13．本段第一句“Comfort comes from the fact that those with math anxiety are not necessarily to be bad at math.(有数学焦虑症的人并不一定数学不好，这一点让人感到宽慰)”说明宽慰来自于一个事实，也就是那些有数学焦虑的小孩并不一定不擅长数学，C选项“If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math.(如果一个孩子有数学焦虑症，不要认为他们不擅长数学)”承接上文，符合语境，故选C。

(塑料的一个主要问题是，随着时间的推移，它会分解，所以最终需要扔掉。它也不会增加土壤的养分或腐殖质。)”可知，这里开始讲塑料带来的问题。所以选择项B“And plastic also can block air from reaching the soil. (塑料还可以阻止空气到达土壤。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。

(你是否挖你的土壤也会影响杂草的生长。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
20．根据前句“Using any or all of these methods will not permanently stop weed growth.(使用任何一种或所有这些方法都不会永久阻止杂草的生长。)”可知，使用以上任意一个方法都不能永远杜绝杂草的生长，E项说我们的目标只是想限制它们的发展，顺承了上句的语义，也呼应了首段最后一句。所以选择项E“Instead, your goal is simply to limit their growth in the garden. (相反，你的目标只是限制它们在花园里的生长。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
