　Building Trust in a Relationship Again

　　Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.36 Trust is a risk.But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.

　　Unfortunately，we’ve all been victims of betrayal.Whether we’ve been stolen from，lied to，misled，or cheated on，there are different levels of losing trust.Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore.37 It’s understandable，but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again，we have some steps you can take to get you there.

　　?38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.

　　?39 If you’ve been betrayed，you are the victim of your circumstance.But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”.At some point in all of our lives，we’ll have our trust tested or violated.

　　?You didn’t lose “everything”.Once trust is lost，what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle，look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.40 Instead，it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

　　A.Learn to really trust yourself.

　　B.It is putting confidence in someone.

　　C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

　　D.Remember that you can expect the best in return.

　　E.They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.

　　F.This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.

　　G.Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.

　　36.答案 B

　　解析 第一句Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.(信任是我们从以往经历中获得的习得行为。)是对trust的解释。选项B中的it指代上文出现的trust，并且继续解释 trust的含义;putting confidence in someone(对某人寄托信任)，故选B项。注意：选项B与第一句为顺承关系。

　　37.答案 E

　　解析 选项E与上文能形成因果关系。They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.(他们曾经受过严重伤害，不能容忍这种事情再次发生。)是上一句Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore.(有时候人们就是不能再信任别人。)的原因。并且与下一句It’s understandable...(这是可以理解的……)有顺承关系。

　　38.答案 A

　　解析 空格位于段首，根据文章结构分析，极有可能是祈使句。并且选项A.Learn to really trust yourself.(学会真正信任你自己。)与空格后的Having confidence in yourself形成同义复现。trust yourself相当于have confidence in yourself。

　　39.答案 C

　　解析 空格位于段首，根据文章结构分析，极有可能是祈使句。下文中If you’ve been betrayed，you are the victim of your circumstance.But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”.(如果你遭遇了背叛，那么你就成为客观环境的受害者。但是成为受害者与以“受害者的心态”活着是有区别的。)反复出现victim 一词，而选项C中的关键词也为victim，形成原词复现。选项C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.(不要把自己当作受害者。)起到总起本段的作用。

　　40.答案 G

解析 Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.(看到事情的积极方面并不意味着你对发生的事情视而不见。)与下一句Instead，it’s a healthy way...for positive...(相反，这是一个健康的方式……)形成转折关系。并且选项中的positive与下文的positive形成原词复现。

This Way to Dreamland

　　Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant，especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.71 They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.

　　But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.72 Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?

　　So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?

　　First，understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.73 And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming，try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple，like taking a shower or walking，or even making meaningless drawings.

　　It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate.“Mindfulness”，being focused，is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.74

　　Finally，you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.75

　　Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

　　A.Having interesting things to think about also helps.

　　B.They stare off into space and wander by themselves.

　　C.Without wandering minds，we wouldn’t have relativity，Coke or Post-it notes.

　　D.At one time，daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.

　　E.It involves slow，steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.

　　F.Daydreams are often very simple and direct，quite unlike sleep dreams，which may be hard to understand.

　　G.Therefore，it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.

　　71.答案 B

　　解析 本段说的是大众印象中的“做白日梦”有哪些弊端，所以只能从B、D两项中进行选择，再结合此空前后They can...和They annoy...句式结构可确定B项为正确答案。

　　72.答案 C

　　解析 本段讲了“做白日梦”的许多好处。结合空后句中的such ideas and inventions以及选项中的relativity，Coke or Post-it notes可以确定C项为正确答案。

　　73.答案 A

　　解析 本段主要讲如何做才能使自己获得“做白日梦”的机会。结合空前的will help和选项中的also helps可知，A项“想一些有趣的事情也有帮助(有助于进入‘做白日梦’的境界)”为正确答案。

　　74.答案 E

　　解析 本段主要讲如何避免不合时宜地“做白日梦”。空前提到“集中注意力是一些人用来避免入睡的一种工具”，E项中的calm and attentive(沉着和专心)与此相符，选项中的it指代mindfulness。

　　75.答案 G

解析 根据前一句中...you never know what wonderful idea might strike...可知，此处是建议身边放一个笔记本或一台录音机，以便随时记下或录下你的好想法，所以应选择G项。

Evaluating Sources(来源) of Health Information

Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation.A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information.Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information，how to separate fact from opinion，how to recognize poor reasoning，and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.71

Go to the original source.Media reports often simplify the results of medical research.Find out for yourself what a study really reported，and determine whether it was based on good science.Think about the type of study.72

Watch for misleading language.Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to”or is “associated with”an outcome；this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.73 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.

Use your common sense.If a report seems too good to be true，probably it is.Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.74 Evaluate “scientific”statements carefully，and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)．

75 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration，but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.

Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.

A．Make choices that are right for you.

B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something.

C．Be sure to work through the critical questions.

D．And examine the findings of the original research.

E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.

F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.

G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

71．答案 G

解析 通读全文可知，本文为“总——分——总”结构。第一段简要提出我们要学会分析来自各种渠道的健康信息，下文接着就如何对这些信息进行分类整理给予一些建议。

72．答案 D

解析 根据该段作为主题句的第一句Go to the original source.(去探寻最初的来源。)可知，这一段都是围绕这个话题展开的，D项中的the original research与主题句相照应。

73．答案 F

解析 F项与第三段的主题句Watch for misleading language.相关，其中incorrectly explained与misleading相照应。

74．答案 B

解析 由空格前的Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.(对广告中所包含的信息一定要特别当心。)及该段中的be aware of quackery(警惕江湖骗术)可知，B项(广告的目的是卖出商品)符合该段语境。为了达到这个目的，商品的广告中可能包含虚假信息。

75．答案 A

解析 由该段中but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us可知，尽管我们有来自家人及朋友的大量信息，但归根结底还是要依靠我们自己来作出正确的选择。
