Question

【题目】根据短支内容，从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control, hard to find just when you want it most. 【1】 But there are ways to increase your willpower.

Don’t try to change your economic situation，win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Set one clear，specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy，so don’t spread yourself too thin. 【2】

Whatever your goal is，don’t expect to achieve it overnight. 【3】 If you are trying to kick a coffee habit，start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of promising never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements. These successes help your willpower grow.

【4】 Ask friends，family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have risen，for instance，let friends now that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meeting. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.

If possible，change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep a set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home. Quitting smoking? 【5】

A. Real success takes time.

B. Focus on one goal at a time.

C. Change your environment to change your life.

D. Improve your willpower by a support network.

E. Changing your behavior requires more than willpower.

F. Avoid bars or restaurants where you might be attracted to light up.

G. Breaking a bad habit or forming a new and healthy one can be difficult.

试题分析：本文是讨论了意志力的培养，并提出了四种方法帮助人们提高意志力：设立特定的目标；要对成功有耐心；培养自己的交际圈；改变环境，培养积极的生活态度。

【1】G。考查上下文理解。根据下文的But there are ways to increase your willpower但是这是提高你意志力的方法。根据这里的but看，前文应该是“……是困难的”，只有G项最符合本意。故选G。

【2】B考查上下文理解。这句话是对本段的总结，根据这一段的Set one clear，specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve it设定清晰、特定的目标，制定一个切合实际的计划来完成，从而知道该段强调了明确目标的重要性，与B项吻合，故判断选B。

【4】D考查上下文理解。根据空后的那一句话Ask friends，family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help向朋友，家人或同事寻求帮助，并告诉他们如何帮助你。这里强调了人际网的重要性，这里D项“通过支持你的人际网提高你的意志力”，符合题意。故选D。

【5】F考查上下文理解。根据空前的If possible，change your environment to encourage positive behavior如果可能的话，改变你的环境，鼓励积极的行为。这里的F项“避免酒吧和餐馆等这些你可能会被吸引的地方”最符合题意，故选F。
