I go to the movies alone. I wander museums alone. I eat meals alone (and yes, that means I resist all temptation to scroll through Instagram while waiting for my meal). I sit in coffee shops and journal alone. I take the train and go to new towns and walk around alone.‎ 我跟自己去约会：我独自看电影，独自在博物馆闲逛，独自吃饭（是的，这是说在等待饭菜上来时，我抵制住所有刷Instagram的诱惑）。我坐在咖啡馆里，独自写着日志。我一个人乘火车，前往新的城镇，然后独自在那里四处走走玩玩。‎ I realize this may sound super dorky. You’re probably thinking that I must be pretty weird and very lonely. Interestingly enough, I was way more lonely before I started spending time alone. The feeling like I needed to be around people all the time to take a deep breath — that was loneliness. The feeling of complete anxiety and fear when a boyfriend broke up with me — that was loneliness. But this? This is peace. This is fun. This is what self-esteem is built of. Here’s how I learned to spend time alone.‎ 我意识到也许这听起来超级蠢。你很可能会想，我肯定十分怪异、非常寂寞。有趣的是，我在开始独自生活前是更加孤单的。那种就像我需要一直跟别人待在一起才能做深呼吸的感觉，是孤单。男朋友跟我分手，那种极为焦虑恐慌的感受，是寂寞。但现在这种场景呢？这是平静，是趣味，是构建自信心的基础。以下是我学会独处的方法。‎ ‎1. I just did it. And let go of trying to look ＂cool＂.‎ 我只是一个人独处，并不去想怎么尽量看起来酷。‎ ‎2. Make a list of your favorite things. And don’t wait for anyone.‎ 列出你最爱的事物，不要等任何人跟你一起去践行。‎ ‎3. Schedule It. And don’t cancel on yourself.‎ 计划时间，不要取消与自己的约会。‎ For the past year, I’ve been single by choice. Not by circumstance. Not because no one will ask me out or I can’t find anyone eligible. It’s hard for some people to believe that I am choosing not to date, and I often get weird looks and confused grunts from my old aunt and college friends alike. Why would someone voluntarily choose to stay single? To spend time alone? Aren’t I missing out on life by not going on Tinder dates? What if The One is out there but I don’t catch him because I’m too busy staying single?‎ 过去一年中，我选择保持单身。这不是因为环境因素，不是因为没人约我出去或是我不能找到合适人选。有些人很难相信我选择不去约会。大姨和大学同学们老是对我投以怪异的眼神和不解地咕哝。为什么会有人愿意保持单身？愿意独自一人消磨时光？没有继续在Tinder（网络交友平台）上相亲的我，难道不是错过了生活（的乐趣）吗？要是我命中注定的另一半就在Tinder上，但我因为忙着保持单身而错过了他，那怎么办？‎ I’m not the slightest bit embarrassed to say out loud that I’ve been dating myself and ‎ it’s been the most nurturing, sustainable, and non-anxiety inducing relationship I’ve ever had. There’s no waiting to be texted back (or obsessing about if my text is too flirty, too needy, too wordy), and there’s no feeling like another person just doesn’t understand me.‎ 大声说出我正和自己相约，一点也不让我尴尬，而且它是我所有的关系中最滋养人、最持久也最不会引发焦虑的。我不需要等待他人的回复（或是费神考虑我的短信是否太过轻浮、有求于人或是冗长啰嗦），另外我也不会再有那种就是有人无法明白我的感觉了。‎ That doesn’t mean I don’t plan on dating other people in future — I definitely do. But I know now that the relationship I’ve built with myself is a model for the relationship I want to be in. I’m kind and patient and gentle and loving and forgiving of myself. I laugh at my mistakes and I let go of my errors. I am strong and courageous. That’s the kind of person I want to be with and the type of relationship I hope to be in.‎ 这不意味着我将来不打算谈恋爱（我当然会谈啦）。可我如今明白，与自己建立的这种关系是我想要与另一半相处的模式。我友善、耐心、温柔、友爱又宽容。我对自己犯的错误一笑了之。我强大而勇敢。这便是我想要的对象，也是我希望同他建立起的恋爱关系。‎ I know now that I’m not going into the relationship as a half, I’m going in as a whole. So whether it works out or doesn’t work out, deep down, I haven’t lost anything. I’m still me. I’m still complete. I still have the friendship I’ve built with theme that I’ve grown to know and love over the past 23 years. That’s the greatest relief I’ve ever known.‎ 我现在知道了，我不会在恋爱关系中有所保留，而将会是全身心投入。因此无论这段关系是否有好的结果，在内心深处我都没有任何损失。我仍然是我自己，我仍然完好无损，我同自己建立起的友谊依旧存在，那是我在过去23年中渐渐了解并爱上的。这便是我所知的最大欣慰。‎ Dealing with Difficult People 如何与难相处的人打交道 Dr. Manny Alvarez: Who doesn’t have a difficult colleague, friend, or family member? The bad news, often times, you’re forced to interact with these people on a daily basis and they could have a personality disorder. But the good news is there are simple ways you can learn to deal with their ‎ behaviors.