Passage 1
Things to Remember When You're Having a Bad Day
Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person. Feeling
down? Consider these things to remember when you're having a bad day.
No one promised life would be perfect.
________Don't base your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for
yourself. It is good to be ambitious, but you'll never be perfect. If you expect
otherwise, your life will be filled with disappointments.
________
Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. Don't kid yourself into thinking
success will come quickly. It isn't easy to be patient, but anything worth doing
requires time________
Without hard times, you wouldn't appreciate the good ones.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths.
When you go through hardships and decide not to give up, that is strength________.
It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail, but how else would you improve
yourself? If you look at failures as a part of your growing process, you'll stay positive
and follow your goals for as long as it takes.
It's OK to cry sometimes.
Do not apologize for crying. Without this feeling, we are only robots. Don't be
afraid of crying________Instead, it is an acceptable way to let go of your depressed
feelings. If you let those feelings build up without release, you'll have a much harder
time dealing with them later.
A.Don't get sad if you lose.
B.It isn't a sign of weakness.
C.Success doesn't happen overnight.
D.It's not OK to worry now and then.

(1)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据本段标题“No one promised life
would be perfect.” 可 知 , 没 有 人 会 承 诺 生 活 是 完 美 的 。 故 G.If you look for
perfection, you'll never be content.“如果你追求完美,那么你就会不满足现状,因
为没有事情是完美的”与本段标题吻合。选 G。
(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Trees that are slow to grow bear
the best fruit.”长得慢的树才能结出最好的果实。作者告诉我们遇见不好的事情时
要有耐心。C.Success doesn't happen overnight.“成功不会在一夜之间发生”与本段
中心句一致。故选 C。
(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Trees that are slow to grow bear
the best fruit.”长得慢的树才能结出最好的果实,可知,作者告诉我们遇见不好的
事情时要有耐心。所以 F.Remember: Rome was not built in a day.与第一句形成呼
应,都告诉我们做事要有耐心。选 F。
(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据本段的标题“Without hard times, you
wouldn't appreciate the good ones.”不经历风雨,怎么见彩虹?,可知,有时候困
难会转换成好的事情。所以 A.Don't get sad if you lose.“如果你失败也不要难过”与

(5)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据本段标题“It's OK to cry sometimes.”3
和空前“It's OK to cry sometimes. Do not apologize for crying.”有时候哭也没关系。
我们不要为哭道歉。也就是说哭不是懦弱的标志。有时候人是需要发泄压抑的情
绪的。故 B 正确。

You often find somebody who works around you complaining(抱怨) all the time,
don't you?________ About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers
sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive
patterns.
⒈Selfawareness
When a negative( 消 极 的 ) thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it.
Instead of telling yourself “That's a nice shirt, but I can't afford it , ” change the
message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.”________
Of course everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain,
the better you will feel.
⒉Distance yourself
________ Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the
fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this
seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand.
⒊Don't try to change complainers
If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social
event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of
something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a
target.________ If someone says, “I hate Mondays; weekends are too short,” try to
think, “I'm glad I rested up over the weekend, so I'm ready to make some
improvement on that big project.”
⒋________
When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at them by
asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?” In most cases, complainers don't 4
really want a solution( 解决方法). They just want to speak them out. If you make
them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone
and find someone else to complain to. If so, you will be happy.
A.Find solutions
B.Change responsibility
C.You have got a lot of company.
D.By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviors.
E.But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.
F.Whenever possible, escape from negative conversations.
G.You will never know what they are going to talk about.

When the kids are out of school, parents are eager to use the holidays for some
quality family time.________ While there's great concern among parents about the
impact of screens on physical activity and face-to-face communications, parental use
of screens is often overlooked. One recent report found that parents spend over nine
hours per day with screen media. It's no wonder that families find it hard to have
high-quality social interactions.
Want our kids to put down the phones and tablets?________ It's necessary that we
unplug when we ask our kids to do the same. Some family activities we create can
help us engage with our kids without the concern of screen time.
Why not leave the devices at home and go for a tech-free nature walk? It will be an
opportunity to make us more connected to the world beyond the screen. Focus on
being in the moment and kids may enjoy collecting plant seeds or stones.________
A board game night is ideal for bringing family members together and being
engaged. Moreover, playing games together fosters social interaction, cooperation,
and the development of Social Emotional Learning (SEL).________
Some other family activities are wonderfully fun without the use of electronic
devices. For example, take the kids swimming, or bring them to an indoor rock
climbing gym. Bake a cake for a neighbor or plant a garden.________ Your kids will
get lost in the activity, forgetting the devices.
To be clear, technology has many benefits to parents and children. However,
creating some tech-free time can help parents and kids feel more connected to each
other.

B. Even so, too much of a good thing can be bad for family time.
