It also explains the 2011 findings by researchers at the Face Research Laboratory. They found that both men and women were more attracted to images of people who made eye contact and smiled than those who did not.
__9__
Did you know that your smile is actually contagious(传染性的) In a Swedish study, subjects were shown pictures of several emotions: joy, anger and surprise. When the picture of someone smiling was presented, the researchers asked the subjects to frown. Instead, they found that the facial expressions went directly to what subjects saw. __10__. If they don't, they're making a conscious effort not to.
A. How Smiling Affects Those Around You
B. Each time you smile, you throw a little feel good party in your brain
C. So if you're smiling at someone, it's likely that they can't help but smile back
D. And it can even lengthen our lives

G. This suggests that when you view a person smiling, you actually feel rewarded

__15__ This is another way to show that you're a good team member. Step up to lead a project, knock out a backlog of unfinished tasks, or complete a side project. Then, complete the extra work as quickly as possible.

Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. __2__， and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
__3__. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.
Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. __4__. Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.

__6__， if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living？”， you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're talking to. __7__， it can bring in “I have this old, broken down vehicle.” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation.
__8__？ If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台). If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. __9__．
And what about that other dinner party killer: awkward silence If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬). __10__.

__12__ However, for the same reason, music can be very beneficial if one is in pain.By distracting(分心) the mind from the pain, music, people say, can lower stress and anxiety levels. This, of course, can lead to less pain.
Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed. __13__ While the validity of the idea is still being assessed, the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure. Similarly, according to researchers, listening to just 30 minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels, through the lowering of stress and anxiety.
When it comes to heart health, there is speculation(推测) that it's not the style of music, but rather the tempo that makes it so good for your heart health. In one European study, participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure. __14__ On the other hand, when the music slowed, the participants' stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit.
__15__ But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for, which is what makes music so valuable.

Passage 1
1—5 BAGFD
1. B 空处上文“So what to do with all those perfectly good but you're maybe a little sick of them clothes piled on your bedroom floor？”提出关于如何解决旧衣物的问题。下文“It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.”提到了具体处理旧衣物的方法。所以空处应承上启下，提出一种处理旧衣物的好方法。B项“Hold a clothing swap”给出了一种处理旧衣物的方法，承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
2. A 空处上文“Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection.”说明了应该邀请的人数。下文“and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.”说明多于或少于一定数量的人数将会导致一些麻烦。所以空处应是针对下文中的“more than that”提出的相反的假设，即少于一定数量的人。A项“Less people than that”提出一种假设，和下文中“more than that”相对，说明人数不宜太多，也不能太少，符合语境。故选A。
3. G 空处下文“They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their ‘new’ clothes home.”说明去的时候应该为交换所得的“新衣服”准备袋子。G项“Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition”说明去参加衣物交换的时候应该带完好的衣服，其中的“bring”和下文中“carry”相对，都是为交换衣物所做的准备。下文中的“also”也是提示词，并且其中的“They”指代G项中的“everyone”，符合语境。故选G。
4. F 空处上文“Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.”指出衣服应该归类放置。下文“Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.”提到了放置镜子的意义。由此可见，本段讲述的是房间里的一些具体的布置，所以空处一样要提出人们在房间里要做什么。F项“Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots”说明每个人应该按照类型把衣服摆放在相应的位置，符合语境。故选F。
5. D 空处上文“Set a starting time. Maybe you say ‘go’， or turn on a certain song, or whatever.”说明打开音乐或者其他什么，意味着聚会的开始。下文“And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party！”说明聚会上应该提供一些派对该有的服务。因而，空白处应是承接上文，讲述聚会期间要保持应有的内容。D项“Just keep music playing throughout”承上启下，说明在派对上要有音乐，与前文形成意义上的一致，符合题意。故选D。
Passage 2
6—10 BCFEG

B 根据空处上文“it's not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party”可知，空处应主要讲述如何在晚宴上让自己变得有趣。根据下文“So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.”可知，本段主要说明想在晚宴上让自己变得有趣，就要勇于冒险，勇于探索。因此，B项“The first step is to go exploring”承上启下，符合题意。故选B。
7. C 根据空处下文“it can bring in ‘I have this old, broken down vehicle.’ or ‘I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.’ It just opens up conversation.”可知，空处应该是表明一个不太好的问题，只是开启交流，但并不会给人留下有趣的印象。因此，C项“If you ask the question ‘How did you get here？’”能够承接下文，符合题意。故选C。
8. F 根据空处下文“If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台). If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.”可知，此处指出了一个问题的解决办法。由此推知，空处应是提到了一个棘手的问题。F项“What about the person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talking”正是提出的问题，引出下文的解决办法，符合题意。故选F。
9. E 根据空处上文“If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台). If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.”可知，本段主要是为解决“喝太多酒或一直说个不停”这个问题提供方法。由此可知，E项“Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say”是提出的另一个解决办法，承接上文，符合题意。故选E。
10. G 根据空处上文“If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬).”可知，此处指出赞美主人可以缓解尴尬的沉默，以及下文“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”对主人进行了赞美。由此可知，宴会上出现尴尬的沉默时，最尴尬的就是主人，所以需要赞美主人来缓解尴尬。G项“He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most”承上启下，符合题意。故选G。
Passage 3
11—15 FBDGE

12. B 根据空处下文“However, for the same reason, music can be very beneficial if one is in pain.”可知，However表转折，因此空处为对音乐的负面评价。B项“Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud.”中的“harmful”就是负面评价，因此B项切合题意。故选B。
13. D 根据空处上文“Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed.”可知，多数人喜欢在睡前听些轻松的音乐。D项“They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep.”中的“sleep”和“going to bed”相呼应，因此D项切合题意。故选D。

Swap, Don't Shop!

