第三步：锁定最佳答案。结合下文内容知道本段主题是选择活动而不是绿色旅游。因此答案是B。
题型三 标题句是陈述句
考例4 (2023 甘肃省庆阳期中)38题
What’s Really Green
Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment, and the majority of us take steps to save energy. and reduce waste and pollution. But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. Here are some common ones.
Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
…
38
It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. 39 Unfortunately, it is not that simple. It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. In some cases, local food might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than food grown a long way away, even taking into account its transport.
It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
…
A. So say no to plastic bags.
B. Here are some common ones.
C. Unfortunately, it is not that simple.
D. Eating local food is good for the environment.
E. The process also produces more greenhouse gases.
F. It’s time that we should take some measures to protect our environment.
G. It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is.
38 答题思路：
第一步：观察标题特征。结合上下文发现同类小标题都是陈述句开头，只能排除A选项。
第二步：寻找关键信息。设空句为该部分标题句，后文对其起到解释说明的作用，因此根据后文“It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport.(这似乎是常识：吃当地食物应该对环境更好，因为它不需要长途运输，也不需要在运输过程中冷藏。)”可推知，该部分的误区常识为“吃当地食物是环保的”。选项D “Eating local food is good for the environment. (吃当地食物对环境有好处。)”符合分析。
第三步：锁定最佳答案。本段反复性提到多吃本地产食物是绿色消费保护环境的有效途径。故选D项。

1.（2023年全国甲卷）
Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person
Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common There’s one answer. 36 .
In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
●Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. 37 . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
● Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. 38 . Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.
● 39 标题句.
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “ 40 .” You’ll then gradually become more patient.
A. Find your causes
B. Start with small tasks
C. Accept the uncomfortable

F. This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G. They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience
【答案】36. G 37. E 38. B 39. C 40. F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了变得耐心的一些方法。
36.根据上文“Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common There’s one answer. (这里有一个谜语：交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期开始有什么共同之处？答案只有一个)”可知，本句说明上文谜语的答案，结合“交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期”这些情况可知都需要耐心。故G选项“在这些情况下，我们都需要一点额外的耐心”符合语境，故选G。
37.根据上文“Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.(感恩有很多好处：研究表明，感恩让我们更快乐，压力更小，甚至更乐观)”以及后文““Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. (加州大学的研究员叶丽说：“表达感激可以培养自我控制能力。”)”可知，上文提到了感恩的诸多好处，可知本句继续说明感恩的好处：它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心。E选项中It指代上文Thankfulness。故E选项“它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心”符合语境，故选E。
38.根据上文“And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. (我们养成等待习惯的唯一方法就是练习)”以及后文“Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. (把你最喜欢的节目推迟到周末再看，或者多等10分钟再去吃蛋糕)”可知，后文列举的事情都是日常的小事，说明要从小事开始练习等待，故B选项“从小任务开始”符合语境，故选B。
39.根据本段内容“So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. (我们中的许多人都认为舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态，当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时，我们会对环境失去耐心)”可知，本段提到了舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态，结合前文的小标题都是祈使句可知，本段的主旨与接受不舒适相关，C选项中uncomfortable对应后文comfortable。故C选项“接受不舒服”符合语境，故选C。
40.根据上文“You should learn to say to yourself (你应该学会对自己说……)”以及后文“You’ll then gradually become more patient. (然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心)”结合本段主要说明的是不舒服的状态，可知，本句为对自己所说的话与接受不舒服相关，故F选项“这仅仅是不舒服，而不是无法忍受”符合语境，故选F。
2.（2023年全国乙卷）
Friendship needs care and attention to keep it in good health. Here are five ways to sustain (保持) long-distance friendships.

· 39 标题句
Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends’ birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you.

