It can be a reason that people discontinue medication.

本题难度较低

• 语言上
• it can be 是可能的，can 在这里表示可能性
  e.g. It can be difficult to understand everything the first time.第一次全部理解可能会有难度。
• discontinue v. 停止；中断，dis是否定前缀，可以理解为不再继续就是终止
  e.g. The company decided to discontinue the product after two years.公司决定在两年后停止该产品的生产。
• medication n. 药物治疗
  e.g. The patient was put on medication for high blood pressure.患者开始接受高血压药物治疗。
  译文
  这可能是人们停止用药的一个原因。

I liked it at the beginning, but I felt like it went downhill in later seasons.

本题难度适中

• 语言上
• go downhill 走下坡路，变差，反义词：go uphill 往上走；uphill &downhill 既是形容词也是副词。
  e.g. After the third season, the quality of the show really went downhill. 第三季之后，这个节目的质量真的走下坡路了
• season 季节；季（电视剧）
  发音上
  I liked it at the beginning, but I felt like it went downhill in later seasons.
  前面liked it at 连读的比较快，都是辅音+元音的连读。
  译文
  一开始我还挺喜欢的，但觉得后面几季变差了。

  暂停在一个你知道下一步该如何进行的地方，你就会建立一个预期，这会让你在第二天可以立即开始行动。
