[A] Talk about their passion [B] Do not leave them alone [C] Do what they love [D] Understand them [E] Talk to them frequently [F] Learn to enjoy the silence together [G] Stay patient when they are quiet Simple Ways to Make an Introvert Feel Appreciated An introvert and an extrovert are like the moon and the sun—the two different personality types that will probably never understand each other. If you are an extrovert who has an introverted sibling, friend, partner or coworker, you may need this little guide to making an introvert feel appreciated, loved and happy. 【R1】______ There is nothing more annoying for introverts than being interrupted when they try to process information. When they are silent, stay calm and don’t get annoyed. While extroverts rarely think before they speak since thoughts occur to them during the conversation, introverts need time to think before they utter a word. 【R2】______ Do not get offended every time they turn down your invitation. Otherwise, they will feel guilty and depressed, and while you are most likely to forget about it in 10 minutes, they will spend hours over-thinking their and your words. Understanding makes introverts feel appreciated, so if they say they are too tired to party today, just let them spend that night alone. 【R3】______ Everyone thinks introverts are quiet, boring and antisocial. The reality is introverts have dreams, hobbies, and goals too. Find out what they are passionate about and show them that you are truly interested in it too. Talk about their dreams once in a while to boost their mood and make them feel awesome. 【R4】______ What can be better than doing something meaningful together? Since introverts deeply care about every living creature on Earth, they tend to help them however they can. They love to volunteer, so why not join them every now and then? Not only will you make your introverted friend or partner feel appreciated and happy, but you will also help the world. 【R5】______ Show an introvert how much you appreciate them without words. Greet them with a smile or hug. Laugh together. Listen to music together. Watch a movie in silence. Stargaze the night sky or simply sit in silence. Okay, you may think it is a boring and even stupid activity, but an introvert will definitely love it. Who knows, maybe you will enjoy the silence too. There are many myths about introverts but the truth is introverts make the world a better place. They do the things that others don’t even think about. Yes, they seem a bit strange at times, but we have no right to call them “weird,” “antisocial” and “shy.” Just because you do not understand an introvert does not mean you should run away from them. Introverts make ideal friends and partners. So, never try to fix them, love them for who they are.

3． 【R3】

正确答案：A

[A] Don’t look back [B] Accept the change [C] Try to see change as an opportunity [D] Use rest and relaxation to prepare your mind [E] Fill your body and soul with contentment [F] Calm yourself by hugging the one you love [G]

Use the support of people you love How to Cope With Unexpected Changes Nowadays change is the only constant thing in the world. People often experience new and stressing events, and that’s why you should be ready to respond when the unexpected change comes knocking on your door. Check out a few tips on how to cope with unexpected changes. 【R1】______ Many people think that nourishment is just the food they eat, but there are many other ways to nourish your body and mind. By all means you need to stay active. Walking, bicycling and swimming are wonderful options that will help you be on the positive wave. The thing is, exercise improves mood, increases the ability to recall information and helps you stay focused. Moreover, you can enjoy the scent of wondrous flowers and trees. A hot bath and soothing music can fill you with the power to live happily in spite of problems or unexpected changes. 【R2】______ If you don’t know how to treat the change, then shake up your friends or family and ask them for support and advice. Hugging your cat also has a magnificent calming effect on your nervous system. You should realize that best people of your life are always ready to stretch you helping hands if necessary. You just have to ask them for help and support. Sometimes a frank talk with your best friend can be the best psychological therapy. 【R3】______ Human being is a creature of habit. People are often afraid to let something new and unexpected into their lives. If it happens they don’t try to open a new page in their life, but look back and wonder what they could have done differently to avoid being in this situation. These people significantly reduce their chances to reach goals and be happy. Charles Morgan once said, “The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mood of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change, for happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up.” 【R4】______ This approach will help you get rid of all negative thoughts in your mind that keep you depressed and confused. If you’ve lost your job, you should accept the issue and just weigh all the pros and cons of the situation you’ve faced. By acknowledging your fears and pain, you’ll be able to sift through the feelings while coping with the practical realities. You should remember that change happens and when you grasp this concept, you will be ready to deal with unexpected changes. Moreover, it’s better to get used to the idea that you can’t control everything in this world. 【R5】______ Changes are just a new page in the book of your life. Furthermore, it is a chance to start your life from scratch. That’s why you should stop your grief period and start looking for possibilities to make right choices and set new priorities. If you follow this tip, you’ll become the leader of your life. As soon as you win the fear of new and unknown, you will enter a new stage of full and happy life. Sometimes even a negative unexpected change can be the beginning of good and prosperous future.

