Museums can be overwhelming. With thousands of pieces there, how do you know which to focus on? And once you see a piece you like, how do you interact with it? Here is some advice on how to have a meaningful connection when you look at art.
Get up close and personal.____1____ Therefore, take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not come through on a computer screen. That includes its look and the feel of its surface, the marks made by the brush and the path your eyes take when viewing the work.
Stand back. Next, take a few steps back, stand in the center — and observe what’s happening in the big picture. What’s going on in the piece? ____2____ What are they doing? How are they related?
Look at it from an angle. Then try looking at an artwork from its sides, because you might catch something you might not have seen straight on. If it’s something like The Ambassadors by Holbein at The National Gallery in London, if you stand to the side, you’ll see something that from front on looks very different. ____3____ That’s called anamorphic art.
Move your body. If you’re looking at a painting, you can take a finger to the air and trace the outline of the figure or the movement of the brushstrokes. ____4____ This can help you see and feel what it might be like to make this artwork from the artist’s perspective.
Consider the subject of the art. That can have a profound effect on how you feel about the work-and perhaps you can learn something from it. Take the example of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting, Christina’s World, which depicts (描绘) a girl with a muscle disease crawling across a field to get to her home in the distance. The painting personifies (体现) determination.____5____
A．So just keep an open mind.
B．What have they gone through?
C．When you stand to the side, it changes.
D．How are the figures in the piece arranged?
E．We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum.
F．When looking at sculptures, try the poses with your body.
G．It can in a way relieve your stress to know we have this inner strength.

You don’t need to be an astronomer with a giant telescope to enjoy a simple but spellbinding activity: stargazing. ___6___ It’s so interesting to discover what’s going on. With a bit of practice, and know-how from books and websites, stargazers can spot particular stars and also groups of stars.
There is plenty to take in using just your eyes but some people use a telescope for a more detailed look. For the best results, choose a clear night when the moon is not very bright. ___7___
It can be harder to see the stars in towns and cities. It is because of light pollution. The night sky is brightened by light from street lamps, shops and car headlights. The best places for stargazing are open, hilly areas or the coast. ___8___ It is our home galaxy stretching across the night sky and is best seen in summer and fall evening skies. If the full moon is up, it will be hard to see. Try going for a night hike instead! Let your eyes adjust to the moonlight and keep your flashlight turned off.
___9___ That is camping in a national park under a star-filled sky. Many national parks offer various night sky programs, from telescope astronomy events to full moon walks with rangers. Besides, national parks are also great places to know about the animals that are awake at night and asleep during the day. Sit quietly and listen for these creatures.
When you head out at night, always go with an adult. Dress warmly and take a blanket or a chair to sit on, plus a hot drink to warm you up. You might want to take a camera with you as well, so you can take a photo if you see something amazing in the sky. A whole new world comes alive at night and is waiting to be explored. ___10___
A．Get prepared for the wonder above.
B．Just go outside at night and look up.
C．You are supposed to avoid the full moon.
D．It also matters which direction you observe.
E．In these places, you can look for the Milky Way.
F．What is the better way to experience the great wonder?
G．Where do you prefer to have a stargazing trip at night?

Establishing healthy boundaries with yourself will help you stay within your range of control and prioritize what matters most. Here are some tips.
Be honest with yourself
Behind every fancy purchase is a desire for status and recognition. You secretly want to be noticed for wearing a new watch or carrying a designer purse.___11___So before taking action towards any endeavor, such as making an expensive purchase or pursuing a job promotion, ask yourself, “Who am I doing this for?”
___12___However,if you are pursuing something with the hopes of attracting attention, then you need to say no to yourself.
Honor your limits
You can’t be everything for everyone. Trying to please everyone makes you vulnerable.___13___It is important that you are wise with your resources.
The importance of honoring your limits is highlighted by the Greek mythological story. The story is a reminder that pushing yourself too hard for too long ultimately comes at a cost.
Stop comparing yourself to others
People will engage in behaviors that trigger you. It might be tempting to enter an undeclared competition with the Joneses. This approach does not work because there is always someone out there who has more of what you desire.
Stop comparing yourself to others.___14___Focus on living a meaningful life that is consistent with your values and goals.
Be fair to yourself

A．You criticize yourself for shortcomings.
B．The truth is you have limited energy and time.

