问题 The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G. Some of the paragraphs have been placed for you. (10 points)

A. People can learn to improve their skills at recognizing burnout and at doing something about it, Lauderdale suggests. A frequently used low-risk strategy is one he calls "the quick break." Examples include rearranging the furniture, getting a new haircut or new clothes, taking a vacation, or going to a concert or football game. Other major change responses include compromising and trying to accept the current level of success or income, moving to a new environment or situation, or changing oneself by lowering expectations of work or redefining its meaning.
B. Schoolteachers and full-time housewives with children at home are among the highest-risk groups likely to suffer from burnout, says Michael Lauderdale, director of the University of Texas School of Social Work’s research center, who began studying burnout 10 years ago. He first noticed symptoms of the condition among human service agency workers, but says the condition affects everyone to a degree. Burnout, he believes, comes when "we have expectations of our jobs, careers, marriages, or lives, and the reality we are experiencing is less than our expectations".
C. Moderate burnout is characterized by more illness and absenteeism, and a "cocoon phenomenon" begins. In that state, workers "seem to have gray faces at 3 p.m. in the office, but after five, it’s like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon. Their voices lilt and they are spontaneous when they walk out of the office. The "cocoon phenomenon" is a result of people compartmentalizing their lives, Lauderdale feels. Accompanying that is "lots of clock-watching and counting the days until Friday."
D. We’re in a time of high ambiguity about what life means in terms of social roles and in terms of what we’re to do with our lives. I don’t think that people have greater expectations now than in the past—I think it’s just harder to keep your experiences in place because the time keep changing on you. An example of the rapidly changing times would be a young college student who is advised to get a degree in business. "If you’re a sophomore now, by the time you get the degree, people with business degrees could be a glut on the market. The idea that the private sector could solve most of the world’s problems could vanish by then."
E. In the third stage of burnout, which he terms despair, "the person pulls into a shell and minimizes work and social contacts as much as possible. There is depression and crying, an increase in drinking, risk-taking and drugs. I related a lot of my work with abusing parents as being the third stage of burnout. They are highly burned out as parents. "
F. Lauderdale divides the symptoms of burnout into three stages. First is confusion. The worker may voice general complaints, such as "I don’t feel very good" or "I just don’t have any pep." Sometimes, chronic backaches, headaches, or colds appear. A worker may seem to lose his sense of humor. He may seem inattentive in a discussion because of the list of things to do running through his mind.
G. Although the bulk of literature about burnout is work-related, the syndrome can occur in any of the multiple roles most people perform—spouse, friend, parent, employee, supervisor. Also, burnout in a job may not begin at work, but may be a spillover from the worker’s dissatisfaction with other roles, such as being the parent of a teenager.

Order: The first paragraph is B and the last one is A.

选项
答案F
解析 浏览一下其余各项，内容都提到burnout这一词，而且涉及burnout的不同阶段，可见第三段内容也与burnout有关。开篇前两段分析了burnout产生的原因，因此可以推测本段内容应该与burnout的开始阶段相关，F中的Lauderdale divides the symptoms of burnout into three stages是一个概括句。后面的"第一阶段是困惑期"明确显示了此项是对burnout不同阶段进行介绍的开始段，故放在原因段之后出现。
