There are so many different types of comedy that we aren’t familiar with. Which is funny?
Anecdotes
This form of comedy conveys a true-to-life aspect in the narration of stories, which involve a person or an incident that is worth telling with an end that is amusing. They aren’t really jokes but a way of showing something important as part of the story that is being told.
Blend Words
This form of being humorous is when a comedian or an actor is able to create a new term by combining two words into one. We’re aware of blend words, say, twirl (twist + wiggle) a brunch (breakfast + lunch). But what about those that are creatively made up at will? These unique blends of words are what comedians come up with to tickle your funny bone.
Blunders
This kind of comedy is where the comedian or actor is seen as making a fool of himself to give way to humorous moments. Tripping over oneself and being ridiculous around people are common characteristics of this kind of comedy. This form of humor is also known as “slapstick” comedy.
Irony
Irony is a trope (修辞) that involves something inharmonious between what is expected and what occurs and therefore is a popular type of humor. Irony is described through words or actions to express something completely different from the usual meaning.
Stand-Up Comedy
Stand-up comedy involves a comedian standing up in front of a crowd and amusing them with jokes and funny stories. Well-known stand-up comedians are Benny Hill, Ellen DeGeneres, Queen Latifah, Will Smith, Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman and so on.
21. Which comedy type often has a funny and enjoyable ending?
A. Anecdotes. B. Blend words. C. Blunders. D. Stand-up comedy.
22. What do we know about Irony from the text?
A. It usually involves inventing new terms.
B. It is a short interesting story about famous comedians.
C. It has humorous moments when comedians do something silly.
D. It usually uses words to say the opposite of what you really mean.
23. Where is this passage most probably taken from?
A. A science report. B. A travel brochure.
C. An art magazine. D. An exhibition guide.
【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了喜剧的类型,并向我们展示了喜剧背后的深层内涵。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Anecdotes部分中的第一句“This form of comedy conveys an element of non-fiction in the narration of stories, which involve a person or an incident that is worth telling with an end that is amusing.(这种形式的喜剧在故事叙述中传达了一种非虚构的元素,它涉及一个值得讲述的人或一件事,其结局是有趣的。)”可知,Anecdotes形式的喜剧往往会有一个有趣的结局。故选A。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Irony部分中的最后一句“Irony is described through words or actions to express something completely different from the usual meaning.(反讽是通过言语或行为来表达与通常意义完全不同的东西。)”可知,irony 意为“反语”,是喜剧的一种,通过语言或动作来表达与通常意思完全不同的观点。故选D。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“There are so many different types of comedy that we aren’t familiar with. Which is funny?(有很多不同类型的喜剧我们都不熟悉。哪个有趣?)”和下文内容可知,主要介绍了喜剧的类型,并向我们展示了喜剧背后的深层内涵。由此可知,文章最有可能的出处是Art Magazine(艺术杂志)。故选C。