‎ Dr. Andrew Twardon: A person with a paranoid personality is someone who is very much preoccupied with loyalty of other people, uh, it is a person who constantly scans the environment and other people, looking for possible indications or signs of some sort of deception.‎ Dr. Alvarez: The solution Dr. Twardon suggests, stick to conversation topics that are safe, and not too personal. Avoid any signs of criticisms or attack, and refrain from using language that is patronizing or condescending.‎ Dr. Twardon: A narcissistic person really believes that she is better than you. And because I am better than you, I am entitled to expect that you do the things for me. I am entitled to be focused exclusively on my own needs and kind of disregard yours.‎ Dr. Alvarez: So how do you deal with those ego-maniacs? Don’t be defensive with this person; it could trigger a fight, and try to make yourself an important part of his or her world in order to keep up the relationship.‎ Dr. Twardon: That is essentially a person who is dealing with a lot of internal...call it insecurity, or internal anxiety, and internal conflicts. And the way of resolving internal conflicts is by organizing the external environment.‎ Dr. Alvarez: Dr. Twardon is talking about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which can make others jumpy. Try acknowledging their hard work with compliments, compromise with them when possible, and also avoid conflict. And Dr. Twardon reminds us we all have a little bit of these personalities in ourselves, so treat others as you would like to be treated.‎ 曼尼·阿尔瓦雷斯医生：谁没有难相处的同事、朋友或家人呢？坏消息是，人们通常不得不每天和这些人打交道，而他们可能有人格障碍。但好消息是你可以学习一些应对他们行为的简单方法。 ‎ 安德鲁·托登医生：性格偏执的人非常注重其他人的忠诚，嗯，这类人会不断地审视环境和其他人以找到某种欺骗的可能迹象或征兆。 ‎ 阿尔瓦雷斯医生：托登医生建议的解决方法是：紧紧围绕＂安全＂的话题，不要过于涉及私事。避免任何批评或抨击的痕迹，不要使用傲慢或有优越感的措辞。‎ 托登医生：自恋的人确信她比你优秀。因为我比你优秀，所以我有权让你为我做事，我有权只注重自己的需要，而有时忽略你的需要。‎ 阿尔瓦雷斯医生：怎样跟那些自恋狂打交道呢？不用对这种人持防御姿态，这会引发争吵，试着让自己成为他或她的世界里重要的一员来维持你们的关系。‎ 托登医生：本质上来说有一种人在不断解决很多内在的……叫作不安全感或内在焦虑、内在冲突。他们需要通过使外部环境条理化来解决内在冲突。 ‎ 阿尔瓦雷斯医生：托登医生说的是会让其他人胆战心惊的强迫症。试着用赞美的话来肯定他们的辛勤工作，可能的话对他们妥协，同样要避免冲突。托登医生提醒我们：我们自己的性格中都会有一点这些个性，所以要像你希望自己被对待的方式那样来对待别人。‎ 与身边人更好相处的10个重要原则 ‎1. Model behavior.‎ The most important thing you can do to convert others to your ideas is to be the best model possible. Walk the walk, and do it visibly, so others can see what you’re doing. This goes for your spouse, for your kids, for family and friends, for co-workers. Just showing how to do it can be a powerful tool indeed. Declutter your life, live more simply, and you’ll go a long way to converting others.‎ ‎1. 榜样的力量。‎ 想让别人相信你的观点最重要的一点就是尽可能地做一个好榜样。走自己的路，正大光明，所以别人才能够看到你做的。这样做是为了你的配偶，孩子，家庭，朋友以及同事。事实上，如何做到这一点可能要好好思量。好好生活，过更简单的生活。去改变别人，你还有很长一段路要走。‎ ‎2. Share how important it is to you, and the benefits. ‎ This is really the second part of being a role model: as you start to live the simple life, show others how great it is to you, how important a part of your life this is. Talk with them about it, and tell them why you’re doing this. When people understand your motivation, they can start to get on board, or at least stop feeling so threatened. And when they see how great it is for you, how happy it makes you and all the great things it brings into your life, they’ll move closer and closer to your way.‎ ‎2. 于你而言，分享是非常重要且有利的。‎ 这是成为一个真正的榜样的第二步：对你而言，当你开始过上简单的日子，告诉其他人这样的日子是多么的精彩，这样的日子是多么的重要。与他们谈论这件事，并且告诉他们你这样做的目的是什么。一旦他们理解了你的目的，他们便会开始赞同你，至少不会再感到威胁。当他们看到你的日子如此精彩，你是如此快乐，它给你的生活带来了如此多的美好事物时。他们会越来越认同你的方法。