文档简介
Passage 1
The human brain is the command centre for the nervous system and enables thoughts, memory, movement, and emotions．
1 As the population ages, the challenges for the preservation of brain health increase．It is therefore vital for seniors to understand how to protect it．
Exercise regularly．Regular physical exercise tends to help fight against the natural reduction in brain connections that occur during aging．Multiple studies show that physically active people are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function and have a lower risk of developing brain disease． 2
Have a “right” nap．Having a nap after lunch can be good for your brain and many seniors have developed such a good habit for long． 3 While a 30-min to 90-min nap has brain benefits, anything longer than an hour and a half may create problems with cognition, the ability to think and form memories．
4 Your brain is similar to a muscle—you need to use it or lose it．There are many things that you can do to keep your brain in shape, such as doing crossword puzzles, reading, or playing cards．You can also learn something new such as musical instruments, drawing, or even digital devices．Combine different types of activities to increase the effectiveness．
Eat a Mediterranean diet．Studies show people who closely follow a Mediterranean diet are less likely to have brain disease than people who don't follow the diet． 5 However, we at least know that omega fatty acids found in olive oil and other healthy fats are vital for your cells to function correctly．
A．Stay mentally active．
B．Explore new interests if possible．
C．But keep in mind that the length matters．
D．Your diet plays a large role in your brain health．
E．The benefits result from increased blood circulation．
F．Maintaining a healthy brain is the primary goal in pursuing health．
G．Further research is needed to decide which parts of the diet help brain the most．
Passage 2
Men's sport has for decades benefited from what investors call a “flywheel effect”．Big broadcast and sponsorship deals throw money into the game readily． 1 That, in turn, generates even more money the next time around．
Women's sport has long suffered the opposite phenomenon． 2 With few games available, viewers cannot tune in, and few viewers means little money．
The flywheel may, at last, be starting to turn round． 3 The first quarter of 2022 saw the highest viewership, up by around 50% on 2019, the last full year before the pandemic．Women's sport is resisting a general trend for people to watch less television．Streaming (流媒体), meanwhile, offers a way to show games without expensive deals with broadcasters, helping to build fan bases．
4 Viewership of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) in America rose by 50% in 2021 compared with 2020．In February, the WNBA felt confident, raising $75 million and valuing it at $1 billion．The prize pool for this year's Women's Championship is $16 million, double the value in 2017．
One big change is that several big rights-holders, including FIFA and World Rugby, now sell sponsorship rights for women's events separately, rather than bonded with the men's tournaments． 5
A．Start with viewing figures．
B．Money is starting to follow eyeballs．
C．Many associations fund the women's sports．
D．Some think sponsors get a better deal with women's sports．
E．Broadcasters have unwillingly shown it without being sure that people will watch．
F．That attracts more players and raises the level of play, which helps attract more viewers．
G．That forces buyers and sellers to think about exactly how much such rights might be worth．
Passage 3
“Always wear sunscreen．” “Eat a balanced diet．” “A penny saved is a penny earned．” You probably all learned these lessons as a kid．But chances are, despite knowing these, you still stepped outside without putting on sunscreen, gulped an entire bag of chips in one go or spent more money than you had expected． 1
It's a mistaken idea that knowing is half the battle．In most situations, just knowing something is not nearly enough for you to put it into practice． 2 Behavioral scientists have seen people struggle to save money, to cut back on their expenses, even after they've taken a financial class．People know what they need to do to improve their financial situation—to save more and spend less．They believe that financial security is just a problem that can be taught to solve． 3 America spends nearly 700 million dollars every year on financial education programs, yet researchers have found that these programs explained only 0．1% of the change in financial behavior．
4 If you are struggling, it's not because there's something wrong with you．It's most likely because there is something wrong with how your environment is set up．Look around you．The signals to spend money have got smarter and faster． 5 You can reshape your environment and how you interact with it．
A．How to address that
B．But it is often not the case．
C．So what is the reason for it
D．Information doesn't always change behavior．
E．Behavior change is not educational pursuit but an environmental one．
F．They refer to financial education as a way that can make money for them．
G．Targeted ads are getting more personalized; everything around you is focusing on spending．
Passage 4
It has been proved that self-care helps people lower stress and get healthier．And another interesting finding has been revealed recently． 1 As a typical form of caring about others, volunteering has been proved to be beneficial to us in the following ways．