G. You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind
36-40 DBGAF
【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了五种维系异地友谊的方法。
36. D。上文“With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge.”（平日繁忙，很难抽出时间打电话。）讲的是双方都很忙碌，很难有时间给对方打电话，D项“尽量找个双方都有空的时间去打电话，并坚持下去”给出了解决没时间打电话这个问题的方法，符合题意。故选D。
37. B。上文“Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both.”（确保你已经与你的朋友沟通过，了解你们彼此希望联系的次数，以及哪种沟通方式最适合你们两人。）提到异地朋友之间要商量沟通方式，B项“可以通过写信补偿”提出了其中一种沟通方式：写信，下文“There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.”（除了不断的文字交流，还有其他方式，比如发语音或者组建群聊。）补充了发语音等其他沟通方式，其中“constant written communication”呼应了B项的“writing letters”。故选B。
38. G。下文“The friend who is remaining”（留下来的朋友）和“The one in the new environment”（在新环境中的那个）提到朋友的两个不同处境，G项“你可能是朋友中离开的那一方，也可能是被留下的那一方”指出了异地友谊中分为离开的一方和留下的一方，其中“the friend who left”和“the one who was left behind”分别对应下文“The one in the new environment”和“The friend who is remaining”，所以G项符合题意。故选G。
39. A。分析文章结构可知，设空处的内容是维系异地友谊的第四个方法，是第五段的小标题。下文“Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships.”（周年纪念日和生日对于异地友谊而言是非常重要的。）讲的是诸如周年纪念日和生日等重要的日子对于维系异地友谊是非常重要的，由此推知，这段对应的维系异地友谊的方法是A项“记得重要的日子”，所以A项符合题意。故选A。
40. F。设空处所在句子的后半句“but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain.”（但是异地友谊——甚至是关系亲密的友谊——可能需要更加自觉地去维系。）讲的是我们要更加自觉地维系异地友谊，其中“but”说明后半句与设空处形成转折，而F项“朋友之间很容易通过社交媒体产生一种联结感”讲的是可以通过社交媒体这种方式很容易与朋友产生联结，与后半句“require more conscious effort to sustain”形成转折，而且其中的“social media”呼应了该段的小标题“Don’t rely on technology alone”（不要仅仅依赖技术）中的“technology”。故选F。