‎ ‎3. Ask for help. ‎ One of the first things I did with Eva was ask for her support. Not just her consent, but her physical help. I confessed that I can’t do it on my own and I need her. Many people, if they truly care about you, want to help you. They want you to be happy, and if you tell them how they can help you succeed, they’ll do their best. If possible, make simplifying a team effort — not just something you’re doing, but something you’re all doing together. And make it fun!‎ ‎3. 寻求帮助。‎ 我与女儿Eva相处，首要的是寻求她的支持。不仅仅是她口头上的赞同，而是她实际的帮助。我承认我不能独立完成一些事，所以我需要她的帮助。很多人，如果他们真的关心你，他们就会想要帮助你。他们想要你快乐，如果你告知他们什么方法能够助你成功的话，他们将会全力以赴。如果可能，团队合作会让事情更加简单，不仅仅是你正在做的一些事情，而是所有的事大家一起做。让它变得有趣些。‎ ‎4. Educate.‎ The best way to educate others is, as I said above, by your good example. But beyond that, you may want to share books and websites and blogs you’re reading, not in a way that insists that they change, but just to show what you’re interested in and how they might learn more if they’re interested. Documentaries, podcasts, magazines, and other good sources of information are helpful as well. You can’t force people to read or watch, but you can make it available. In addition, talk with them about it — again, not in a pushy way but in a way that shows how excited you are and how you’d like to share what you’re learning about. If they seem put off, don’t drone on and on.‎ ‎4. 教育。‎ 正如我以上所说，教育别人最好的方法就是以身作则。但是除此之外，你可能想要与人分享你正在看的书、浏览的网站或是博客，不是以坚持要求他们改变这种方式，而是只需要表明你感兴趣的，如果他们感兴趣，他们可能会学得更多。纪录片、博客、杂志以及其他好的信息来源也对我们有益。你不能强迫别人去读或者看，但是你能让其变得有效。另外，与他们讨论这件事，同样，不要以一种强求的方式，而是表明你对此很激动，并且想要分享你正在了解的。如果他们看起来精神不集中，就不要一直讲下去了。‎ ‎5. Help them succeed.‎ If you do have some success converting some of the important people in your life to your way of thinking, at least to a minor degree, don’t criticize when they don’t do it as well as you’d like, or to the extent you’d like. Instead, be encouraging, be happy for them, and support them in any way you can. Again, make it a team effort.‎ ‎5. 帮助他人成功。‎ 如果在你生命中一些重要的人，确实成功地被你的思考方式，至少是较小程度上的改变，如果他们没有按照你想的那么做，也不要去批评。相反，你应该鼓励他们，为他们感到高兴，只要你能办到，无论怎样都要支持他们。同样地，一起努力。‎ ‎6. Realize you can’t control or change others.‎ One of the most common frustrations comes when people try to control other people, or force them to change. It’s a recipe for disaster. You can try to control others, but there will always be a struggle, and you’ll always fail to some degree. This applies to your significant other, even to kids. We try to control them but we can’t, not really. Instead, try to influence others, encourage them, support them, help them find happiness. And let go of the need to control. It’s difficult but really essential here. Once you can release that need to control, you’ll find much more happiness.‎ ‎6. 认清你不能控制或者改变他人。‎ 当人们试着去控制他人或者是强迫他人改变时，最常见的挫折之一也随着而来。这是灾难的秘诀。你可以试着去控制他人，但是通常会很纠结，在某种程度上，总是会失败。这些适用于你重要的人，甚至是孩子。我们试着去控制他们，但是事实上，我们控制不了他们。相反，试着去影响他们，鼓励他们，支持他们，帮助他们找到幸福。让控制欲随风而去吧。虽然很难，但是十分必要。一旦你放弃了控制欲，你将会发现更多的幸福。‎ ‎7. Set boundaries. ‎ Once you stop trying to control others, you have to find ways to live together with different goals and different ways of life. If you want to simplify and the others you live or work with don’t, how can you peacefully coexist in the same space? Some possibilities (but nowhere near an exhaustive list): decide who owns what and just simplify your own things; split up the house or office into your area and theirs; find a happy compromise between simplicity and major clutter.‎ ‎7. 设置边界。‎ 一旦你不再试图去控制别人，你不得不与有着不同目标、不同的生活方式的人共存。如果你想要简化，然而与你生活或是同时工作的人却不那样想，你怎样在相同的地方与这些人和平共处呢？有如下可能性(但是，是其他地方没有的完整清单)：决定由谁拥有，简化你自己的事情；在家里和办公室里划分不同阵营的区域；在简单与复杂之间找一个令人满意的折衷。