解答 36-40BFGDE
36.B 上下文语境.本句起到承上启下的作用,根据"Try the following steps…"试试以下措施,可知答案,B项以问句的形式引出下文.
37.F上下文语境.Calm yourself…take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure首先要冷静,深呼吸,或者想象一些令人愉快的事情,F"让愤怒逐渐消散,尝试一个简单的压力管理技巧"符合语境,故选F.
38.G 上下文语境.本段指出,不要等待他人道歉.因为许多时候伤害你的人就没打算道歉,他们也许故意想要伤害你或者和你看问题的方式不同,如果等待他人道歉,就会等相当长的时间.G项中的wait for people to apologize与本段标题一致.
39.D 上下文语境.根据If you understand your offender以及from your offender's point of view可看出,本段标题为D项,即"从冒犯者的角度看问题".
40.E 上下文语境.本段标题为"不要忘记原谅你自己"与E项中的forgiving themselves一致,并且E项与后面的句子之间正好用but连接,有转折的语气.
