Why Do We Get Angry?
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it,but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior,and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发)events,personality traits(特征),and our assessment of situations. __1. F__
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However,here are some examples:being cut off in traffic,a deadline approaching,experiencing physical pain,and much more. __2. G__ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.
Each person,no matter who they are,has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. __3. E__ Also,sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition,but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.
__4. A__ Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger,or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
__5. D__ However,anger can easily turn violent,and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind,we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
A.Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B.But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C.Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait,and is usually advised to reduce it.
D.Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
E.Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state,where anger is in the background of your mind.
F.Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.
G.Not everyone acts the same in response to events,and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.
文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了人生气的几种原因。人们通过了解生气的原因,可以控制好自己的情绪而不去生气,由此减少生气对自己造成的危害。
❶ 解析:解本题可用词汇锁定法。 由空前的the main reasons锁定选项F中的these reasons。结合上下文内容可知,作者提到了一些引发生气的原因,理解这些原因有助于我们控制生气。
❷ 解析:解本题可用词汇锁定法以及关联逻辑法。由空后的someone is triggered. . . others are not. . . 可知,相同的事情并不会引发每个人都生气,这与选项G中的not everyone acts the same in response to events以及triggers相吻合。
❸ 解析:解本题可用词汇锁定法。由空前的personality traits以及空后的pre-anger锁定选项E中的personality traits implies the pre-anger state。由此可知选E项。
❹ 解析:解本题可用词汇锁定法。由空后的situations,create锁定选项A中的on situations can create anger within us,即对于某些情况的态度和看法是生气的原因。
❺ 解析:解本题可用关联逻辑法。由空后表转折的副词however以及 anger can easily turn violent可知,因为生气容易转变为暴力,所以作者不赞同生气,即使有理由生气。选项D中提到“人们认为有理由去生气”,显然它可以放在空格中构成前后文意思的转折。故选D。

Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience. Of course,you want to make sure that you become an accepted and valuable part of your new neighborhood. The easiest way to accomplish this is to make sure you conduct yourself as a good neighbor should. __1. G__
Perhaps one of the most important things you can do as a good neighbor is to keep your property(房产) neat,clean,and in good repair. __2. F__ By choosing to keep the outside of the home in great shape,you will help to improve the look and feel of the area.
Second,take the overall appearance of the neighborhood seriously. When going for a walk,take along a small garbage bag. __3. E__ This small act will let your neighbors know that you care about the area.

__5. C__ By following the basic rules of respecting others,taking care of what belongs to you,and taking pride in the appearance of the neighborhood in general,you will quickly become

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了几个帮你迅速赢得新邻居欣赏的小技巧。本文为“总—分”结构,从四个方面说明了如何做个好邻居。

❷ 解析:解本题可用词汇锁定法。该空格前面的neat,clean,in good repair 以及空格后面的in great shape都与 F项的fresh and inviting相吻合。
❸ 解析:解本题可用关联逻辑法。空格前提到,散步时随身带个小垃圾袋;空格后提到,这个小小的举动会让你的邻居知道你关心这个区域。因此此处要填E项“如果你碰到从路过的车里扔出的废纸,把它捡起来”。
❹ 解析:解本题可用词汇锁定法。由本段中的you are there to help in any way可知,选B项“一个好邻居也是一个在小的方面乐于助人的人”。
❺ 解析:解本题可用关联逻辑法。空后的respecting others,taking care of,taking pride in都是替别人着想的表现,故C项符合语境。

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping,I would have laughed heartily. Campers,in my eyes,were people who enjoyed insect bites,ill-cooked meals,and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. __1. D__
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. __2. C__ We slept in a tent,cooked over an open fire,and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work,recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was,nevertheless,talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. __3. A__ Instead,we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.