[A] Start your Monday off by exercising [B] Unplug your devices till the morning [C] Do some mind training before bedtime [D] Get mentally prepared for the work week [E] List the priorities of the day [F] Do not drink on Sunday [G] Get up earlier 5 Ways to Wake Up on Monday Feeling Ready to Take on the Day How you start your Monday can set the tone for the rest of the week. Most of us wake up on Monday feeling stressed, confused, groggy, and unmotivated, dreaming of the end of the day. If this sounds familiar to you and you want to wake up on Monday feeling ready to tackle any challenge the day may throw at you, here are some tips to follow: 【R1】______ When you spend your Sunday sleeping in,

dealing with a hangover or binge-watching Netflix, no wonder you wake up on Monday feeling stressed. After a relaxing day, your mind and body are not ready to do anything. Make the time to plan the week, or, at least, Monday and Tuesday. This way, you will know what to do and be mentally prepared for the work day. 【R2】______ Some people claim they need six hours of sleep to have enough energy to get through the day while others need eight hours. Depending on how many hours of sleep your body needs, go to bed earlier to wake up earlier. There are many things you can do before the hectic work day starts. Successful people tend to wake up early even on the weekends. Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO of General Electric, says he usually wakes up by 5:30 am to exercise. Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple Inc., says he starts his day at 4:30 am to deal with emails. Sure, it takes time to become an early riser, yet waking up earlier on Monday may help you boost your productivity and combat your mental laziness. 【R3】______ If your phone is connected to your email and Facebook and Twitter accounts, switch it off, leave it in your bag and check it in the office at 9 am. Instead of spending your time in front of the screen, consider reading a book or meditating to calm your mind before bedtime. 【R4】______ You can hit the gym or just run around your neighborhood. This is an effective way to kick-start your day and increase your energy. A regular workout routine keeps the body and mental state healthy. It helps fight morning anxiety and early symptoms of depression. If running is not your thing, you can simply walk for 20 minutes or do some plank exercises. 【R5】______ With Monday being the first work day, you are more likely to face tons of tasks. Those emails that have been piling up in your inbox, projects that you did not accomplish on Friday, and new tasks that are waiting for your attention. There are so many things that can clutter your mind on Monday morning. Before jumping into work, take several minutes to pick out your priorities.

13． 【R3】

正确答案：B

解析：本段提及的switch off与B项中的unplug为同义表达，文中的phone和screen都与B中的devices相对应，till the morning则概括表达了原文check it in the office at 9 am的意思，故选B。 知识模块：阅读理解B节

14． 【R4】

正确答案：A

[A] Update your budget [B] Submit a change of address form [C] Book a cleaning service beforehand [D] Schedule a walk-through with the landlord [E] Pack up all your things before the walk-through [F] Set up cable and electricity in advance [G] Document everything 5 Smart Must-Do’s Before Moving Out of Your Apartment Moving is always stressful, and the last thing you want to worry about during the big change is your finances. According to the American Moving & Storage Association, the average cost of an intrastate move is $1,170, and this extra expense might take its toll on your budget for the year. Now that you’ve found your new home or apartment, you’ll need to wrap up some loose ends and make sure you’re keeping an eye on spending and last-minute expenses. Whether you want to ensure you get your security deposit back or just want a smooth transition to your new place, here are five smart things you need to do before moving out of your apartment. 【R1】______ Some landlords will book this as soon as you give your notice while others will wait for the tenant to set it up. It allows your landlord to assess the condition of your apartment before you leave and sign off on anything that needs to be replaced. Documenting findings in writing will protect you from having to pay extra expenses when you move out. 【R2】______ It can take 12 to 24 hours—or more—for a technician to set up such service in your new place, and even more time to actually start service. If you want to have service the day you move in, make sure to schedule this visit a few days prior so you don’t have to worry about it. You may need to pay a prorated fee for those extra days but will have peace of mind that you have what you need to get settled in. 【R3】______ This is one of those

moving checklist items that are easy to forget, so take care of it as soon as you know when your move-in date will be. You can do this online through the United States Postal Service website and get a confirmation via email and regular mail when it is complete. This will ensure all your mail is going to the correct mailbox so you don’t miss any important bills and letters. 【R4】______ Make sure you have made a note of any problem areas in the apartment, broken appliances or other items that need to be fixed (and have been reported to the landlord but have yet to be addressed). Take photos so you have proof of the condition of these items and keep a file of any correspondence you have had with the landlord about fixing these things before you leave. You should not be responsible for the cost of repairs as long as you have already reported everything according to your lease terms. 【R5】______ Your monthly expenses may be changing significantly if you are moving into a bigger place, a new neighborhood or even across the state. Take some time to adjust your financial plan with your new rental fees or mortgage costs, taxes, changes in utility bills and any other new expenses you are assuming with the new home. Doing this now can help you better prepare for those upcoming bills and give you a fair idea of what your recurring expenses are going to look like for the next year or more.

16． 【R1】

正确答案：D

解析：由本段出现的landlord，将答案初步锁定在D项上。本段开头并未明确指出this和It所指何物，但根据文中讲的可以让房东评估公寓的状况以及记录下发现的问题等，可知这是房东在你搬离之前对房间情况进行检查和清点。D中的walk-through“走查”正好表达了这一意思．另外Schedule…with the landlord“与房东约好时间……”则对应了本段首句说的情况。故本题选D。 知识模块：阅读理解B节
