Volunteer with Red Cross
Volunteering expands your skills and experience, increases your employability and is a way to stay active and engaged with the community. It’s also a way for you to give back to the community and help people who need a hand. Here are some of our community services:
Aged Care Services for older people
Our social support and aged care services provide a range of support for older people. They can be matched one-on-one with a volunteer, receive regular caring welfare calls, be driven to appointments, be provided with a personal alarm or be delivered a healthy meal. We can also support them to access appropriate housing and care.
Homelessness Services
Red Cross believes that everyone deserves a home that is safe, secure and affordable. In an average year, Red Cross helps 2,180 people to find housing, supports 1,360 people at risk of becoming homeless, and provides 43,400 meals for people experiencing hardship.
We support people who are at risk of losing their rental property by negotiating with landlords(房东) or finding more suitable accommodation. We also help clients to manage the potential issues which contribute to their housing problems, including income management, misuse of alcohol or other drugs.
We build life skills by supporting people who have been homeless to develop community connection and friendship through one-on-one matching with a volunteer, providing education and training support, and teaching first-aid skills. These new connections and skills make a big difference, helping people move out of cycles of homelessness.
Mental Health Support Services
Red Cross provides mental health support services and programs that promote the participation of people with a mental illness in the community and support the well-being of young people. Red Cross wants to support those people to be more independent, to improve their well-being and social connection, and to build their confidence and skills.
21．What support do Aged Care Services and Homelessness Services both provide
A．Training support. B．One-on-one service.
C．Regular welfare calls. D．Free accommodation.
22．How does Red Cross help people at risk of becoming homeless
A．By teaching money management.
B．By maintaining friendship with landlords.
C．By finding suitable housing.
D．By developing community connection.
23．What help can people with mental illness receive
A．Cure of mental diseases. B．Personality rebuilding.

For Mother’s Day I asked for one thing: a house cleaning service. Bathrooms and floors specifically, windows if the extra expense was reasonable. The gift, for me, was not so much in the cleaning itself but the fact that for once I would not be in charge of the household office work. I would not have to make the calls, get multiple quotes (报价), research and compare each service, arrange payment and schedule the appointment. The real gift I wanted was to be relieved of the emotional labor of a single task that had been nagging (唠叨) at the back of my mind. The clean house would simply be a bonus.
My husband waited for me to change my mind to an “easier” gift than housecleaning, something he could one-click order on Amazon. Disappointed by my unwavering desire, the day before Mother’s Day he called a single service, decided they were too expensive, and promised to clean the bathrooms himself. He still gave me the choice, of course. He told me the high dollar amount of completing the cleaning services I requested (since I control the budget) and asked repeatedly if I still wanted him to book it.
What I wanted was for him to ask friends on Facebook for a recommendation, call four or five more services, do the emotional labor I would have done if the job had fallen to me. I had wanted to hire out deep cleaning for a while, especially since my freelance (自由职业的) work had picked up considerably. The reason I hadn’t done it yet was part guilt over not doing my housework, and an even larger part of not wanting to deal with the work of hiring a service. I knew exactly how exhausting it was going to be. That’s why I asked my husband to do it as a gift.
But, I was gifted a necklace for Mother’s Day while my husband stole away to deep sweep the bathrooms, leaving me to tend to our children as the rest of the house fell into total mess…
24．Why did the author request a housecleaning service for Mother’s Day
A．To reduce her husband’s financial burden.
B．To force her husband to do some housework.
C．To treat herself to a break from household chores.
D．To experience a pricy service for a special occasion.
25．What does the underlined word “unwavering” in the 2nd paragraph mean
A．Unyielding. B．Undemanding. C．Unbearable. D．Unreasonable.
26．What did the author’s husband decide to do the day before Mother’s Day
A．He arranged for the service as a gift.
B．He searched relevant information online.
C．He determined to clean the bathroom himself.
D．He purchased a necklace instead as an apology.
27．How did the author feel about her husband’s final solution
A．She felt completely satisfied with it.
B．She felt being ignored with her real needs.
C．She was relieved to see her problem solved.
D．She was disappointed but tried to understand him.
C
Coral reefs are among the most productive ecosystems in the world. They’re also in serious danger——climate change and other threats are killing them off. But researchers have come up with an invention they think could help the reefs: 3D-printed corals.
At the heart of reef ecosystems lies a symbiosis (共生关系) between corals and algae (藻类). Corals use light and they’re photosynthesizing (光合作用). The algae inside corals’ tissues make use of the light to generate energy, and that energy is then transferred to the coral animal host. That animal host, in return, transfers certain by-products to the algae, so they have a symbiosis going on.
This bond between algae and corals is what makes reefs so incredibly productive. Because of this symbiosis, corals have evolved complex skeletal (骨骼的) and tissue structures for collecting sunlight which usually fades rapidly. Through the skeleton, light is pumped and guided into deeper, otherwise shaded areas.
Scientists copied some tricks that corals use. They imaged corals to analyze their skeletal and tissue makeup and then used a 3D bioprinter to build a complicated structure that mimics real corals. The printed corals were made of biomaterials like cellulose (纤维素) and had algae planted in them.
The researchers replicated coral structure so well that the algae grew very quickly—— up to 100 times more densely than they normally grow in the lab. The 3D-printed creation could be used as a medium to grow algae to produce bioenergy and also as a tool for studying the coral-algae symbiosis.
Of course, there are many other ways this technology can be further scaled and improved to create something like artificial corals in the future. So this is just the first step, where they created the animal host, but they are now continuing to further replicate this animal-algal symbiosis and developing model systems. Eventually, it would be nice that this can have direct applications in coral reef restoration.
28．What is the function of the algae inside corals’ tissues
A．To perform photosynthesis. B．To pump light into shaded areas.
C．To produce energy needed by their host. D．To build complex skeletal structures.
29．What do algae get in the symbiotic relationship with corals
A．Stronger tissues. B．Certain by-products.
C．Biomaterials like cellulose. D．An animal host.
30．Scientists use 3D-printed coral structure to _________ .
A．make a study of the coral-algae symbiosis
B．strengthen the bond between algae and corals
C．change ocean conditions for corals to survive
D．remove the harmful algae inside the tissues of corals
31．What is the best title of this passage
A．Fantastic Coexistence of Corals and Algae
B．Corals Evolving Symbiosis to Avoid Extinction
C．Coral Reefs: Productive but Endangered Ecosystem
D．3D-Printed Technology Hopefully Saving Coral Reefs
D
A new product from Google may help people solve their sleep problems, but some privacy rights groups are concerned. Google showed off its newest Nest Hub home assistant device(设备)on Tuesday. In addition to recognizing your voice, showing pictures, videos, news and weather, it can also track your sleep.
The basic model costs about $100 and the sleep-tracking technology will be available for free for the rest of 2021. The sleep tracker makes Google’s product different from a similar home assistant from Amazon.
If you put the Nest Hub beside your bed, it can follow your sleep. That is because of a new computer chip called Soli, which can sense motion(运动). Some people may like the new technology because they would not have to wear another device to bed. Some companies make products people can only wear on their wrist to track their sleep.
Google says the new Nest Hub will create reports each week that show how long and how well a person sleeps. It will also show if they snore(打鼾), cough or wake up often. The company said it studies 15,000 people over the course of 110,000 nights to develop the technology.
For people who want to know more about their sleep, the device sounds like a good idea. But, people who pay attention to privacy are worried about what Google might do with the information it is gathering.
Google recently bought FitBit, a company that makes a health tracker people can wear on their wrist. Technology experts think Google may find a way for the Nest Hub to work with the FitBit. Google says the sleep tracker has a lot of privacy protections. For example, it will only work if the user turns it on. The company also said, “it will not use a person’s sleep information to try to sell advertising.”
32．What can be learned about the Nest Hub
A．It is designed for users to wear on their wrist.
B．It cannot offer information about weather condition.
C．It is a sleep tracker developed by Amazon.
D．It can provide some data about users’ sleep.
33．Which of the following might be a concern about the Nest Hub
A．Disturbing sleep. B．Letting out personal privacy.
C．Lacking advanced technology. D．Worsening personal physical problems.
34．What is expected to happen after Google bought FitBit
A．The Nest Hub will be improved.
B．Google will give up its technology.
C．Sleep information will be made full use of.
D．Privacy protections will be strengthened.
35．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Tech Companies Care About Privacy
B．Google’s Technology Makes Your Sleep Safer
C．A Device Has Been Made for Sleep Research
D．Google’s New Device May Track Your Sleep

