Perfectionists think that if they don’t act perfectly, they are really bad or worthless. ____12____. For example, you imagine other people judge you very harshly for very small mistakes. Perfectionists set really unrealistic goals for themselves, such as, I will make honor roll every year or never miss a step in that dance sequence. ____13____.

With patience, you can gradually find the admirable characteristics of people around you.
The nature of giving is a good way to find out the good qualities in others. Being kind doesn’t just mean helping anyone financially. You can assist them with your advice, talent and so on.
____27____During this process, you will know how they deal with their problems in life yet don’t give up.
Talent adopts several forms and it puts people in a few extraordinary circumstances. Thus, you need to be flexible to discover good qualities in others. Some people you come across may have different attitudes towards life from you. ____28____
Nobody is perfect and everyone has some or other shortcomings. However, shortcomings are useful to you.____29____Start by first realizing the shortcomings in others and in this process, you can easily find out the good qualities they already have.

Steps to Take to Become a Morning Person
Seek out as much natural light as possible.
The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light, says Jennifer Martin, president of the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. That’s because light suppresses melatonin, a hormone that plays an important role in circadian rhythm. ____31____
Ease in gradually.
____32____ You could force yourself to get up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks. But for some people — like those who need to drive long distances — those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says.
____33____
A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night — so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule. Starting at least an hour before you hit the sack, cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, experts advise. ____34____
Plan something to look forward to.
____35____ “Now is the time to go buy your favorite coffee or pick up some pastries to have when your alarm goes off at 5 a. m.,” she says. “You’re not dreading it if you think of that.”
A.Reschedule your bedtime.
B.Wind down in the evenings.
C.The sun is the driver of our internal clock.
D.There are two ways to approach your journey to early rising.
E.To tempt you out of bed, Martin suggests treating yourself to something special.
F.Being exposed to artificial light in the late evening could interfere with your ability to fall asleep.
G.They also recommend rethinking the curtains you might use to foster a very dark sleeping environment.
During the process of learning English, we students are bound to run across a variety of difficulties. When I was in senior high school, vocabulary was the biggest headache for me. There were always a sea of new words for me to cope with. Apparently, I couldn’t interpret the hidden meaning of a complex sentence,much less a well-written text. Worse still, I couldn’t memorize the new words.___36___Hopefully, he offered me some important suggestions, which have helped me out. Here are some practical tips I’d like to share with you.
Read more.___37___Be consistent. As well as improving your vocabulary, you’ll also keep updated and backdated, your general knowledge will increase, and you’ll be an intelligent, well-rounded person.
___38___Dive in. Read entries for words you aren’t yet familiar with. This requires the ownership of a quality dictionary to make it more interesting, so look for a dictionary that has lengthy explanations on the origins and uses of words, as these will go a long way to help you remember the word and enjoy using your dictionary.
Try to guess the words in context. When you see an unfamiliar word, do not skip over it impatiently. Try to puzzle out its possible meaning in the context of the sentence, then look it up in the dictionary and confirm its definition.___39___
As for memorizing the words, figure out the spelling rules and classify them in chunks.
Learning is endless. To be a lifelong learner definitely requires a lot. ___40___Creating habits to help us learn and use the most accurate words in our language will make it easier to communicate, write, and think.
A.Read the dictionary.
B.A dictionary counts.
C.Later, I turned to my English teacher for help.
D.This is the most effective way for me, I should say!
E.As a result, I was much troubled by my limited vocabulary.
F.But we can become a learned person by building our vocabulary.
G.Try to read at least one book and several magazines every week.
How to Organize Your Digital Files
Searching for a file on your computer is a whole lot easier than digging through a pile of papers, yet it’s far from being a perfect system. Lately, it’s been hit-or-miss for me. ____41____ I hope some of these tips will help you.
Use “resources”, “in progress”, “final”, and “scrap” folders for projects.
There are plenty of ways to title your subfolders for projects, but one of the most intuitive(使用简便的) is to have folders for stages of your project. ____42____
The “resources” folder is for things like images, documents, and other items that are needed to complete your project. ____43____“Final,” as you might imagine, is for the project files once the project has been approved and is done. “Scrap” is for anything you want to save from the project that doesn’t belong in the “final” folder.
____44____
It’s near impossible to find a photo quickly when you have thousands of photos all named something like “20211108_0978234.jpg.” So for photos, I like to have a date structure and folders for key events or categories, such as: 2021 >01 (for the month)>2021-01 Mom and Dad 50 Anniversary LA.This way, you can either browse your photos by year and month or search for folders that include “Mom”, “Dad”, “Anniversary”, or “LA.”
Use tags.
