We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. We`re often tempted to “spill the beans”， even if we regret it later.‎ According to Asim Shah，professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine，US，keeping a secret may well “become a burden”. This is because people often have an “obsessive（无法摆脱的）and anxious urge to share it with someone”.‎ An earlier study，led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression anxiety，and body aches，reported the Daily Mail.‎ But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all？Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend.‎ ‎ Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone,” according to Shah.‎ He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn't mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.‎ Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself in their position Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn't give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone's secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn't so secret anymore.‎ ‎36. The underlined phrase "spill the bean" is closest in meaning to___________.‎ A. let out a secret B. tell the truth C. eat our words D. take gossip ‎37. A person who is entrusted with a secret__________.‎ A. is often obsessed with a certain threat B. often would rather not have been told about it C. usually has a strong desire to keep it until death D. may suffer from physical or psychological problems ‎38. What's the best title for the passage?‎ A. Walls have ears. B. Still tongues make wise heads.‎ C. A word spoken is past recalling. D. Every wall has a crack.‎ ‎【答案】36. A 37. D 38. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了每个人都有秘密，每个人都会替别人保守秘密，可是心中的秘密过多是对身体不好的，会造成压力。同时秘密也不可能被永远保守，只要是发生了的事情总是会被他人知道的。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据上文We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us． But it can be hard to keep a secret．可知当有人告诉我们一个秘密时，我们会听到这些话，但是很难保守秘密。即使我们后来后悔了，我们也经常想把保守的秘密透露出去，可知划线短语意识为“泄露秘密”，故选A。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression， anxiety， and body aches．可知知道他人秘密、替他人保守秘密的人会患上抑郁症、焦虑症和身体疼痛。故选D。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，主要讲述了每个人都有秘密，每个人都会替别人保守秘密，可是心中的秘密过多是对身体不好的，会造成压力。同时秘密也不可能被永远保守，只要是发生了的事情总是会被他人知道的。A. Walls have ears.隔墙有耳；B. Still tongues make wise heads. 智者寡言。C. A word spoken is past recalling. 一言既出，驷马难追。；D.

Effie came often, always bringing some gift: a jar of peaches or some firewood. There were other generosities. ___40___‎ Effie was not a rich woman. Her income, derived from investments she had made while running an interior decorating shop. had never exceeded $200 a month, which she supplemented by selling her apples.

She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year. “Here, darling,” I said, “is what l owe you.”___41___‎ ‎“Give it back as I gave it to you--a little at a time.” I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt.‎ The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died a few weeks later. By now, the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times. But a curious thing began to happen.‎ Whenever I saw a fellow human in financial trouble, I was moved to help him. I can't afford to do this always, but in the ten years since Effie's death, I have indirectly repaid my debt to her.‎ ‎___42___ At that time, it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled. So the account can never be marked closed. for Effie's love will go on in hearts that have never known her.‎ A. Our baby was not doing well, so Effie financed my wife's trip to New York for consultation with a specialist.‎ B. Give your help to those in greater need.‎ C. The oddest part of the whole affair is that people whom I help often help others later on.‎ D.