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The tendency to engage in negative self-evaluation affects almost everyone. Listening to your loud inner voice is a habit. But there’s a good reason to work on silencing self-criticism, which has been found to worsen depression, anxiety, disordered eating and etc. 36 We asked experts to share their favorite ways to overcome critical self-talk.
1. Investigate the origins.
The first step to stop self-criticism is understanding where the thoughts originated, says Tiffany Green, a psychotherapist in Chicago. When her clients say negative things about themselves, she often asks them, “Where did this come from Who was the first person you heard say this about you ” The response tends to be revealing: maybe their mom called them lazy, or their grandmother told them they needed to lose weight. 37
2. Set up a self-criticism jar.
Every time you catch yourself engaging in a critical thought, throw a coin or piece of paper into a jar. The goal in the beginning is to fill the jar with lots of coins, 38 Over the next three to six months, however, you should notice that you’re adding to it less frequently. Having a visual way to monitor your progress can be motivating and rewarding, Green says.
3. 39
One of Turow’s self-talk strategies is called “spot the success.” Every night before you go to bed, write down 10 things you did that day that benefited you, or somebody else. “No item is too small. You helped your friend, you got up early, you took exercise regularly,” she notes. “It generates this sense in your brain, like, ‘I am doing these good things.’”
4. Look for the gentle lessons.
Self-criticism can sometimes contain important information and even prove helpful, Turow says. You might, for instance, be hard on yourself for not keeping in good touch with your friends. That’s valuable information. If you’re upset with yourself for not making it to the gym, that could signal a desire for a healthier lifestyle. Turow advises noticing the criticism gently, and then learning from it. 40 Instead of “You’re not good at keeping in touch.” try “This is really important to me. I wonder how I can make it happen more often.”
A．Celebrate your wins.
B．Correcting negative thoughts isn’t easy.
C．you can work your way up to the positive ones later.
D．Fortunately, plenty of tools can help us talk more kindly to ourselves.
E．Shift how you talk to yourself, and change the message into a better one.
F．because that’s a sign that you’ve increased your awareness of your thought patterns.
G．The experience is a helpful way to separate yourself from critical thoughts, she says, rather than accepting them as your own.

Eventually, she got to the point that just telling her not to smile would lead to a giant smile. Not wanting to 47 , she would cover her face with her hands. So then the game was to see if I could “find” the smile she was 48 .
The trick was so 49 that I started to use it on her whenever she was dropped off. She would always be handed to me 50 loudly. I’d find some way to 51 her attention so she would listen to me. Then I would tell her not to smile. Her hands would 52 go to cover up a big smile, and after a brief game of “hunting” for the smile, she would stop crying. Then she would forget all about her 53 from her mother and happily run off to find some kids to play with.
I still have fond memories of that sweet little girl, her beautiful smiles, and how she 54 her mother that I was a(n) 55 worker.

When we are little kids, birthday parties are momentous occasions. They are our time to shine, and we love everything about them: the balloons, the games, the cake, the gifts, and so on.
After reading cool stories about police officers solving mysteries, Allen Miller thought the police were awesome, hoping to become one of them! So, when he had to choose a theme for his seventh birthday party—he went with his favorite: the police! And all he wanted for his birthday party was a model police car. He excitedly invited some of his friends and anxiously awaited the day. Unfortunately, none of them could make it to the party due to various reasons,
Allen’s mom Rachel wrestled with the challenging decision: should she cancel the party and save Allen the embarrassment of an empty party room He had been looking forward to the party and talking about it daily, so it would break his heart to cancel it.
Officer Frank Smith, who had already planned with Rachel and agreed to show up at the party, heard from Rachel that it might be canceled due to low attendance. That’s when he decided to save the day—he is a police officer after all! His duty is to serve and protect, and he decided to protect Allen from having a bad day, and serve him the most amazing seventh birthday party! Officer Smith got the whole local police to join in. “We like to be involved in our community. It’s not just about enforcing (执行) the law. We like to be there in the good times as well,” he explained to Rachel.
On the day of Allen’s party, Officer Smith picked up Rachel and Allen in his police car. The boy didn’t know where they were going, but was excited. They stopped at Town Hall, and officer Smith led them into the meeting room where a group of policemen were waiting to wish Allen a happy birthday.