__5. E__ It must be true that sooner or later,everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

Every animal sleeps,but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep,they die within a month. __1. C__
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. __2. E__ We know that,while awake,fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells,but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight,making room for fresh memories to form the next day.
__3. F__
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. __4. G__ The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep,showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi’s theory is right,it would explain why,when we miss a night’s,we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information-our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. __5. B__ “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.
A.We should also try to sleep well the night before.
B.It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.
C.Similarly,when people go for a few days without sleeping,they get sick.
D.The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.
E.That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.
F.“Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi,who developed the idea.
G.Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections,or synapses,in the brains of 12 mice.
文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文中主要探讨了充足的睡眠帮助人们巩固新记忆,为第二天的全新记忆腾出空间。
❶ 解析:考查前后句的连贯。所有的动物都睡觉,但其原因仍然是谜。当实验室的老鼠不被允许睡觉时,它们一个月内就死了。同样,人类如果连续几天不睡觉,就会生病。所以C项正确。
❷ 解析:考查前后句的连贯。第二段首句指出一个观点,即睡眠帮助人们巩固新的记忆。而E项则支持该观点,其中That指代的就是睡眠帮助巩固新的记忆这一观点。所以E项正确。
❸ 解析:考查前后句的连贯。空前讲,睡眠会为第二天的新记忆腾出空间,且由第四段第一句中的人称代词he可知,F项正确。
❹ 解析:考查前后句的连贯。空前讲,有最直接的证据证明Tononi的观点是对的,而空后的内容介绍了实验结果,故可推知空处应是介绍了Tononi做的相关实验,故G项正确。
❺ 解析:考查前后句的连贯。根据空前的关键词protected,stayed以及空后的keep,matters可知,B项正确。

How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the sport. __1. D__ But with these tips,your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story,think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example,if your topic is about environmental problems in America,you might ask,“Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” __2. G__
Hit the streets with confidence. __3. B__ Say,“Excuse me,I work for XYZ News,and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic. ” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.
● Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don’t get discouraged.
● __4. A__ Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need,move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview,you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer,you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. __5. F__
● If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air,don’t leave work without them.

F.That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.
G.With a question like this,you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.

❸ 解析:解本题可用关联逻辑法。空格后的excuse me以及I was wondering if you could. . . 都体现了采访者的礼貌。这与选项B“当你接近人们时,要有礼貌”前后照应。本设空类型为过渡句类。
❹ 解析:解本题可用设题位置法。显然,该空要填本段的段落小标题。根据空格后的“你在街上的每次采访都不应超过十分钟”可知进行街头采访时要控制好时间。选项A正合语境。本设空类型为段落主题句类。
❺ 解析:解本题可用词汇锁定法。选项F“这一数量的采访应该能给你你所需要的全部答案”中的that number of interviews与空格前的a safe number of interviews to conduct(采访的保险数量)前后照应。本设空类型为段落总结类。

How to Remember What You Read
Reading is important. But the next step is making sure that you remember what you’ve read! __1. D__ You may have just read the text,but the ideas,concepts and images (形象)may fly right out of your head. Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.
● __2. A__
If the plot,characters,or word usage is confusing for you,you likely won’t be able to remember what you read. It’s a bit like reading a foreign language. If you don’t understand what you’re reading,how would you remember it? But there are a few things you can do. . . Use a dictionary; look up the difficult words.
●Are you connected?
Does a character remind you of a friend? Does the setting make you want to visit the place? Does the book inspire you,and make you want to read more? With some books,you may feel a connection right away. __3. F__ How willing are you to make the connections happen?
●Read it; hear it; be it!
Read the lines. Then,speak them out loud. And,put some character into the words. When he was writing his novels,Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters. He’d make faces in the mirror,and change his voice for each character. __4. G__
●How often do you read?
If you read frequently,you’ll likely have an easier time with remembering what you’re reading (and what you’ve read). __5. B__ As you make reading a regular part of your life,you’ll make more connections,stay more focused and understand the text better. You’ll learn to enjoy
literature—as you remember what you read!
A.Are you confused?
B.Practice makes perfect.
C.What’s your motivation?
D.Memory is sometimes a tricky thing.
E.Marking helps you remember what you read.
F.But other books require a bit more work on your part.
G.You can do the same thing when you are reading the text!
文章大意:本文主要介绍了记住阅读过的内容的技巧。
❶ 解析:根据空前的“the next step is making sure that you remember what you’ve read”和空后的“but the ideas,concepts and images(形象) may fly right out of your head”可知,阅读是重要的,但是你要确保记住所阅读的内容。你可能刚读过了文本,但并没有记住其中的思想、概念和形象。由此可知D项“记忆有时候是一件很困难的事情”符合上下文的衔接,所以选D项。
❷ 解析:本空是段落主题句。由“If the plot,characters,or word usage is confusing for you,you likely won’t be able to remember what you read”可知,该段主题与处理一些令人困惑的信息有关,故A选项与此处匹配。
❸ 解析:根据空前的“With some books,you may feel a connection right away”可知,读有些书时,你可以很快建立联系;空后一句提到“你有多大意愿让这些联系发生”,故F项“但是(阅读)其他书对你的要求更多一些”与前后句衔接紧密。故选F项。
❹ 解析:本空是段落结尾句。由本段内容可知,大声读出来所阅读的材料并加以演绎也是一个技巧。本段又以狄更斯写作时演绎自己作品中的角色为例来说明我们也可以这样做,所以选G项。
❺ 解析:根据空前的“If you read frequently,you’ll likely have an easier time with remembering”和空后的“As you make reading a regular part of your life”可知,有规律的阅读可以让记忆变得更加轻松,即“熟能生巧”,所以选B项。

