8.How to live life to the fullest
"Life is like a box of chocolates.You never know what you're going to get."But for those who take critical decisions,life can be different.How true that is!Stare life in the face as you experience it like a roller coaster ride.(36)G Life is made up of choices and decision-making is critical as each choice has both consequences and benefits.Please weigh the latter and always choose life.Always ask what you can learn and how you can move forward,and stop yourself from blaming other people if things aren't the way you would like them to be.
Seize the day.(37)E Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift-that's why it's called the present.Life presents us with a lifetime of opportunities,but the opportunities of a lifetime are got when right choices are followed.Be present to enjoy the moment.Each day is a fresh start with choices just waiting to be explored,so what are you waiting for?
(38)B This is a great way to live life.It means accepting your present the way it is,and offering no resistance to it.However,it does not mean not trying to change it.It means being truly yourself,accepting the present around you,then trying to change it.Often ask yourself:"Has my resistance helped me in any way?"Remember:"Life goes on."
Accept yourself.Don't judge yourself.This is the very first step you must take if you really want to live life to the fullest.Why?Because if you're judging yourself or thinking part of you is wrong,you'll limit yourself.(39)F
(40)A No matter what the situation you find yourself in,always be focused on what you can be learning from it,how you can be growing,and what you can be taking away from it,so that you can respond to similar situations more effectively in the future.
A.Always be learning.B.Fully accept the present.C.Go on enjoying your life.D.Show a positive attitude.E.Live each day as if it's your last day.F.And if you limit yourself,you can't live life to the fullest.G.The meaning of your life is something you create day after day with your own actions and thoughts.

点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子.解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子.
