2023届高考英语三轮复习·冲刺押题 外刊阅读理解训练42 ——改编自Refilling the Bucket 【文章】 The author of the article is a retired nurse who finds joy in caring for others. However, she often experiences compassion fatigue caused by constantly depleting her reservoir of compassion and care. She used to believe that making herself a priority was selfish until the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to take a much-needed break from her busy schedule. During this time, she immersed herself in Bible study, books, movies, and other hobbies that feed her mind, body, and spirit. However, things changed when her husband fell off a ladder and suffered a fractured femur, leading her down an uncharted path of being his caregiver. The pandemic made adaptation to physical restrictions easier as they both quarantined at home during his recovery. Through this experience, she realized that self-care is not selfishness but a gift she can give to those around her because she cannot share water from an empty container. The author's new perspective on self-care is a valuable message to anyone in a caregiving role, especially during the pandemic. It is important to remember that taking care of oneself allows us to give back the best version of ourselves to those we care for. 【重点词汇&词组】 current [kʌrənt] adj. 现在的，当前的 date [deɪt] n. 日期；v. 给…注明日期，追溯到 retired [rɪ'taɪəd] adj. 退休的，离职的 nurse [nɜrs] n. 护士 joy [dʒɔɪ] n. 快乐，愉悦 caring ['kɛrɪŋ] adj. 有同情心的，关心的；n. 照顾，看护 compassion [kəm'pæʃən] n. 同情，怜悯 fatigue [fə'tiːg] n. 疲劳，劳累；v. 使疲劳 constantly ['kɑnstəntli] adv. 不断地，一直地 deplete [dɪ'pliːt] v. 耗尽，枯竭 reservoir ['rɛzərvwɑr] n. 水库，储备物 believe [bɪ'liːv] v. 相信，认为 priority [praɪ'ɔrəti] n. 优先，优先权；adj. 优先的 selfish ['sɛlfɪʃ] adj. 自私的，利己的 COVID-19 ['kovid-nain] n. 新冠肺炎 pandemic [pæn'dɛmɪk] adj. 大范围流行的；n. 流行病 forced [fɔrst] v. 强迫，迫使 much-needed ['mʌtʃ-ni:dɪd] adj. 急需的，十分需要的 break [breɪk] n./v. 休息，间断 busy ['bɪzi] adj. 忙碌的，繁忙的 schedule ['skɛdjuːl] n. 时间表，日程安排 immersed [ɪ'mɜrst] adj. 沉浸在…的；v. 沉浸，浸入 Bible ['baɪbl] n. 圣经 study ['stʌdi] n. 学习，研究；v. 学习，研究 books [bʊks] n. 书籍 movies ['muviːz] n. 电影 hobbies ['hɑbi] n. 爱好，嗜好 feed [fid] v. 喂养，供给 mind [maɪnd] n. 心智，思维；v. 留意，注意到 body ['bɑdi] n. 身体，躯体 spirit ['spɛrɪt] n. 精神，心灵 husband ['hʌzbənd] n. 丈夫 fell [fɛl] v. 跌落，摔倒 fractured ['fræktʃərd] adj. 断裂的，破碎的；v. 使断裂，使破碎 femur ['fi:mər] n. 股骨 leading ['lidɪŋ] adj. 主要的，首要的；v. 带领 uncharted ['ʌn'tʃɑrtɪd] adj. 未知的，未经探索的 caregiver ['kɛrɪˌɡɪvər] n. 看护人，照顾者 adaptation [`ædæp'teiʃn] n. 适应，改编 physical ['fɪzɪkl] adj. 身体的，物理的 restrictions [rɪ'strɪkʃənz] n. 限制，约束 easier [i:zɪər] adj. 更容易的，更舒适的；adv. 更容易地 quarantined ['kwɔrəntind] adj. 被隔离的；v. 隔离，使隔离 realized ['riəlaizd] v. 意识到，认识到 perspective [pər'spɛktɪv] n. 观点，看法；透视图 valuable ['væljʊəbl] adj. 有价值的，贵重的 message ['mɛsɪdʒ] n. 信息，消息；口信 anyone ['ɛniwʌn] pron. 任何人，所有人中的任何一个 role [roʊl] n. 角色，作用 important [`ɪm'pɔrtnt] adj. 重要的，关键的 remember [rɪ'mɛmbər] v. 记得，想起 taking ['teɪkɪŋ] v. 拿取，采取 oneself [wʌn'sɛlf] pron. 自己，本身 allows [ə'laʊz] v. 允许，让…成为可能 give [ɡɪv] v. 给予，赠送 back [bæk] adv. 回来，向后地 version ['vɜrʒən] n. 版本，版本号 【阅读理解习题】 1.
