1.如何帮助孩子负责任地使用技术
Technology is here to stay. ___1___. However, they are often unsure on how to help children use technology responsibly and keep a balance between online and offline time. Here are some tips.
Have a device contract
Having a device usage contract allows parents and children to work through what responsible technology usage looks like in your family and ensure that everyone is aware. ___2___. Kids are more likely to make sense of the reasons you have for restriction.
___3___
Although this tip seems like common sense, it is often difficult due to the demand of work and the expectation of being constantly connected. By ensuring you build offline time into your own day and communicate that with your children, they will see the value and benefits. Whether you are reading a book or just taking a walk, letting your children be aware of your offline actions will encourage them to do the same!
Encourage non-tech activities
One great way to keep kids off their screens is to ensure that they have other activities to fill their time. ___4___. These activities are also great ways to help children to develop their social skills and confidence.
Tech-free family time
Once a week, pencil-in a “tech-free family time” in your schedule. It can be a meal or trip. To help increase the success of outings, try designing special activities, i. e., going to the beach to build a sand castle that looks the same as a photo you have found online. ___5___
A．Model good technology use
B．Communicate with children
C．A little extra planning goes a long way
D．The contract is helpful to the settlement of conflicts
E．Parents are seeing more technology in their homes and jobs
F．Also, drafting the contract together promotes understanding
G．This can come in a variety of forms: soccer, fencing and more
【答案】1．E2．F3．A4．G5．C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。作者就家长如何帮助孩子负责任地使用技术，并在在线和离线时间之间保持平衡，提了几个建议。
1．本段小标题“Technology is here to stay.”提到了技术无处不在。下文中的“However, they are often unsure on how to help children use technology responsibly and keep a balance between online and offline time.(然而，他们往往不确定如何帮助孩子负责任地使用技术，并在在线和离线时间之间保持平衡)”提到家长们不确定如何帮孩子，E选项“Parents are seeing more technology in their homes and jobs(家长们在家里和工作上看到更多的技术)”和下文一致，并且“Parents”和下文中的“they”是一致的。故选E。
2．本段小标题是“Have a device contract(签订设备合同)”，上文“Having a device usage contract allows parents and children to work through what responsible technology usage looks like in your family and ensure that everyone is aware.(签订设备使用合同可以让父母和孩子了解家庭中负责任的技术使用情况，并确保每个人都知道)”是签订合同的好处之一。F选项“Also, drafting the contract together promotes understanding(此外，共同起草合同可以促进理解)”和上文是递进关系，意思上一致。故选F项。
3．下文中的“By ensuring you build offline time into your own day and communicate that with your children, they will see the value and benefits. Whether you are reading a book or just taking a walk, letting your children be aware of your offline actions will encourage them to do the same!(通过确保你将离线时间融入自己的一天，并与你的孩子沟通，他们将看到其价值和好处。无论你是在看书还是只是散步，让你的孩子知道你的离线行为都会鼓励他们也这么做！)”可知，本段是在说父母给孩子展示技术在工作和生活中的应用。A选项“Model good technology use(示范良好的技术使用)”能概括本段，作为小标题。故选A项。
4．本段小标题是“Encourage non-tech activities(鼓励非科技活动)”，上文“One great way to keep kids off their screens is to ensure that they have other activities to fill their time.(让孩子远离屏幕的一个好方法是确保他们有其他活动来打发时间)”提到让孩子远离屏幕的活动，G选项“This can come in a variety of forms: soccer, fencing and more(这可以有多种形式：足球，击剑和更多)”是一些具体的例子，意思和前文一致。故选G项。
5．本段小标题是“Tech-free family time(无科技家庭时间)”，前文“To help increase the success of outings, try designing special activities, i. e., going to the beach to build a sand castle that looks the same as a photo you have found online.(为了提高郊游的成功率，可以尝试设计一些特别的活动，比如去海滩建造一座看起来和你在网上找到的照片一样的沙堡)”是说明在无科技家庭时间中父母的一些计划安排。C选项“A little extra planning goes a long way(一点额外的计划会大有帮助)”符合语境。故选C项。
2. 体育精神
Good sportsmanship is one of the most important lessons that your kids can learn from competition. But how do you teach your kids good sportsmanship Here are some tips.