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact,the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resetting your body clock. __1. C__ Here is how to make one.
● __2. B__ In order to make a change,you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family,get in some exercise,or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reasons,tell your family or roommates
about the change you want to make.
●Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up,consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family,save some time the night before by setting out clothes,shoes,and bags. __3. G__ That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
●Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night,sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week,a recent study found. __4. F__
●Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week,take a look at your record. __5. E__ If not,take another look at other methods you could try.
A.Get a sleep specialist.
B.Find the right motivation.
C.A better plan for sleep can help.
D.And consider setting a second alarm.
E.If the steps you take are working,keep it up.
F.Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time,no matter the day.
G.Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.
文章大意:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了如何做计划建立好生物钟,保持早睡早起的好习惯。
❶ 解析:考查前后句的连贯。第一段最后一句说“以下是如何制作一个”,代词one指代“计划”一词,因此本空选C。
❷ 解析:考查小标题概括。空后谈到要改变,先要说清楚做出改变很重要的原因;后面谈到一旦明白了其中的原因,就可以告诉你的家人或室友你想做出改变;由此可以推断出这段总的在说找到正确的动机,因此本空选B。
❸ 解析:考查前后句的连贯。本段最后一句谈到如果买咖啡机自己弄咖啡,早上可以多睡一会儿,因此前一句应该要与咖啡有关,本空选G。
❹ 解析:考查前后句的连贯。本段谈到周末起床、睡觉的时间应该和平常一致,不然周末多睡反而会增加接下来工作日的睡意。F项中的no matter the day指的就是周末也应该和工作日的作息一致。因此本空选F。
❺ 解析:考查前后句的连贯。本段谈到对自己所做的计划要记录、评价和调整。本空后的If not说明前面是讨论计划有效就应该坚持,因此选E。

