Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

You often plan for our holidays for a long time so that you can spend the period happily every year. As is often the case, your holiday plans came to nothing, or you don't want to see anyone, or you don't really know how to spend the holidays. _【1】__

Give your time.

Volunteering is an activity that most of the experts suggested for people spending the holidays alone, offering your time at a nursing home or homeless shelter. __【2】

Connect with strangers.

_【3】__ A meaningful chat with a cashier, a good deed for another－these connections can lift your spirits, especially if you're apart from friends and family. You do yourself harm when you believe that love only unfolds between you and someone “special” to you.

_【4】__

If you're feeling lonely and longing to see family and friends who are absent for the holidays this year, you can create special plans to meet them another time or during the next holiday season. Not only will this be something positive to look forward to, but it's an actionable plan that could relieve some loneliness down the road.

But don't be addicted to unhappy thoughts.

The key here is mindfulness. __【5】_ If you remain present and mindful and begin to listen to your thoughts about being lonely, you might discover that the thoughts are telling a onesided story, and one that might not totally be true.

A. Plan for a future time to see family.

B. Acknowledge that you're unhappy.

C. Below are ips for enjoying the holidays on your own.

D. Try different ways to avoid those negative thought surrounding you all the time.

E. Even if you're not serving soup, there are other simpler connections to be made with strangers.

F. If you find yourself caught in that cycle of emotionally charged, negative thoughts about loneliness, stop and acknowledge these feelings.

G. It's not bad to think about yourself and your feelings, and helping others can give you a healthy and important break to consider the larger world around you.

【解析】

試題分析：我們會為假期做很多的計劃，但實際上很多時候，我們的計劃是無法成功的，本文中作者介紹了四個獨自度假的建議。

【1】C 根據(jù)橫線前句your holiday plans came to nothing, or you don't want to see anyone, or you don't really know how to spend the holidays.可知很多情況下我們計劃好的假期都泡湯了，有時候在假期里我們會什么人也不想見，也不主動如何度過假期。接下來的三部分中作者提出了四個建議。故C項“Below are tips for enjoying the holidays on your own.下面是獨自度假的幾個建議”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【2】G 根據(jù)本段第一句Volunteering is an activity.....可知本段講述的是參加志愿活動、幫助他人來度過自己的假期。只有G項“.......and helping others can give you a healthy and important break .....”和幫助他人有關(guān)。故G項正確。

【3】E 本段標(biāo)題為“Connect with strangers.”與陌生人聯(lián)系。選項中只有E項“Even if you're not serving soup, there are other simpler connections to be made with strangers.”談?wù)摰氖桥c陌生人交流的話題。故E項正確。

【4】A 根據(jù)本段第一句“If you're feeling lonely and longing to see family and friends who are absent for the holidays this year, you can create special plans to meet them another time or during the next holiday season.”可知如果你感到孤單并渴望家人見面，那你就可以利用假期去看望家人和朋友。故A項“Plan for a future time to see family.”正確。

【5】F 根據(jù)前句But don't be addicted to unhappy thoughts.不要沉溺于不開心的回憶之中，也就是說在假期中我們不要受消極負(fù)面的思想影響。故F項“....... stop and acknowledge these feelings.”符合本段的中心思想。