Volunteering makes us happier．
Throughout history, cooperation and community have been essential parts of human survival．One reason we feel so rewarded when helping others is that the happiness of those around us has taken root in our survival instinct．According to one study, people who volunteered at least once a month reported better mental health than those who didn't． 2
Volunteering increases our sense of purpose．
Typically, the act of volunteering involves taking action and engaging with others．These are two mental health needs shared by most humans, especially people feeling aimless and disconnected． 3 As a result, they can have clearer goals in their own life and increase the sense of responsibility．
Volunteering helps manage depression．
4 That's because taking positive action helps to change the negative thoughts—whether by interacting with other people or realizing you have useful skills to share with the world．Based on that, some researchers even suggest including volunteering as an approach to treating depression．
5
Some researchers have discovered a link between volunteering and a lower risk of early death．This effect comes in part from how volunteering can reduce stress and depression, which in turn promotes life span, improved physical health, and better management of chronic(慢性的) diseases．
A．Volunteering cures many diseases．
B．Volunteering impacts our physical health．
C．Caring attention towards others also improves our health．
D．Volunteering also helps reduce sadness or hopelessness．
E．People who always hold a positive attitude is unlikely to get depressed．
F．Some even said volunteering made them as happy as having an extra $1,100．
G．When volunteering, people learn new skills and develop more social connections．
Passage 5
The road to learning how to take personal responsibility can be a difficult one, but starting simple really works． 1 Here is some advice you need to follow．
●Focus on the basics of your journey．
Just like the ocean, our life has many ups and downs．If you start building a solid sailboat, you can withstand (经受) the weather．The solid boat represents your basic needs: safety, self-esteem (自尊) and connection with others． 2
●Open your sails and be willing to fail．
Do not lay too much stress on the destination．Just head in the right direction． 3 You're supposed to take the courage to really open your sails．When you devote yourself to what you are doing, you will forget about your insecurities and worries．
● 4
As you sail through life, are you making goals and plans, or are you simply letting things happen and watching life pass Working on goal setting enables you to measure your progress and take responsibility for all you have and haven't done to achieve them．
●Live in the moment．
As you're moving through the ocean of your life, are you really concentrating on each present moment, or are your thoughts set on the past and future Do you complain about mistakes others made that forced you into a difficult position 5 Start taking personal responsibility for each thought and emotion that passes through you．
A．Reach your goals．
B．Move forward with intention．
C．Then begin to tackle the more difficult aspects．
D．So check in and make sure that they are being met．
E．Stop blaming others or situations if you really want to enjoy each moment．
F．Everyone can edge closer to that stage through taking personal responsibility．
G．You must enjoy the sail by finding purpose and following that desire to explore．
Passage 6
April is the cruelest month．．．Or so said gloomy poet T．S．Eliot in his long poem, The Wasteland．It seems that he wasn't wrong．SAD(Seasonal Affective Disorder)—otherwise known as the “winter blues”—is a well known condition．But, surprisingly, some people feel more depressed in spring and summer than at other times of the year．The days getting warmer and longer, and the fact that spring flowers and blossom represent new beginnings for some people, just make the spring blues worse for others． 1
What Causes Reverse Sad
Because it's not well understood or often spotted, it's hard to pin down the reasons for feeling down when everyone else seems to be full of the joys of springtime．With winter SAD, less sunlight is thought to disrupt the body's internal clock and bring on depression． 2 You might also be tempted to stay up later, throwing out your body clock．
How Do You Recognize It
3 Do you love the cold and feel much more energized at that time of year, while spring makes you feel much less positive Again, this could be reverse SAD．And it sometimes runs in families, so look around at your nearest and dearest and note how they feel about the advent of warmer, brighter days．
4
Exercise can work wonders．A study found that ten weeks of standard exercise was 20 per cent more effective than medication．And get plenty of sleep．Try to get up at the same time every day, even if you haven't slept well． 5
A．Can Exercise Help Overcome Reverse Sad
B．Can You Shake off the Spring Blues
C．This phenomenon is sometimes called “reverse sad”．
D．The spring blues may have a negative effect on people．
E．Like traditional SAD, spring depression comes back at the same time every year．
F．But if your depression shows no sign of lifting, see your doctor．
G．Reverse SAD, on the other hand, might be caused by too much sunlight．
Passage 7
Earth Day,marked on April 22nd,is the perfect opportunity to think about how we can make the world a better place. 1 —like these small changes you can make to move towards a happier,healthier life that’s also kinder to the planet.
