Question

Being healthy means taking care of yourself physically and mentally. Here are some of my best tips on how to do both:
Break a bad habit.
You don’t really “break” habits. __小题1:__. So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible（不能共存的）with what you usually do. You can’t walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.
Grow your marriage.
__小题2:__. It’s always a give-and-take, always requires work. It’s as if you planted a garden and came back six months later─you wouldn’t even be able to find it. __小题3:__.
Beat stress.
My dog, Maggie, is the best anti-stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and __小题4:__. Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I’m on the tennis court. It’s a great workout, and if I don’t have that, I don’t cope as well, sleep as well or think as well.
Refocus your anger.
Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don’t mean. __小题5:__. When you do that, you’re a problem solver.
Don’t medicate(掺入药) with food.
It never, ever works. You’re denying your issue by eating your way through it, instead of saying, “Hey, I’ve got a problem.”

A．You replace the unwanted behavior with something that prevents you from doing it and that doesn’t have unhealthy side effects.

B．I’ll feel easy.

C．If there is a problem, you needn’t deal with it immediately.

D．You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, and deal with the problems.

E. Instead, recognize that anger is usually a symptom of hurt, fear or frustration, and deal with the causes rather than blow up.
F. Relationships are negotiated（协商）, and the negotiation never stops.
G. You do something without any good effect on your health during the time when you usually do something harmful to your body.

点评：在答题中，应首先略读一下对话，了解一下对话的大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文，把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成。完成短文后，再认真通读一遍全文，看看上下语意是否通顺，是否符合逻辑关系。
