Question

【题目】How to express yourself to others

Every person on the planet communicates in some fashion. And one of the hardest things to do when you're communicating with someone is expressing yourself. After all, words have the power to give life and death... especially in relationships. 【1】

If you have a fear of people, people will avoid you. It's a vicious cycle（恶性循环）. You avoid people because you fear that they will hurt you. People see your coldness, and either think the worst （that you are stuck-up（傲慢的）），or satisfy your desire and leave you alone. 【2】 You'll have a hard time getting close to them when you bottle everything up inside. Your relationships will all be shallow.

Your inability to express yourself will haunt（萦绕于）you in time of trouble. You'll need help, and you'll want help, but you won't seek it. You'll hide. So, no one helps you. Then you grow bitter and angry. What's more, it can cause isolation. You build walls around your emotions and people consequently leave you alone. Gradually, your life will be empty. Life is relationships. 【3】

However, reading will help you learn how other people express themselves. Pay attention to word usage, diction（措词）,flow, voice and tones. These will give you ideas of expressing yourself. 【4】 They'll provide you with many ways of expressing your emotions and help you express yourself better.

Besides, you can do some writing on your own. Start a novel. Write letters. Keep a journal or diary. You'll find that writing helps you to sort through your thoughts. Writing gives you focus and direction.

【5】 You can't catch it from someone who has it. It is the spiritual state of mind that is the direct result of fear. There is really only one type of fear and that is the fear of the unknown. Don't fear what other people think about you. Honestly, your imagination will create far worse imagination than what most people will ever think.

A.Social anxiety is not a disease.

B.That will make them feel needed.

C.So it is important that you learn to express yourself.

D.All of these factors have some relationship to happiness.

E.Look up words that you've never seen before and use them.

F.The stronger your relationships are, the more joy you'll have in life.

G.When you can't open up to people, they will feel that you are unapproachable.

【解析】

本文是议论文。作者分析了躲避与人交流会让你觉得孤单，并且关于学会如何向他人表达自己提出了一些建议。

【1】

此题线索是逻辑。选项C意思为：所以学会表达自己是很重要的。空前一句提到“毕竟，言语有赋予生命和死亡的力量”，是说明原因；选项C是说明结果，其中so表示因果关系。故选C项。

【2】

选项G意思为：当你不能向人们敞开心扉时，他们会觉得你是不容易接近的。上文提“You avoid people”，选项G中“you can't open up to people”与“You avoid people”语义相符。该段是说明不能向人敞开心扉交流的不利之处。故选G项。

【3】

此题线索是词汇复现。选项F意思为：你的人际关系越牢固，你在生活中获得的快乐就越多。选项F中“relationships”与空前一句 “Life is relationships”是原词复现；选项F是顺承前一句的话题。故选F项。

【4】

此题线索是代词指代。选项E意思为：查一下你从未见过的单词，然后使用它们。空后一句中的they 指代选项E中的words。空后一句与选项E语义顺承，“学习没有见过的词汇”可以“给你提供多种表达自我的方式”。故选E项。

【5】

此题线索是代词指代。选项A意思为：社交焦虑并不是一种疾病。下一句中的it指代选项A中的social anxiety。故选A项。