Get outdoors.
Did you know that the average person only spends four hours a week playing outdoors 2 .Why not visit a local park,forest or beach If none of the above is easily accessible to you,explore the woods of your own neighborhood.Just trying an eco-friendly project in gardens like zero-waste-bird-feeding is also a good choice.
3 .
Many people find that connecting to the natural environment makes them happy for a much longer time,compared with crazy shopping,which only brings temporary excitement but,more likely,lasting harm to the planet.
It’s no accident that meditation (冥思) apps and videos are often themed with rain,forests and calming ocean sounds. 4 ,what’s the point of paying to do it online Why not challenge yourself to connect with the earth by simply noticing what’s around you
Save the planet by “plogging”!
Plogging simply means collecting litter as you jog,or walk around your community.Why not host a plogging event of your own 5 .You can also get some great exercise at the same time.Plus,you become more mindful of the trash we throw away every day,and the difference we can make to the earth.
A.Purchase less and connect more
B.Leave your happiness in the wild
C.The following are three good chances
D.You can help clean up your community
E.There are so many ways to get involved
F.We challenge you to get outside on April 22nd
G.Since we can experience them easily outside in nature
Passage 8
Life offers its fair share of challenges.At any given time,anyone can face difficult seasons in their life.It is true for you.When you’re experiencing difficulty,it’s always helpful to have a support system to get through it. 1 Knowing this,there are a few ways you can become supportive of a family member who is in the midst of a struggle.
Offer legal resources.If you have family members who are in trouble with the law,you can offer assistance by pointing in the direction of various legal resources.You can even decide to cover a part of their legal fees in court. 2
Provide encouragement.When people are down on their luck,it’s really easy for them to get discouraged and give up.Instead,it’s a wise move to offer words of encouragement to the person.Always remind them that they’re strong,capable and more powerful than they realize. 3
Be a safe place.Sometimes,people struggle because they don’t feel any love or support from anyone around them. 4 Be their light in the dark places.This can do so much for someone who is carrying a lot on the inside.
5 You never want to make a person feel like they can’t make it without you in their life.If you’re allowing the family member to live with you for a certain period of time,be strict about what needs to happen during that time.Make sure that they develop a plan,a time line and measured action steps that can help them get back on their feet.
A.No man is an island.
B.Encourage independence.
C.In fact,they are surrounded by pressure.
D.Always compete with your family members.
E.Tell them that they will get through this situation.
F.It’s all up to you to decide how you can help them.
G.However,you know that there’s nothing you can do.
Passage 9
If anyone has ever told you to “open up more” or “show some emotion”,you may wonder what they really meant.It’s easy for us to get caught up in our own little worlds and hide what we’re feeling from other people. 1 .But if you can open up more to others,you’ll see how rewarding it is to connect on a deeper level.
2 .Relax and think through your feelings as they come to you.Whenever you feel something,take a second to sit with what you’re feeling.Think about how you feel and let the emotion wash over you naturally.
