(1)联系上文题。根据上文 Here's a riddle:What do traffic jams,long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common?There's one answer(这里有一个谜语:交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期开始有什么共同之处?只有一个答案)可知,上述三种情况的共同点就是要有耐心。G选项"这些都是我们需要一点额外耐心的情况"符合语境。故选G。
(2)语境衔接题。根据上文Thankfulness has a lot of benefits:Research shows it makes us happier,less stressed and even more optimistic(感恩有很多好处:研究表明,感恩让我们更快乐,压力更小,甚至更乐观)以及下文 " Showing thankfulness can foster self control," said Ye Li,researcher at the University of California.(加利福尼亚大学的研究员叶丽(音译)说:"表达感激可以培养自我控制能力。")可知,这里主要讲的是感恩的好处。E选项"它也可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心"是感恩的第二个好处,符合语境。故选E。
(3)语境衔接题。根据上文Instant gratification( 满足) may seem like the most " feel good" option at the time,but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run.And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice.(即时满足似乎是当时最能让人"感觉良好"的选择,但心理学研究表明,从长远来看,等待实际上会让我们更快乐。我们养成等待习惯的唯一方法就是练习。)以及下文Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake.You'll soon find that the more patience you practice,the more you start to apply it to other,more annoying situations(把你最喜欢的节目推迟到周末再看,或者多等10分钟再去吃蛋糕。你很快就会发现,你练习的耐心越多,你就越能把它应用到其他更恼人的情况中。)可知,这里主要讲要练习等待的习惯,空后给出具体实施建议如多等十分钟再去吃蛋糕等,这是生活中可以锻炼等待的小事。故B选项"从小任务开始"能够承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
(4)联系下文题。本空是小标题,观察其他小标题不难发现都是以动词开头,备选选项为AC选项。根据下文So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate,and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone,we get impatient about the circumstances.(我们中的许多人都认为舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态,当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时,我们会对环境失去耐心。)可知,本段主要讲在舒适区之外的感受。C选项"接受不舒服"能够总结段落,符合语境。故选C。
(5)语境衔接题。根据上文 So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate,and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone,we get impatient about the circumstances.You should learn to say to yourself(我们中的许多人都认为舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态,当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时,我们会对环境失去耐心。你应该学会对自己说) 以及下文You'll then gradually become more patient(然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心。)可知,本段主要讲在舒适区之外经历不舒适时候,要怎么做才可以变得有耐心。F选项"这只是让人不舒服,而不是无法忍受"符合语境。故选F。