F．The same can be said about other pursuits such as accumulating wealth and status.
G．When you set goals, consider whether you have set the standard at a reasonable level.

You’ve probably heard countless times how exercise is “good for you”. But did you know that it can improve your mood too? ___16___.
Exercising regularly can help prevent weight gain, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Exercises like jumping or lifting weights can help keep your bones strong. Also, when you exercise, your body makes chemicals that help you feel good. Exercise lowers your chances of depression and decreases feelings of anxiety. ___17___ .
Considering all the health benefits of being physically active, it’s easy to see why doing exercise is wise. And the great thing is that it’s never too late to start. ___18___— like taking a short bike ride, walking the dog or raking (用耙子拢) leaves.
However, sometimes you may find it hard to keep exercising regularly. ___19___ . If what you’re doing isn’t fun, it’s hard to keep it up. But there are many different sports and activities you can try and see which one inspires you. If you need a little more motivation, take a class, join a team or find an exercise buddy to help keep you on track.
___20___ , even those with disabilities or medical problems. But if you have a health problem or other concerns, talk to your doctor before beginning an exercise plan.

Do a cost-benefit analysis.____22____That’s why we need to try doubly hard to do self-assessments of how features such as streaks (打卡时间) or leaderboards are helping and hurting us. Think over whether the behavior they inspire in you contributes to or detracts from your welfare.
Build in “cheat days”. They are like days off from a strict diet.____23____It can also help to schedule days off from our habits—whether it’s running, reading the news or scrolling Instagram.
____24____Especially for young people, it can be helpful to plan in advance activities that might be a distraction. If your teen knows he’s allowed one hour on YouTube at 7 p.m., then he can relax without thinking about when he’ll be able to hop on his favorite app.
____25____Tech companies, schools, social institutions and governments all have a responsibility to help reset standards of technology use. For example, schools have experimented with locking up students’ phones so they can’t use them during the school day.

A．Use digital timers.
B．Schedule a limited amount of time for your habit

Determine when you have the most energy. Do you struggle to get out of the bed in the morning or do you wake up energized and ready to go? Are you a night owl and never get to bed before midnight?

Consider your daily schedule. When are you the busiest?____28____Try to fit in exercise before or at least around these events. Some people would prefer to get it out of the way first thing, while others prefer to put it off until the end of the day when they are all caught up.
Determine your exercise goals. If you are trying to develop a routine, you may want to exercise in the morning. People who exercise in the morning are more consistent.____29____If you are trying to improve your performance, evening exercise may be best. You may experience less tiredness, quicker reaction times, and more strength and flexibility in the evening. If you are trying to lose weight, you may want to exercise in the morning before you have eaten when your body is more likely to use fat instead of carbohydrates for energy
____30____This way, you’ll see how you feel and find the time that works best with your schedule. Keep an exercise log to help you evaluate each time.
A．This will give your body time to relax.

With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic vacation on a train? Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible.
Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. ____56____ But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.
Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. ____57____ Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.
Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. ____58____ In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold.
Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. ____59____ Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times.
Have fun. ____60____ Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph.