Name your emotions as they come to you.Giving your feelings names makes it easier to understand.Once you’re comfortable with a feeling,give the emotion a name.Are you anxious about something If you don’t feel anything particularly moving,are you bored,or content This process will make you more self-aware. 3 .
Maintain a journal for your feelings.One way to help you to open up emotionally to others is to keep a daily journal. 4 .Every day,write down a paragraph or two about your day and how it makes you feel.This will help you track your feelings over time and put you more in tune with yourself.
Engage in fun activities to share experiences with others.Do things you enjoy with people you love to share positive emotions with.Be delicate one night a week to go out and grab dinner with your family. 5 ,or go on a 20-minute walk every day.Being emotionally available and sharing how you feel is a lot easier when you have fun with the people you care about.
A.Push yourself to share every day
B.Take a minute to process emotions
C.Take a cooking class with your partner
D.Open up and get used to sharing how you feel
E.It will also help you express what you’re feeling
F.Treat it as a special space for you to open up and be honest
G.Sometimes,we don’t even realize we’re being guarded or hiding our feelings

4．E 段首题。空处为本段主旨句，下文“If you are struggling, it's not because there's something wrong with you．It's most likely because there is something wrong with how your environment is set up．(如果你在拼搏，那并不是因为你有什么问题。这很可能是因为您的环境设置有问题。)”提到关键词environment，空处也需要提到此关键词。E项“行为改变不是教育追求，而是环境追求。”符合题意。故选E。
5．G 段中题。上文“Look around you．The signals to spend money have got smarter and faster．(看看你周围。花钱的信号已经变得更加智能和快捷。)”从如何存钱转向花钱，空处也需要与花钱有关。G项“定向广告越来越个性化；你周围的一切都在关注消费。”承接上文。故选G。

The human brain is the command centre for the nervous system and enables thoughts, memory, movement, and emotions．
1 As the population ages, the challenges for the preservation of brain health increase．It is therefore vital for seniors to understand how to protect it．
Exercise regularly．Regular physical exercise tends to help fight against the natural reduction in brain connections that occur during aging．Multiple studies show that physically active people are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function and have a lower risk of developing brain disease． 2
Have a “right” nap．Having a nap after lunch can be good for your brain and many seniors have developed such a good habit for long． 3 While a 30-min to 90-min nap has brain benefits, anything longer than an hour and a half may create problems with cognition, the ability to think and form memories．
4 Your brain is similar to a muscle—you need to use it or lose it．There are many things that you can do to keep your brain in shape, such as doing crossword puzzles, reading, or playing cards．You can also learn something new such as musical instruments, drawing, or even digital devices．Combine different types of activities to increase the effectiveness．
Eat a Mediterranean diet．Studies show people who closely follow a Mediterranean diet are less likely to have brain disease than people who don't follow the diet． 5 However, we at least know that omega fatty acids found in olive oil and other healthy fats are vital for your cells to function correctly．
A．Stay mentally active．
B．Explore new interests if possible．
C．But keep in mind that the length matters．
D．Your diet plays a large role in your brain health．
E．The benefits result from increased blood circulation．
F．Maintaining a healthy brain is the primary goal in pursuing health．
G．Further research is needed to decide which parts of the diet help brain the most．
Passage 2
Men's sport has for decades benefited from what investors call a “flywheel effect”．Big broadcast and sponsorship deals throw money into the game readily． 1 That, in turn, generates even more money the next time around．
Women's sport has long suffered the opposite phenomenon． 2 With few games available, viewers cannot tune in, and few viewers means little money．
The flywheel may, at last, be starting to turn round． 3 The first quarter of 2022 saw the highest viewership, up by around 50% on 2019, the last full year before the pandemic．Women's sport is resisting a general trend for people to watch less television．Streaming (流媒体), meanwhile, offers a way to show games without expensive deals with broadcasters, helping to build fan bases．
4 Viewership of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) in America rose by 50% in 2021 compared with 2020．In February, the WNBA felt confident, raising $75 million and valuing it at $1 billion．The prize pool for this year's Women's Championship is $16 million, double the value in 2017．
One big change is that several big rights-holders, including FIFA and World Rugby, now sell sponsorship rights for women's events separately, rather than bonded with the men's tournaments． 5