There, a party was waiting for him. The moment Allen stepped inside, a chorus of “Happy Birthday” filled the meeting room, and he found himself surrounded by lots of police officers holding balloons. Officer Smith introduced him to all the officers, who gave him high fives. Allen was thrilled, and his eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked at the grand police-themed cake. As Allen cut into the cake with the help of his mom, the room erupted into cheers and laughter, adding to the joyful atmosphere. (82 words)
After they enjoyed the cake, officer Smith too out a gift bag. “It’s for you.” He presented the delicately wrapped parcel to Allen, who was stunned by the surprise. “Wow, a model police car! It looks exactly like the one we came here in! Thank you!” Officer Smith smiled. Allen hugged Officer Smith and thanked him again for making the otherwise crushing disappointment his time to shine. It was the local heroes who helped by being part of the community and inspiring the young soul in small but effective ways. (84 words)

M: In 2002, Emily and David Robinson made a decision to leave their high-paying jobs to pursue a life devoted to social service. This choice came about after they volunteered at a community center where people shared resources and supported each other. The experience moved the Robinsons deeply and in 2010, they established Global Sanitation Initiative, which aims to provide clean water and cleanliness facilities to poor communities worldwide. GSI projects are carried out by volunteers and rely on donated materials and expertise. The Robinsons firmly believe that community members should be actively involved in improving their own living conditions, so people receiving GSI's aid are also expected to contribute to the construction and maintenance of the water and cleanliness systems. In line with their philosophy of self-help, the Robinsons wanted to make sure that aid was not just given out freely. GSI services are offered at certain prices, ensuring affordability without compromising the organization's non-profit status. Currently, there is a global network of volunteers supporting GSI's mission. Why not join our efforts to help Global Sanitation Initiative bring about positive change around the world （停20秒）