It won’t sound like a big surprise when I tell you that kindness plays an important role in a person’s wellbeing. It can lead to changes like higher self-esteem(自尊心) and lower blood pressure. Even just witnessing acts of kindness can make us happier.
____61____ “From giving away a cup of hot chocolate in a park to giving away a gift in the lab, those performing an act of kindness consistently underestimated how positive their receivers would feel, thinking their act was of less value than receivers perceived it to be,” states a study.
____62____ Yet, why is there this difference between what we think someone will feel from an act of kindness versus what they do feel? Why do we underestimate the impact we have on others?
Many of us don’t have a real sense of our value. It’s been estimated that as many as 85 percent of people struggle with low self-esteem. ____63____ This “voice” tends to shift our focus inward assessing our every move, and having bad effect on our relationships.
Unlike a conscience(良心), this inner critic doesn’t motivate positive behavior. ____64____ It encourages us to hold back feeding us thoughts like, “Don’t stick your neck out”: “No one wants to hear from you”; and “You’re going to make a fool of yourself.”
One wonderful way to fight against our critical inner voice is through acts of being kind to others. ____65____ We must also try to see ourselves through the eyes of the people we affect. The degree to which we’re able to do that will help determine our own happiness along with the happiness we light up in others.
A．However, the work doesn’t stop there.
B．People may lower the value of their own kind comments.
C．We all carry around a “critical inner voice” that tends to put us down.
D．Instead of seeing what we have to offer, we may think of ourselves as a burden.
E．This misunderstanding suggests that people devalue their own actions in relation to others.
F．Instead, it turns us against ourselves, making us underestimate our beneficial effect on others.
G．Yet, people may not truly know the impact that even the smallest of kind acts can have on another person.

I believe almost everyone would like two things from their jobs and careers: success and happiness. They want to do relatively well financially, receive fair recognition for their accomplishments, enjoy their work as much as one can, and become happier as a person as a result. So many people, especially ambitious, hard-working people, simplify them in a logical way: They first seek success and then assume that success will lead to happiness. ____66____. Chasing success has costs that can end up lowering happiness.
This is not to say that you have to choose between success and happiness. ____67____. But you have to reverse (颠倒) the order of operations: Instead of trying first to get success and hoping it leads to happiness, start by working on your happiness, which will enhance your success.
Whether you are an employee or employer, it is a better investment to increase happiness at work and in life, rather than simply trying to increase measures of success.
____68____. No matter how much you enjoy your work, overwork will become an obstruction (阻碍) to well-being.
Once work quantity is under control, happiness at work requires a sense of meaning and purpose. ____69____. Earned success implies a sense of accomplishment and recognition for a job well done, while service to others requires knowledge of the real people who benefit from your work.
Ultimately, although success and happiness are linked, the magic mostly works one-way — and not in the way that most people think. ____70____, and may lead you to unhappiness. But working on your happiness. gives you the best chance at getting both.
A．You can obtain both
B．But this reasoning is faulty
C．It’s fairly reasonable to think this way, though
D．Working on your success to get happier is inefficient at best (充其量)
E．The first thing to remember is that happiness requires balance
F．It’s dangerous to pursue success instead of happiness
G．The two key aspects of meaningful work are earned success and service to others

Look out for scenting
Cats use scent to identify their own members, by sharing a group scent profile. They have scent glands(腺)on their head and around their ears, and often rub their heads against people and objects that are familiar and comforting. Does your cat rub its head or side against your legs? ____72____.

____75____
Cats are very protective of their personal space and don’t like unwelcome guests to invade it.

A Few Top Reasons to Get Your Child Play Golf
One such sport that usually does not come to your mind, but has several benefits in the long run for your child is golf. ____81____ But, before you take your child to the golf field, make sure you have bought your kids golf set.
Reasons why you must introduce your child to golf are as follows.
Golf is for anyone and everyone. Golf is one such sport that can be played by anyone. It does not matter if your child is short or tall, skinny or a little overweight, slow or fast. Golf is for everyone, irrespective of sizes and shapes. Also, golf can be played at any age. ____82____

Golf helps create lifelong friends. ____84____ When learning to play as kids, the children bond over the lessons of golf and later the lessons of life and stick together forever, irrespective of distances. Also, golf tournaments can take your kids to different countries and thus help them learn and appreciate players culturally different from themselves, but united by the game.
____85____ Just like the ups and downs of golf, life too has its share of ups and downs. When your child learns to handle the high points and low points or rather the bogeys and birdies of the game of golf, he or she is picking up skills and lessons to help face similar situations in life.
And above all, the most important sport lesson that golf provides, is that of having fun and enjoying oneself.