A．Start with viewing figures．
B．Money is starting to follow eyeballs．
C．Many associations fund the women's sports．
D．Some think sponsors get a better deal with women's sports．
E．Broadcasters have unwillingly shown it without being sure that people will watch．
F．That attracts more players and raises the level of play, which helps attract more viewers．
G．That forces buyers and sellers to think about exactly how much such rights might be worth．
Passage 3
“Always wear sunscreen．” “Eat a balanced diet．” “A penny saved is a penny earned．” You probably all learned these lessons as a kid．But chances are, despite knowing these, you still stepped outside without putting on sunscreen, gulped an entire bag of chips in one go or spent more money than you had expected． 1
It's a mistaken idea that knowing is half the battle．In most situations, just knowing something is not nearly enough for you to put it into practice． 2 Behavioral scientists have seen people struggle to save money, to cut back on their expenses, even after they've taken a financial class．People know what they need to do to improve their financial situation—to save more and spend less．They believe that financial security is just a problem that can be taught to solve． 3 America spends nearly 700 million dollars every year on financial education programs, yet researchers have found that these programs explained only 0．1% of the change in financial behavior．
4 If you are struggling, it's not because there's something wrong with you．It's most likely because there is something wrong with how your environment is set up．Look around you．The signals to spend money have got smarter and faster． 5 You can reshape your environment and how you interact with it．
A．How to address that
B．But it is often not the case．
C．So what is the reason for it
D．Information doesn't always change behavior．
E．Behavior change is not educational pursuit but an environmental one．
F．They refer to financial education as a way that can make money for them．
G．Targeted ads are getting more personalized; everything around you is focusing on spending．
Passage 4
It has been proved that self-care helps people lower stress and get healthier．And another interesting finding has been revealed recently． 1 As a typical form of caring about others, volunteering has been proved to be beneficial to us in the following ways．
Volunteering makes us happier．
Throughout history, cooperation and community have been essential parts of human survival．One reason we feel so rewarded when helping others is that the happiness of those around us has taken root in our survival instinct．According to one study, people who volunteered at least once a month reported better mental health than those who didn't． 2
Volunteering increases our sense of purpose．
Typically, the act of volunteering involves taking action and engaging with others．These are two mental health needs shared by most humans, especially people feeling aimless and disconnected． 3 As a result, they can have clearer goals in their own life and increase the sense of responsibility．
Volunteering helps manage depression．
4 That's because taking positive action helps to change the negative thoughts—whether by interacting with other people or realizing you have useful skills to share with the world．Based on that, some researchers even suggest including volunteering as an approach to treating depression．
5
Some researchers have discovered a link between volunteering and a lower risk of early death．This effect comes in part from how volunteering can reduce stress and depression, which in turn promotes life span, improved physical health, and better management of chronic(慢性的) diseases．
A．Volunteering cures many diseases．
B．Volunteering impacts our physical health．
C．Caring attention towards others also improves our health．
D．Volunteering also helps reduce sadness or hopelessness．
E．People who always hold a positive attitude is unlikely to get depressed．
F．Some even said volunteering made them as happy as having an extra $1,100．
G．When volunteering, people learn new skills and develop more social connections．
Passage 5
The road to learning how to take personal responsibility can be a difficult one, but starting simple really works． 1 Here is some advice you need to follow．
●Focus on the basics of your journey．
Just like the ocean, our life has many ups and downs．If you start building a solid sailboat, you can withstand (经受) the weather．The solid boat represents your basic needs: safety, self-esteem (自尊) and connection with others． 2
●Open your sails and be willing to fail．
Do not lay too much stress on the destination．Just head in the right direction． 3 You're supposed to take the courage to really open your sails．When you devote yourself to what you are doing, you will forget about your insecurities and worries．
