Whether it is to get to the store or work, climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Break the “I’m tired” or

“It is too hard” or “It is too far” cycle. Increasing your activity level will provide enormous benefits, both physically and mentally.

Try Something New

Further, you will be truer to yourself, thus making you a happier individual.

Increase Your Willpower

【5】. However, developing a strong willpower, whether it is in response to our favorite chocolate cake or to over-shopping is something that we can all benefit from. Next time you are tempted to do something you think you might regret, try reminding yourself that you can say no. You have the power.

【解析】本文敘述的是，“如何推動自己走向成功”。

【1】根據(jù)上句It gives us a reason to do the things that we think we can't.“它給了我們一個理由去做那些我們認(rèn)為我們做不到的事情。”承接上文，B項(xiàng)Here are a few ways to apply this positive thinking to your own life“這里有一些方法可以將這種積極的想法應(yīng)用到你自己的生活中”切題。

【2】該空是小標(biāo)題。結(jié)合下文小標(biāo)題，此處應(yīng)該用短小精悍的祈使句。只有D項(xiàng)Be More Active是祈使句，符合題意。

【3】結(jié)合上句It is easy for us to make excuses for why we shouldn't try new things.“我們很容易為我們不應(yīng)該嘗試新事物的原因找借口。”再結(jié)合下句Maybe it seems too difficult.“也許這看起來太難了。”承接上下文，F(xiàn)項(xiàng) Maybe you think it is out of your comfort zone“也許你認(rèn)為它超出了你的舒適區(qū)。”切題。故答案為F。

【4】根據(jù)上句Often, we dare not address（處理）things that bother us or make us unhappy.“通常，我們不敢解決困擾我們或讓我們不開心的事情。”再根據(jù)下句Use that voice “because you can.” 使用那個聲音“因?yàn)槟憧梢?/span>”。承接上下文，C項(xiàng)You have a voice“你有一個聲音。”切題。

【5】根據(jù)下文However, developing a strong willpower, whether it is in response to our favorite chocolate cake or to over-shopping is something that we can all benefit from.“然而，培養(yǎng)一種堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志力，無論是對我們最喜歡的巧克力蛋糕還是過度購物，都是我們都能從中受益的東西。”承接下文，A項(xiàng)Saying “No” to our favorites can be challenging“對我們的最愛說“不”是很有挑戰(zhàn)性的�！�切題。

做七選五時，一定要注意and/but/so/besides/however/furthermore/moreover/in addition/what’s more等詞匯、固定結(jié)構(gòu)的運(yùn)用。它們連接了上下文，起著承上起下的作用。像but（但是）、however（然而），表示轉(zhuǎn)折，這說明前后的內(nèi)容相反或相對。本題第5小題，根據(jù)下文However, developing a strong willpower, whether it is in response to our favorite chocolate cake or to over-shopping is something that we can all benefit from.“然而，培養(yǎng)一種堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志力，無論是對我們最喜歡的巧克力蛋糕還是過度購物，都是我們都能從中受益的東西。”承接下文，A項(xiàng)Saying “No” to our favorites can be challenging“對我們的最愛說“不”是很有挑戰(zhàn)性的。”切題。下文中的However表示轉(zhuǎn)折。