As human beings, our ability to predict and prevent trouble is one of those superpowers that set us apart from birds and beasts. ___86___
Dr. Michelle Newman, director of the Laboratory for Anxiety and Depression Research at Pennsylvania State University, presents some characteristics of out-of-control worrying, like focusing on things over which you have no control, or which have a low probability of happening, and “catastrophizing” them. Worrying about a loved one who’s driving and picturing the horrible consequences of an accident is one example. ___87___
Constant worrying and anxiety can increase your blood pressure and heart rate, which has been linked to a higher risk for cardiovascular (心脏血管的) diseases. Anxiety can also over activate your immune system. But isn’t there a benefit to lots of worrying? After all, if your mind is dealing with emergencies and potential threats, you can act now to prevent them, right?
___88___ “Mostly worrying becomes a process to itself that doesn’t lead to problem solving or helping you in any way,” she says. “If you’re worrying about something,” she says, “you’re not taking steps to address the source of your worry, if that’s even possible.”

___90___ Select a spot you can get to easily every day, but that isn’t a place where you normally spend time, Newman advises. Your goal is to give yourself 20 or 30 minutes a day in that space, devoted only to worrying. “The rest of the day, you tell yourself you aren’t going to worry because you will at that time and place,” Newman explains. “The idea is that by setting apart your worry, you can control it.”

B．Unfortunately, Newman opposes this idea.
C．Activities like yoga that attempt to comfort your mind to the present may help.
D．Focusing on a favorite relaxing setting has also proven worry-reducing benefits.

How to Improve Your Memory
Can’t find your cars keys? Forget your grocery list? You’re not alone. Everyone forgets things occasionally. ____91____ Consider the following ways to sharpen your memory.
Include physical activity in your daily routine.
For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic(有氧的) activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity, such as jogging—preferably spread throughout the week. ____92____
Stay mentally active.
Just as physical activity helps keep your body in shape, mentally stimulating activities help keep your brain in shape—and might keep memory loss at bay. Do crossword puzzles. Play bridge. Take alternate routes when driving. ____93____Volunteer at a local school or community organization.
____94____
You’re more likely to forget things if your home is messy and your notes are disorganized. Take down tasks. appointments and other events in a special notebook, calendar or electronic planner. You might even repeat each entry out loud as you jot it down to help strengthen it in your memory. Keep to-do lists current and check off items you’ve completed.
Manage chronic(慢性的) diseases.
Follow your doctor’s treatment recommendations for medical conditions, such as depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and hearing loss. ____95____ In addition, review your medications with your doctor regularly.
A．Get organized
B．Learn to play a musical instrument.
C．Various medications can affect memory.
D．Still, memory loss is nothing to take lightly.
E．Set aside a place for your wallet, keys, glasses and other essentials.
F．The better you take care of yourself, the better your memory is likely to be.
G．If you don’t have time for a full workout, squeeze in a few 10-minute walks throughout the day.

There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes(人群的蜂拥), the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there’s little you can do to survive a stampede. ____96____ But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:
The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. ____97____ It’s a piece of common sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.
If there’s a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct (本能) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. ____98____ If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.
As you move forward with the crowd, it’s best to move in a diagonal (对角线的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it’s less likely that you’ll end up stuck at a choke-point, like a doorway.
____99____ Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck; behind a car or even a lamp post.
In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can’t breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room—literally. ____100____
A．Another potential way is to shelter yourself.
B．But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns.
C．In this case, you don’t necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.
D．Namely, he advises people to take note of where the nearest exits are.
E．It’s a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.
F．Other events, such as a Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.
G．Indeed, it’s a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.

