问题     The quality of patience goes a long way toward your goal of creating a more peaceful and loving self. The more patient you are, the more accepting you will be of what life is, rather than insisting that life be exactly as you would like it to be. Without patience, life is extremely frustrating. You are easily annoyed, bothered, and irritated. Patience adds a dimension of ease and acceptance to your life. It’s essential for inner peace. Becoming more patient involves opening your heart to the present moment, even if you don’t like it If you are stuck in a traffic jam, late for an appointment, being patient would mean keeping yourself from building a mental snowball before your thinking get out of hand and gently reminding yourself to relax. It might also be a good time to breathe as well as an opportunity to remind yourself that, in the bigger scheme of things, being late is "small stuff".
    Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice. An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practice periods—periods of time that I set up in my mind to practice the art of patience. Life itself becomes a classroom, and the curriculum is patience. You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience over time. What you’ll discover is truly amazing. Your intention to be patient, especially if you know it’s only for a short while, immediately strengthens your capacity for patience. Patience is one of those special qualities where success feeds on itself. Once you reach little milestone (里程碑)—five minutes of successful patience—you’ll begin to see that you do indeed have the capacity to be patient, even for longer periods of time. Over time, you may even become a patient person.
    Being patient will help you to keep your perspective. You’ll see even a difficult situation, say your present challenge, isn’t "life or death" but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with Without patience, the same scenario can become a major emergency complete with yelling, frustration, hurt feelings, and high blood pressure.
The main idea of the first paragraph is that _____.
选项 A、it takes a long time to cultivate patience
B、patience is very important for us
C、patience is essential for inner peace
D、being late is "small stuff"
答案B
解析 主旨大意题。本段的第1句为主题句，理解go a long way toward是解题的关键，该短语意为“对……大有帮助”，并不是“花长时间”的意思，因此，选项B为正确选项，而选项A对go a long way toward理解错误。选项C和D都只是该段中心思想的片断，概括不够全面。