In addition to creating a folder structure that works for you, consider tagging files. ____45____ Say, for example, you want to see all of your photos for all of your holiday celebrations. You can set up a tag for “holidays.” And then to narrow down the results, you can search using the tag.
A.With tags, you can connect multiple files across folders.
B.For photos, use a date structure and keywords for your folders.
C.This way, you can always know which is the final project file to grab.
D.The standards will keep files organized and make them easier on the eye.
E.“In progress” is for the current working version or versions of the project.
F.To find files more efficiently, I’ve been rearranging my digital filing system.
G.Move your photos to a more specific folder or back them up on an external storage device.
Do you remember what it is like to be a kid?____46____Wake up. Get dressed. Brush your teeth. Eat your breakfast. Get in the car. Go to school. Sometimes kids listen to the instructions, but sometimes they don’t. And when they don’t, that can be very depressing for parents. So how can parents get their kids to act accordingly?
One strategy widely recommended by children’s health professionals is to engage your child in “special time”. For at least 5 minutes a day, join your child in activities like playing with dolls-anything that doesn’t have a right or wrong way to play. Don’t ask questions or give commands. ____47____It gives your child a chance to interact with you without the stress of having to follow directions, which in turn strengthens the bond between you.
Research has shown that this kind of playtime can be helpful in treating disruptive (捣乱的) conduct in children. According to a 2017 review of literature, special time has long been regarded as an “effective prevention for many emotional and behavioral difficulties” since it was developed in the 1970s. ____48____
If you’re ready to try special time with your child, keep these in your mind. Repeat back some of what they say. If they say “and it crashes,” you’re going to say “and it crashes.” The repetition shows your child you understand them and that you’re listening. ____49____. Rather than saying “good job,” because kids hear that all day long, say “I love the way you stack (堆) those blocks high.”
____50____But give it a week or two, and you’ll find that your child won’t want it to end. The best way to find out if something is good or successful is to test it yourself.
A.This is your child’s time to be in charge.
B.So much of the day is directed by adults.
C.Show enthusiasm while playing with your child.
D.The practice often feels awkward for adults at first.
E.Give your child specific praise as you play together.
F.It increases the closeness between your child and you.
G.It’s also been shown to boost concentration and social skills in children.
Most of us regard chores as annoying tasks to get done, but the evidence shows they are actually good for us.
For some, cooking is very enjoyable, while for others it’s just a daily chore.__51__, cooking regularly can have some serious benefits for your health. The most obvious benefit is that the more you cook basic ingredients, the less processed food you’ll end up eating. As we know, processed food is often short of nutrients and can hide several questionable ingredients____52____
Another less obvious benefit is that cooking can lower stress levels. We know any type of creativity lowers stress and benefits overall health. This certainly includes making food. Planning a recipe, chopping produce, adding seasoning,making adjustments — these are all parts of the creative process of cooking. ____53____ , and then enjoy the creativity of cooking while you’re at it!
____54____Sharing housework evenly can improve a couple’s marital happiness. And for parents, giving kids regular chores has several benefits. It may be a difficult task to get them to happily complete their chores but, nevertheless, doing housework and other tasks can give them higher self-belief, make them more responsible, and enable them to better deal with frustration and delayed satisfaction. ____55____ Then they build a positive circle.
So it’s fair to say that household chores shouldn’t be looked down on anymore. In fact, it might be time to embrace your to-do list to better your health, and get your family involved as well!
A.So go ahead to try some new recipes
B.The same goes for most fast food options
C.Although cooking is not heavy housework
D.But even if you fall into the second category
E.Thus too many chores will add an extra burden to your kids
F.All of this usually translates into better success in school as well
G.Dividing housework among family members leads to a better life
Being “outdoorsy” can stir up images of big beautiful national parks, snowy slopes or thick forests. ___56___. They don’t require the time, money or physical mobility of a big trip. Here are some steps you can take to get closer to nature.
Think of time in nature as a “multivitamin”—it’s best to take it every day. ___57___. If you’re spending hours staring at a computer screen, you might feel pretty exhausted afterward. But if you get breaks or even micro restorative moments by getting outside, you recover some energy to use that mental muscle so you can do things that are hard to do.
Find the people who enjoy the same activities. It takes some of the pressure off trying to explore the outdoors alone. ___58___In a world where we’re constantly flooded with images of what an “outdoorsy person” should look like, finding your people might feel like a challenge.
___59___. You can bring the outdoors into your world. We are a part of nature, and nature is a part of us-regardless of where we are.
Need a quick break from your “work screen time” for some “fun screen time”? There’s a nature fix for that: Check out the Find That Lizard game on your phone, where you have to find a lizard camouflaged (伪装) in its natural environment. ___60___You can barbecue in your yard or the park, or open a window to get some fresh air. These are great options if you’re living in a city, or if you’re on a budget.