51．根据空前“If making changes to your weekend routine could improve your productivity and mood through the coming week, would you do it? Research says that it can.(如果在接下来的一周里，改变你周末的作息习惯可以提高你的工作效率和情绪，你会这么做吗？研究表明可以)”可知，研究表明，调整周末生活习惯可以提高你未来一周的工作效率，改善你的情绪。空后的“Try a few of these additions to your routine and see how they work for you(在你的日常生活中尝试一些新的东西，看看它们对你有什么帮助)”可知，本空内容应与“调整周末生活习惯”有关，F项“好消息是你不必做出巨大的改变。”中的“changes”与上文中的“changes”属于原词复现，且呼应下文中的“a few of these additions to your routine”。故选F。
52．根据段落标题“Get plenty of sleep(要有足够的睡眠)”可知，本段的内容应和充足睡眠有关。根据空前“The importance of sleep to your brain’s health just can’t be overstated. Ideally, you shouldn’t ever be short of sleep, which can affect everything from your mood to your cognitive function. (睡眠对大脑健康的重要性怎么强调都不为过。理想情况下，你永远不应该缺少睡眠，因为这会影响你的一切，从情绪到认知功能) ”可知，缺少睡眠，会影响你的一切。空后“You can do this by sleeping late, but you don’t have to. (你可以通过随后睡觉来做到这一点，但是你不必这样做) ”可知，可以通过之后睡觉来补充睡眠不足。因而本空内容应该与睡眠不足有关。G项“但是如果你一周都没有好好睡觉，那就利用周末来补上。”是对上文内容的转折，且符合本段的主旨。其中“fallen behind on sleep”呼应上文中的“short of sleep”。故选G。
53．根据本段的主旨句“Get outside(走向户外)”可知，本段建议你去户外接近大自然。结合本空后“A park where you’re surrounded by trees and other plants works too(你被树木和其他植物包围着的公园也会有效果)”可知，公园也可以让你接近大自然。因而空处可以描述亲近大自然的方式，选项D.“你不必去森林：去体验森林带来的好处。”D项中的“forest”与上文中的“outside, nature, outdoors”及下文中的“park”相呼应，“benefits”与上文中的“benefits”属于原词复现。故选D。
54．根据下文“When you’re working during the week, it may be hard to spend as much time socializing with friends and family as you might like. So spend some time during the weekend with people you care about most. (当你在工作日工作时，你可能很难花足够的时间与朋友和家人交往。所以在周末花些时间和你最关心的人在一起)”可知，本段建议你周末花些时间与家人、朋友待在一起，B项“花时间和你喜欢的人在一起。”符合本段的主旨。B项中的“people you like”与本段中的“friends and family”和“people you care about most”相呼应。故选B。

(这种改变需要创造力，但它可能是你能做出的最令人愉快的小改变)”可知，建议你在周末应该做些打破常规的事情。下文“That’s because, when you break out of normal routine, your brain is awake and active.You’ll remember that part of your weekend better, and you’ll face the week with greater energy and creativity. (这是因为，当你打破常规，你的大脑是清醒和活跃的。你会更好地记住周末的那一部分，你会以更大的精力和创造力面对这一周)”解释为什么打破周末常规，因为这有助于你下周高效工作。由此可推断，本空应介绍打破周末常规的好处，E项“这将使你的周末更加难忘和愉快。”符合语境。E项中的“It”指代上文中的“This change，enjoyable”与上文中的“enjoyable”属于原词复现，“memorable”与下文中的“remember that part of your weekend better”相呼应。故选E。