(我们通过与志愿者一对一配对、提供教育和培训支持以及教授急救技能，支持无家可归者发展社区联系和友谊，从而培养生活技能)”可知，这两种服务都提供一对一的服务。故选B。
22．细节理解题。 根据 Homelessness services 部分的第二段第一句话“We support people who are at risk of losing their rental property by negotiating with landlords(房东) or finding more suitable accommodation.(我们通过与房东谈判或寻找更合适的住处来支持那些有可能失去租赁房产的人)”可知，红十字会与房东协商或寻找合适的住宿来帮助面临失去住房风险的人们。故选C。
23．细节理解题。根据 Mental Health Support Services部分的“Red Cross provides men tal health support services and programs that promote the participation of people with a men tal illness in the community and support the well-being of young people.(红十字会提供男性健康支持服务和项目，促进男性疾病患者参与社区，支持年轻人的福祉)”可知，红十字会提供精神健康支持服务，促进精神疾病患者在社区的参与度。故选 D。
24．C 2 5．A 26．C 27．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述作者希望在母亲节收到家庭清洁服务作为礼物，以及她与丈夫围绕这一请求所展开的一系列互动和对话，展示了作者对家庭清洁工作情感劳动的渴望解脱，以及她丈夫对此的不同反应和做法。
24．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The gift, for me, was not so much in the cleaning itself but the fact that for once I would not be in charge of the household office work. I would not have to make the calls, get multiple quotes (报价), research and compare each service, arrange payment and schedule the appointment. The real gift I wanted was to be relieved of the emotional labor of a single task that had been nagging (唠叨) at the back of my mind. The clean house would simply be a bonus.(对我来说，礼物并不是打扫卫生本身，而是这一次我不用再负责家务了。我不需要打电话，获得多个报价，研究和比较每个服务，安排付款和安排约会。我真正想要的礼物是，从一直萦绕在我脑海里的单一任务的情感劳动中解脱出来。干净的房子只是额外的奖励。)”可知，作者想要的母亲节礼物是家庭清洁服务，因为这样她就可以不必承担寻找服务、安排付款和预约等任务，从而得到情感上的解脱。因此，她请求家庭清洁服务是为了给自己从家务事中解脱出来，享受一段休息时间。故选C。
25．词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文的“My husband waited for me to change my mind to an “easier” gift than housecleaning, something he could one-click order on Amazon.(我丈夫等着我改变主意，选择比打扫房间更“容易”的礼物，他可以在亚马逊上一键订购。)”再根据“disappointed(失望的)”可推测，作者的要求并没有改变。由此可推测，划线词unwavering为“不变的”之意。选项A“Unyielding (不屈的、坚定不移的)”；选项B“Undemanding (要求不高的)”；选项C“Unbearable (无法忍受的)”；选项D“Unreasonable (不合理的)”。故选A。
26．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Disappointed by my unwavering desire, the day before Mother’s Day he called a single service, decided they were too expensive, and promised to clean the bathrooms himself.(对我坚定不移的要求感到失望的是，在母亲节的前一天，他打电话给一家服务公司，认为他们太贵了，并承诺自己打扫浴室。)”可知，在母亲节前一天作者的丈夫决定自己打扫浴室。故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The real gift I wanted was to be relieved of the emotional labor of a single task that had been nagging (唠叨) at the back of my mind. The clean house would simply be a bonus.(我真正想要的礼物是，从一直萦绕在我脑海里的单一任务的情感劳动中解脱出来。干净的房子只是额外的奖励。)”可知，作者原本想要在母亲节收到一个家庭清洁服务作为礼物，这样她就可以从繁琐的家务事中解脱出来。而根据文章最后一段“But, I was gifted a necklace for Mother’s Day while my husband stole away to deep sweep the bathrooms, leaving me to tend to our children as the rest of the house fell into total mess…(但是，当我丈夫偷偷地去彻底打扫浴室时，我收到了母亲节的礼物一条项链，留下我照顾我们的孩子，而房子的其他地方则陷入了一团糟……)”可知，她的丈夫最终决定自己打扫浴室，而作者仍然需要照顾孩子，家里的其他地方则变得一团糟。由此可推测，作者认为自己丈夫并没有理解自己的需求。故选B。
28．C 29．B 30．A 31．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了3D打印珊瑚可以减轻珊瑚礁的压力，从而起到保护珊瑚礁的作用。。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段中第三句话“The algae inside corals’ tissues (组织) make use of the light to generate energy,and that energy is then transferred to the coral animal host. (珊瑚的组织内的藻类用光产生能量,之后能量被转移到珊瑚虫宿主身上)”可知，珊瑚组织内的藻类作用是利用光产生珊瑚虫宿主需要的能量。故选 C。
29． 细节理解题。 根据第二段中最后一句话“That animal host, in return, transfers certain by-products to the algae, so they have a symbiosis going on. (珊瑚虫宿主又反过来将某些副产品转移给藻类，这样它们就形成了共生关系)”可知，藻类在与珊瑚的共生关系中得到某些副产品。故选B 。
30．细节理解题。 根据第五段中最后一句话“The 3D-printed creation could be used as a medium to grow algae to produce bioener gy and also as a tool for studying the coral-algae symbiosis. (3D打印出来的珊瑚可用作媒介，来种植产生生物能源的藻类，也可以作为研究珊瑚与藻类共生关系的工具)”可知，科学家利用3D打印的珊瑚结构研究珊瑚与藻类的共生关系。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段的最后一句“But researchers have come up with an invention they think could help the reefs: 3D-printed corals. (但是研究人员想出了他们认为可以帮助珊瑚礁的发明：3D打印珊瑚)”以及最后一段中第二句话“So this is just the first step, where they created the animal host, but they are now continuing to further replicate this animal-algal symbiosis and developing model systems. Eventually, it would be nice that this can have direct applications in coral reef restoration. (因此这只是他们创造动物宿主的第一步，但他们在继续进一步复制这种动物与藻类共生关系并计划开发模型系统。当然，这项技术能够直接应用于珊瑚礁的修复就更好了)”可知，本篇文章主要介绍了3D打印珊瑚可以减轻珊瑚礁的压力，从而起到保护珊瑚礁的作用。所以“3D打印技术有望拯救珊瑚礁”适合作本文的标题。故选D。
32．D 33．B 34．A 35．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Nest Hub的睡眠追踪功能以及相关的隐私担忧。
32．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In addition to recognizing your voice, showing pictures, videos, news and weather, it can also track your sleep. (除了识别您的声音，显示图片，视频，新闻和天气外，它还可以跟踪您的睡眠)”和第三段中“If you put the Nest Hub beside your bed, it can follow your sleep.(如果你把Nest Hub放在床边，它可以跟随你的睡眠)”及第四段中“Google says the new Nest Hub will create reports each week that show how long and how well a person sleeps. (谷歌表示，新的Nest Hub将每周创建报告，显示一个人的睡眠时间和睡眠情况)”可知，Nest Hub是一个家庭助手设备，不用佩戴就可以追踪睡眠并会为用户生成报告。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new product from Google may help people solve their sleep problems, but some privacy rights groups are concerned. (谷歌的新产品可能会帮助人们解决睡眠问题，但一些隐私权组织对此表示担忧。)”以及第五段“For people who want to know more about their sleep, the device sounds like a good idea. But, people who pay attention to privacy are worried about what Google might do with the information it is gathering. (对于想要了解更多关于睡眠的人来说，该设备听起来是个好主意。但是，关注隐私的人担心谷歌可能会如何处理它收集的信息)”可知，隐私保护组织担心谷歌可能会滥用收集到的信息。故选B项。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Technology experts think Google may find a way for the Nest Hub to work with the FitBit. (技术专家认为，谷歌可能会找到一种让Nest Hub与FitBit合作的方法)”推知，谷歌收购FitBit的技术以改进Nest Hub，故选A项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new product from Google may help people solve their sleep problems, but some privacy rights groups are concerned. Google showed off its newest Nest Hub home assistant device(设备)on Tuesday. In addition to recognizing your voice, showing pictures, videos, news and weather, it can also track your sleep.(谷歌的一款新产品可能会帮助人们解决睡眠问题，但一些隐私权组织对此表示担忧。周二，谷歌展示了其最新的Nest Hub家庭助理设备。除了识别你的声音，显示图片、视频、新闻和天气，它还可以跟踪你的睡眠)”及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Nest Hub的睡眠追踪功能，售价，并解释了它的睡眠追踪功能，以及相关的隐私担忧，文章最后提到了谷歌收购FitBit可能的影响。D项“Google’s New Device May Track Your Sleep (谷歌的新设备可能会跟踪您的睡眠)”最适合概括全文。故选D项。
36．D 37．G 38．F 39．A 40．E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了克服消极自我批判的几种方法。
36．根据上文“But there’s a good reason to work on silencing self-criticism, which has been found to worsen depression, anxiety, disordered eating and etc.(但我们有充分的理由停止自我批评，因为研究发现，自我批评会加重抑郁、焦虑、饮食失调等症状)”以及后文“We asked experts to share their favorite ways to overcome critical self-talk.(我们请专家们分享他们最喜欢的克服批判性自言自语的方法)”可知，上文讲消极的自我批判会带来负面的影响，后文讲专家分享的解决方法，故本句与上文构成转折关系，tools和ways形成呼应。故D选项“幸运的是，很多工具可以帮助我们更友好地与自己交谈”符合语境，故选D。
37．根据上文“The first step to stop self-criticism is understanding where the thoughts originated, says Tiffany Green, a psychotherapist in Chicago. When her clients say negative things about themselves, she often asks them, “Where did this come from Who was the first person you heard say this about you ” The response tends to be revealing: maybe their mom called them lazy, or their grandmother told them they needed to lose weight. (芝加哥的心理治疗师蒂芙尼·格林说，停止自我批评的第一步是了解这些想法的来源。当她的客户说自己的坏话时，她经常问他们：“这是从哪里来的？你第一个听到这样说你的人是谁？”人们的反应往往很明显：也许他们的妈妈说他们懒惰，或者他们的祖母告诉他们需要减肥)”可知，所在的文段主要讲，要弄清楚消极自我批判的起源，并以Green和客户的沟通方式举例。The experience指前面的事例，同时she指代Green。故G选项“她说，这种经历是一种很有帮助的方式，可以让你把自己从批判性的想法中分离出来，而不是把它们当作自己的想法来接受”符合语境，故选G。
38．根据上文“Every time you catch yourself engaging in a critical thought, throw a coin or piece of paper into a jar. The goal in the beginning is to fill the jar with lots of coins(每当你发现自己陷入批判性思维时，就把一枚硬币或一张纸扔进罐子里。一开始的目标是用很多硬币填满罐子)”可知，起初罐内的硬币数量很多，是对思维模式刻意训练的证明。故F选项“因为这表明你已经提高了对自己思维模式的意识”符合语境，故选F。
39．根据本段内容“One of Turow’s self-talk strategies is called “spot the success.” Every night before you go to bed, write down 10 things you did that day that benefited you, or somebody else. “No item is too small. You helped your friend, you got up early, you took exercise regularly,” she notes. “It generates this sense in your brain, like, ‘I am doing these good things.’”(特罗的自我对话策略之一被称为“发现成功”。每天晚上睡觉前，写下10件你当天做的对自己或他人有益的事情。“任何东西都不会太小。你帮助你的朋友，你早起，你经常锻炼，”她说。“它会在你的大脑中产生这种感觉，比如，‘我在做这些好事。’”)”可知，要学会发现自己的成功，给予肯定和正面鼓励。故A选项“庆祝你的胜利”符合语境，故选A。
40．根据上文“Self-criticism can sometimes contain important information and even prove helpful, Turow says. You might, for instance, be hard on yourself for not keeping in good touch with your friends. That’s valuable information. If you’re upset with yourself for not making it to the gym, that could signal a desire for a healthier lifestyle. Turow advises noticing the criticism gently, and then learning from it.(特罗说，自我批评有时可以包含重要信息，甚至证明是有益的。例如，你可能会因为没有和朋友保持良好的联系而对自己很苛刻。这是很有价值的信息。如果你因为没有去健身房而心烦意乱，那可能意味着你想要一种更健康的生活方式。图罗建议温柔地注意批评，然后从中吸取教训)”可知，上文暗示，不要一味苛刻地自我批判，要温和对待，从中吸取教训。本句承接前一句，转变自我对话的方式，换一个更好的说法。故E选项“改变你对自己说话的方式，把信息变成更好的信息”符合语境，故选E。