A daily multivitamin may give your well-being an extra benefit,but if you’ve ever swallowed one and felt sick right after,you know it’s hardly a pleasant experience. __1. B__
◆You’re taking vitamins on an empty stomach.
Vitamins that are more acid in nature,like vitamin C,may cause nausea(恶心)if they’re consumed on an empty stomach. Vitamins A,D,E and K,unlike some others,may be better absorbed when not taken with food.
◆ __2. A__
Vitamins are like medicines in that they can act on each other and other medicines you’re taking. __3. G__ Some research suggests that multivitamins could cause side effects when taken at the same time with high estrogen(雌激素)levels.
◆There’s a lot of iron in your pill.
Multivitamins that contain a lot of iron or iron supplements themselves can cause nausea. This is especially true if you’re taking them outside of a meal. Iron is interesting in that it’s best absorbed on an empty stomach,but it’s hardest to take on an empty stomach because of the nausea. __4. E__It might decrease the absorption a little bit but it’s better than nothing.
◆Allergic reaction side effects.
Since multivitamins contain so many vitamins and minerals,allergic reactions are certainly possible. Mild allergic reactions can include itchiness(痒) and a few hives(荨麻疹). __5. F__ Should you experience more advanced signs of an allergic reaction,such as trouble breathing,chest pain,widespread hives or a swollen facial region,visit the closest emergency room immediately.
The lable on your vitamins should provide directions for taking them. Check the information before taking them to see what else you should know.
A.You’re taking vitamins with other medicines.
B.Below are a few reasons why multivitamins may be making you ill.
C.It’s important to discuss with an expert the timing of these vitamins.
D.These stomach issues can be extremely disturbing.
E.It’s better to take it with food than trying taking it on an empty stomach.
F.If you experience these side effects,stop use and contact your doctor.
G.Please review the combinations to make sure there are no harmful interactions.
文章大意:本文主要讲述了服用多种维生素可能让人感到不适的几种原因。
❶ 解析:本句出现在第一段的段尾。从第二段开始一直到第五段都是在分析让人感到不适的原因,所以B项符合语境。B项的意思是“以下是多种维生素可能会使你感到不适的几个原因”。
❷ 解析:
本空是段落的主题句。本段落讲的是各种维生素之间以及维生素与其他药物之间会相互作用,所以A项作为本段小标题合适。A项的意思是“你是与其他药物一起服用了维生素”。
❸ 解析:本句出现在段落中间,起到承上启下的作用。上文讲的是,各种维生素之间以及维生素与其他药物之间会相互作用;下文讲的是,当雌激素水平高时服用多种维生素可能引起副作用,所以G项符合语境。G项的意思是“请检查一下混合物(多种维生素),确保它们之间没有有害的相互作用”。
❹ 解析:本句出现在段落中间,起到承上启下的作用。上文讲的是,多种维生素中的铁在空腹时服用吸收效果是最好的,但空腹服用会让人恶心;下文讲的是,这可能会吸收得少一点,但总比一点也不吸收要好,所以E项符合语境。E项的意思是“比起试图空腹服用来说,跟食物一起服用多种维生素更好一些”。
❺ 解析:本句出现在段落中间,起到承上启下的作用。上文讲的是,轻微的过敏反应症状;下文讲的是较重的过敏反应症状,所以F项“如果你感受到了这些副作用,就不要服用了,要联系你的医生”符合语境。

Whether they’re for a teenager or not,all great stories have certain elements: they have interesting characters we enjoy reading about; they show these characters in a world we can recognize and understand.
__1. B__ The main character faces a problem,usually quite a serious one. The thing that most draws us to reading the story is the way the character deals with the problem—whether the character gets the better of it,or it gets the better of the character.
Characters in a book for young adults are generally young adults themselves. __2. A__ On the one hand,they’re not children anymore. They’re growing up and want to stretch their wings. On the other hand,they’re not yet adults. They can’t do certain things,as they’re not yet able to do them or because the world tells them that they can’t.
To make things even more complicated,almost all young adults feel at some point that the whole growing-up process is happening too quickly. __3. E__
This year,TEENS has selected seven of the ten books; nominated(提名) for the US 2017 National Book Awards in the categories of Young People’s Literature.
Some stories are specifically written for teenagers or young adults,meaning that their authors are very sensitive to the “in-between” nature of teenage life. They’re about problems that appear for young people because of tensions between them and their parents and teachers,their siblings(兄弟姐妹),or wider society. Often,these problems are presented very seriously by writers. __4. D__
At the same time,fiction isn’t supposed to be just about the challenges people face in life,
but also about how people overcome those problems. __5. C__ They discover something about themselves that they never knew before,and which enables them to succeed. And the solution that they find opens the future up to them,setting them on the path to adulthood.
A.And they are in a challenging period of life.
B.But most importantly,great stories have a central drama.
C.To some degree,challenges bring out the best in characters.
D.But that’s what young adults want in fiction:to be taken seriously.
E.They want to hold back a little and remain a child a little longer.
F.These are stories that someone of any age could pick up and enjoy.
G.When closing a good book,we feel we’ve learned something about ourselves.
文章大意:本篇文章是文学艺术类说明文。作者主要分析了优秀的小说的特点,着重分析了写给年轻人看的小说。
❶ 解析:本空出现在段首,起承上启下的作用。第一段讲了好的故事都共有的两个因素,空后主要讲了小说中的主人公通常都要面临一个相当严重的问题,并且讲到最吸引人们读小说的是主人公处理问题的方式。这里主要谈的是小说的情节,所以答案是B。
❷ 解析:本空出现在段落中。根据后面的“On the one hand,they’re not children anymore. They’re growing up and want to stretch their wings. On the other hand,they’re not yet adults. They can’t do certain things,as they’re not yet able to do them or because the world tells them that they can’t”可以看出,这个时候的年轻人有着非常矛盾的心理感受,一方面想去做一些事情,另一方面又有一些事情不能做,所以答案是A“他们处于人生中一个很有挑战性的阶段”。
❸ 解析:本句出现在段尾。根据上文中的“To make things even more complicated,almost all young adults feel at some point that the whole growing-up process is happening too quickly”可知,几乎所有的年轻人都会在某个阶段感觉整个成长过程发生得太快了,所以,他们希望时光能倒回一点,让他们再当一段时间的小孩子,所以答案是E。
❹ 解析:本句出现在段尾。根据上文中的“Often,these problems are presented very seriously by writers”可知,作者通常会很认真地展现这些问题,而D项“但这正是年轻人在小说中想要(看到)的——被认真对待”能很好地承接上文,所以答案是D。
❺ 解析:本句出现在段落中。根据上文中的“At the same time,fiction isn’t supposed to be just about the challenges people face in life,but also about how people overcome those problems”可知,小说不只是要写人们生活中遇到的挑战,所以答案是C,“在某种程度上,挑战能够激发人物最优秀的品质”。