【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述一些关于如何使坐火车旅行尽可能愉快的建议。
56．根据上文“Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly.(提前计划。大多数长途火车，尤其是卧铺，很快就卖光了。)”以及下文“But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. (但无论你什么时候去旅行，最好至少提前90天预订。)”可知，大多数长途火车的卧铺很容易被定完，所以要提前安排预定，D项“在繁忙的夏季尤其如此。”符合语境，D项中“busy summer months”与前后文呼应，说明忙碌的夏季尤其需要提前计划。故选D项。
57．根据上文“A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. (一个好的旅行社有时可以帮你找到打折的票。)”以及下文“Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. (这样你就不必为了吃饭而每天三次在行驶的火车上穿过几节车厢了。)”可知，好的旅行社帮你预定，不仅可以找到打折的票，还可以节省从卧铺到餐车的距离，G项中“book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner”与前后文对应，因此推断G项“他可能还会给你预订餐厅旁边的卧铺车厢。”符合语境。故选G项。
58．根据上文“When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one.(当你乘坐火车时，你不会免费获得一条毯子，即使你的旅行是过夜的。)”以及下文“In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold. (特别是在夏天，空调会让他们很冷。)”可知，这里提到了车厢内温度的问题，提醒乘客最好自备毛毯，C项中“The temperature on rail cars”与前后文对应，因此推断C项“列车上的温度通常很难控制。”符合语境。故选C项。
59．根据上文“Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster.(大多数火车每天只开一趟，有些火车一周只开三趟，所以错过你的火车可能是一场灾难。)”以及下文“Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. (注意:时刻表上列出的时间是出发时间，不是到达时间。)”可知，本段提醒要提前安排时间，错过时间是很麻烦的事情，E项中“You might have to wait longer”与前后文对应，说明错过火车导致的结果，因此推断E项“你可能要等上超过24小时才能赶上下一班。”符合语境。故选E项。
60．根据上文“Have fun.(玩得开心)”以及下文“To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts).”(要计算你的速度，用3600(一小时的秒数)除以你走一英里(两个里程碑之间的距离)所花费的秒数。)”可知，本段讲述如何度过乘车时间，A项中讲到火车旅行不适合没有耐心的人与后文要计算时间，用不同的方式打发时间对应，符合语境。故选A项。
61．G 62．E 63．C 64．F 65．A

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了善良在一个人的幸福中起着重要作用时，这听起来并不是一个大惊喜。然而令人惊讶的却是，人们可能并不真正知道哪怕是最小的善举也会对另一个人产生什么影响。这是因为一种“内心批判”在促使人们贬低自己对他人产生的价值。要摒弃掉自我内心批判，同时看到对他人的积极影响，能够做到这一点的程度将有助于决定我们自己的幸福以及我们在他人身上点燃的幸福。
61．设空句为该段主旨句，后文内容时对其具体的解释。根据后文“‘From giving away a cup of hot chocolate in a park to giving away a gift in the lab, those performing an act of kindness consistently underestimated how positive their receivers would feel, thinking their act was of less value than receivers perceived it to be,’ states a study.(一项研究称：“从在公园里送一杯热巧克力到在实验室里送一份礼物，那些表现出善意的人总是低估了接受者的积极感受，认为他们的行为没有接受者想象的那么有价值。”)”可知，该部分强调表现善意的人低估了自己的行为对他人的影响。选项G“Yet, people may not truly know the impact that even the smallest of kind acts can have on another person.(然而，人们可能并不真正知道哪怕是最小的善举也会对另一个人产生什么影响。)”在句意上贴合该段主旨，“even the smallest of kind acts(甚至是最小的善举)”对应后文的“From giving away a cup of hot chocolate in a park to giving away a gift in the lab(从在公园里送一杯热巧克力到在实验室里送一份礼物)”。故选G项。
62．根据后文“Yet, why is there this difference between what we think someone will feel from an act of kindness versus what they do feel? Why do we underestimate the impact we have on others?(然而，为什么我们认为某人会从善意行为中感受到的与他们的真实感受之间存在差异？为什么我们低估了我们对他人的影响？)”提出了一系列的疑问并结合上文内容可推知，设空句应是一个结论句，且上文内容有关，应包含关键词“underestimate(低估，看轻)”含义。选项E“This misunderstanding suggests that people devalue their own actions in relation to others.(这种误解表明，人们贬低自己与他人的关系。)”中主语“This misunderstanding”指代上一段内容，在句意上是针对上文得出的结论，且“devalue”对应“underestimate”，符合词汇复现原则。故选E项。
63．根据后文“This ‘voice’ tends to shift our focus inward assessing our every move, and having bad effect on our relationships.(这种“声音”倾向于将我们的注意力转移到评估我们的一举一动，并对我们的关系产生不良影响。) ”为第二次提出这种“声音”，说明设空句应是首次提到这种“声音”，且是一种产生消极影响的声音。选项C“We all carry around a “critical inner voice” that tends to put us down.(我们都有一种“批判的内心声音”，这种声音往往会让我们失望。)”提出了名词“批判的内心声音”，符合分析。故选C项。
64．根据前文“Unlike a conscience, this inner critic doesn’t motivate positive behavior.(与良心不同，这种内心的批评不会激发积极的行为。)”提出了“内心批判”是消极的，由此可推知，设空句应进一步强调其消极性的具体影响，同时包含话题“贬低自己的影响”。选项F“Instead, it turns us against ourselves, making us underestimate our beneficial effect on others. (相反，它使我们与自己作对，使我们低估了自己对他人的有益影响。)”讲到了内心批判对自己和对他人具体消极影响，且“Instead”与前文构成反义转折关系，前后衔接紧密。故选F项。
65．根据前文“One wonderful way to fight against our critical inner voice is through acts of being kind to others.(对抗我们批判的内心声音的一个好方法是善待他人。)”提到了一个抵制内心批判的方式，后文“We must also try to see ourselves through the eyes of the people we affect.(我们还必须努力通过我们所影响的人的眼睛来看待自己。)”则提到了下一个步骤，由此可推知，设空句应是转折句，说明不仅仅有第一步，以承接后文。选项A“However, the work doesn’t stop there.(然而，这项工作并不止于此。)”为转折句，“the work”呼应前文内容，在句意上承接后文。故选A项。

