19.Steps to setting your own rules-and keeping them!Google"rules to live by"and you're met with thousands of search results.But how do you know which rules to follow?(16)FFortunately,here is a 3step process to help you set your own rules.That way,you can actually follow your own advice and do what works for you.
Step 1.(17)CThis can be a goal you want to achieve or a quality you want to own.Once you've decided what you want,you must determine why you want it.Knowing your"why"will take care of your"how".
Step 2.Evaluate what's not currently working.Once you know what you want and why you want it,it's important to look at what's not currently working in your life.If you want to eat healthily,you need to identify what you're currently not doing.(18)EThis will prevent you from repeating mistakes.
Step 3.Determine what your"ends rule"and your"means rule"will be.These rules should be a guideline that moves you towards your goals.A means rule is what you need to do to get started performing that rule.(19)GAn ends rule is what you would like your rule to be.For example,"I never miss a workout."
But you can set yourself up to win by making your rule really easy to meet in the beginning.If you're unsure of what your means rule should be,ask yourself,"Would I need to motivate myself to do X?"(20)D
Once you set your own rules,they become rules with no exception.Take action and they'll keep you on track with your goals.

A.Set a goal and determine to achieve it.
B.As an example,"I want to lose weight."
C.Decide what you want and why you want it.
D.If you answer no,that's a good place to start.
E.Write down everything that isn't working,or hasn't worked before.
F.With so much information available online,it's easy to feel confused.
G.For example,"I always put my workout clothes on when I get home from work."

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了如何设置自己的规则和保持自己规则的方法.

17.C.推理判断题.根据后文This can be a goal you want to achieve or a quality you want to own.Once you've decided what you want,you must determine why you want it可知要决定你想要什么,你为什么要;故选C.
18.E.推理判断题.根据前文If you want to eat healthily,you need to identify what you're currently not doing可知记下你正在做的和以前没有做过的;故选E.
19.G.推理判断题.根据后文An ends rule is what you would like your rule to be.For example,"I never miss a workout可知例如,"下班回家后,我总是把运动衣穿上;故选G.
20.D.推理判断题.根据前文If you're unsure of what your means rule should be,ask yourself,"Would I need to motivate myself to do X可知如果你的回答是否定的,这是一个很好的开始;故选D.

点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子.解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子.

11.A major source of teen stress is school exams,and test anxiety is not uncommon.When you recognize your een is under stress,how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
Be involved.Parents need to be involved in their teen's work.(36)EWhat they look for is your presence-to talk,to cry,or simply to sit with them quietly.Communicate openly with your teen.Encourge your teen to express her worries and fears,but don't let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized.(37)FTogether,you and your teen can work out a time-table in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting.Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy.Give them a nutritious diet.It is important for your teen to eat a healthy,balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best.(38)B If this happens,encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches.A healthy diet,rather than junk food,is best for reducing stress.
(39)D.Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when she needs a real break from studying.Making time for relaxation,fun,and exercise are all important in reducing stress.Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rst.
Show a positive attitude.(40)AYour panic,anxiety and blame contribute to your teen's pressure.Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts.Most importantly,reassure your teen that things will be all right,no matter what the results are.

A.A parent's attitude will dictate their teen's emotions.
B.Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite.
C.They will only make the situation worse.
D.Encourage your teen to relax.
E.The best thing is simply to listen.
F.Help your teen think about what she has to study and plan accordingly.
G.Your teen may also make negative comments about themselves.
8.Do you dream of the day you can drive a car?In the United States,teenagers can get their driver's license when they are only 16years old,but it feels like forever until that day comes.Trust me,because I've been there.
(26)C But in my opinion,it's worth it because it means having a lot more freedom.I'm from the rural (乡下的) state of Iowa that doesn't have much public transportation,and everything there is really spread out.So until I turned 16,my parents had to drive me pretty much everywhere.
(27)E First,in Iowa,everyone can get their learner's permit at the age of 14,which means you can only drive if your parent is sitting in the seat next to you.
(28)DIn the state of Iowa,if you live more than a mile (1.6km) away from school you can get a school permit.You can only drive to school and back home.Luckily,I lived just over a mile away from school,so I was able to drive my mom's car to school.(29)G
Finally,after taking (and passing) a three-month-long driver's education course and the final test,I was able to get my driver's license.(30)A It did in fact make life quite a bit easier.

A.I could almost taste the freedom already.
B.Still,on the day of my driver's test,I was nervous.
C.Getting a driver's license takes a lot of time and energy.
D.The next step was getting my school permit at the age of 15.
E.There were several steps before I got that special plastic card.
F.To many people,getting a driver's license involves a lot of luck.
G.But if you were caught going outside that route (路线) you would get in big trouble.
