【解析】
这是一篇说明文。主要说明了一项新的调查,养宠物的人可能在职业上更成功,这对雄心勃勃的宠物父母来说绝对是个好消息。同时说明了研究过程以及养宠物究竟是如何促进事业成功的。
【1】
考查形容词。句意:根据一项新的调查,养宠物的人可能在职业上更成功,这对雄心勃勃的宠物父母来说绝对是个好消息。结合上文may be more professionally(可能更专业)可知应填形容词作表语。故填successful。
【2】
考查动词时态语态。句意:这项调查是由Kelton Global Research为Banfield宠物医院进行的。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,描述过去发生的动作应用一般过去时,主语为survey,谓语动词应用单数。故填was conducted。
【3】
考查固定短语。句意:研究人员调查了美国857名从事不同职业的成年人。表示“各种各样的”短语为 varieties of。故填varieties。
【4】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在接受调查的企业高管中,93%的人在家中养宠物长大,78%的人认为,与宠物一起长大有助于他们成年后事业上的成功。此处为with的复合结构,且hold与逻辑主语78 percent构成主动关系,故用现在分词。故填holding。
【5】
考查名词。句意:根据班菲尔德的研究,高管们报告说,他们的宠物帮助他们学习责任、创造力、同情心和组织能力,这些在商界都是无价的。结合下文creativity, sympathy and organization(创造力,同情和组织)可知应填名词responsibility,表示“责任”。故填responsibility。
【6】
考查定语从句。句意同上。本句为非限制性定语从句修饰上文整个句子,且从句中缺少主语,that不能引导非限制性定语从句,故应用关系代词which。故填which。
【7】
考查介词。句意:布莱恩加里什在班菲尔德宠物医院网站的一份声明中说:在班菲尔德宠物医院,我们早就认识到人们和宠物之间的特殊纽带,以及宠物对我们社会的积极影响。结合句意表示“对……有影响”短语为have an impact on/upon…。故填on/upon。
【8】
考查名词的数。way为可数名词,根据上文From the pet ownership lessons we learned as children中lesson为复数形式,可知此处也应用复数形式。故填ways。
【9】
考查连接词。句意:我们最新的研究支持了我们一直以来的观点,即宠物和它们帮助我们塑造人类形象的能力之间可能存在联系。本句为同位语从句,从句中不缺少成分,故应用that。故填that。
【10】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知help在句中应用非谓语动词,且此处修饰名词ability应用不定式,表示“有做某事的能力”短语为ability to do sth.。故填to help。

Introduction to anger
Anger is a natural reaction which comes out when we feel that we have not been given a fair treatment. The positive side of this negative emotion is that it has helped us to evolve as humans and cope in a better manner with our surroundings. However, it tends to become a problem when we fail to control it. Many a time it happens that your anger has hurt others or has spoiled one of your relationships for which you regret later. It has some bad effects on the health, too.
We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those around us whom we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make you more upset. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member, about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a better chance of finding a solution to your problem. Besides, there are no better stress relievers than humor. When you feel that it is because of stress that your anger is becoming unmanageable, you can use humor. It can help you look at difficult things in a lighter way and you will feel better about the things around you.
Anger tends to make us have a lot of negative thoughts. Therefore, we have to change the negative thoughts into positive ones. For this you have to first refuse all the negative thoughts that are in your mind one by one. This can be done with a lot of practice. Once you are successful in that, you have to maintain your focus only on the positive things of life.
Meditation (冥想) is an excellent anger management technique. In addition, what we do is disconnect ourselves from the outer world and focus all our attention into the inner world. This helps us develop a sense of controlling our thoughts that tend to cause anger.
