.”可知，当你有消极想法时，强迫自己说积极的话语。这是一种思维的改变，故A项与此处吻合。]13．G　[小标题指出“Makealistofthingswearegratefulfor.(列举出我们感激的事情)”，G项提到写下我们感激的事情，然后我们就会明白自己没理由抱怨了。承接上文，故选G项。]14．E　[根据空格前的“Therearemanythingswecan’tchange.(有很多事情我们不能改变)”可知，既然不能改变，就接受它。与E项(唯一也是最好的事情是去接受它们)吻合。]15．D　[根据空格后的“Maybeitistimetomaketheharddecisiontomoveontoanotherjoborcareer.(也许是时候作出艰难的决定换工作或职业了)”可知，在你总是抱怨工作时，要考虑换份工作。故选D。]n