◆本文是说明文。作者给出了既可以充分利用时间又可以快乐放松的有效建议。
31. 上文“I have the same 24 hours in a day as you do, but 1 have made specific choice that allow me to make the most of every day and still feel happy and relaxed.( 我和你一样，每天都有24小时，但我做了具体的选择，让我充分利用每一天，仍然感到快乐和放松)”说明作者做出选择，充分利用每一天，但仍旧感到快乐和轻松，根据下文段落小标题可知，下文就如何充分利用每一天给出了建议，因此空格处应是承上启下，F项中的“help you make the most of your time”与上文“to make the most of every day”一致，“tips”引出下文的建议，因此F项“也许这些建议会帮助你充分利用你的时间”符合语境，承上启下。故选F。
32. 根据段落标题“Pick the most important.”可知，本段建议挑选最重要的，下文“Focus on spending time that for you is fun and productive.( 把时间花在那些对你来说有趣和富有成效的事情上)”说明要挑选一些有趣的和富有成效的事情去做，D项中的“what is meaningful in your life”与标题中的“the most important”一致，下文是对“Make choices”具体解释。因此推断D项“选择你生活中有意义的东西”符合语境。故选D。
33. 上文“Many people go crazy trying to figure out how to spend time with friends, family, work, play, etc.( 许多人疯狂地试图弄清楚如何在朋友，家庭，工作，娱乐等方面度过时间)”说明许多人想要弄清楚在生活中如何分配好时间，下文“Find ways to enjoy them in a combined manner.( 找到一种结合的方式来享受它们)”说明可以把事情组合在一起享受，因此推断空格处与上文是转折关系，说明不要试图均衡时间，C项“不要试图在它们之间平衡时间”符合语境。故选C。
34. 空格处为段落小标题。根据下文“You would think learning takes more time from you, but actually there are always new ways of doing things that can save you time on daily tasks, freeing you up for the most important. Always be looking for a new way to gain back an hour here or there. Always be looking for a new way to gain back an hour here or there. (你可能会认为学习需要花费了你更多的时间，但实际上总有一些新的方法可以为你节省出做日常事务的时间，为你腾出时间去做最重要的事情。寻找在这里或者那里赢回一个小时的新方法)”可推断，本段讲述学习虽然花费很多时间，但总是能有一些方法为你节省时间做其他事情，因此要做有效的学习者。因此推断B项“做有效的学习者”为段落标题，故选B。
35. 下文“Every completion is a small victory that adds up in a big way.( 每一次的完成都是一个小的胜利，累积起来就是一个大的胜利)”说明事情要一件一件去做，G项中的“making lists”与之呼应，因此推断G项“这就是为什么列清单在任何生产手册中都很重要的原因”符合语境，this指代上文“The world won't come to an end in most cases just because you left a few things undone. Celebrate progress and keep refining (改进) toward a happy productive existence.( 在大多数情况下，世界不会因为你没做完几件事而走向末日。庆祝进步，不断改进走向一个快乐而富有成效的存在)”解释了列出清单一件一件完成任务的原因。故选G。
4.（2011年辽宁卷）
Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. 71 Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1. 72 标题句
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 73 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
2. Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 74
3. Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 75 Or go dancing with your friends.
A. Focus on the future.
B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C. It should be something like learning gardening.
D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.
F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.
【答案】71. F 72. A 73. E 74. G 75. C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几种方法来让你的大脑保持敏捷灵活。
71. 考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前一句的意思是：每个人都很健忘，但是随着我们慢慢变老，我们开始感觉大脑好像很迟缓了，并且这样的情况很让人心烦？空后一句的意思是：看看下面这些值得一时的建议吧。所以选F，这里这是一个过渡句，承上启下（幸运的是，研究表明你可以做很多事来预防这样的时刻。）承上启下，与前后一致。
72. 考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据本段的叙述我们可以看出，这里是在说有目标，向未来看的人对于预防老年痴呆是很有好处的。再结合本段的最后一句话“In other words, keep your brain looking forward” 可知，这里是在建议我们向前看。所以选择答案A，聚焦未来，与文意相符。
73. 考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前提到研究表明有计划可以降低一般得老年痴呆症的几率，空后提到：一些类似于和朋友约每周喝咖啡这样的小事儿就可以。所以选E项（如果你的计划里没有改变生活的事情也别担心。）与后文的叙述一致。故选E。
74. 考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前提到，身体锻炼能够产生对大脑好的化学物质。所以选G（换句话说，当你照顾身体的时候，你就是在照顾你的大脑。）前后意思一致。
75. 考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据本段的中心内容，和空前提到：对于大脑最好的就是你学一些新的东西并且同时身体保持活跃。空后提到：和朋友学习园艺。可知，选C（可以是想跳舞这样的事情。）与前后文意思一致。

Perform Stand-up Comedy
Stand-up is a type of comedy in which someone performs a series of jokes in front of a live audience. You can create a stand-up comedy act to perform for family and friends or at a school or community talent show. 31 Here are some tips to help you get started.
Write your material.
To begin writing jokes, start brainstorming topics. Many comedians talk about their personal experiences or make humorous observations about popular topics like sports or movies. 32 For example, your friends would probably understand your funny observations about middle school, but your family may not. When you have an idea for a joke, approach it like writing a short essay. It should have a beginning that attracts the listener, followed by a middle that sets up characters or provides information people need to know to understand the joke.
Pull everything together.
Once you have several jokes written, you can add them to a stand-up routine, called a “set”. A set can be anywhere from a few minutes to more than an hour, but for beginners it’s best to keep it short. 33 Between jokes, include transitions to help link one story to the next. You should conclude with a strong “closer”, one last joke that will leave your audience laughing.
_ 34 标题句
Once you’ve created your set, it’s time to practice. You can perform in front of a mirror or record yourself and play it back. This will help you see how long your set is and where you might make change. Next, perform in front of a friend or family member who can help you see what people laugh at the most or tell you if any of your jokes are confusing. 35
When you’re ready to perform, remember to take a few deep breaths. Then relax, be yourself, and have fun!
A. Plan a performance
B. Perfect your routine
C. Take notes and make changes as necessary.
D. Open your set with a joke that will get your audience laughing.
E. It can easily meet with a favourable response from the audience.
F. Think about who your audience will be and what will be relatable to them.
G. Once you feel comfortable with your stand-up material, it’s time to perform!
31. E 32. F 33. D 34. B 35. C