____2____The coach is always looking for the best decision for the good of the whole team.____3____Your kids may feel upset at first. But showing good sportsmanship means placing the team's needs above their own, so you should teach your kids to trust the coach’s judgement.
Remember you are the parent, not the coach. Your job as a parent is different from a job as a coach. As a parent, you are there to guide all of your kids' experiences and not focus on demanding performance. However, if you see a coach demanding too much, speak up. ____4____
Maintain a good attitude to both winning and losing. Good sportsmanship also requires a positive attitude to both the victory and the defeat. Pushing your kids too hard may drive them to quit.____5____ It's also a good idea to find positive plays to talk about and discuss lessons to be learned after.

B．Tell your kids to listen to the coach.

【答案】1．F2．B3．E4．D5．G
【解析】这是一篇说明文。良好的体育精神是你的孩子可以从竞争中学到的最重要的课程之一。 文章主要就如何教会你的孩子拥有良好的体育精神提出了一些建议。
1．根据上文“Set a good example. The first role model that your kids will have in games is you. What behavior you model will have the biggest influence on your kids.(树立一个好榜样。你的孩子在游戏中的第一个榜样就是你自己。你所模仿的行为将对你的孩子产生最大的影响)”以及后文“By doing so, your kids will learn from you unconsciously and gain more popularity.(通过这样做，你的孩子会在不知不觉中向你学习，并获得更多的人气)”可知，上文提到了榜样作用对孩子的影响，推测本句是在说明具体怎么做：对球场上的所有人友善，甚至是对手，与后文获得人气相呼应。F选项“你需要对球场上的所有人友善，甚至是对手”符合语境，故选F。
2．根据后文“The coach is always looking for the best decision for the good of the whole team.(教练总是在寻找对全队有利的最佳决策)”可知，后文提到了教练的作用，可见要听教练的话，B选项中coach对应后文中coach。B选项“告诉你的孩子听教练的话”符合语境，故选B。
3．根据上文“The coach is always looking for the best decision for the good of the whole team.(教练总是在寻找对全队有利的最佳决策)”以及后文“Your kids may feel upset at first.(你的孩子一开始可能会感到不安)”可知，后文提到了孩子一开始感到不安，可见本句是在说明教练采取了对孩子不利的决策，E选项“这意味着你的孩子的角色可能会减少或改变”符合语境，故选E。
4．根据上文“Remember you are the parent, not the coach. Your job as a parent is different from a job as a coach. As a parent, you are there to guide all of your kids' experiences and not focus on demanding performance. However, if you see a coach demanding too much, speak up.(记住，你是家长，而不是教练。你作为父母的工作与作为教练的工作是不同的。作为一名家长，你要引导孩子的所有经历，而不是关注苛刻的表现。然而，如果你看到教练要求太多，那就大声说出来)”可知，上文提到如果看到教练有太多要求，要大声说出来，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明原因：你也是你孩子的支持者。D选项“毕竟，如果需要的话，你也是你孩子的支持者”符合语境，故选D。
5．根据上文“Maintain a good attitude to both winning and losing. Good sportsmanship also requires a positive attitude to both the victory and the defeat. Pushing your kids too hard may drive them to quit.(无论输赢，都要保持良好的心态。良好的体育精神也需要对胜利和失败都有积极的态度。把你的孩子逼得太紧可能会让他们放弃)”可知，上文强调了良好的体育精神也需要对胜利和失败都有积极的态度，把你的孩子逼得太紧可能会让他们放弃，本句与上文构成转折，指出不能太过强调输赢的结果，重在支持孩子，G选项“相反，无论结果如何，总是告诉他们你为他们感到骄傲”符合语境，故选G。
3. 提高情商的一些方法

4. 科学学习的方法
Studying smarter, not longer, matters now more than ever, with students in many countries having to manage their time and study more on their own. ____1____ The good news: Science points to ones that really work.
Use pictures. Pay attention to drawings, graphics, chart and other visual aids in your class materials, psychologist Mark McDaniel says. “____2____ And if there aren’t pictures, creating them can be really, really useful.”
Find examples. Abstract concepts can be hard to understand. It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something, psychologist Cynthia Nebel says. For instance, sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid.____3____ But if you think about a lemon or vinegar, it’s easier to understand and remember that acids and sour go together.
___4____ Psychologist Nate Komell “definitely did cram (临时抱佛脚)” before big tests when he was a student. He still thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a big test. But research shows it’s a bad idea to cram all your studying into that day. Instead, allow time between study sessions and you’ll learn and remember material better.
Dig deeper. It’s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about Why do they matter Psychologists call this elaboration. “It’s asking a lot of how and why questions about it,” Nebel says.____5____
Try adding just one new study skill each week or two. It may seem odd at first. But, by the time week two rolls around, it becomes a normal thing.
A．Reread books and notes.
B．Space out your studying.
C．They really boost your memory of the material.
D．Yet many students have never learned those skills.