Last week the electricity in my flat went out. I had just got home from work and was happily making my tea,when all of a sudden I was surrounded by complete darkness. I tried to fix it but failed. I had to wait for an electrician to come in the morning. __1. D__
I sat down to eat my half-cooked dinner. And then I wasn’t really sure what to do. My typical evening is spent watching the TV and looking through social media. __2. A__ So for me it was an early night. And I couldn’t help but think,do we rely too much on electricity? That night,losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity. As basic as running water. __3. F__ I use electricity all the time,even when it’s not really necessary.
__4. C__ It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that,but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy we will soon run out.
So,shouldn’t we start preparing for it now? Cutting back on our use of electricity would make losing it slower,and also save energy resources so that they could last for longer. __5. G__ And if everyone does the same,we can make a big difference.
A.Tonight this wasn’t possible.
B.Obviously,we can’t survive without it.
C.Our overuse of electricity is a big problem.
D.This left me a whole night without any electricity.
E.Electricity brings us convenience and trouble.
F.But really,electricity is a luxury that we’ve grown to take for granted.
G.I know for sure that I could cut down on my use of electricity.
文章大意:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。下班回家正准备泡茶时,“我”突然遭遇了停电。这次停电经历让“我”反思:我们习惯于使用电,即使在不必要的时候;过度用电导致全球变暖、环境破坏;节约用电,从我做起!
❶ 解析:根据第一段第二句“I had just got home from work and was happily making my tea,when all of a sudden I was surrounded by complete darkness”可知,晚上“我”正准备泡茶时,突然遭遇停电,周围一片漆黑;再结合空处前一句“I had to wait for an electrician to come in the morning”可知,“我”整个晚上都没有电用,故D项正确。
❷ 解析:根据空处前一句“My typical evening is spent watching the TV and looking through social media”可知,“我”一般习惯在晚上看电视以及浏览社交媒体;结合上文停电的叙述可知,今晚(做这些)是不可能了,故A项正确。
❸ 解析:根据空前两句可知,停电让人感觉像是失去了自来水一样的必需品;根据空处后一句“I use electricity all the time,even when it’s not really necessary”可知,即使在没有必要的时候,“我”也在使用电。据此可知,F项“但事实上,电是一种奢侈品,我们将它视为理所当然的东西”,符合语境。此处luxury和necessity形成对比关系。
❹ 解析:结合空后两句“It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it”可知,过度用电导致全球变暖,破坏了我们的环境;据此可以判断,空处介绍过度用电这个问题,故C项与此处匹配。
❺ 解析:根据空处前一句“Cutting back on our use of electricity would make losing it slower,and also save energy resources so that they could last for longer”可知,节约用电将会减缓资源损失速度;结合空处后一句“And if everyone does the same,we can make a big difference”可知,如果每个人都做同样的事情,那么我们将起到很大的作用;G项承上启下,故G项与此处匹配。