Moving your body regularly and often is a key to good health. But for people who don’t feel the urge to exercise, sitting can become a habit that hurts the body and the brain. Here are some easy tips that will invite more movement into your routines.
Budget in some mobile breaks.
41 For example, for every hour that you’re sitting, you might expect yourself to get up for 10 minutes and move around. Schools and workplaces can be creative about building those breaks into the day.
Give yourself prompts (提示).
Are you forgetting to get up 42 Let it remind you to “break up” an hour of sitting with short breaks for something simple, says Aaron Kandola at University College London. For example, you might use the short break to empty the dishwasher or pick up the dog’s toys.

3. 根据本段的内容““If it’s nice weather, you should surely get out for a walk,” says Tatiana Warren of Just TATI in Baltimore. If the weather is bad, plan for other options. You can dance around the room or jog in place a bit. ”（巴尔的摩Just TATI的塔蒂亚娜 沃伦(Tatiana Warren)表示: “如果天气不错，你肯定应该出去散散步。”如果天气不好，计划其他选择。你可以在房间里跳舞或者原地慢跑。）可知，本段主要讲述在现有的条件下尽可能运动，故B项“ 利用你所拥有的。”符合本段主题。故选B。

Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
…
38
It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. 39 Unfortunately, it is not that simple. It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. In some cases, local food might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than food grown a long way away, even taking into account its transport.
It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
…
A. So say no to plastic bags.
B. Here are some common ones.
C. Unfortunately, it is not that simple.
D. Eating local food is good for the environment.
E. The process also produces more greenhouse gases.
F. It’s time that we should take some measures to protect our environment.

第二步：寻找关键信息。设空句为该部分标题句，后文对其起到解释说明的作用，因此根据后文“It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport.(这似乎是常识：吃当地食物应该对环境更好，因为它不需要长途运输，也不需要在运输过程中冷藏。)”可推知，该部分的误区常识为“吃当地食物是环保的”。选项D “Eating local food is good for the environment. (吃当地食物对环境有好处。)”符合分析。
第三步：锁定最佳答案。本段反复性提到多吃本地产食物是绿色消费保护环境的有效途径。故选D项。

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. 71 Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1. 72 标题句
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 73 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.

Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind.

Trying new things in different ways can help the brain cells form new connections as well as maintain current ones. 13 Making changes can be as small as reading a new book or taking a different route home from work.These changes exercise your brain and keep your mental fitness sharp.
Stay positive
14 Positive thoughts and feelings seem impossible to cultivate on your own, but your brain is much more capable than you think. With practice, you can push away all negative thoughts and feelings and allow yourself to be more confident and content.