F．On its own, that concept might be hard to remember.
G．It’s like telling students to learn to swim by “just swimming.”
【答案】1．D2．C3．F4．B5．E
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学学习的方法。
1．根据前文“Studying smarter, not longer, matters now more than ever, with students in many countries having to manage their time and study more on their own.(更聪明地学习，而不是更长时间地学习，现在比以往任何时候都更重要，因为许多国家的学生不得不管理自己的时间，更多地自己学习)”和后文“The good news: Science points to ones that really work.(好消息：科学指出了真正有效的方法)”可知，这里介绍好多学生没有掌握学习的技能。D选择项“Yet many students have never learned those skills.(然而，许多学生从来没有学过这些技能)”符合题意，故选D。
2．根据前文“Pay attention to drawings, graphics, chart and other visual aids in your class materials, psychologist Mark McDaniel says.(心理学家马克·麦克丹尼尔说，在课堂材料中注意绘画、图形、图表和其他视觉辅助材料)”可知，本段介绍的是注意图片对记忆的好处。C选择项“They really boost your memory of the material.(它们真的能提高你对材料的记忆)”符合题意，故选C。
3．根据后文“But if you think about a lemon or vinegar, it’s easier to understand and remember that acids and sour go together.(但是如果你想到柠檬或醋，就更容易理解并记住酸和酸是一起的)”中的But可知，这里介绍单纯的记忆很困难。F选择项“On its own, that concept might be hard to remember.(就其本身而言，这个概念可能很难记住)”符合题意，故选F。
4．根据后文“Instead, allow time between study sessions and you’ll learn and remember material better.(相反，在学习之间留出时间，这样你就能更好地学习和记忆材料)”可知，本段介绍的是要合理安排学习时间。B选择项“Space out your studying.(把你的学习空间隔开)”符合题意，故选B。
5．根据本段开头“Dig deeper.(挖掘更深)”和前文““It’s asking a lot of how and why questions about it,” Nebel says.(“这是在问很多关于如何和为什么的问题，”内贝尔说)”可知，本段介绍的是我们深入学习，要学会钻研。E选择项“In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value.(换句话说，不要只接受事实的表面价值)”符合题意，故选E。
5. 时间管理的原则
The secret to managing your time wisely is figuring out a system that works for you as quickly as possible. Let three simple principles guide you.
Write it down. There’s no reason why you need to expect your brain to remember everything you have to do and when you have to do it. You can make a to-do list and enter it into your phone.____1____Whatever you decide to use to track your life, be sure to put all the information in the same place. In fact, take all the relevant due dates from each class syllabus(教学大纲)and enter the information into a single location. You need to see the big picture and keep track of the little things at the same time.
____2____Let the things you want to do be the reward for doing the things that you have to do. You can hang out with friends or watch a favorite television show after working hard on your study.____3____However, if you can get yourself into a cycle of rewarding yourself after you’ve performed your responsibilities, then it gets easier and easier to do.
Do as much as you can before dinner. Generally speaking, you should treat your academic tasks as your full-time job.___4____Your “job” as a college student should include attending class, completing homework, actively reading, thinking critically about what you’re learning, practicing and preparing for tests, and meeting with classmates and instructors.____5____
A．It means a 40-hour work week.
B．A part-time job is also beneficial to you.
C．And a time management App is also useful.
D．Work hard, play hard—just do the work first.
E．Reward yourself by hanging out with your friends.
F．This particular principle is much easier said than done. .
G．If highly productive before dinner, you will have much time left.
【答案】1．C2．D3．E4．B5．G
【解析】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了三种时间管理的原则。
1．根据前文“You can make a to-do list and enter it into your phone.(你可以制作一份待办事项清单，并将其输入手机)”可知，可以通过手机来记录待办事项，从而管理时间，C项“And a time management App is also useful.(时间管理应用软件也很有用)”中的“应用软件”也是在手机上使用的，承接了上文。故选C。
2．设空处缺少本段的中心句，根据后文“Let the things you want to do be the reward for doing the things that you have to do.(让你想做的事情成为你必须做的事情的奖励)”和“However, if you can get yourself into a cycle of rewarding yourself after you’ve performed your responsibilities, then it gets easier and easier to do.(然而，如果你能让自己进入一个在完成自己的职责后便奖励自己的循环，那么做事就会变得越来越容易。)”可知，应该先做必须做的事再做自己想做的事，把想做的事情变成奖励，因此推断D项“Work hard, play hard—just do the work first.(努力学习，尽情玩耍——但要先把任务完成)”所表达的意思正是应该先学习再娱乐，从句式和句意上均适合作为中心句。故选D。
3．后文“However, if you can get yourself into a cycle of rewarding yourself after you've performed your responsibilities, then it gets easier and easier to do.(然而，如果你能让自己进入一个在完成自己的职责后便奖励自己的循环，那么做事就会变得越来越容易)”讲述努力做事，奖励自己成为一个良性循环，做事就会越来越努力，E项中的“Reward yourself”与下文的“reward yourself”一致，因此推断“Reward yourself by hanging out with your friends.(把跟朋友们出去玩当做给自己的奖励)”符合语境。故选E。
4．前文“Generally speaking, you should treat your academic tasks as your full-time job.(一般来说，你应该把学习任务当成你的全职工作)”中的“full-time job”呼应了B项“A part-time job is also beneficial to you.(兼职工作对你也有好处的)”的“part-time job”，后文则详细阐述这些工作的内容。故选B。
5．根据段落中心句“Do as much as you can before dinner.(晚饭前尽可能地多做)”可知，本段主要讲的是充分利用晚饭前的时间，G项“If highly productive before dinner, you will have much time left.(如果晚餐前工作效率很高，你会节省出很多时间)”呼应了段落主题。故选G。

