 阅读理解Welcome to the anti-climax, the often-experienced but seldom-discussed downside of achieving life's milestones. In psychology, the belief that achieving our goal will bring us a lasting feeling of happiness is called "arrival fallacy", which plays a big part in the feelings of emptiness that follow it. It's a feeling that's all too familiar for Katie Ford, a veterinary surgeon. To gain an extra qualification, she put in countless hours of study and made lots of sacrifices along the way, but now instead of celebration and pride, she feels emptiness and confusion, which have the potential to develop symptoms of depression and low mood. If you find yourself in a similar situation or you suspect working towards your milestones may be a letdown when you reach the finish line, there are steps to help get rid of anti-climax. First, instead of rushing for it to be done, slow down to enjoy the doing, and remember that lots of things in our lives are never truly done, but constantly evolve just like we do. Another vital step is acknowledging the small wins. We have lots of stepping stones to a big goal to pause on, so celebrate how far you've come from the first one, and look forward to the many stones in front. Third, anticipating anti-climaxes in the lead up to big milestones can also lessen their impact. Anti-climaxes are just as common as post-holiday blues, so we'd better normalize them. Rather than downplaying your milestones or moving straight to the next, mindfully cherish the moment, recognize your progress and reward yourself positively. That way, you won't fall into the fallacy of having "made it". Instead, you'll see that you are happily "making it" along the journey that is an entire lifetime. （1） What does the underlined word "it" in the first paragraph refer to? A . The belief. B .