Perform Stand-up Comedy
Stand-up is a type of comedy in which someone performs a series of jokes in front of a live audience. You can create a stand-up comedy act to perform for family and friends or at a school or community talent show. 31 Here are some tips to help you get started.
Write your material.
To begin writing jokes, start brainstorming topics. Many comedians talk about their personal experiences or make humorous observations about popular topics like sports or movies. 32 For example, your friends would probably understand your funny observations about middle school, but your family may not. When you have an idea for a joke, approach it like writing a short essay. It should have a beginning that attracts the listener, followed by a middle that sets up characters or provides information people need to know to understand the joke.
Pull everything together.
Once you have several jokes written, you can add them to a stand-up routine, called a “set”. A set can be anywhere from a few minutes to more than an hour, but for beginners it’s best to keep it short. 33 Between jokes, include transitions to help link one story to the next. You should conclude with a strong “closer”, one last joke that will leave your audience laughing.
_ 34 标题句
Once you’ve created your set, it’s time to practice. You can perform in front of a mirror or record yourself and play it back. This will help you see how long your set is and where you might make change. Next, perform in front of a friend or family member who can help you see what people laugh at the most or tell you if any of your jokes are confusing. 35
When you’re ready to perform, remember to take a few deep breaths. Then relax, be yourself, and have fun!
A. Plan a performance
B. Perfect your routine
C. Take notes and make changes as necessary.
D. Open your set with a joke that will get your audience laughing.
E. It can easily meet with a favourable response from the audience.
F. Think about who your audience will be and what will be relatable to them.
G. Once you feel comfortable with your stand-up material, it’s time to perform!

Moving your body regularly and often is a key to good health. But for people who don’t feel the urge to exercise, sitting can become a habit that hurts the body and the brain. Here are some easy tips that will invite more movement into your routines.
Budget in some mobile breaks.
41 For example, for every hour that you’re sitting, you might expect yourself to get up for 10 minutes and move around. Schools and workplaces can be creative about building those breaks into the day.
Give yourself prompts (提示).
Are you forgetting to get up 42 Let it remind you to “break up” an hour of sitting with short breaks for something simple, says Aaron Kandola at University College London. For example, you might use the short break to empty the dishwasher or pick up the dog’s toys.

“If it’s nice weather, you should surely get out for a walk,” says Tatiana Warren of Just TATI in Baltimore. If the weather is bad, plan for other options.

Use the partner system.
Work with friends to remind each other to stand up and stretch. Or remind each other to stand when you’re on the phone. Get your family involved, too. Warren says her cousins’ family likes to play board games. But they often stand to reach for something or even jump during the games. 45

Five misunderstandings about loneliness
At some point in our lives, the chances are that you and I will feel lonely. It’s a problem that’s getting a lot of attention. It’s an important topic and one that causes a lot of misery, but there are plenty of misunderstandings surrounding it.
_ 21 标题句
Feeling lonely is not the same as being alone. Loneliness is a sense that no one around you really understands you and that you don’t have the kind of meaningful connections you would like. Sometimes we want to be alone. But if we don’t have the choice to spend time with people who understand us, that’s when loneliness strikes.
There’s an epidemic(流行) of loneliness at the moment.
Loneliness is undoubtedly getting more common. 22 It is true that the actual number of lonely people are rising simply because there are more people in the world.
Loneliness is always bad.
Loneliness hurts. But it shouldn’t be seen as entirely negative. 23 . Or it can be a sign to find a way of improving our existing relationships.
Loneliness leads to ill health.
24 But it could also happen the other way around. People could become isolated and lonely because they already have poor health, which stops them from socialising.
Most older people are lonely.
Loneliness is more common in old age than in other adults, but in her review of loneliness across the lifespan, Pamela Qualter found there is also a peak in teenage years. 25
A. Loneliness can be horrible.
B. Loneliness is all about isolation(孤立).
C. Instead, it can be the signal to us to look for new friends.
D. Generally speaking, it’s harder for old people to overcome loneliness.
E. But that doesn’t mean that a higher percentage of people feel lonely now.
F. It is possible that unhappily isolated people are more likely to become ill.
G. Meanwhile, studies show that 50-60% of older people are not often lonely.