So what to do with all those perfectly good but you're maybe a little sick of them clothes piled on your bedroom floor __1__. It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. __2__， and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
__3__. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.
Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. __4__. Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.

__6__， if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living？”， you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're talking to. __7__， it can bring in “I have this old, broken down vehicle.” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation.
__8__？ If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台). If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. __9__．
And what about that other dinner party killer: awkward silence If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬). __10__.

__12__ However, for the same reason, music can be very beneficial if one is in pain.By distracting(分心) the mind from the pain, music, people say, can lower stress and anxiety levels. This, of course, can lead to less pain.
Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed. __13__ While the validity of the idea is still being assessed, the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure. Similarly, according to researchers, listening to just 30 minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels, through the lowering of stress and anxiety.
When it comes to heart health, there is speculation(推测) that it's not the style of music, but rather the tempo that makes it so good for your heart health. In one European study, participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure. __14__ On the other hand, when the music slowed, the participants' stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit.
__15__ But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for, which is what makes music so valuable.
A. This feeling can also result in many other health problems.
B. Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud.
C. This idea is a little off the wall but still has scientific backing.
D. They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep.
E. The implications of music on overall well being are really impressive.

一、
Passage 1
1—5 BAGFD
1. B 空处上文“So what to do with all those perfectly good but you're maybe a little sick of them clothes piled on your bedroom floor？”提出关于如何解决旧衣物的问题。下文“It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.”提到了具体处理旧衣物的方法。所以空处应承上启下，提出一种处理旧衣物的好方法。B项“Hold a clothing swap”给出了一种处理旧衣物的方法，承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
2. A 空处上文“Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection.”说明了应该邀请的人数。下文“and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.”说明多于或少于一定数量的人数将会导致一些麻烦。所以空处应是针对下文中的“more than that”提出的相反的假设，即少于一定数量的人。A项“Less people than that”提出一种假设，和下文中“more than that”相对，说明人数不宜太多，也不能太少，符合语境。故选A。
3. G 空处下文“They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their ‘new’ clothes home.”说明去的时候应该为交换所得的“新衣服”准备袋子。G项“Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition”说明去参加衣物交换的时候应该带完好的衣服，其中的“bring”和下文中“carry”相对，都是为交换衣物所做的准备。下文中的“also”也是提示词，并且其中的“They”指代G项中的“everyone”，符合语境。故选G。
4. F 空处上文“Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.”指出衣服应该归类放置。下文“Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.”提到了放置镜子的意义。由此可见，本段讲述的是房间里的一些具体的布置，所以空处一样要提出人们在房间里要做什么。F项“Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots”说明每个人应该按照类型把衣服摆放在相应的位置，符合语境。故选F。
5. D 空处上文“Set a starting time. Maybe you say ‘go’， or turn on a certain song, or whatever.”说明打开音乐或者其他什么，意味着聚会的开始。下文“And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party！”说明聚会上应该提供一些派对该有的服务。因而，空白处应是承接上文，讲述聚会期间要保持应有的内容。D项“Just keep music playing throughout”承上启下，说明在派对上要有音乐，与前文形成意义上的一致，符合题意。故选D。
Passage 2
6—10 BCFEG
6. B 根据空处上文“it's not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party”可知，空处应主要讲述如何在晚宴上让自己变得有趣。根据下文“So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.”可知，本段主要说明想在晚宴上让自己变得有趣，就要勇于冒险，勇于探索。因此，B项“The first step is to go exploring”承上启下，符合题意。故选B。
7. C 根据空处下文“it can bring in ‘I have this old, broken down vehicle.’ or ‘I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.’ It just opens up conversation.”可知，空处应该是表明一个不太好的问题，只是开启交流，但并不会给人留下有趣的印象。因此，C项“If you ask the question ‘How did you get here？’”能够承接下文，符合题意。故选C。
8. F 根据空处下文“If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台). If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.”可知，此处指出了一个问题的解决办法。由此推知，空处应是提到了一个棘手的问题。F项“What about the person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talking”正是提出的问题，引出下文的解决办法，符合题意。故选F。
9. E 根据空处上文“If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台). If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.”可知，本段主要是为解决“喝太多酒或一直说个不停”这个问题提供方法。由此可知，E项“Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say”是提出的另一个解决办法，承接上文，符合题意。故选E。
10. G 根据空处上文“If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬).”可知，此处指出赞美主人可以缓解尴尬的沉默，以及下文“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”对主人进行了赞美。由此可知，宴会上出现尴尬的沉默时，最尴尬的就是主人，所以需要赞美主人来缓解尴尬。G项“He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most”承上启下，符合题意。故选G。
Passage 3