‎ ‎8. Have patience. ‎ Don’t expect others to change overnight just because you have. The important people in your life might not get quite as excited about this change, because it’s not coming from them. They might not learn it as quickly as you have, or go quite as far. Or they might not want to change or support your change at all, at first … but later, they might come around. Again, don’t push or be obnoxious about it, but instead be patient, encouraging, with an attitude of sharing what you’re learning and excited about.‎ ‎8. 有耐心。‎ 不要期望别人一夜之间就改变，你生命中重要的人未必会为这种改变所激动，因为那不是出自于他们。他们可能不像你变化得那么快、那么很，或者他们一开始可能根本不想改变或支持你改变……但是后来，他们也许就好了。同样地不要强迫也不要焦急，而是耐心地鼓励自己与别人分享你正在学习和感激的。‎ ‎9. Change what you can. ‎ Sometimes you can’t change everything you’d like, and you have to learn to accept that. Find areas you can control, find places that others will allow you to change, and focus on those. The other areas might come later (or they might not). This is what comes from having others in your life — you give up complete control, but you also get the wonder of sharing your life with other human beings, something I’d never give up.‎ ‎9. 改变你能的改变的。‎ 有时候，你无法改变一切，所以你必须学着接受。找到你能控制的领域，找到别人允许你改变的地方，聚焦在这些上。其他的领域也许会晚些时候出现(也许不会出现)。这就是你生活中来自于其他的部分：你放弃完全控制，但是你也感受到了与其他人分享生活的奇妙，有些事，我从未放弃过。‎ ‎10. Find support.‎ If you can’t get support from some people in your life, find it elsewhere if possible. This might be from others who are doing the same thing as you — friends or family, or people ‎ in your community. It could be from online communities, such as social networks or forums. There are tons of people out there who are trying to simplify (the Zen Habits forums are just one example). Share your progress, challenges, frustrations with them, and you’ll find help from people who understand.‎ ‎10. 寻求支持。‎ 如果你不能从你生活中的一些人那里得到支持，尽可能地去别处寻找吧。它可能来自与你正在做同样事情的朋友、家人或者同小区的人。也可能是来自在线社区，比如说社交网络和论坛。在那里有非常多的人正在尝试着简化（禅宗习惯论坛就是一个例子）。与他们分享你的进步、挑战、挫折，你就可以从过来人那里获得帮助。‎ 高考试题一（2017年·新课标卷I）‎ 题型 体裁 话题 难度 建议时间 阅读理解 议论文 ‎ 充满希望和信念地等待 ‎★★★☆☆‎ ‎7分钟 ‎ I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of ＂waits＂.‎ ‎ The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless. ‎ A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. ＂Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.＂ I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience. ‎ Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is ‎ unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen. ‎ Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody. ‎ We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate. You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.‎ ‎51. While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ___________.‎ A. keep ourselves busy B. get absent-minded C. grow anxious D. stay focused ‎52. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?‎ A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control.‎ B. The Forced Wait makes people passive.‎ C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.‎ D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain. ‎ ‎53. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?‎ A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.‎ B. It doesn’t always bring the desired result. ‎ C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.‎ D. It doesn’t give people faith and hope.‎ ‎54. What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?‎ A. Take it seriously.‎ B. Don’t rely on others.‎ C. Do something else.‎ D. Don’t lose heart.‎ ‎55. The author supports his view by _________.‎ A. exploring various causes of ＂waits＂‎ B. describing detailed processes of ＂waits＂‎ C. analyzing different categories of ＂waits＂‎ D. revealing frustrating consequences of ＂waits＂‎ ‎【话题解读】这是一篇议论文。文章主要通过介绍三种不同种类的等待来论述我们花费大量的时间来等待而且说明作者自己的观点，即充满希望和信念地等待。‎ ‎51.

Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.‎ Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and ‎ suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.‎ Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic udner discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.‎ Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.‎ 32. What does the author say about silence in conversations?‎ A. It implies anger.‎ B. It promotes friendship.‎ C. It is culture-specific.‎ D. It is content-based.‎ 33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?‎ A. The Chinese.‎ B. The French.‎ C. The Mexicans.‎ D. The Russians.‎ 34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?‎ A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.‎ B. Break it while treating patients.‎ C. Evaluate its harm to patients.‎ D. Make use of its healing effects.‎ 35. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold ‎【话题解读】本文是一篇说明文， 主要介绍了沉默在不同文化背景下的不同内涵。‎ ‎32.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章首段首句The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups 可知，作者认为沉默是有文化特性的。‎ ‎33.A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中 what may be implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing可知中国人认为谈话时人们沉默是在思考。‎ 高考试题三（2016年·四川卷）‎ 题型 体裁 话题 难度 建议时间 完形填空 记叙文 ‎ 如何让孩子喜欢阅读 ‎★★★☆☆‎ ‎17分钟 ‎ Lainey finished third grade.

Even forcing your face into a smile can reduce stress and relax your heart rate.‎ Smiling is a language that everyone understands regardless of age, race, culture, language, and nationality. We all know that when you smile at people, even strangers, they almost always smile back, spreading a kind of peace and goodwill. This contagious(有感染力的) smiling comes from a subconscious tendency to match other people’s emotions. It’s why people who spend time around children, who smile often, naturally smile more than people who keep mostly adults company.‎ People who are generous with smiles are considered more likeable and approachable than people who wear a deadpan(面无表情的)expression. Consider successful salesmen and politicians. Can you imagine how we’d react if they wore sour expressions? People who smile a lot are more likely to gain our trust — and earn better tips — than someone who provides the same service with an impassive face.‎ In a study, Major League Baseball players from 1952 who wore full-faced, genuine smiles on their baseball cards lived longer, around 79.9 years, compared to players who only partly smiled or didn’t smile at all, who lived 5 to 7 years less. Smiling can make us look younger, too: People who smile frequently seem to age more slowly, appearing around three years younger than their less smiley counterparts.‎ We now have evidence that we are hardwired to smile. While smiling used to be considered a learned behavior that babies acquired at around six weeks of age, more advanced ultrasound testing has shown that even babies who are born blind can smile. Babies have been known to make breathing and sucking movements while still in the womb(子宫), and these reactions are thought to prepare them for their life outside. Now smiling has joined the list. Say cheese!‎ ‎1.What can smiling do according to Paragraph 1?‎ A. Remove your life pressure.‎ B. Improve the condition of the heart.‎ C. Make your blood pressure steady.‎ D. Prevent you from being absent-minded.‎ ‎2.What should you do if you want to smile more according to the author?‎ A. Stay more with people smiling more.‎ B. Approach smart children.‎ C. Care more about others’ feelings.‎ D. Volunteer together with more strangers.‎ ‎3.What does the author want to show by mentioning salesmen and politicians?‎ A.A false smile may hurt people.‎ B. Smiles contribute to a career.‎ C. Generous people tend to smile more.‎ D. Work pressure stops people smiling.‎ ‎4.What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?‎ A. Babies smile within 2 months.‎ B. Blind babies learn to smile.‎ C. Smiling is a natural ability.‎ D. Breathing and sucking are similar to smiling.‎ B 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ You can choose to think positively and see the good things around you, or you can choose to think negatively and only see the negative things around you. It’s all up to you. 　1　Look at what optimists do differently.‎ Believe in themselves.‎ While others doubt their own abilities, optimists believe they are good enough just the way they are and constantly try to get better. They trust their own intuition(直觉) and abilities when carrying out their day-to-day activities. 　2　They don’t need everyone’s ‎ approval.‎ Believe in others.‎ Optimists not only believe in themselves, but also in other people in their lives. 　3　They know that when you treat a person as he or she is, that person will remain so. But if you treat a person as he or she ought to be, that person will become what he or she ought be. Optimists simply see sparks of good in others and work to turn the sparks into a roaring flame.‎ ‎　4　‎ Optimists believe in seizing what life throws at them. They are not blind to the risks and dangers involved in taking chances, but rather look at the bigger picture, the resources available and then make every opportunity count for a much brighter future full of possibilities.‎ Forgive.‎ Optimists know better than to underestimate the power of forgiveness. Martin Luther King Jr. recognized the past was the past and forgiveness was the path to a better future for everyone. 　5　Optimists know tomorrow is another day and another opportunity to correct what needs correcting and create a brighter reality.‎ A. So he fought hate with love.‎ B. They do what feels right in their hearts.‎ C. Take full advantage of all opportunities.‎ D. Be cautious about risks and dangers in life.‎ E. They inspire others to be the best they can be.‎ F. It is advisable, however, that you think more positively.‎ G. Thus he devoted his life to the struggle for racial equality.‎ II.完形填空 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ One evening I was going back from a supermarket.