Aged Care Services for older people
Our social support and aged care services provide a range of support for older people. They can be matched one-on-one with a volunteer, receive regular caring welfare calls, be driven to appointments, be provided with a personal alarm or be delivered a healthy meal. We can also support them to access appropriate housing and care.
Homelessness Services
Red Cross believes that everyone deserves a home that is safe, secure and affordable. In an average year, Red Cross helps 2,180 people to find housing, supports 1,360 people at risk of becoming homeless, and provides 43,400 meals for people experiencing hardship.
We support people who are at risk of losing their rental property by negotiating with landlords(房东) or finding more suitable accommodation. We also help clients to manage the potential issues which contribute to their housing problems, including income management, misuse of alcohol or other drugs.
We build life skills by supporting people who have been homeless to develop community connection and friendship through one-on-one matching with a volunteer, providing education and training support, and teaching first-aid skills. These new connections and skills make a big difference, helping people move out of cycles of homelessness.
Mental Health Support Services
Red Cross provides mental health support services and programs that promote the participation of people with a mental illness in the community and support the well-being of young people. Red Cross wants to support those people to be more independent, to improve their well-being and social connection, and to build their confidence and skills.

For Mother’s Day I asked for one thing: a house cleaning service. Bathrooms and floors specifically, windows if the extra expense was reasonable. The gift, for me, was not so much in the cleaning itself but the fact that for once I would not be in charge of the household office work. I would not have to make the calls, get multiple quotes (报价), research and compare each service, arrange payment and schedule the appointment. The real gift I wanted was to be relieved of the emotional labor of a single task that had been nagging (唠叨) at the back of my mind. The clean house would simply be a bonus.
My husband waited for me to change my mind to an “easier” gift than housecleaning, something he could one-click order on Amazon. Disappointed by my unwavering desire, the day before Mother’s Day he called a single service, decided they were too expensive, and promised to clean the bathrooms himself. He still gave me the choice, of course. He told me the high dollar amount of completing the cleaning services I requested (since I control the budget) and asked repeatedly if I still wanted him to book it.
What I wanted was for him to ask friends on Facebook for a recommendation, call four or five more services, do the emotional labor I would have done if the job had fallen to me. I had wanted to hire out deep cleaning for a while, especially since my freelance (自由职业的) work had picked up considerably. The reason I hadn’t done it yet was part guilt over not doing my housework, and an even larger part of not wanting to deal with the work of hiring a service. I knew exactly how exhausting it was going to be. That’s why I asked my husband to do it as a gift.
But, I was gifted a necklace for Mother’s Day while my husband stole away to deep sweep the bathrooms, leaving me to tend to our children as the rest of the house fell into total mess…
24．Why did the author request a housecleaning service for Mother’s Day
A．To reduce her husband’s financial burden.
B．To force her husband to do some housework.
C．To treat herself to a break from household chores.
D．To experience a pricy service for a special occasion.
25．What does the underlined word “unwavering” in the 2nd paragraph mean
A．Unyielding. B．Undemanding. C．Unbearable. D．Unreasonable.
26．What did the author’s husband decide to do the day before Mother’s Day
A．He arranged for the service as a gift.
B．He searched relevant information online.
C．He determined to clean the bathroom himself.
D．He purchased a necklace instead as an apology.
27．How did the author feel about her husband’s final solution
A．She felt completely satisfied with it.
B．She felt being ignored with her real needs.
C．She was relieved to see her problem solved.
D．She was disappointed but tried to understand him.

Coral reefs are among the most productive ecosystems in the world. They’re also in serious danger——climate change and other threats are killing them off. But researchers have come up with an invention they think could help the reefs: 3D-printed corals.
At the heart of reef ecosystems lies a symbiosis (共生关系) between corals and algae (藻类). Corals use light and they’re photosynthesizing (光合作用). The algae inside corals’ tissues make use of the light to generate energy, and that energy is then transferred to the coral animal host. That animal host, in return, transfers certain by-products to the algae, so they have a symbiosis going on.
This bond between algae and corals is what makes reefs so incredibly productive. Because of this symbiosis, corals have evolved complex skeletal (骨骼的) and tissue structures for collecting sunlight which usually fades rapidly. Through the skeleton, light is pumped and guided into deeper, otherwise shaded areas.
Scientists copied some tricks that corals use. They imaged corals to analyze their skeletal and tissue makeup and then used a 3D bioprinter to build a complicated structure that mimics real corals. The printed corals were made of biomaterials like cellulose (纤维素) and had algae planted in them.
The researchers replicated coral structure so well that the algae grew very quickly—— up to 100 times more densely than they normally grow in the lab. The 3D-printed creation could be used as a medium to grow algae to produce bioenergy and also as a tool for studying the coral-algae symbiosis.
Of course, there are many other ways this technology can be further scaled and improved to create something like artificial corals in the future. So this is just the first step, where they created the animal host, but they are now continuing to further replicate this animal-algal symbiosis and developing model systems. Eventually, it would be nice that this can have direct applications in coral reef restoration.
28．What is the function of the algae inside corals’ tissues
A．To perform photosynthesis. B．To pump light into shaded areas.
C．To produce energy needed by their host. D．To build complex skeletal structures.
29．What do algae get in the symbiotic relationship with corals
A．Stronger tissues. B．Certain by-products.
C．Biomaterials like cellulose. D．An animal host.
30．Scientists use 3D-printed coral structure to _________ .
A．make a study of the coral-algae symbiosis
B．strengthen the bond between algae and corals
C．change ocean conditions for corals to survive
D．remove the harmful algae inside the tissues of corals
31．What is the best title of this passage
A．Fantastic Coexistence of Corals and Algae
B．Corals Evolving Symbiosis to Avoid Extinction
C．Coral Reefs: Productive but Endangered Ecosystem
D．3D-Printed Technology Hopefully Saving Coral Reefs

