【1】C

考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据标题“Tips To Boost Your Confidence”提高自信心的小贴士，及空后的内容“Here are some solutions to boost your confidence in the long run”以下是一些提高你长期信心的方法。可知是与树立自信心有关系。故C符合题意。

【2】E

考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据小标题“Always think positively” 要积极思考。空前我们头脑中都有我们脑子里都有消极的声音。可推出要把消极的东西变成积极的，分析七个选项可知E. 我们可以改变这些声音为积极的东西。故E项符合题意。

【3】A

考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后的一段中的“asses what is possible to change and what is out of reach. It is important to focus on changing the things you have control over” 预测什么是可能改变的，哪些是遥不可及的。把重点放在改变你控制的事情上是很重要的，可知本段要让你改变的东西能实现的，即是现实的。分析选项可知A. 对你能改变的事情要实事求是，符合题意意，故选A。

【4】F
