A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance
We all want it to accept and love ourselves.But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
● 37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough.Why do you follow them？Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs？Know that your life is your own；you are the only you in this world.
●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.We are often ashamed of our shortcomings，our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes，time and time again.Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better，why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情心) response? “That didn’t go as planned.But，I tried my best.”
●Recognize all of your strengths.Write them down in a journal.Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness.List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job，earned your degree，and you got out of bed today. 39
●Now that you’ve listed your strengths，list your imperfections.Turn the page in your journal.Put into words why you feel unworthy，why you don’t feel good enough.Now，read these words back to yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are?

【解题导引】 第一步：速读全文，了解大意，掌握结构
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了几个 自我接纳 的小技巧。 为 总—分 结构。
第二步：根据题目设空位置，结合上下文语境，理清逻辑关系
段首类题目一般应关注与 下文 的关系
37．根据下文“Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own；you are the only one in this world.”(你是否希望最终你会因为自己的生活比他们的好而感到有力量？要知道，你的生活是你自己的；你在这个世界上是独一无二的。)可知，本段主要讲述不要把自己和别人作比较，因为生活是我们自己的，我们也是世界上独一无二的。故F.Stop comparing yourself with others.(停止把自己和别人进行比较。)可以作为本段中心句。故选 F 项。
段中类题目一般既要关注 上文 又要兼顾 下文 的逻辑关系
36．根据题目A Few Tips for Self－Acceptance及下文的“Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.”(这有很多可以帮你找到正确方向的方法。)可知，选项B.Where do you start? (你从哪里开始呢？)最合下文语境。故选 B 项。
38．根据本段的中心句“Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.”(原谅自己所犯的错误。)及下文的“You will make mistakes，time and time again.”(你会一次又一次地犯错误。)可知，选项D.Remember，you are only human.(记住，你只是个人。)与上下文衔接最好。故选 D 项。
40．结合上文“Put into words why you feel unworthy，why you don’t feel good enough.Now，read these words back to yourself.”(用语言来解释为什么你觉得自己不值得，为什么你觉得自己不够好。现在，自己读一下这些话。)和下文的“Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are？”(翻到你日记本上记下你的优点和成就的那页。看到你有多棒了吗？)可知，选项A.Feeling upset again？(再次感觉心烦意乱了吗？)最合上下文语境。故选 A 项。
段尾类多关注 总结概括
39．根据上文“List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job，earned your degree，and you got out of bed today.”(列出你所有的成就。你有了一份工作，拿到了学位，今天就起床了。)可知，选项C.Nothing is too small to celebrate.(没有什么事是太小而不值得庆祝。)与上文衔接最好。故选 C 项。
第三步：将选项代入原文，检查上下文语义是否通畅、逻辑关系有无冲突，确定答案。