Being honest may not get you a lot of friends, but it will get you the right ones. That’s true, so you should pursue authentic positivity in your friendships, the opposite of toxic (有毒的) positivity that would have you encouraging friends in all things, regardless of what you might feel or observe or know about the challenges of life. 31
1. Ask questions.
A feature of authentic positivity is a curious mindset, a mentality where you are less locked into “telling it like it is” and more interested in wondering and exploring the possibilities together with your friend. 32 If your friendship has a history of welcome advice-giving, your question could be “Are you looking for ideas, or do you just want me to listen ”
2. _ 33 标题句
“That’s so disappointing” is sometimes the most positive thing you can say to your friend when they are struggling. Resisting the urge to say “It’s all going to work out; don’t worry” shows your friend that you see them in their pain, and that you are available to support them here and now. 34 You can use “yes/and” statements like “What happened at work is so frustrating—AND I know how creative you are, so you’ll find a way to move forward.”
3. Learn to apologize —and ask for an apology.
35 That includes you, too. Being authentic in a friendship means having the freedom to say to a friend, “I’m sorry I hurt you.” It also means being able to say, “Your words/ actions hurt me.” Friendships that stand the test of time have room for mistakes, and for repair.
A. Name hard truths.
B. Don’t disappoint your friend.
C. Every friend misses the mark sometimes.
D. Instead, friends should be authentic and positive.
E. Here are three ways to be an authentically positive friend.
F. But that doesn’t mean you need to focus on the negative all the time.
G. Positive friends ask each other questions, and listen deeply to the answers.

How Not to Be Awkward
Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm. Many among us are shy and may even feel kept apart from others. This usually happens when a person is still in his or her teen years and going through the socialization process. 36 Let’s try to find answers to the questions.
Stay in shape and dress up well
Sometimes, awkwardness could be due to being overweight. When you are large in size, you tend to get very self-conscious So, in order to avoid this, get into the habit of exercising every day 37 If you look as if you have just stepped out of a 1980’s film when actually it is 2011, there is no doubt that you are bound to feel awkward about yourself.
Be optimistic
Another effective tip on how not to feel awkward is to always keep a smile on your face. 38 On the other hand, a smiling, happy and positive think person is appreciated by everybody So, smile when you meet acquaintances or even strangers, say a cheerful “Hi” and automatically some of your awkwardness will disappear completely!
_ 39 标题句
This one really helps. Awkwardness generally develops when a person remains isolated from others. So, in order to change this situation, join groups For instance, if you are a reading lover, join a book club. Joining people in book reading sessions as well as debates will help remove your awkwardness. Choose any activity of your choice, such as playing team sports or joining a dance class, and soon you will find your comfort level around people increasing day by day!
Develop your personality
Being a book-worm or an Internet addict will not get you anywhere. For self-improvement, take up a hobby that adds meaning to your life. Learn singing or try adventure sports. 40
A. Participate in Team Activities.
B. Learn how to end a conversation.
C. Secondly, have appropriate clothes on.
D. If you look sad, nobody will actually like being with you.
E. Something as simple as listening to music will do wonders too.
F. So, what can a person do to overcome this tendency to be awkward
G. Awkwardness could be because you do not have anything in common to talk about.

I believe in daydreaming now and then—especially when I’m hiking. Being in nature allows my mind to wander where it will, which often starts my creativity as a writer and musician. Now some new science suggests that daydreaming may actually make us happier and more creative. 41
Daydreaming may be good for creativity
Mind—wandering has been associated with creativity for centuries. A study found that people who mind—wandered performed better on their task, the answer coming to them in a flash. 42 —it was just suddenly there.
When people’s minds wander in ways that seem meaningful to them, they tend to have more creative ideas and feel more inspired at the end of the day, too. Interestingly, this is true for both writers and everyday people.
_ 43 标题句
Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind—wandering can actually improve your mood. In this study, the researchers found that when people’s thoughts were off—task, they generally felt more negative. But if their thoughts were free—moving. It had the opposite effect, helping people feel happier.
44 . If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I’m happier because of it.
Can we be better mind—wanderers
Researchers warn that mind—wandering when you need to be focused on a task could cause problems. So, let your mind wander when you’re doing tasks that don’t require focus. 45 .
So, just having more control over when mind—wandering happens and the kind of thoughts that you have would be very useful.
A. The key is that we do it the right way.
B. Mind—wandering can help boost our mood.
C. I find that science supports my own experience.
D. Taking a break might be good for our productivity
E. People didn’t even know how they got to the solution
F. I hope people will explore the limits of mind—wandering
G. This may help you feel better or come up with creative ideas