A new product from Google may help people solve their sleep problems, but some privacy rights groups are concerned. Google showed off its newest Nest Hub home assistant device(设备)on Tuesday. In addition to recognizing your voice, showing pictures, videos, news and weather, it can also track your sleep.
The basic model costs about $100 and the sleep-tracking technology will be available for free for the rest of 2021. The sleep tracker makes Google’s product different from a similar home assistant from Amazon.
If you put the Nest Hub beside your bed, it can follow your sleep. That is because of a new computer chip called Soli, which can sense motion(运动). Some people may like the new technology because they would not have to wear another device to bed. Some companies make products people can only wear on their wrist to track their sleep.
Google says the new Nest Hub will create reports each week that show how long and how well a person sleeps. It will also show if they snore(打鼾), cough or wake up often. The company said it studies 15,000 people over the course of 110,000 nights to develop the technology.
For people who want to know more about their sleep, the device sounds like a good idea. But, people who pay attention to privacy are worried about what Google might do with the information it is gathering.
Google recently bought FitBit, a company that makes a health tracker people can wear on their wrist. Technology experts think Google may find a way for the Nest Hub to work with the FitBit. Google says the sleep tracker has a lot of privacy protections. For example, it will only work if the user turns it on. The company also said, “it will not use a person’s sleep information to try to sell advertising.”
32．What can be learned about the Nest Hub
A．It is designed for users to wear on their wrist.
B．It cannot offer information about weather condition.
C．It is a sleep tracker developed by Amazon.
D．It can provide some data about users’ sleep.
33．Which of the following might be a concern about the Nest Hub
A．Disturbing sleep. B．Letting out personal privacy.
C．Lacking advanced technology. D．Worsening personal physical problems.
34．What is expected to happen after Google bought FitBit
A．The Nest Hub will be improved.
B．Google will give up its technology.
C．Sleep information will be made full use of.
D．Privacy protections will be strengthened.
35．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Tech Companies Care About Privacy
B．Google’s Technology Makes Your Sleep Safer
C．A Device Has Been Made for Sleep Research
D．Google’s New Device May Track Your Sleep

The tendency to engage in negative self-evaluation affects almost everyone. Listening to your loud inner voice is a habit. But there’s a good reason to work on silencing self-criticism, which has been found to worsen depression, anxiety, disordered eating and etc. 36 We asked experts to share their favorite ways to overcome critical self-talk.
1. Investigate the origins.
The first step to stop self-criticism is understanding where the thoughts originated, says Tiffany Green, a psychotherapist in Chicago. When her clients say negative things about themselves, she often asks them, “Where did this come from Who was the first person you heard say this about you ” The response tends to be revealing: maybe their mom called them lazy, or their grandmother told them they needed to lose weight. 37
2. Set up a self-criticism jar.
Every time you catch yourself engaging in a critical thought, throw a coin or piece of paper into a jar. The goal in the beginning is to fill the jar with lots of coins, 38 Over the next three to six months, however, you should notice that you’re adding to it less frequently. Having a visual way to monitor your progress can be motivating and rewarding, Green says.
3. 39
One of Turow’s self-talk strategies is called “spot the success.” Every night before you go to bed, write down 10 things you did that day that benefited you, or somebody else. “No item is too small. You helped your friend, you got up early, you took exercise regularly,” she notes. “It generates this sense in your brain, like, ‘I am doing these good things.’”
4. Look for the gentle lessons.
Self-criticism can sometimes contain important information and even prove helpful, Turow says. You might, for instance, be hard on yourself for not keeping in good touch with your friends. That’s valuable information. If you’re upset with yourself for not making it to the gym, that could signal a desire for a healthier lifestyle. Turow advises noticing the criticism gently, and then learning from it. 40 Instead of “You’re not good at keeping in touch.” try “This is really important to me. I wonder how I can make it happen more often.”
A．Celebrate your wins.
B．Correcting negative thoughts isn’t easy.
C．you can work your way up to the positive ones later.
D．Fortunately, plenty of tools can help us talk more kindly to ourselves.
E．Shift how you talk to yourself, and change the message into a better one.
F．because that’s a sign that you’ve increased your awareness of your thought patterns.
G．The experience is a helpful way to separate yourself from critical thoughts, she says, rather than accepting them as your own.

When I was still a teen, I helped at the nursery of our community as an assistant for the new daycare program started for kids three to six years old.

Since the girl happened to have the most beautiful smile, capable of 45 a room, she was almost always one of the kids I’d do this game with just to 46 that smile.
Eventually, she got to the point that just telling her not to smile would lead to a giant smile. Not wanting to 47 , she would cover her face with her hands. So then the game was to see if I could “find” the smile she was 48 .
The trick was so 49 that I started to use it on her whenever she was dropped off. She would always be handed to me 50 loudly. I’d find some way to 51 her attention so she would listen to me. Then I would tell her not to smile. Her hands would 52 go to cover up a big smile, and after a brief game of “hunting” for the smile, she would stop crying. Then she would forget all about her 53 from her mother and happily run off to find some kids to play with.
I still have fond memories of that sweet little girl, her beautiful smiles, and how she 54 her mother that I was a(n) 55 worker.

When we are little kids, birthday parties are momentous occasions. They are our time to shine, and we love everything about them: the balloons, the games, the cake, the gifts, and so on.
After reading cool stories about police officers solving mysteries, Allen Miller thought the police were awesome, hoping to become one of them! So, when he had to choose a theme for his seventh birthday party—he went with his favorite: the police! And all he wanted for his birthday party was a model police car. He excitedly invited some of his friends and anxiously awaited the day. Unfortunately, none of them could make it to the party due to various reasons,
Allen’s mom Rachel wrestled with the challenging decision: should she cancel the party and save Allen the embarrassment of an empty party room He had been looking forward to the party and talking about it daily, so it would break his heart to cancel it.
Officer Frank Smith, who had already planned with Rachel and agreed to show up at the party, heard from Rachel that it might be canceled due to low attendance. That’s when he decided to save the day—he is a police officer after all! His duty is to serve and protect, and he decided to protect Allen from having a bad day, and serve him the most amazing seventh birthday party! Officer Smith got the whole local police to join in. “We like to be involved in our community. It’s not just about enforcing (执行) the law. We like to be there in the good times as well,” he explained to Rachel.
On the day of Allen’s party, Officer Smith picked up Rachel and Allen in his police car. The boy didn’t know where they were going, but was excited. They stopped at Town Hall, and officer Smith led them into the meeting room where a group of policemen were waiting to wish Allen a happy birthday.