So how do we deal with that negative junk in our head The ways may be various, but the all have one idea in common(消极思维导致消极后果。那么，我们该如何处理大脑中的负面垃圾呢？方法可能多种多样，但都有一个共同的想法)”以及后文“External factor influence our lie to some degree, but it is mostly how we interpret external factors that has the greatest impact. Here is what we can do.(外部因素在一定程度上影响我们的谎言，但主要是我们对外部因素的解释有最大的影响。下面是我们可以做的)”可知，上文提到都有一个共同的想法，可知本句承接上文说明这一共同想法是什么：我们是自己的主人。故A选项“我们是自己的主人”符合语境，故选A。
2．根据下文“Do you want to catch a cold Stay with people with a cold. I am not sure whether the advice stands, but it is partly true.

Negative people are not optimistic. So make friends with positive people.(你想感冒吗？那就去和感冒的人呆在一起。我不确定这个建议是否站得住脚，但它部分是正确的。人们更喜欢和和自己相似的人在一起。穷人喜欢和其他穷人在一起，富人喜欢和其他富人在一起。消极的人并不乐观。所以和积极向上的人交朋友吧)”可知，后文提到要和和自己相似的人待在一起，即本句为本段主旨，在建议与志趣相投的人来往。故D选项“与志趣相投的人交往”符合语境，故选D。
3．根据上文“So make friends with positive people. (所以和积极向上的人交朋友吧)”可知，上文提到要和积极向上的人交朋友，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明结果：他们经常会融化掉周围所有的消极情绪，G选项中They对应上文中positive people。故G选项“他们经常会融化掉周围所有的消极情绪”符合语境，故选G。