G.Remember, you don’t have to be outdoors to experience nature.
A Simple Trick to Resist Junk Food
You’re tired and hungry. Then you catch something delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. It is fried chicken! ____61____ A new research says that being exposed to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.
Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose’s attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? What will happen if you’re standing in line after a couple of minutes? ____62____ And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
The results of a series of experiments show that extended exposure of more than two minutes to junk food smell leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell. ____63____ That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth.
____64____ When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly influenced. The reason for this is that healthy food is not connected with reward in our brain and therefore has little influence on what we desire.
So next time you’re feeling you don’t have the willpower to resist that French fries, it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. ____65____
A.But wait a minute before you order.
B.It’s a response that has been researched.
C.Get the satisfaction with none of the junk food.
D.It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E.However, it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.

During the summer, we are very handy when it comes to work. In the morning, we wake up full of energy, rest and motivated to give our best at work or school. Energy does not leave us even during the afternoon. It is not until around eight o’clock in the evening that we begin to feel a little tired. ____66____ Don’t worry you are not alone. That’s why, in this article, we will tell you about the effective ways to overcome autumn fatigue.
Focus on diet
If you pour poor quality fuel in the car, it won’t drive as it should. Our body also works like that. If you eat fast food, processed and heavy foods, you cannot expect to be full of energy. ____67____ If you feel tired in the autumn, your diet is the factor you should start with. A balanced and healthy meal is the best choice.
Exercise regularly
____68____ It improves overall health, quality of sleep, helps to lose weight, improves cognitive function and even has a positive effect on overall feeling of fatigue. Each person should engage in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 74-minute high-intensity physical activity per week. Over time, you will realize that even when you are tired and you are looking forward to exercise. ____69____
Make yourself happy
You have surely experienced time when you don’t feel like yourself, you don’t feel like doing anything, you feel under the weather and then something comes along that makes you happy. ____70____ That’s exactly why you should enjoy your life. There is nothing wrong with making yourself happy.

Over the past century, science has made lots of advances in understanding the meanings of body language. Here are some of the most useful findings.
Open palm(手掌)
Have you noticed how someone swears to tell the truth in a court of law? He usually puts one hand on a religious book and raises the other hand into the air, palm facing whoever he is speaking to. He does this because an open palm has been associated with truth and honesty throughout our history. ___71___ . So we cannot be a threat to anyone.
Finger pointing
If someone is closing their palm and pointing with their index finger, then he is trying to display power, though it doesn’t always work out. Psychologists say, the pointed finger is used like a symbolic stick with which the speaker tries to beat his listeners. ___72___ .
Forced smile
Researchers say, smile is all about the lines around the eyes. ___73___ . If he is trying to force a smile, you won’t see the lines and the facial expression tends to be very awkward. Making a genuine smile-also known as a Duchenne smile-is nearly impossible to do on command. So look for a lack of lines around the eyes to detect a forced smile.
___74___
In the same way that real smiles shape the lines around the eyes, worry, shock or fear can cause people to raise their eyebrows in discomfort. So if someone praises your new hairstyle or clothes with his eyebrows raised, he or she may not be sincere.
Crossed arms
___75___ While crossed arms typically indicate that someone is closed off, people are also more likely to cross their arms when it’s cold and when their chair doesn’t have an armrest. Be aware of the environment before making a decision or changing strategy based on these types of behaviors.
A.Lowered eyebrows
B.Raised eyebrows
C.When he is just pretending to smile, they don’t
D.We also use this gesture to show that our hands are empty