● 4
As you sail through life, are you making goals and plans, or are you simply letting things happen and watching life pass Working on goal setting enables you to measure your progress and take responsibility for all you have and haven't done to achieve them．
●Live in the moment．
As you're moving through the ocean of your life, are you really concentrating on each present moment, or are your thoughts set on the past and future Do you complain about mistakes others made that forced you into a difficult position 5 Start taking personal responsibility for each thought and emotion that passes through you．
A．Reach your goals．
B．Move forward with intention．
C．Then begin to tackle the more difficult aspects．
D．So check in and make sure that they are being met．
E．Stop blaming others or situations if you really want to enjoy each moment．
F．Everyone can edge closer to that stage through taking personal responsibility．
G．You must enjoy the sail by finding purpose and following that desire to explore．
Passage 6
April is the cruelest month．．．Or so said gloomy poet T．S．Eliot in his long poem, The Wasteland．It seems that he wasn't wrong．SAD(Seasonal Affective Disorder)—otherwise known as the “winter blues”—is a well known condition．But, surprisingly, some people feel more depressed in spring and summer than at other times of the year．The days getting warmer and longer, and the fact that spring flowers and blossom represent new beginnings for some people, just make the spring blues worse for others． 1
What Causes Reverse Sad
Because it's not well understood or often spotted, it's hard to pin down the reasons for feeling down when everyone else seems to be full of the joys of springtime．With winter SAD, less sunlight is thought to disrupt the body's internal clock and bring on depression． 2 You might also be tempted to stay up later, throwing out your body clock．
How Do You Recognize It
3 Do you love the cold and feel much more energized at that time of year, while spring makes you feel much less positive Again, this could be reverse SAD．And it sometimes runs in families, so look around at your nearest and dearest and note how they feel about the advent of warmer, brighter days．
4
Exercise can work wonders．A study found that ten weeks of standard exercise was 20 per cent more effective than medication．And get plenty of sleep．Try to get up at the same time every day, even if you haven't slept well． 5
A．Can Exercise Help Overcome Reverse Sad
B．Can You Shake off the Spring Blues
C．This phenomenon is sometimes called “reverse sad”．
D．The spring blues may have a negative effect on people．
E．Like traditional SAD, spring depression comes back at the same time every year．
F．But if your depression shows no sign of lifting, see your doctor．
G．Reverse SAD, on the other hand, might be caused by too much sunlight．
Passage 7
Earth Day,marked on April 22nd,is the perfect opportunity to think about how we can make the world a better place. 1 —like these small changes you can make to move towards a happier,healthier life that’s also kinder to the planet.
Get outdoors.
Did you know that the average person only spends four hours a week playing outdoors 2 .Why not visit a local park,forest or beach If none of the above is easily accessible to you,explore the woods of your own neighborhood.Just trying an eco-friendly project in gardens like zero-waste-bird-feeding is also a good choice.
3 .
Many people find that connecting to the natural environment makes them happy for a much longer time,compared with crazy shopping,which only brings temporary excitement but,more likely,lasting harm to the planet.
It’s no accident that meditation (冥思) apps and videos are often themed with rain,forests and calming ocean sounds. 4 ,what’s the point of paying to do it online Why not challenge yourself to connect with the earth by simply noticing what’s around you
Save the planet by “plogging”!
Plogging simply means collecting litter as you jog,or walk around your community.Why not host a plogging event of your own 5 .You can also get some great exercise at the same time.Plus,you become more mindful of the trash we throw away every day,and the difference we can make to the earth.
A.Purchase less and connect more
B.Leave your happiness in the wild
C.The following are three good chances
D.You can help clean up your community
E.There are so many ways to get involved
F.We challenge you to get outside on April 22nd
G.Since we can experience them easily outside in nature
Passage 8
Life offers its fair share of challenges.At any given time,anyone can face difficult seasons in their life.It is true for you.When you’re experiencing difficulty,it’s always helpful to have a support system to get through it. 1 Knowing this,there are a few ways you can become supportive of a family member who is in the midst of a struggle.