There, a party was waiting for him. The moment Allen stepped inside, a chorus of “Happy Birthday” filled the meeting room, and he found himself surrounded by lots of police officers holding balloons. Officer Smith introduced him to all the officers, who gave him high fives. Allen was thrilled, and his eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked at the grand police-themed cake. As Allen cut into the cake with the help of his mom, the room erupted into cheers and laughter, adding to the joyful atmosphere. (82 words)
After they enjoyed the cake, officer Smith too out a gift bag. “It’s for you.” He presented the delicately wrapped parcel to Allen, who was stunned by the surprise. “Wow, a model police car! It looks exactly like the one we came here in! Thank you!” Officer Smith smiled. Allen hugged Officer Smith and thanked him again for making the otherwise crushing disappointment his time to shine. It was the local heroes who helped by being part of the community and inspiring the young soul in small but effective ways. (84 words)

M: In 2002, Emily and David Robinson made a decision to leave their high-paying jobs to pursue a life devoted to social service. This choice came about after they volunteered at a community center where people shared resources and supported each other. The experience moved the Robinsons deeply and in 2010, they established Global Sanitation Initiative, which aims to provide clean water and cleanliness facilities to poor communities worldwide. GSI projects are carried out by volunteers and rely on donated materials and expertise. The Robinsons firmly believe that community members should be actively involved in improving their own living conditions, so people receiving GSI's aid are also expected to contribute to the construction and maintenance of the water and cleanliness systems. In line with their philosophy of self-help, the Robinsons wanted to make sure that aid was not just given out freely. GSI services are offered at certain prices, ensuring affordability without compromising the organization's non-profit status. Currently, there is a global network of volunteers supporting GSI's mission. Why not join our efforts to help Global Sanitation Initiative bring about positive change around the world （停20秒）

The real gift I wanted was to be relieved of the emotional labor of a single task that had been nagging (唠叨) at the back of my mind. The clean house would simply be a bonus.(对我来说，礼物并不是打扫卫生本身，而是这一次我不用再负责家务了。我不需要打电话，获得多个报价，研究和比较每个服务，安排付款和安排约会。我真正想要的礼物是，从一直萦绕在我脑海里的单一任务的情感劳动中解脱出来。干净的房子只是额外的奖励。)”可知，作者想要的母亲节礼物是家庭清洁服务，因为这样她就可以不必承担寻找服务、安排付款和预约等任务，从而得到情感上的解脱。因此，她请求家庭清洁服务是为了给自己从家务事中解脱出来，享受一段休息时间。故选C。
25．词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文的“My husband waited for me to change my mind to an “easier” gift than housecleaning, something he could one-click order on Amazon.(我丈夫等着我改变主意，选择比打扫房间更“容易”的礼物，他可以在亚马逊上一键订购。)”再根据“disappointed(失望的)”可推测，作者的要求并没有改变。由此可推测，划线词unwavering为“不变的”之意。选项A“Unyielding (不屈的、坚定不移的)”；选项B“Undemanding (要求不高的)”；选项C“Unbearable (无法忍受的)”；选项D“Unreasonable (不合理的)”。故选A。
26．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Disappointed by my unwavering desire, the day before Mother’s Day he called a single service, decided they were too expensive, and promised to clean the bathrooms himself.(对我坚定不移的要求感到失望的是，在母亲节的前一天，他打电话给一家服务公司，认为他们太贵了，并承诺自己打扫浴室。)”可知，在母亲节前一天作者的丈夫决定自己打扫浴室。故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The real gift I wanted was to be relieved of the emotional labor of a single task that had been nagging (唠叨) at the back of my mind. The clean house would simply be a bonus.(我真正想要的礼物是，从一直萦绕在我脑海里的单一任务的情感劳动中解脱出来。干净的房子只是额外的奖励。)”可知，作者原本想要在母亲节收到一个家庭清洁服务作为礼物，这样她就可以从繁琐的家务事中解脱出来。而根据文章最后一段“But, I was gifted a necklace for Mother’s Day while my husband stole away to deep sweep the bathrooms, leaving me to tend to our children as the rest of the house fell into total mess…(但是，当我丈夫偷偷地去彻底打扫浴室时，我收到了母亲节的礼物一条项链，留下我照顾我们的孩子，而房子的其他地方则陷入了一团糟……)”可知，她的丈夫最终决定自己打扫浴室，而作者仍然需要照顾孩子，家里的其他地方则变得一团糟。由此可推测，作者认为自己丈夫并没有理解自己的需求。故选B。
28．C 29．B 30．A 31．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了3D打印珊瑚可以减轻珊瑚礁的压力，从而起到保护珊瑚礁的作用。。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段中第三句话“The algae inside corals’ tissues (组织) make use of the light to generate energy,and that energy is then transferred to the coral animal host. (珊瑚的组织内的藻类用光产生能量,之后能量被转移到珊瑚虫宿主身上)”可知，珊瑚组织内的藻类作用是利用光产生珊瑚虫宿主需要的能量。故选 C。
29． 细节理解题。 根据第二段中最后一句话“That animal host, in return, transfers certain by-products to the algae, so they have a symbiosis going on. (珊瑚虫宿主又反过来将某些副产品转移给藻类，这样它们就形成了共生关系)”可知，藻类在与珊瑚的共生关系中得到某些副产品。故选B 。
30．细节理解题。 根据第五段中最后一句话“The 3D-printed creation could be used as a medium to grow algae to produce bioener gy and also as a tool for studying the coral-algae symbiosis. (3D打印出来的珊瑚可用作媒介，来种植产生生物能源的藻类，也可以作为研究珊瑚与藻类共生关系的工具)”可知，科学家利用3D打印的珊瑚结构研究珊瑚与藻类的共生关系。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段的最后一句“But researchers have come up with an invention they think could help the reefs: 3D-printed corals. (但是研究人员想出了他们认为可以帮助珊瑚礁的发明：3D打印珊瑚)”以及最后一段中第二句话“So this is just the first step, where they created the animal host, but they are now continuing to further replicate this animal-algal symbiosis and developing model systems. Eventually, it would be nice that this can have direct applications in coral reef restoration. (因此这只是他们创造动物宿主的第一步，但他们在继续进一步复制这种动物与藻类共生关系并计划开发模型系统。当然，这项技术能够直接应用于珊瑚礁的修复就更好了)”可知，本篇文章主要介绍了3D打印珊瑚可以减轻珊瑚礁的压力，从而起到保护珊瑚礁的作用。所以“3D打印技术有望拯救珊瑚礁”适合作本文的标题。故选D。
32．D 33．B 34．A 35．D