Babies have been known to make breathing and sucking movements while still in the womb(子宫)... Now smiling has joined the list＂可知，作者在最后一段中暗示微笑就和呼吸和吮吸一样是婴儿生来就会的，即微笑是一种本能。故选C项。‎ B ‎ 【文章大意】本文是说明文。积极的想法和消极的想法都取决于个人，然而，本文作者还是建议人们积极看待生活，并说明了乐观者是怎么做的。‎ ‎1.F 【解析】空前提到＂think positively and see the good things around you＂或者＂think negatively and only see the negative things around you＂都取决于你自己,空后提到＂Look at what optimists do differently＂，因此F项＂然而，你以更积极的方式去思考是明智的＂填在本空能起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。‎ ‎2.B 【解析】本段的小标题是＂(乐观者)相信他们自己＂，再根据空前的＂They trust their own intuition(直觉)and abilities...＂可知，B项＂他们做他们内心觉得正确的事情＂符合语境。‎ ‎4.C 【解析】根据本段中的关键字眼＂chances＂ ＂opportunity＂并结合＂make every opportunity count＂可知，本段主要讲的是＂充分利用所有的机会＂。D项容易被误选，因为D项中的＂risks and dangers＂对应本段中的＂risks and dangers＂，但是这个信息不是本段的主要信息。‎ ‎5.A 【解析】根据空前的＂Martin Luther King Jr. recognized the past was the past and forgiveness was the path to a better future for everyone＂可把目光集中在A项和G项上，因为这两项中的he指的就是Martin Luther King Jr.。再根据本段的小标题Forgive可知，A项＂因此他用爱来化解仇恨＂符合语境。G项表述的内容跟上下文联系不起来，故可排除。‎ II.完形填空 ‎ 【文章大意】本文是夹叙夹议文。作者在离开超市回家前遇到了一个流浪汉，通过与流浪汉的对话，作者了解到其实每个人都需要帮助，每个人都应该学会奉献。‎ ‎1.C 【解析】根据上文中的＂I was going back from a supermarket＂可知，作者刚从超市出来，准备回家，因此这里指的是作者靠近自己的车，而不是离开车、锁车或者停车。approach＂接近，靠近＂，符合语境。‎ ‎2.B 【解析】根据下文中的＂as a bum(流浪汉). It seemed that he was homeless＂可知，这个人似乎无家可归，因此可以被称为流浪汉。refer to. . . as＂称……是……＂，符合语境。turn down＂拒绝＂；leave behind＂留下＂；keep off＂使不接近＂。‎ ‎3.A 【解析】既然作者觉得他是流浪汉，那么作者当时觉得他应该会问自己要钱。expect＂预料，预计，认为＂，符合语境。understand＂理解＂；admit＂承认＂；recognize＂识别，认识到＂。‎ ‎4.D 【解析】根据上下文可知，作者在沉默了一会儿之后才回答。silence＂沉默＂，符合语境。contact＂联系＂；absence＂缺席＂。‎ ‎5.D 【解析】此处指＂内心的声音轻声跟我说＂。whisper＂低语，小声说＂，符合语境。respond＂回答，回应＂；react＂作出反应＂；appeal＂吸引，呼吁＂。‎ ‎6.A 【解析】根据上文中的＂the inner voice. . . ＂可知，作者内心很想问他是否要帮忙，但是作者又有点犹豫，不知道该不该问。hesitation＂犹豫＂，符合语境。‎ ‎7.C 【解析】根据下文中的＂I will never forget those simple three words ‘Don’t we all?’可知，他的回答很令作者惊讶，作者永远也忘不了那简单的三个词。