Offer legal resources.If you have family members who are in trouble with the law,you can offer assistance by pointing in the direction of various legal resources.You can even decide to cover a part of their legal fees in court. 2
Provide encouragement.When people are down on their luck,it’s really easy for them to get discouraged and give up.Instead,it’s a wise move to offer words of encouragement to the person.Always remind them that they’re strong,capable and more powerful than they realize. 3
Be a safe place.Sometimes,people struggle because they don’t feel any love or support from anyone around them. 4 Be their light in the dark places.This can do so much for someone who is carrying a lot on the inside.
5 You never want to make a person feel like they can’t make it without you in their life.If you’re allowing the family member to live with you for a certain period of time,be strict about what needs to happen during that time.Make sure that they develop a plan,a time line and measured action steps that can help them get back on their feet.
A.No man is an island.
B.Encourage independence.
C.In fact,they are surrounded by pressure.
D.Always compete with your family members.
E.Tell them that they will get through this situation.
F.It’s all up to you to decide how you can help them.
G.However,you know that there’s nothing you can do.
Passage 9
If anyone has ever told you to “open up more” or “show some emotion”,you may wonder what they really meant.It’s easy for us to get caught up in our own little worlds and hide what we’re feeling from other people. 1 .But if you can open up more to others,you’ll see how rewarding it is to connect on a deeper level.
2 .Relax and think through your feelings as they come to you.Whenever you feel something,take a second to sit with what you’re feeling.Think about how you feel and let the emotion wash over you naturally.
Name your emotions as they come to you.Giving your feelings names makes it easier to understand.Once you’re comfortable with a feeling,give the emotion a name.Are you anxious about something If you don’t feel anything particularly moving,are you bored,or content This process will make you more self-aware. 3 .
Maintain a journal for your feelings.One way to help you to open up emotionally to others is to keep a daily journal. 4 .Every day,write down a paragraph or two about your day and how it makes you feel.This will help you track your feelings over time and put you more in tune with yourself.
Engage in fun activities to share experiences with others.Do things you enjoy with people you love to share positive emotions with.Be delicate one night a week to go out and grab dinner with your family. 5 ,or go on a 20-minute walk every day.Being emotionally available and sharing how you feel is a lot easier when you have fun with the people you care about.
A.Push yourself to share every day
B.Take a minute to process emotions
C.Take a cooking class with your partner
D.Open up and get used to sharing how you feel
E.It will also help you express what you’re feeling
F.Treat it as a special space for you to open up and be honest
G.Sometimes,we don’t even realize we’re being guarded or hiding our feelings

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是几十年来，男子运动一直受益于投资者所说的“飞轮效应”。如今，女子运动也受到“飞轮效应”的影响。