On March 28, 1976, Ada Limón was born into a family of artists and teachers in Sonoma, California, U.S. By her own account, Limón fell in love with poetry in high school, but much of her time then was spent on theatre productions. She went on to graduate from the University of Washington with a B.A. in drama in 1998.
Limón then graduated with an M.F.A. in poetry in 2001 from the creative writing program at New York University. To support her poetry writing, Limón took a marketing job at Condé Nast, the publisher of such magazines as Vogue and The New Yorker. While her marketing career grew steadily, Limón published three books of poetry.
In 2010, her mother’s death at age 51 inspired her to reconsider her own career. She quit her marketing job and moved to Kentucky to spend her time writing full-time. In 2015, she published Bright Dead Things, which was a finalist (入围作品) for the National Book Awards. The book was praised because it expressed thoughts and feelings in a direct way, covering such themes as aging parents and lasting pain.
Aside from writing poems, Ada Limón also taught at Queens University of Charlotte and hosted a radio show called The Slowdown. She saw these roles as chances to introduce more people to poetry. Her regular work in education and on the radio wasn’t just because she loved poetry; it was also about getting others to love and understand it as something important and easy to relate to in our daily lives.
Limón was named the 24th Poet Laureate in 2022. Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who chose Limón as the laureate, described her as a poet who makes connections. “Her accessible, engaging poems make us aware of where we are and who we share our world with. They speak of beauty and heartbreak in ways that can help us move forward,” said Carla. In 2023, Limón wrote In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa at NASA’s request, which will be carved on the spacecraft planned for the 2024 mission to Europa.
24. What can we learn about Limón’s high school life?
A. She ran a business to support poetry.
B. She preferred art learning to poetry writing.
C. She devoted much time to theatre productions.
D. She took part-time jobs while studying drama.
25. Why was Limón’s Bright Dead Things in 2015 spoken highly of?
A. Because it was frank.
B. Because it was entertaining.
C. Because it was fashionable.
D. Because it was informative.
26. What is the main focus of the 4th paragraph about Limón?
A. Limón’s free-time activities.
B. Limón’s reading experiences.
C. Limón’s achievements in teaching.
D. Limón’s efforts to promote poetry.
27. What did Carla Hayden probably think of Limón’s poems?
A. Humorous. B. Inspiring. C. Confusing. D. Dreamy.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍美国桂冠诗人Ada Limón的诗歌创作经历。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“but much of her time then was spent on theatre productions. She went on to graduate from the University of Washington with a B.A. in drama in 1998.(但她当时大部分时间都花在了戏剧制作上。她继续在华盛顿大学深造,并在1998年获得了戏剧学士学位。)”可知,Limón在学生时代专注于剧作,故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The book was praised because it expressed thoughts and feelings in a direct way, covering such themes as aging parents and lasting pain.(这本书受到了赞扬,因为它以直接的方式表达了思想和情感,涉及了诸如年迈的父母和持久的痛苦等主题。)”可知,这本诗集 Bright Dead Things因其简单坦率的风格,而被人们称赞。故选A项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。概括第四段“Aside from writing poems, Ada Limón also taught at Queens University of Charlotte and hosted a radio show called The Slowdown. She saw these roles as chances to introduce more people to poetry.(Ada Limón除了写诗外,还在夏洛特皇后大学教书,并主持了一个名为《减速》的广播节目。她把这些角色视为向更多人介绍诗歌的机会。)”可知,Limón在诗歌创作之余教授诗歌,在诗歌主题广播秀里担任主持人,所以这一段主要介绍Limón在诗歌推广上的努力。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Her accessible, engaging poems make us aware of where we are and who we share our world with. They speak of beauty and heartbreak in ways that can help us move forward(她的诗歌通俗易懂、引人入胜,让我们意识到我们身在何处,以及我们与谁共享这个世界。它们以能够帮助我们向前迈进的方式讲述美丽和心碎)”可知,Carla Hayden认为Limón通俗易懂的诗歌让我们了解自己的处境,她的诗歌激励我们前行,所以她的诗歌具有启发性。故选B项。
C
A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world.
Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers.
Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are contaminating our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.”
Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.
“Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.”
28. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors?
A. The green of peacocks’ feathers.
B. The orange of bright rainbows.
C. The blue of butterfly wings.
D. The purple of ripe grapes.
29. What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Neutral. B. Useless. C. Attractive. D. Harmful.
30. Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint?
A. Traditional, healthy and cooling.
B. Colorless, healthy and artificial.
C. Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling.
D. Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly.
31. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.
B. Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved.
C. Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings.
D. Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料。这种涂料无需人工合成色素,模仿自然界光反射的原理而形成鲜亮的色彩,同时具备不吸收热量的优点,可以让人们在日益变暖的环境下享受多彩,健康、清凉的生活。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially.(结构色彩不是通过传统的色素沉着创造出来的,而是通过无色材料的排列以特定的方式反射光线,就像雨后彩虹的形成一样。想想你见过的最美丽的颜色——森林绿、酒红或水晶蓝,然而,其中一些几乎是不可能人工重现的)”以及第三段“Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments.(想想那些吃了樱桃后你的嘴会变红,或者你的牛仔裤因为坐在潮湿的草地上而变绿。这些是颜料。)”可知,D选项的葡萄与文章中的樱桃及草相似,含有色素,是非结构色,故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“We are contaminating our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.(我们使用这种油漆正在污染我们的自然。因此,我们的主要动机之一是创造基于无毒材料的颜色)”可知,使用此类涂料会污染自然环境,是有害的,划线单词的含义是“有害的”。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back.(除了结构所能提供的美丽色彩和安全性之外,Chanda还发现,与颜料不同,结构涂料不吸收热量,而是将光反射回去)”和“This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.(这意味着这种环保涂料可以帮助社区在日益变暖的气候中保持凉爽)”可知,新研发的这种涂料的优势在于它模仿自然界的结构色,无需吸收热量就能反射光线创造出鲜明的颜色,而且是基于非毒性材料制成的。因此,选项C“Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling.(鲜艳、环保且具有降温效果)”最能全面概括这种新涂料的优点。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中的“A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever.(佛罗里达州的一组研究人员可能刚刚创造了世界上最酷的油漆)”和末段的“I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.(我希望这种涂料能成为未来更健康、更凉爽的环境)”可知,研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料,使用结构色能帮助人们享受更凉爽和健康的生活,因此主旨是A选项“The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.(结构色涂料可以帮助人们生活得更凉爽、更健康。)”。故选A。

