Easy Ways to Boost Your Confidence

Imagine being able to overcome any obstacle that might come your way at work or in relationships. Then try to picture yourself not having to ask for advice or someone’s approval every step of the way. 【1】 If you are low on confidence, read on because here are four easy ways to boost your confidence. Once you master them, everything in your life will change for the better.

Boost your self-image. If failure is getting you down, just remember that there is always a solution. 【2】 The best way to boost your self-image after a setback（挫折）is to write down all your accomplishments and star qualities. Make a list and put it ion your computer desktop or near where you spend most of your time. You can also make a list of all the things you should be grateful for.

【3】 You know your talents and strengths first. Then set your goals to match these. Reject those that are just beyoud your skills, abilities, qualifications or experience. This is where you can realistically assess your weaknesses and build on your strengths.

【解析】

試題分析：信心在我們的生活中作用巨大，文章中對于人們?nèi)绾螛淞⑿判奶岢隽怂臈l有用的建議。

【1】E 根據(jù)橫線前句Then try to picture yourself not having to ask for advice or someone’s approval every step of the way. 你做事的時(shí)候不需要征求任何人的意見或者得到別人的允許。能夠這樣做的人一定是有強(qiáng)烈自信的人，他認(rèn)為自己可以搞定一切。故E項(xiàng)“This is what self-confident people do every day.”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【2】G 本段的標(biāo)題是“Boost your self-image提高自我形象”。根據(jù)橫線前句“If failure is getting you down, just remember that there is always a solution.”如果失敗讓你沮喪，你要記住總有解決問題的方法。你需要做的做的就是要再次嘗試，以成功中促進(jìn)你的自我形象。故G項(xiàng)正確。

【3】A 根據(jù)橫線后兩句You know your talents and strengths first. Then set your goals to match these.可知我們要對自己的才能和有點(diǎn)有所了解，然后再設(shè)立一些與之匹配的目標(biāo)。也就是說要樹立比較現(xiàn)實(shí)的目標(biāo)，不要好高騖遠(yuǎn)。故A項(xiàng)符合中心思想。

【4】F 本段首句“Get on the positive thoughts track.”告訴我們要有積極的思想，說明積極思維對于成功很重要。再根據(jù)橫線后句Negative thinking may be useful when imagining failure situations, threats, and obstacles.可知消極思維容易帶來不利情況。該句是在回答為什么我們要保持積極的心態(tài)。故F項(xiàng)符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】C 根據(jù)橫線后句Keep playing to the best of your ability and your confidence will always be there to support you.我們要繼續(xù)努力。而不是實(shí)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)目標(biāo)然后就停下來。故C項(xiàng)符合上下文串聯(lián)。

該題型給出的選項(xiàng)中我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)一些特點(diǎn)：該題型選項(xiàng)大致可分為主旨概括句（文章整體內(nèi)容）、過渡性句子（文章結(jié)構(gòu)）和注釋性句子（上下文邏輯意義）三類。

1、先看選項(xiàng)。跟完形填空不一樣，七選五的答案選項(xiàng)較少，并且給出的都是句子，因此，我們可以通過句子的完整性或者句子后面的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號來判斷該句在文章中的位置。另外，通過閱讀選項(xiàng)，有可能找出跟其他選項(xiàng)表達(dá)完全不同意思的句子，這樣的話我們就可以直接將該選項(xiàng)排除。

2、再看空前空后。由于七選五空出的是整個(gè)句子，而這些句子與句子之間，必然有一種聯(lián)系，因此我們可以通過選項(xiàng)中某個(gè)名詞或動詞跟空前或空后的一致性或者相關(guān)性來確定這兩個(gè)句子之間有一種關(guān)聯(lián)性，從而選擇正確的答案。

3、注意代詞或定冠詞。在做這類題目的時(shí)候，一定要注意句子中出現(xiàn)的人稱代詞或者指示代詞，因?yàn)槲覀冎�道，代詞是指代一個(gè)名詞或者一個(gè)句子的，然后通過代詞在句子中所做的成分我們可以推斷出它指代的句子的類型，我們要做的就是從選項(xiàng)中找這類句型就可以了。

4、注意一些特殊疑問詞。如果選項(xiàng)中或空前出現(xiàn)特殊疑問詞，一定要把這句話仔細(xì)讀幾遍，因?yàn)閷τ诓煌�特殊疑問詞的回答方式是不一樣的，比如對why的回答，后面要有because等表原因的詞，對when的回答，后面要有表時(shí)間的狀語，對where的回答，后面要有表地點(diǎn)的名詞，對how的回答，后面要有方式狀語等。

5、注意一些連詞。如一些表示轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞，but，However，yet，though，nevertheless等，另外還有一些表示并列關(guān)系的連詞如and，also，as well as，neither nor，either or，not only...but also，on one hand....on the other hand等。因?yàn)檫@些連詞可以表現(xiàn)句子與句子之間的關(guān)系，通過不同的連詞我們可以推知句子與句子之間不同的關(guān)系。