1．F 段中题。根据上文“Men's sport has for decades benefited from what investors call a ‘flywheel effect’．Big broadcast and sponsorship deals throw money into the game readily．(几十年来，男子运动一直受益于投资者所说的‘飞轮效应’。大型转播和赞助协议很容易就把钱投入到比赛中。)”和下文“That, in turn, generates even more money the next time around．(这反过来又会在下一次产生更多的钱。)”可知，F选项“That attracts more players and raises the level of play, which helps attract more viewers．(那吸引了更多的玩家，提高了比赛水平，这有助于吸引更多的观众。)”承上启下，其中that指代上文的“飞轮效应”，这种效应吸引了更多的玩家，提高了比赛的水平，反之下一次产生更多的钱。下文中的that指代空处内容。故选F。
2．E 段中题。根据上文“Women's sport has long suffered the opposite phenomenon．(长期以来，女子运动一直遭遇相反的现象。)”可知，女子运动不太受观众的关注。设空处应该指出由此带来的结果。E选项“Broadcasters have unwillingly shown it without being sure that people will watch．(广播公司在不确定观众是否会观看的情况下，不愿意播放节目。)”指出由于女子运动项目不太受观众的关注所以广播公司不愿意播放节目。故选E。
3．A 段中题。根据下文“The first quarter of 2022 saw the highest viewership, up by around 50% on 2019, the last full year before the pandemic．(2022年第一季度的收视率最高，比2019年(大流行前的最后一年)增长了约50%。)”可知，此处通过数据解释了飞轮效应。A选项“Start with viewing figures．(从观看数据开始。)”引起下文。故选A。
4．B 段首题。根据下文“Viewership of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) in America rose by 50% in 2021 compared with 2020．In February, the WNBA felt confident, raising $75 million and valuing it at $1 billion．(与2020年相比，2021年美国女子篮球协会的收视率上升了50%。今年2月，WNBA感到信心十足，筹集了7 500万美元，估值为10亿美元。)”可知，随着女子篮球的收视率上升，WNBA由此筹集了更多的金钱，即随着关注度的上升，获得的金钱回报则越多。B选项“Money is starting to follow eyeballs．(金钱开始追随关注度。)”概括本段主旨，引起下文。故选B。
5．G 段尾题。根据上文“One big change is that several big rights-holders, including FIFA and World Rugby, now sell sponsorship rights for women's events separately, rather than bonded with the men's tournaments．(一个巨大的变化是，包括国际足联和世界橄榄球联盟在内的几大版权持有者现在分别出售女子赛事的赞助权，而不是与男子赛事捆绑在一起。)”可知，国际足联和世界橄榄球联盟在内的几大版权持有者现在分别出售女子赛事的赞助权，而不是与男子赛事捆绑在一起。G选项“That forces buyers and sellers to think about exactly how much such rights might be worth．(那迫使买卖双方考虑这些版权究竟值多少钱。)”中的that指代上文的“国际足联和世界橄榄球联盟在内的几大版权持有者现在分别出售女子赛事的赞助权”，上下文是因果关系，同时rights与上文中的rights呼应。故选G。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要通过解释存钱和花钱的道理，谈论了理解理论和付诸实践之间的关系。
1．C 段尾题。下文“It's a mistaken idea that knowing is half the battle．In most situations, just knowing something is not nearly enough for you to put it into practice．(认为知道就等于成功了一半的想法是错误的。在大多数情况下，仅仅知道一些事情是不足以让你付诸实践的。)”对第一段谈到的问题进行了解释，即“为什么尽管听过道理，但却不会付诸实践”。C项“原因是什么？”承上启下。故选C。
2．D 段中题。下文“Behavioral scientists have seen people struggle to save money, to cut back on their expenses, even after they've taken a financial class．(行为科学家看到人们努力存钱，努力削减开支，即使他们已经上了金融课程。)”和“They believe that financial security is just a problem that can be taught to solve．(他们认为财务安全只是一个可以通过学习来解决的问题。)”可知，作者并不认为财务安全仅仅只是一个通过学习就能解决的问题。D项“信息并不总能改变行为。”符合作者的态度，谈到了学习到的信息和人们的行为之间的关系。故选D。
3．B 段中题。下文“America spends nearly 700 million dollars every year on financial education programs, yet researchers have found that these programs explained only 0．1% of the change in financial behavior．(美国每年在金融教育项目上花费近7亿美元，但研究人员发现，这些项目只能解释金融行为变化的0．1%。)”说明美国每年斥巨资并不能很好地解释金融行为变化，再次证明财务安全并不能光靠学习解决。B项“但事实往往并非如此。”与上文为转折关系，引起下文。故选B。
4．E 段首题。空处为本段主旨句，下文“If you are struggling, it's not because there's something wrong with you．It's most likely because there is something wrong with how your environment is set up．(如果你在拼搏，那并不是因为你有什么问题。这很可能是因为您的环境设置有问题。)”提到关键词environment，空处也需要提到此关键词。E项“行为改变不是教育追求，而是环境追求。”符合题意。故选E。
