味着当他们实际上不想做某事时却能够去做。但这种观点是错误的。本文主要探讨了什么是自律以及如何成为一个自律的人。
1.G 空前提到人们普遍认为自律意味着当他们实际上不想做某事时却能够去做。空后提到但是这种观点是错误的。因此空处内容应与错误的自律观点有关，且与下文形成转折关系。G项"对他们来说，自律意味着忽视真实的自我而追求理想的自我"符合语境。G项中的"them"与空前的"peple"相对应。
2.A 空前提到"抑制一个人的真实性是有代价的"。再结合空后内容可知，本段主要通过作者的亲身经历来说明这一感悟。由此可知，空处内容应与作者的经历和这一感悟有关。A项"我从亲身经历中了解到这一点"承上启下，符合语境。
3.F 空前提到作者忽视了真实的自我，努力满足社会的期望。作者认为自己正在做为了获得成功并受到社会的尊重而应该做的事。空后提到了失去与真实自我的联系让作者付出了巨大的代价，给作者带来了很多健康问题。由此可知，空处内容应涉及作者忽视真实的自我的后果，且与失去某种联系有关。F项"渐渐地，我不懂自己的真实情感、欲望和本性了"与上下文衔接紧密，符合语境。F项中的"became ut f tuch"与空后的"this lss f cnnectin"的对应关系亦是提示。
4.C 上一段结尾问"那么自律到底意味着什么呢？"，空后提到他们不是试图压制或控制自己的真实情感，而是试图去理解它们。然后他们学习如何让真实的自我得以发展。通过这样做，他们过着完整和幸福的生活。由此可知，空处内容应与真正的自律有关，且包含空后的"they"的指代对象。C项"真正自律的人是自己的追随者"能承接上文，并概括本段内容，符合语境。
5.E 本段主要围绕如何成为自己的追随者展开。空前提到他们遵循自己的兴趣，处理他们个人觉得需要应对的挑战（这是在介绍具体的做法）。空后提到对他们来说，自我控制从来不是问题。他们作为一个和谐的整体行动——他们理想的自我与真实的自我和谐共处，以促进他们的成长（这是成为自己的追随者的结果）。由此可知，空处应与成为自己的追随者的具体做法有关。E项"他们追求自己真正想要的东西，而不是社会让他们去追求的东西"能够衔接上下文，符合语境。