67．上文“This is not to say that you have to choose between success and happiness.”（这并不是说你不得不在成功与快乐之间做出选择。）说明成功和快乐并不是矛盾的，是可以兼得的。故A项“You can obtain both”（你可以二者兼得。）符合题意。故选A项。
68．下文“No matter how much you enjoy your work, overwork will become an obstruction (阻碍) to well-being.”（无论你多么喜欢你的工作，超时工作都会变成快乐生活的阻碍。）说明快乐来自于喜欢，但要懂得适度和平衡，否则再喜欢的工作也会变成阻碍。与E项“The first thing to remember is that happiness requires balance”（要记住的第一件事就是快乐需要平衡）句意契合。故选E项。
69．下文“Earned success implies a sense of accomplishment and recognition for a job well done, while service to others requires knowledge of the real people who benefit from your work.”（获得成功意味着成就感和对出色工作的认可，而服务他人意味着需要了解那些从你的工作中受益的人。）说明了“Earned success ”和“service to others”两方面的内容，与G项“The two key aspects of meaningful work are earned success and service to others”（有意义的工作的两个关键就是获得的成功和对他人的服务。）中两个关键一致。故选G项。
70．下文“and may lead you to unhappiness”（可能会导致你不快乐）说明前面的事情是消极不好的做法。结合下句“But working on your happiness. gives you the best chance at getting both.”（但是致力于快乐，你会有机会二者兼得。）可知，前面的做法是与其相反的。故D项“Working on your success to get happier is inefficient at best”（致力于成功而得到的快乐是远远不够的。）符合题意。故选D项。

74．根据本文小标题“Watch how they greet you(观察他们如何问候你)”可推知，本段主要介绍了猫是如何对你问候你的。所以F项“One of the most obvious signs that your beloved pet is fond of you, is the way that your cat approaches you(你心爱的宠物喜欢你的一个最明显的迹象就是你的猫接近你的方式)”引出下文。故选F。

99．设空处为本段的主题句。根据空后“Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck; behind a car or even a lamp post(找一个坚实的结构站在后面，如柱子或墙。其他地方可以躲避；躲在汽车后面，甚至是灯柱后面)”可知，空出提出应该保护自己。A项：Another potential way is to shelter yourself(另一种可能的方法是保护自己)概括本段内容。故选A。
100．空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据空前“But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room—literally(但有一种可能的方法可以避免这种情况，那就是将手臂放在身前，几乎像拳击手一样。这可能会给你一些非常宝贵的喘息空间)”可知，空处应陈述这种行为看似简单，却非常有效。E项：It’s a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.(这是一个简单的姿势，但却出奇地有效，而且可能挽救生命)符合题意，pose呼应上文position，故选E。