5．根据上文“Mind your attitude. It starts the moment you wake up in the morning. Ask yourself: Do I want to be happy or miserable (在意你的态度。它从你早上醒来的那一刻开始。问问你自己：我想要快乐还是痛苦？)”以及后文“If you intend to hold on to a negative frame of mind, you are inevitably choosing to be unhappy. If you want to achieve your own inner happiness you are likely to cultivate it through good and uplifting thoughts.(如果你想要保持一种消极的心态，你将不可避免地选择不快乐。如果你想要获得自己内心的幸福，你可能会通过良好的、令人振奋的思想来培养它)”可知，上文提到问自己想要快乐还是痛苦，后文则对两种选择分别进行了分析，可知本句是在说明选择决定了快乐还是痛苦。故B选项“你所做的选择会决定一切”符合语境，故选B。
7. 如何轻松地影响他人
In the words of Tali Sharot, author of the book The Influential Mind: What the Brain Reveals About Our Power to Change Others, it is not difficult to influence others.
____1____ Research suggests that people don’t always act to avoid negative consequences. In one study, participants viewed pictures and had to act (press a button) or not act (not press a button) when a certain one appeared. The correct response would earn them a reward or save them from a loss. Ultimately, participants performed better when they had to act to earn a reward and not act to avoid a loss.
____2____ While negative emotions and images encourage inaction, research also suggests that positive ones tend to inspire people to act. So you might try talking about your fancy gym or a fun fitness activity to get your family members to exercise.
When we’re communicating negative information, listeners will be particularly influenced when stressed.____3____if you’re a doctor trying to communicate disease risk to a stressed patient. People also have a tendency to ignore negative information, which can make them feel bad. ____4____ In that case, it might be better to wait until people are more relaxed or to frame things in a positive way.
Another effective way to influence people is to give them control. If you’re a parent, you may have discovered that kids are much more receptive to your suggestions if you let them pick between healthy snacks or after-dinner chores. They’re anticipating a good result that they’ll get to select for themselves.____5____
So influencing others isn’t that challenging.
A．That might be of help
B．What should you do instead
C．Is this in line with common sense
D．So communicating bad news may be tricky

【答案】1．E2．B3．A4．D5．G
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何轻松地影响他人。
1．空处位于段首，应开启下文。根据下文“Research suggests that people don’t always act to avoid negative consequences. In one study, participants viewed pictures and had to act (press a button) or not act (not press a button) when a certain one appeared. The correct response would earn them a reward or save them from a loss. Ultimately, participants performed better when they had to act to earn a reward and not act to avoid a loss.（研究表明，人们并不总是为了避免负面后果而采取行动。在一项研究中，参与者观看图片，当有特定的图片出现时，他们必须采取行动(按下按钮)或不采取行动(不按按钮)。正确的反应将为他们赢得奖励或避免损失。最终，当参与者必须采取行动以获得奖励，而不是采取行动以避免损失时，他们表现得更好）”可知，下文描述了人们对特殊情况是如何进行反应的。结合第一段Tali Sharot认为影响他人并不难和她的书《有影响力的头脑：大脑揭示了我们改变他人的力量》，推知空处提出“大脑对施加给它的行为有何反应？”。E项“大脑对试图施加影响的行为有何反应”符合题意，下文是对该问题的问题，选项中的brain呼应上文的brain。故选E。
2．空处位于段首，应开启下文。根据下文“While negative emotions and images encourage inaction, research also suggests that positive ones tend to inspire people to act. So you might try talking about your fancy gym or a fun fitness activity to get your family members to exercise.（虽然消极的情绪和图像会让人无所作为，但研究也表明，积极的情绪和图像往往会激励人们采取行动。所以你可以试着谈论你的高档健身房或有趣的健身活动，让你的家人去锻炼）”可知，本段建议人们通过谈论积极的东西，激励人们采取行动。B项“你应该怎么做呢？”符合题意，引出下文。故选B。
3．根据上文“When we’re communicating negative information, listeners will be particularly influenced when stressed.（当我们传达负面信息时，对方在压力下会受到特别大的影响）”和下文“if you’re a doctor trying to communicate disease risk to a stressed patient.（如果你是一名医生，试图将疾病风险传达给压力很大的病人）”可知，传递负面信息会让听话的人压力特别大，所以作为医生把疾病风险告诉给压力很大的病人可能是有用的。A项“这可能会有所帮助”符合题意，that指代“if you’re a doctor trying to communicate disease risk to a stressed patient”。故选A。
4．根据上文“People also have a tendency to ignore negative information, which can make them feel bad.（人们也有忽视让他们感觉不好的负面信息的倾向）”可知，人们常常会忽略让自己感觉不好的负面信息，因此和别人谈论负面消息可能不是那么容易。D项“所以传达坏消息可能很棘手”符合题意，和上文构成因果关系。故选D。
5．根据“Another effective way to influence people is to give them control. （另一个影响他人的有效方法是给予他们控制权）”可知，本段主要陈述通过给别人控制权来影响他们。再结合上文“If you’re a parent, you may have discovered that kids are much more receptive to your suggestions if you let them pick between healthy snacks or after-dinner chores. They’re anticipating a good result that they’ll get to select for themselves.（如果你是一位家长，你可能已经发现，如果你让孩子们在健康的零食和饭后的家务之间做出选择，他们会更容易接受你的建议。他们期待着一个好的结果，他们可以自己选择）”可知，家长适当放弃控制，让孩子拥有选择或控制的权力，结果会更好。G项“放弃控制权，哪怕是一点点或仅仅是对它的感知都会有所帮助”符合题意，control是关键词。故选G。
8. 成功的生活建议
No matter what your goals are in life, there is one great law that you need to obey in order to be successful: No one else is going to climb the ladder (梯子) of success for you. ____1____ Prom the day you leave your parents’ house, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make.
If you want a better life, you need to make better decisions. ____2___ However, it doesn’t change anything. Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make.

