问题         We often take a militaristic, "tough" approach to resilience and grit. We imagine a marine slogging through the mud, a boxer going one more round, or a football player picking himself up off the turf for one more play. We believe that the longer we tough it out, the tougher we are, and therefore the more successful we will be. However, this entire conception is scientifically inaccurate.
        The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability to be resilient and successful. Research has found that there is a direct correlation between lack of recovery and increased incidence of health and safety problems. And lack of recovery—whether by disrupting sleep with thoughts of work or having continuous cognitive arousal by watching our phones—is costing our companies $62 billion a year (that’s billion, not million) in lost productivity.
        The misconception of resilience is often bred from an early age. Parents trying to teach their children resilience might celebrate a high school student staying up until 3 a.m. to finish a science fair project. What a distortion of resilience! A resilient child is a well-rested one. When an exhausted student goes to school, he risks hurting everyone on the road with his impaired driving; he doesn’t have the cognitive resources to do well on his English test; he has lower self-control with his friends; and at home, he is moody with his parents. Overwork and exhaustion are the opposite of resilience. And the bad habits we learn when we’re young only magnify when we hit the workforce.
        The key to resilience is trying really hard, then stopping, recovering, and then trying again. This conclusion is based on biology. Homeostasis is a fundamental biological concept describing the ability of the brain to continuously restore and sustain well-being. Positive neuroscientist Brent Furl from Texas A&M University coined the term "homeostatic value" to describe the value that certain actions have for creating equilibrium, and thus well-being, in the body. When the body is out of alignment from overworking, we waste a vast amount of mental and physical resources trying to return to balance before we can move forward.
        If you have too much time in the performance zone, you need more time in the recovery zone, otherwise you risk burnout. Mustering your resources to "try hard" requires burning energy in order to overcome your currently low arousal level. This is called upregulation. It also exacerbates exhaustion. Thus the more imbalanced we become due to overworking, the more value there is in activities that allow us to return to a state of balance. The value of a recovery period rises in proportion to the amount of work required of us.
        So how do we recover and build resilience? Most people assume that if you stop doing a task like answering emails or writing a paper, that your brain will naturally recover, such that when you start again later in the day or the next morning, you’ll have your energy back. But surely everyone reading this has had times where you lie in bed for hours, unable to fall asleep because your brain is thinking about work. If you lie in bed for eight hours, you may have rested, but you can still feel exhausted the next day. Because your brain has not received a break from high mental arousal states.
According to the passage, what is the relationship between recovery and resilience?
选项 A、Without the ability to be resilient, it will be more difficult for us to recover.
B、Our ability to be resilient is negatively affected if there is no chance to recover.
C、The more recovery time we have, the more resilient we will be.
D、The increase of health and safety problems is usually caused by lack of recovery.
答案B
解析 推断题。题干：根据文章，恢复和韧性之间有什么关系？A项“没有韧性，我们会更难恢复”，文中并没有提到没有韧性恢复会怎样，故A项错误。文章第二段第一句提到“The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability to be resilient and successful.(缺少恢复期会大大抑制我们的韧性，降低成功几率)”由此可知，如果不能适时恢复，我们的韧性就会受到影响，故B项“如果没有恢复的机会，我们的韧性会受到负面影响”正确。文中只是说要获得韧性，工作一段时间之后需要有一定的恢复期，并且工作的时间越长，需要越多的恢复，但是并没有说恢复的时间越长，韧性就越好，故C项“我们的恢复时间越长，我们的韧性就越好”排除。D项“健康和安全问题的增多通常是由于缺乏恢复"并没有说明恢复和韧性之间的关系，属于答非所问，故排除。