(除了识别您的声音，显示图片，视频，新闻和天气外，它还可以跟踪您的睡眠)”和第三段中“If you put the Nest Hub beside your bed, it can follow your sleep.(如果你把Nest Hub放在床边，它可以跟随你的睡眠)”及第四段中“Google says the new Nest Hub will create reports each week that show how long and how well a person sleeps. (谷歌表示，新的Nest Hub将每周创建报告，显示一个人的睡眠时间和睡眠情况)”可知，Nest Hub是一个家庭助手设备，不用佩戴就可以追踪睡眠并会为用户生成报告。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new product from Google may help people solve their sleep problems, but some privacy rights groups are concerned. (谷歌的新产品可能会帮助人们解决睡眠问题，但一些隐私权组织对此表示担忧。)”以及第五段“For people who want to know more about their sleep, the device sounds like a good idea. But, people who pay attention to privacy are worried about what Google might do with the information it is gathering. (对于想要了解更多关于睡眠的人来说，该设备听起来是个好主意。但是，关注隐私的人担心谷歌可能会如何处理它收集的信息)”可知，隐私保护组织担心谷歌可能会滥用收集到的信息。故选B项。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Technology experts think Google may find a way for the Nest Hub to work with the FitBit. (技术专家认为，谷歌可能会找到一种让Nest Hub与FitBit合作的方法)”推知，谷歌收购FitBit的技术以改进Nest Hub，故选A项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new product from Google may help people solve their sleep problems, but some privacy rights groups are concerned. Google showed off its newest Nest Hub home assistant device(设备)on Tuesday. In addition to recognizing your voice, showing pictures, videos, news and weather, it can also track your sleep.(谷歌的一款新产品可能会帮助人们解决睡眠问题，但一些隐私权组织对此表示担忧。周二，谷歌展示了其最新的Nest Hub家庭助理设备。除了识别你的声音，显示图片、视频、新闻和天气，它还可以跟踪你的睡眠)”及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Nest Hub的睡眠追踪功能，售价，并解释了它的睡眠追踪功能，以及相关的隐私担忧，文章最后提到了谷歌收购FitBit可能的影响。D项“Google’s New Device May Track Your Sleep (谷歌的新设备可能会跟踪您的睡眠)”最适合概括全文。故选D项。
36．D 37．G 38．F 39．A 40．E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了克服消极自我批判的几种方法。
36．根据上文“But there’s a good reason to work on silencing self-criticism, which has been found to worsen depression, anxiety, disordered eating and etc.(但我们有充分的理由停止自我批评，因为研究发现，自我批评会加重抑郁、焦虑、饮食失调等症状)”以及后文“We asked experts to share their favorite ways to overcome critical self-talk.(我们请专家们分享他们最喜欢的克服批判性自言自语的方法)”可知，上文讲消极的自我批判会带来负面的影响，后文讲专家分享的解决方法，故本句与上文构成转折关系，tools和ways形成呼应。故D选项“幸运的是，很多工具可以帮助我们更友好地与自己交谈”符合语境，故选D。
37．根据上文“The first step to stop self-criticism is understanding where the thoughts originated, says Tiffany Green, a psychotherapist in Chicago. When her clients say negative things about themselves, she often asks them, “Where did this come from Who was the first person you heard say this about you ” The response tends to be revealing: maybe their mom called them lazy, or their grandmother told them they needed to lose weight. (芝加哥的心理治疗师蒂芙尼·格林说，停止自我批评的第一步是了解这些想法的来源。当她的客户说自己的坏话时，她经常问他们：“这是从哪里来的？你第一个听到这样说你的人是谁？”人们的反应往往很明显：也许他们的妈妈说他们懒惰，或者他们的祖母告诉他们需要减肥)”可知，所在的文段主要讲，要弄清楚消极自我批判的起源，并以Green和客户的沟通方式举例。The experience指前面的事例，同时she指代Green。故G选项“她说，这种经历是一种很有帮助的方式，可以让你把自己从批判性的想法中分离出来，而不是把它们当作自己的想法来接受”符合语境，故选G。
38．根据上文“Every time you catch yourself engaging in a critical thought, throw a coin or piece of paper into a jar. The goal in the beginning is to fill the jar with lots of coins(每当你发现自己陷入批判性思维时，就把一枚硬币或一张纸扔进罐子里。一开始的目标是用很多硬币填满罐子)”可知，起初罐内的硬币数量很多，是对思维模式刻意训练的证明。故F选项“因为这表明你已经提高了对自己思维模式的意识”符合语境，故选F。
39．根据本段内容“One of Turow’s self-talk strategies is called “spot the success.” Every night before you go to bed, write down 10 things you did that day that benefited you, or somebody else. “No item is too small. You helped your friend, you got up early, you took exercise regularly,” she notes. “It generates this sense in your brain, like, ‘I am doing these good things.’”(特罗的自我对话策略之一被称为“发现成功”。每天晚上睡觉前，写下10件你当天做的对自己或他人有益的事情。“任何东西都不会太小。你帮助你的朋友，你早起，你经常锻炼，”她说。“它会在你的大脑中产生这种感觉，比如，‘我在做这些好事。’”)”可知，要学会发现自己的成功，给予肯定和正面鼓励。故A选项“庆祝你的胜利”符合语境，故选A。
40．根据上文“Self-criticism can sometimes contain important information and even prove helpful, Turow says. You might, for instance, be hard on yourself for not keeping in good touch with your friends. That’s valuable information. If you’re upset with yourself for not making it to the gym, that could signal a desire for a healthier lifestyle. Turow advises noticing the criticism gently, and then learning from it.(特罗说，自我批评有时可以包含重要信息，甚至证明是有益的。例如，你可能会因为没有和朋友保持良好的联系而对自己很苛刻。这是很有价值的信息。如果你因为没有去健身房而心烦意乱，那可能意味着你想要一种更健康的生活方式。图罗建议温柔地注意批评，然后从中吸取教训)”可知，上文暗示，不要一味苛刻地自我批判，要温和对待，从中吸取教训。本句承接前一句，转变自我对话的方式，换一个更好的说法。故E选项“改变你对自己说话的方式，把信息变成更好的信息”符合语境，故选E。