____3____ If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. That’s because every great victory requires great sacrifice. If success was easy, everybody would be success.
There is nothing that you can’t achieve with hard work. People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical event in the future. ____4____ Your life changes only to the extent that you change. Nothing will ever change if you don’t change what you do daily.

【答案】1．B2．G3．F4．A5．E
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章就如何过上成功的生活提出了一些建议。
1．根据上文“No one else is going to climb the ladder (梯子) of success for you.(没有人能为你爬上成功的阶梯)”和下文“From the day you leave your parents’ house, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make.(你离开父母家的那一天起，你就要为自己的生活和所做的选择负责)”可知，没人能为我们爬上成功的阶梯，离家之后我们就要对自己负责。由此可知，没有任何人能对我们的生活负责。B项“没有人对你的生活负责”符合题意，responsible是关键词。故选B。
2．根据下文“However, it doesn’t change anything. Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make.(然而，这并没有改变什么。只有你能通过改变自己的选择来改变自己的人生)”推知，空处陈述了一种我们常常做但却没有任何意义、不能对自己的人生做出任何改变的行为。G项“你可以将一生的不幸福归咎于他人”符合题意，下文的it指代选项所陈述的内容。故选G。
3．空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. That’s because every great victory requires great sacrifice. If success was easy, everybody would be success.(如果你选择了有趣而简单的东西而不是必要的东西，你将永远不会达到你在生活中能够达到的成功和幸福的水平。因为每一个伟大的胜利都需要巨大的牺牲。如果成功很容易，每个人都会成功)”可知，成功需要需要牺牲，选择简单和乐趣是不能成功的。由此推知，空处提出成功忌讳选择简单容易的方式。F项“成功的最大敌人是阻力最小的道路”符合题意，the path of least resistance指代下文的what is fun and easy 。故选F。
4．根据上文“People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical event in the future.(人们经常认为他们的生活会因为未来的一些神奇事件而突然改变)”和下文“Your life changes only to the extent that you change. Nothing will ever change if you don’t change what you do daily.(你的生活只有在你改变的程度上才会改变。如果你不改变你每天做的事情，什么都不会改变)”可知，生活不会因为一些神奇的事情而改变，除非你自己做出改变。由此推知，空处陈述上文提到的情况并非事实。A项“但事实并非如此”符合题意，承上启下。故选A。
5．空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“If I already achieved my goals, how would I act on a daily basis What books would I read, how often would I work out, and how would I spend my time at the office (如果我已经实现了我的目标，我每天该怎么做？我会读什么书，多久锻炼一次，我会如何在办公室度过时间？)”可知，上文提出了三个问题。由此推知，空处陈述的内容应与这三个问题相关。E项“一旦你回答了这些问题，你就知道该怎么做了”符合题意，these questions指上文的三个问题。故选E。