G.It’s easy to detect body-language signs, but it’s important to be aware of the context
Late-night eating has long been connected to a higher risk for obesity or overweight, which can pose all kinds of risks to your heart.
____76____ A recent study found that when meals are delayed by four hours — say eating at 10:30 PM rather than 6:30 PM and keeping all other lifestyle factors the same, people burn fewer calories, have stronger appetite, and experience changes in fat tissue that promote weight gain, according to the study’s author.
The study was rather small, featuring only 16 overweight or obese people. ____77____ In the weeks before, they maintained a regular sleep schedule and stuck to identical diets and meal times at home. Each participant reported on their hunger and appetite, and provided data needed. Besides feeling hungrier, burning fewer calories, and showing changes in fat tissue, late eating also impacted the hunger-regulating hermones (荷尔蒙) ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin is the hormone that tells you when to eat, while leptin tells you when you’ve had enough. ____78____
The solution may be relatively simple. Keeping your eating schedule in line with your body’s natural clock makes sense. ____79____ It can minimize weight gain and reduce the risk for high blood pressure and other heart disease risk factors. Besides, try eating a big breakfast, slightly smaller lunch, and small dinner with healthy snacks throughout the day. ____80____ So pay attention to portion (食物的一份) sizes and what you’re eating.
A.Of course, not everyone’s natural body clock is the same.
B.Researchers may have learned why meal timing could impact fat gain.
C.A survey has revealed that a growing number of people are overweight.
D.They each stuck to a strict early or late meal schedule for one day in a lab.
E.Remember, what you eat and how much is likely more important than when.
F.Eating more early in the day and less as it progresses may be the best strategy.
G.The study found that leptin dropped by 16 percent when people delayed their meals.
Have you ever looked up at the clock at the end of the workday and felt that you just didn’t get enough done? ____81____Here are some ways that might be of some help to you.
Set reasonable goals. We can create goals to help shape our paths. This can be an effective way to improve our work efficiency. ____82____ When your goal is too high to achieve or too low, you can’t clarify it or properly focus your mind and efforts on it.
Create a routine you love. Develop a routine that puts you in the best state to be productive at work. Routines look different for everyone. When you create a routine that makes you feel happy, healthy and clear-minded, your work efficiency will be greatly improved. ____83____
Put away your digital devices. While heavy computer use might be part of your job, digital devices can be a major distraction (使人分心的事). ____84____ You may find that your memory improve when you’re visiting something done by hand instead of typing it into a computer.
____85____ If your focus is stuck on a project where you can’t make any progress, you’ll have poor work efficiency. Changing your focus can help you change your state, so when you return to work, you’ll feel refreshed. Having short periods of relaxation during your workday, you’ll find that your work efficiency naturally increases.
A.Take breaks.
B.Work on important tasks.
C.Having practical goals is important.
D.Many people tend to set easy goals.

Hybridization occurs in both plants and animals. ____87____ What’s more, many plants that people eat, from strawberries to carrots, corn and potatoes, have been created by hybridization.
Cross-breeding(杂交)sometimes occurs when animals’ normal territory overlaps(部分重叠). ____88____ The grolar bear is a hybrid that happens when grizzly and polar bears mate. As the environment warms, grizzlies in Alaska and Canada wander further north, bringing them into contact with polar bears.
Artificial mixing often happens in zoos, where different species that don’t normally meet in the wild can be introduced to each other. Ligers(lion and tiger hybrids)are unlikely to occur in nature, because the only place that their habitats overlap is the Gir Forest in India. ____89____ Mixed species are more likely to be born with health issues than other animals. Most hybrids born in zoos are infertile, which means they are unable to have babies. However, many cross-breeds born in the wild, like the grolar bear, can have their own babies.