Sometimes we make meditation(冥想) more complicated than it needs to be. Instead of overthinking it, follow the steps below to set yourself up for success:
●Find Your Motivation
As with any new habit, it’s important to understand your motivation for getting started. I meditate because I feel like it makes me a calmer person during the day. 36 . Whatever your motivation is, get clear on it and come back to it often.
●Choose Your Tools
When you have the right tools, meditation can feel a lot less daunting. I find guided meditations a lot easier to follow than trying to meditate in silence, but everyone has their own preferences. 37 , I recommend Calm, Headspace, and Insight Timer.
●Create a Meditation Space
Although you can practice meditation anywhere, I find it helpful to have a designated meditation space that feels familiar to you. 38 . You might prefer to lay out a yoga mat in your living room or sit on some pillows in a quiet corner. Find what works for you!
●_ 39 标题句
If you want to start making meditation part of your routine, it’s important to carve out time for it. I’ve found that the only way I can get myself to do it every day is to open up my Calm app right after I wake up. When meditation is the first thing I do, I start my day feeling less anxious.
●Track Your Progress
Both Calm and Headspace have built-in trackers that show you how many days you’ve meditated in a row, and I find this motivating because I never want to break my streak. 40 , you could simply keep track of it in your daily to-do list.
A. Set a Fixed Time
B. Set a Time Limit
C. I choose to meditate upright in bed
D. If you’re not using either of these apps
E. If you’re looking for a good meditation app
F. Perhaps you want to meditate to reduce anxiety
G. If you try meditating for the first time with a 20-minute session

What Your Dog Is Really Thinking
Reading a pup’s body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, considers how to figure out the dogs’ behaviour.
If your dog licks their mouth
They’re stressed. Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. One found that it was a dogs’ response to seeing an angry or aggressive human face on a computer screen. ____16____. If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels. It could be as simple as giving them more physical space.
If there are fireworks and your dog is shaking
The noises are frightening. ____17____. But a surprising number of people don’t realize that shaking and trembling (and hiding or seeking out people) are signs of fear. Whereas only a quarter of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises, half report these behavioural signs.
_ 18 标题句
They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed signs range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. If your dog gets stressed at appointments, ask what can be done. Many vets now use food to make the experience more fun.
If your dog leans into you during a petting session
____19____. If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then watch their reaction. If they choose to wander of, the session is over. Other signs of discomfort include smelling the floor, looking away and breathing heavily. However, if they lean on you or scratch at you to get more hugs, continue! ____20____.
A. They like it
B.They hate it
C. This is a common reaction
D. If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down
E. If your dog looks guilty when you walk in the door and see a mess

Happy people have habits you can introduce into your everyday life. Here are some of them. They surround themselves with other happy people.
Joy can spread. Researchers of the Framingham Heart Study who studied the spread of happiness over 20 years found that those who are surrounded by happy people are more likely to become happy in the future. ____16____
They try to be happy.
Yes. It’s as simple as it sounds. ____17____ According to two studies recently published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, those who actively tried to feel happier in the studies reported the highest level of positive moods(心情), making a case for thinking yourself happy.
They are mindful of the good
____18____ However, happy people give attention to their smaller victories, too. “When we take time to notice the things that go right, it means we’re getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day,” says Susan Weinschenk, a Ph.D.in Psychology.
They devote some of their time to giving.
Even though there are only 24 hours in a day, positive people fill some of that time doing good for others, which, in return, does some good for the do-gooders themselves. A long-term research project called Americans’ Changing Lires found a series of benefits associated with altruism(利他主义).____19____People of all ages who volunteered were happier and experienced better physical health and less depression.