____2____ Most people’s living space is filled with things that are never used and don’t contribute to their well-being. Separate the ones you do need from the ones you don’t, and throw the latter right into the dustin — or better, give them away to people who might actually benefit from them.
Appreciate all the amazing things you already have. We constantly compare ourselves to others who seem happier, more beautiful and more important than us. We try our best to imitate those we envy. ____3____ We need to stop comparing and accept ourselves for who we are, with all our imperfections. Take a moment to appreciate what you have.
Do one thing at a time. Minimalist living actually means making the most out of each and every moment. We’re usually carrying out different tasks at the same time. So whatever we are doing, our mind is partly wondering somewhere else. ____4____
Develop mindfulness. ____5____ Thus you need to develop mindfulness. Mindfulness means fully attending to what’s happening in the present. There are many ways one can do so. Perhaps the most common way is to sit for about 30 minutes somewhere comfortably with your upper back straight and pay full attention to your breath as it’s coming in and out through your nose. In this way, you won’t be distracted by your thoughts.
A．It is about enjoying life more with less.
B．Stop consuming products you don’t need.

15. 对抗健忘的办法
Do you ever walk out of a room with an idea in your head, only to discover moments later that it’s gone
____1____ These are cues (暗示) your memory uses to stop remembering, in the belief that a particular mental task is over. When you walk out of a room, you create such an event boundary, signaling to your brain that it can dump anything not firmly fixed in place.
Tests have proved that we’re much more forgetful when we move from one location to another. ____2____ It’s because anything that seems like the end of a task — such as finishing a phone call — can have the same effect. Within seconds, the information you revised is gone.
But here’s how to fight back.
First, stop telling your brain that its work is done. This can be as simple as leaving a book open instead of putting it back on the shelf. Second, create clues to carry with you across any unavoidable event boundary. ____3____ And spend a moment strengthening your memory.
If possible, say the key points out loud: the job you’re walking off to do in the next room, for example. And picture the details you want to keep, because using imagery is an effective way to improve memory. ____4____ Or see yourself meeting your friend in the park.
It can even help to do something physical, like crossing your fingers. Your brain will see this as part of the activity — which can’t have finished yet, because your fingers are still crossed!
____5____ But by avoiding them when you can, and disguising them when you can’t, you’ll find that much less of your learning gets lost.
A．Focus on one task at a time.
B．Digital distractions can cause memory loss.
C．Visualize the key steps in the baking process.
D．The problem is often caused by “event boundaries”.
E．Notice when one of these end-points to learning is coming up.
F．But the same happens when we go from one activity to another, too.
G．Every day you’re faced with event boundaries that restrict your recall.

15. 对抗健忘的办法
Do you ever walk out of a room with an idea in your head, only to discover moments later that it’s gone
____1____ These are cues (暗示) your memory uses to stop remembering, in the belief that a particular mental task is over. When you walk out of a room, you create such an event boundary, signaling to your brain that it can dump anything not firmly fixed in place.
Tests have proved that we’re much more forgetful when we move from one location to another. ____2____ It’s because anything that seems like the end of a task — such as finishing a phone call — can have the same effect. Within seconds, the information you revised is gone.
But here’s how to fight back.
First, stop telling your brain that its work is done. This can be as simple as leaving a book open instead of putting it back on the shelf. Second, create clues to carry with you across any unavoidable event boundary. ____3____ And spend a moment strengthening your memory.
If possible, say the key points out loud: the job you’re walking off to do in the next room, for example. And picture the details you want to keep, because using imagery is an effective way to improve memory. ____4____ Or see yourself meeting your friend in the park.
It can even help to do something physical, like crossing your fingers. Your brain will see this as part of the activity — which can’t have finished yet, because your fingers are still crossed!
____5____ But by avoiding them when you can, and disguising them when you can’t, you’ll find that much less of your learning gets lost.
A．Focus on one task at a time.
B．Digital distractions can cause memory loss.
C．Visualize the key steps in the baking process.
D．The problem is often caused by “event boundaries”.
E．Notice when one of these end-points to learning is coming up.
F．But the same happens when we go from one activity to another, too.
G．Every day you’re faced with event boundaries that restrict your recall.
16. 提高你的学习方法
Many students study with little thought about what comes after their study session. ____1____ Here are some no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning.
When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity, like playing a video game or watching television. But research suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studied. This is what is called “wakeful rest”. According to the latest research, “A period of wakeful rest immediately after new learning boosts free recall of verbal material, “the research says. ____2____ The basic idea is this: by reducing your activity after the study session, your brain gets a chance to rest. However, resting is difficult when you have too much excitement from electronic devices, games, lights and so on. ____3____ Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. Just limit the amount of excitement you get. It is really that easy!
In addition to wakeful rest, ____4____ A person who lacks sleep cannot focus attention completely and therefore cannot learn efficiently. Also, sleep itself has a role in strengthening memory, which is essential for learning new information. Sometimes, when we first form memories, they’re in a very raw and fragile form. ____5____
Now you have two suggestions for how to learn new information. Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study session. Then try to get a good night’s sleep.
A．They are often hard to keep.
B．sleep is also important for learning.
C．relaxation after study is very important.
D．Sleep is important for forming memories.