Engage in positive daydreaming. This involves first turning your attention inward. Try traveling with your mind to someplace enjoyable. ____91____.

____92____. Are you a person who is sharp-minded in the morning? Or is a night owl more of your style? Either way, it doesn’t matter as long as you schedule your most important projects during your brain’s periods of best performance. ____93____. Instead, reserve the best time for the big stuff.

Moral courage is the ability that allows us to face our fears and to conquer our darkest fears. It’s the ability to face the future without knowing what is certain. It’s the ability to stand tall and confront those who oppose us and those who prevent us from realizing who we are and what we are.____97____, even though there are risks that stand in your way. Sara Anderson once said,” It takes great courage to faithfully follow what we know to be true.”
____98____. It was because of moral courage that Mahatma Gandhi was able to make India free from the British rule. He fought bravely against them without the use of any weapon by presenting great moral courage. In this way, he also became a great example for the people of the whole world. It is not that we remember Gandhi because of his body or beauty. ____99____.
Moral courage is essential not only for a noble life, but a happy one. Without moral courage, we have no control over our lives. Our fears destroy our spirit and make us trapped in depression. Mark Twain said, “Courage is not the absence of fear but the resistance to fear and the mastery (控制) of fear.” If our fears cause us to lose confidence in the power of virtue, we will lose something very precious.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章提出了 5 个建立信任的小建议,包括积极倾听、表达自己的担忧、循序渐进、不要预先假设以及适当冒险。
1.本段的小标题为“Listen with care(仔细倾听)”,因此本段主旨为倾听他人在建立信任中的重要性。联系下文“As they open up to you, you’ll feel more confident about conveying your inner thoughts in return.(当他们向你敞开心扉,你会更自信地传达你的内在想法作为回报。)”中的“in return”可以看出来这表明信任的双向特征,因此选择C选项“Trust is a two-way connection(信任是一种双向的联系)”符合上下文语境。故选C。
2.本段小标题为“Communicate your worries(表达你的担忧)”,本段主旨为跟新朋友表达自己的难处和担忧。联系下文“We subconsciously apply these to a new friendship.(我们下意识地把这些应用到一段新的友谊中。)” 中的“these”需要对应前文的复数形式的名词,D选项“Our ability to trust is influenced by our learning and experiences(我们的信任能力受到我们的学习和经验的影响)”中的“learning and experiences”对应恰当,说明了我们会下意识地将过去经历应用于新的一段友情,符合语境。故选D。
3.本段小标题为“Take your time(慢慢来)”,主旨为建立信任要慢慢来。结合后文的“After all, a trustworthy friend doesn’t push others to go all in at the very beginning. (毕竟,一个值得信赖的朋友在最开始并不会强行让他人付出全部。)”,后文中的“push”对应E选项“A milder start with new friends will make them feel more comfortable(和新朋友相处时温和一点会让他们感觉更舒服)”中的“a milder start”,相反的对照进一步说明一个温和的开始会让朋友们觉得更舒服,因此后文在进一步解释本句,符合语境。故选E。
4.对比其它小标题,应选择祈使句。本段首句为“Set aside your doubts for a while.(先把你的怀疑放在一边。)”,同时结合本段中“It can be easy to fall into a trap thinking that this new friend is going to disappoint you in some way that you’ve experienced before. (你很容易陷入一个陷阱,认为这个新朋友会以你以前经历过的某种方式让你失望。)”,表明了很容易让之前的经历让你预判这个新朋友会使你失望。因此本段主旨为不要让你过去的事情形成预设和偏见,因此选择A选项“Don’t assume(不要想当然)”符合本段的内容和结构要求。故选A。
5.本段标题为“Take a risk(冒点险)”,本段想要阐述建立信任需要迈出第一步,承担走出舒适区的风险。联系上一句的“Put yourself into a situation where you need to put a little faith into the other person.(让自己置身于需要对他人抱有一点信心的环境中。)”说明了本句需要出现“a situation”的具体场景,因此F选项的“You can book an activity to spend time together or arrange to go somewhere new(你可以预定一个活动来共度时光,或者安排去一个新的地方)”符合语境。同时,联系后一句的“Breaking the ice can be challenging, but if you both step outside of your comfort zone a little, trust will be rooted in this new friendship easily.(打破坚冰是很有挑战性的,但是如果你们都稍微走出自己的舒适区,信任就会很容易在这段新的友谊中扎根。)”中的“the ice”为特指,因此本句中需要出现具体的“the ice”,因此选择F选项“You can book an activity to spend time together or arrange to go somewhere new(你可以预定一个活动来共度时光,或者安排去一个新的地方)”跟后文的“breaking the ice”联系紧密,符合语境。故选F。