What to Do When Someone Doesn’t Like You
When someone tells me “I don’t care if people like me”,they are showing me the emotional wall they use to block the hurt of rejection.
As humans are social animals,all of us care if people like us. Based on the need for social connection,your reactions to rejection and negative judgment can range from minor hurt to outbreaks of depression. __1. F__
The first step to handle a negative situation is to recognize your reaction. Ask yourself,“What am I feeling?” __2. B__Any betrayal (背叛) or embarrassment in your heart? Identify what feeling has shown up in your body,so you can choose what to do next.
__3. C__ When you sense yourself shutting down or feeling defensive,ask yourself what the person actually meant to do to you. Did they truly mean to offend you,or make fun of you? Your brain works very hard to keep you safe,so it will judge a situation as threatening if there is any possibility of social harm.
When our brains sense a possible threat,we react as if we were personally attacked. Take a breath to relieve the stress. __4. G__
Finally,if you believe the person doesn’t like you,ask yourself if this matters. __5. E__ If not,what can you do to release your need to be liked by this person? And,what can you do to stay neutral and not return the dislike? The more you can come to accept others as who they are,the more you can move forward with your goals regardless of if someone likes you or not.
A.If you can,look the person in his eyes.
B.Do you feel any fear or anger in your head?
C.Ask yourself what is true about the situation.
D.Often people do not realize the impact of their words.
E.Will the person’s judgment of you impact your work or life?
F.The ability to let a show of dislike roll off your back is a learned skill.
G.This will ground you in the present and take you out of your trembling mind.
文章大意:本文主要介绍了摆脱不受别人喜欢的情况的方法和策略。
❶ 解析:由空处承接下文“The first step to handle a negative situation is to recognize your reaction”可推知,本空是一个承上启下的过渡句,即应对别人的拒绝和负面评价是一种可以学习的技能,下文具体阐述如何达成这种技能,所以选F项。
❷ 解析:由空处承接上文“Ask yourself,’What am I feeling?’”可推知,此处表示个人的感情倾向,与下文“Any betrayal(背叛)or embarrassment in your heart”呼应,所以选B项。
❸ 解析:由空处承接下文“When you sense yourself shutting down or feeling defensive,ask yourself what the person actually meant to do to you”可知,本段讲的是要搞清楚真实的状况,然后再具体地应对,故选C项。
❹ 解析:由空处承接上文“Take a breath to relieve the stress”可推知,空处应进一步讲这样做的好处,所以选G项。
❺ 解析:由空处承接上文“Finally,if you believe the person doesn’t like you,ask yourself if this matters”可推知,搞清楚他人的不喜欢对自己是否有影响对接下来的应对很重要,这种影响可能是工作或生活上的,所以选E项。

Schedule your work.
Don’t overstretch yourself with your work. __3. C__ To avoid burnout,take a walk to renew your brain,allowing it to concentrate better. Though breaks are essential for a healthy workday,you must learn to take them with a pinch of salt. Frequent breaks can be addictive and can affect your work.
__4. A__
Nowadays,being online on various social media platforms is a trend. Several notifications (通知) pop up every now and then,commanding your attention.

If you really want to stay updated

Cut outside noise.
Until you do away with noise,you won’t be able to focus. Limiting auditory distractions is crucial in increasing your attention span. You can use noise-canceling headphones for that. __5. F__ In case that doesn’t solve the problem,choose remote work for a day or two to regain your lost focus.
Keep on practicing these positive habits and you’ll surely see a noticeable improvement in your productivity level at work.

C.Rather,split your work into parts.
