Question

【题目】 Getting along with people can be tough. The following are some suggestions that can help you in some way.

Accept human nature. Humans make mistakes. People aren’ t always nice. They also have all of the problems that you have in your life. 【1】 This is important to remember when you’ re trying to get along with people who are very difficult or seem to be ignoring you; everyone is just doing the best that they can.

【2】 People are all very different: that’ s what makes life interesting. And just like people are all different, the world is also very complex. Every situation is different, always. Just because someone doesn’ t make the choice that you would make or just because they take a less efficient or smart path to get where they’re going doesn’t make them wrong.

Practice forgiveness. Forgive people when they do make mistakes. Sometimes you just have to stop and give people the benefit of the doubt ( to believe someone even though you are not sure whether what the person is saying is true). They might really be sorry or they might really not know that what they did was bad. 【3】

Keep an open mind. Sometimes you have to give people the benefit of the doubt. 【4】 For example, when people invite you to parties, really consider going instead of just brushing the invitation aside because you don’ t think they’re serious.

Do something together. 【5】 You can work together on a project for school or work. You can also try a new activity together. These activities will give you more to talk about and lots of chances to interact and get to know each other.

A. Think about what your words really say.

B. Respect that there are lots of valid choices.

C. Everyone is dealing with their own set of problems.

D. Doing things together is a great way to bond with people and make friends.

E. You have to forgive them so that you can move on to happier feelings.

F. You might think that they hate you but they might be honestly trying to be nice to you.

G. Even when someone’ s making you mad, thank them for their effort to help or their suggestions.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了与人交往时的建议。1. 接受人类的本性。每个人都会犯错误，也会有着和你相同的问题，但要记住每个人在和别人相处的时候有可能已经是做到他的最好了。2. 尊重合理的选择。每个个体都是不同的，这也是生命的有趣之处。和你选择不一样也不代表别人是错的。3. 练习宽恕。在别人犯错的时候要学会原谅。他们可能真的会感到抱歉或者不知道自己做的是错的。4. 保持心胸开阔。有时候你觉得别人可能不喜欢你，但别人可能在试着对你好。5. 共同完成某事。共同做事是将你和其他人连在一起的纽带。这些活动也能让你们能有共同的话题。

【1】在第二段第二句提到“Humans make mistakes.”是人都会犯错的，而这是人类的本性，你有的问题别人也会有。选项C“每个人都在处理自己的事情”承接上文。该选项中的problems与前句中的problems前后呼应。故选C项。

【2】由第三段最后一句提到“与自己的选择不一样的也不代表他的选择是错的”，B选项中的choice与最后一句中的choice前后呼应。故选B项。

【3】第四段空处需选择一句总结性句子。第四段给出的建议为“练习宽恕”，E选项中“你要选择原谅他们，这样才会过的开心”，与第四段第一句呼应，故选E项。

【4】文中第五段提到“保持心胸开阔”，并举了一个例子：别人在邀请你去派对时，认为你一定会去而不是把请柬放在一旁。F选项中提到“你有可能认为别人是讨厌你，但别人是想对你好”，与本段中的例子相呼应，故选F项。

【5】文中第六段提到“共同完成某事”。D选项中“一起做某事是和人交往、交朋友的好方式”切题。故选D项。

分析本文的语篇结构，可以知道第一段是文章的主题句，然后接下来各段的语篇结构都是主题句（总）+支撑句（分）（分述主题的具体内容/说明原因/举例证明等）。本文第二段主旨句应为“Just because someone doesn’ t make the choice that you would make or just because they take a less efficient or smart path to get where they’re going doesn’t make them wrong.”别人和你做不一样的选择，或者别人选了低效率的或其他的道路也不代表别人是错的，B选项中的choice与该主旨句中的choice相呼应，故选B。