casual＂随意的＂；cautious＂谨慎 的＂；astonishing＂令人惊讶的＂；ambiguous＂模棱两可的＂。‎ ‎10.A 【解析】此处表示＂我有钱、有地方睡觉，但是我还是需要帮助＂。still＂仍然，还是＂，符合语境。‎ ‎11.D 【解析】突然间，作者明白了不管我们有多少钱，有多少成就，有多少奢侈的东西，我们都需要帮助。previously＂先前地＂；obviously＂显然＂；generally＂普遍地＂；suddenly＂突然＂。‎ ‎12.A 【解析】参见上题解析。achievement＂成就＂；talent＂天赋＂；potential＂潜能＂；budget＂预算＂。‎ ‎13.B 【解析】此处与上一句中描述的情况作对比，表示另一方面，不管你多穷，你有多少物质上的(material)问题，你仍然可能给予。medical＂医疗的＂；absurd＂荒谬的＂；theoretical＂理论上的＂。‎ ‎14.C 【解析】即使只是一句暖心话，它对其他人来讲也是很重要的。even though＂即使＂，符合语境。if only＂要是……就好了＂；now that＂既然＂；in case＂以防万一＂。‎ ‎15.A 【解析】参见上题解析。priceless＂无价的，极重要的＂；harmless＂无害的＂；blameless＂无过错的＂。‎ ‎16.B 【解析】也许那个人只是一个无家可归的陌生人，但是对于作者来说，他不仅仅意味着这一点。more than＂超出，不仅仅＂，符合语境。other than＂除了＂；rather than＂而不是＂；less than＂少于＂。‎ ‎17.C 【解析】或许他是被派来提醒我在所有的价值观中，还有一种非常重要的，对每个人来说都不可取代的东西。remind＂提醒＂，符合语境。warn＂警告＂；promise＂承诺＂；assure＂使确信＂。‎ ‎18.D 【解析】参见上题解析。‎ ‎19.A 【解析】有一样东西对每个人来说既重要又不可替代(substituted)。assign＂分配＂；contradict＂反驳＂；betray＂背叛＂。‎ ‎20.B 【解析】事实上，它是一个被称作＂给予＂的真正的礼物(gift)。inspiration＂灵感，鼓舞人心的人(或事物)＂；faith＂信念＂；guidance＂指导，引导＂。‎ III.语法填空 ‎【文章大意】本文主要讲述一项新的研究表明强颜欢笑只会让你的抑郁更加严重，不开心要说出来，接受你的悲伤或许更加有益。‎ ‎1.trying ‎【解析】考查非谓语动词。＂_______(try) to keep a smile on your face＂作主语，作主语用动名词形式，故填trying。‎ ‎ 4.sadness ‎【解析】考查名词。形容词性物主代词修饰名词，sadness＂悲哀＂是不可数名词。故填sadness。‎ ‎5.the ‎【解析】考查冠词。此处特指墨尔本大学，故用定冠词。故填the。‎ ‎6.are ‎【解析】考查主谓一致。主语rates是复数，由时间状语now可知句子使用一般现在时，故填are。‎ ‎7.itself ‎【解析】考查代词。句意：幸福感不再仅仅只是幸福生活的副产品，其本身就已经成为了一个目标。in itself＂本身；本质上＂是固定搭配。故填itself。‎ ‎8.to increase ‎【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：这加强了这一信息——我们应该增强我们的积极情绪，避免消极情绪。aim to do sth.＂以做……为目标＂为常用搭配。故填to increase。‎ ‎9.intentionally ‎【解析】考查副词。intentionally作状语修饰非谓语动词showing，作状语用副词形式。故填intentionally。‎ ‎10.published ‎【解析】考查非谓语动词。＂_______(publish) in the journal Depressing and Anxiety＂作定语修饰the study，publish与study是被动关系，过去分词表示被动关系。故填published。‎ IV.书面表达 ‎ Let’s better ourselves and polish our life through better English!‎ That’s all.