In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says.(你可以强迫自己每天在你想要的时间起床,知道在过渡期间你会感到疲劳,但在几周内就会自然地开始早睡。但对于一些人来说,比如那些需要长途驾驶的人,转换到新时间表后最初几天的疲惫是不安全的。在这种情况下,马丁建议逐渐进入早起鸟的生活。她说:“我建议人们换半小时,等几天,再换半小时,等几天,然后再换半小时。”)”可知,本段主要说明了开启早起的具体方法,故D选项“有两种方法来开启你的早起之旅”符合语境,故选D。
33.根据本段内容“A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night—so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule. Starting at least an hour before you hit the sack, cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, experts advise.(固定的就寝时间并不像每天起床时间一样重要,但确保睡眠充足仍然很重要。大多数人每晚至少应该睡7个小时,所以当你过渡到新的作息时间时,你可能需要一点点地提前就寝时间。专家建议,至少在睡觉前一小时开始,减少你接触强光的时间)”可知,本段主要说明了确保晚上的睡眠充足,空处为本段小标题,应体现晚上放松来确保睡眠质量的观点。故B选项“晚上放松一下”符合语境,故选B。

61.根据空后的“A new research says that being exposed to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.(一项新的研究表明,接触垃圾食物的气味至少两分钟实际上可以帮助你做出更健康的食物选择。)”可知,选择食物前与先接触食物味道至少两分钟,所以设空处应与等待时间有关,A选项“But wait a minute before you order.(但是在订购前请稍等片刻。)”与空后的内容吻合。故选A项。
62.根据空前的问题“What will happen if you’re standing in line after a couple of minutes?(如果您在几分钟后排队会发生什么?)”可知,空后应对此问题做出回答,D选项“It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.(它不像刚才那样不可抗拒。)”给出答案,同时句中的“just moments ago”与上文“a couple of minutes”相照应。故选D项。

64.根据空后的“When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly influenced.(当检查到健康食品的气味时,食物选择没有受到深远的影响。)”可知,该段落讲述的是接触到健康食物的产生的影响,而空前段落讲述的是接触到垃圾食物产生的影响,所以设空处应为过渡句,表示转折关系,E选项“However, it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.(然而,健康食品的气味并非如此。)”符合逻辑。故选E项。

