问题     There is nothing more fatiguing than not succeeding-being blocked, not moving ahead. It is a【S1】______circle. Failure breeds fatigue, and the fatigue makes it harder to get to work, which tends to【S2】______the failure. We experience this tiredness in two main ways: as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a【S3】______that we are forced to take up. Either because it is too【S4】______or because it is too difficult, we avoid it. And the longer we【S5】______it, the more tired we feel.
    Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not【S6】______physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The remedy is obvious, though perhaps not【S7】______to apply: an exertion of will power. The moment I find myself turning away from a job, or putting it under a pile of other things I have to do, I clear my desk of everything else and attach the objectionable item first. To【S8】______start-up fatigue, always tackle the most difficult job first.
    Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Here we are not【S9】______to get started but we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear insurmountable and however hard we work, we fail again and again. The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-in- creasing burden of mental fatigue. In such a【S10】______, I work as hard as I can then let the unconscious take over.

[A] question          [F] easy            [K] tedious
[B] reluctant         [G] task            [L] situation
[C] consistently      [H] postpone        [M] accept
[D] vicious           [I] necessary       [N] breakthrough
[E] compound          [J] actually        [O] prevent [br] 【S3】
选项
答案 G
解析 由前面的a和we are forced to take up，可知此处需要填一个名词。前文说we keep putting off我们一直拖延，后文说we are forced to take up我们不得不从事，可知这应该是件有一定困难的事情。在众多名词选项中只有[G]task(任务)，暗含“困难”的意思，符合语境；take up task接收任务，符合搭配。