G．But what you do after study really influences how well you learn.

Clarify the team expectations so everyone is on the same page. _____2_____ It’s likely that each teammate has a different idea about what’s expected of them, as well as what everyone else needs to be doing. It’s essential that the team discuss these expectations and agree on one universal list of expectations that everyone will follow.
_____3_____ No one likes a teammate who barely contributes to the project. Take on an equal part of the work, and speak up if you realize you aren’t doing your fair share. Not only will your group mates appreciate your work ethic, it will show your supervisor or instructor that you’re a good team player.
Direct your concern toward the problem, not your teammates. Don’t accuse or blame anyone on your team for causing the conflict, even if you believe they did. _____4_____ Have your team work through conflict, using it to their benefit.
Focus on the success of the group, not your personal success. When you’re on a team, everyone’s success depends on each member working toward a common goal. _____5_____ Keep your focus on your team’s success, and your own success will follow.
A．Make sure you do an equal share of the work.
B．Volunteer to take on extra work when necessary.

18. 积极的人际关系
Develop Positive Relationships
One of the most profound experiences we can have in our lives is the connection we have with other human beings. Positive and supportive relationships will help us to feel healthier, happier, and more satisfied with our lives. ____1____
●Accept and celebrate differences.
____2____ Yet when we try to build relationships, we expect that people will think like we do. In this way, it is so much easier to create a friendly relationship. However, while we may find it initially easier, the novelty of sameness soon would wear off. So accepting that we are all different is a great starting point.
●Listen effectively.
Listening is a crucial skill in boosting another person’s self-esteem.____3____In active listening, we also are genuinely interested in understanding what the other person is thinking, feeling, wanting, or what the message means, and we are active in checking out our understanding before we respond with our own new message. This process is what distinguishes active listening and makes it effective.
●____4____
In a world where time is of the essence, we don’t always have the time to give to our loved ones. Being present in the time you give to people is important. In other words, when you are with someone, you are truly with someone and not living in the past or worrying about the future. Devoting time, energy, and effort to building relationships is one of the most valuable life skills.
●Manage mobile technology.
By now, everyone has a mobile phone and many people have two or more. While they are a lifesaver in an emergency, and an effective tool for communication, they also can be a complete distraction when people exhibit a lack of mobile phone etiquette (礼仪).____5____

B．Develop your communication skills.
C．We can perceive the world variously.
D．Active listening is the most useful listening skill.

19. 自律的方法

However, after a moment, you think. “Wait, it’s okay because today is New Year’s Day, time to get back in shape!”
For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence (放纵). During December, it is often justified by the planning of New Year’s resolutions to turn oneself into a fit and healthy human being. However, the fact is that approximately 80% of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned before February.____2____ While we may have good intentions when making resolutions, we are not actually making ourselves any more disciplined. Change involves, a degree of stress, and someone not mentally equipped to handle that stress will struggle to change.
____3____ One idea is to think small rather than big. Many people’s plans involve extreme measures, while in reality, change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. ____4____ 30 minutes of TV time for two hours at the gym can be rewarding in motivating someone to work out every day.
Finally, set concrete goals. ____5___ For example, “I’m going to go running every day to train for a half-marathon in April” would be far more powerful than “I’m going to get in better shape this year”. Most importantly, remember that despite their names, New Year’s resolutions should be for life. Change takes time and effort, but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently… or at least until June.

Make a Change

Accept Things as They Are
Once you start taking action to change the situation, then it becomes much easier to accept things as they are. Acceptance doesn’t mean you accept that things never change. ____3____.