67.上文“If you eat fast food, processed and heavy foods, you cannot expect to be full of energy. (如果你吃快餐、加工食品和重磅食品,你就不能指望精力充沛)”说明空格处讲的是吃快餐、加工食品和重磅食品对健康的影响,因此空处应该承接上文,继续描述给你身体带来的影响,A项“你的身体也不能正常工作”符合语境,故选A。
68.根据段落标题“Exercise regularly (定期锻炼)”以及下文“It improves overall health, quality of sleep, helps to lose weight, improves cognitive function and even has a positive effect on overall feeling of fatigue (它改善整体健康、睡眠质量、有助于减肥、改善认知功能,甚至对整体疲劳感有积极影响)”说明运动的重要性,因此B项“运动无疑对健康有积极的影响”符合语境,故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解读了几个常见的肢体语言的含义。
71.根据后句“So we cannot be a threat to anyone. (所以我们不能对任何人构成威胁。)”及常识可知,张开手掌这个姿势表示我们手是空的,所以不能对任何人构成威胁。所以选择项D“We also use this gesture to show that our hands are empty(我们也用这个手势来表示我们的手是空的)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
72.根据上句“Psychologists say, the pointed finger is used like a symbolic stick with which the speaker tries to beat his listeners. (心理学家说,竖着的手指就像一根象征性的棍子,说话者试图用它来打击听众。)”可知,竖着手指是打击听众,从而会使观众产生负面情绪。所以选择项F“Therefore, it usually leads to negative feelings in the audience (所以这通常会导致观众产生负面情绪)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
73.根据前句“Researchers say, smile is all about the lines around the eyes.(研究人员表示,微笑与眼睛周围的纹路有关。)”和后句“If he is trying to force a smile, you won’t see the lines and the facial expression tends to be very awkward. (如果他试图强颜欢笑,你就看不出他的纹路,他的面部表情也会很尴尬。)”可知,真正会心笑的时候,眼圈周围会出现大量的鱼尾纹。所以选择项E“When someone is smiling joyfully, a lot of lines will appear (当一个人快乐地微笑时,会出现很多纹路。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
74.这里为本段小标题。根据下文“In the same way that real smiles shape the lines around the eyes, worry, shock or fear can cause people to raise their eyebrows in discomfort. So if someone praises your new hairstyle or clothes with his eyebrows raised, he or she may not be sincere. (就像真正的微笑会塑造眼睛周围的皱纹一样,担心、震惊或恐惧也会让人不舒服地扬起眉毛。所以,如果有人扬起眉毛称赞你的新发型或新衣服,他或她可能不是真心的。)”可知,作者的目的是教读者如何辨别假恭维:只有口是心非、担心露马脚时,眉毛才会扬起来。所以选择项B“Raised eyebrows (扬起眉毛)”作为本段小标题最为合适。故选B。
75.根据后文“While crossed arms typically indicate that someone is closed off, people are also more likely to cross their arms when it’s cold and when their chair doesn’t have an armrest. Be aware of the environment before making a decision or changing strategy based on these types of behaviors. (双臂交叉通常表明某人对外界很封闭,但当天气寒冷或椅子没有扶手时,人们也更有可能交叉双臂。在根据这些类型的行为做出决定或改变策略之前,要了解环境。)”可知,解读身体语言时不能太教条,应该兼顾当时的具体环境才有意义。所以选择项G“It’s easy to detect body-language signs, but it’s important to be aware of the context (肢体语言信号很容易察觉,但了解语境也很重要)”符合上下文语境。故选G。

97.根据该句后的“even though there are risks that stand in your way (即使你的道路上有危险)”可知,此处与前文构成转折关系,强调即使有危险,但是依旧会坚持去做。E选项“But most importantly, it’s the ability to stand up for what’s right. (但最重要的是,它是一种坚持正义的能力。)”符合语境,故选E。
98.根据后文“It was because of moral courage that Mahatma Gandhi was able to make India free from the British rule. (正是由于道德上的勇气,圣雄甘地才能够使印度摆脱英国的统治。)”可知,此处列举甘地的非暴力抗议事例,可知道义勇气有改变世界的力量。G选项“The potential of showing moral courage has the power of changing the world (展现道德勇气的潜力具有改变世界的力量)”引起下文,指出道德勇气能够改变世界,前后承接。故选G。
99.根据前文“He fought bravely against them without the use of any weapon by presenting great moral courage. In this way,he also became a great example for the people of the whole world. It is not that we remember Gandhi because of his body or beauty. (他没有使用任何武器勇敢地与他们作战,展示出极大的道德勇气,用这种方式,他也成为了全世界人民的榜样。我们记住甘地并不是因为他的身材或美貌。)”可知,此处强调甘地的道德勇气给世界带来的正面影响,我们应该永远记住他。F选项“We remember him because of the great ideas and principles of his life (我们缅怀他,是因为他一生的伟大思想和原则)”承接前文,符合语境,故选F。
100.根据后文表示转折的句子“but it is the best marker of true character and a virtue others can be proud of. (但它是真正品格的最好标志,也是别人可以引以为傲的美德。)”可知,此处与设空处构成转折关系。C选项“People with moral courage rarely get medals. (有道德勇气的人很少获得奖牌。)”指出,虽然有道德勇气的人很少获得赞誉,但是这种美德是人格最好的标志。符合语境。故选C。