Asha Bradford doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with lots of hobbies, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes frustrated.
Her worry is probably familiar to anyone whose phone is misplaced a dozen times a day, or who can’t find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun. ____32____ That’s a breakdown at the interface of attention and memory, where we are focused on something other than the object we’re going to lose. Here is some advice from experts about how to overcome a tendency to misplace things:
Take pictures. ____33____ Take a picture of your parking spot. The same advice applies to lots of things: Photograph all those spots where you store easy-to-lose objects, and when you can’t find them, pull up the photo.
____34____ Dennis recommends designating (指定) a color that you love and using that color key ring and phone case, so that when you’re scanning, you’re always looking for your favorite color. You could also put reflective tape on the TV remote. It will make it easier to find when it appears.
Set up a routine. That might mean placing a basket by your front door where you drop your keys and wallet immediately upon entering your home, or designating one drawer as the scissors drawer. ____35____ Then, at the end of the day “scan the areas where you’ve been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots.
Be kind to yourself. It’s certainly understandable if you’re frustrated with your tendency to misplace things and you start to think that there’s something wrong with you. Then, you get anxious about that and even less likely to focus and keep track of your belongings. ____36____
A. Invest in technology.
B. Make your belongings stand out.
C. So remember to treat yourself well.
D. Did you ever have trouble starting your car?
E. Losing things results from absentmindedness.
F. In this way, you make a “home” for everything.
G. Ever wander around the parking lot because you can’t find your car?
【答案】32. E 33. G 34. B 35. F 36. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了很多人会因为乱放物品然后一时找不到物品的情况,并针对这个问题提出了一些可行的解决办法,文章结构框架是总分关系。
【32题详解】
上文“Her worry is probably familiar to anyone whose phone is misplaced a dozen times a day, or who can’t find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun.(对于那些一天有十几次手机放错地方,或者在最喜欢的节目开始后十分钟才找到电视遥控器的人来说,她的担忧可能很熟悉)”讲述了有些人乱放物品然后一时找不到物品的情况,下文“That’s a breakdown at the interface of attention and memory, where we are focused on something other than the object we’re going to lose. (这是在注意力和记忆的界面上的一种崩溃,我们专注于我们将要失去的对象之外的其他东西。)”可知,此空设于段中,上下文逻辑上有解释关系,E选项“失去东西是由于心不在焉造成的。”和下文一起解释了为什么会出现这种情况的原因,选项中的absentmindedness意指下文的a breakdown at the interface of attention and memory,同时从语法层面来看,考查了前后文的指代关系,空格后的That指代前文的内容。故选E项。
【33题详解】
此空设于段中,通过上文“Take pictures.(拍照)”和下文的“Take a picture of your parking spot. (给你的停车位拍张照片。)”提示和段落大意可得知,建议给东西拍照(来找到它们),该空内容应该与在停车场找不到车时可以拍照片相关,G项“曾经因为找不到你的车而在停车场徘徊吗?”,G项有同词复现parking lot。故选G项。
【34题详解】
此空设于段首,是本段的主题句。通过下文的“Dennis recommends designating (指定) a color that you love and using that color key ring and phone case, so that when you’re scanning, you’re always looking for your favorite color. (丹尼斯建议指定一种你喜欢的颜色,并使用那种颜色的钥匙扣和手机壳,这样当你在扫描寻找时,你总是在寻找你最喜欢的颜色。)”可以得出段落主题应该是B项“让你的个人物品显眼一些。”另外,本段与前后段落是平行并列关系,句式要保持一致,用祈使句。干扰项A则利用句式一致设陷。故选B项。
【35题详解】
此空设于段中,根据上文的主题提示“Set up a routine.(创建常规)”和下文的“Then, at the end of the day “scan the areas where you’ve been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots. (然后,在一天结束时,‘扫描你去过的地方,找到需要带回家的物品,并将它们放回原位。’)”可以得知,应该让每件东西都放在应有的位置上,也就是给它们找个家,F项“通过这种方式,你可以为所有的东西建立一个‘家’。”。故选F项。
【36题详解】
此空设于段尾,既是对上文的总结,也与段落首句“Be kind to yourself. (对自己好一些)”前后呼应,C项“所以记得好好对待自己。”。故选C项。

【55题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同上。根据空白处后面的名词opening concert可知此处特指音乐会的开幕式,应填入定冠词the,故填the。

【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:新剧院的建设始于2015年。根据上文“The construction(建设)”以及下文“the new theater(新剧院)”可知此处说的是新剧院的建设,前后为所属关系,应使用介词of,故填of。

【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:中国文化元素,如中国凤凰,被广泛地运用于剧院的设计之中。分析句子结构可知空白处应填入副词widely作状语修饰动词used,故填widely。

There are so many different types of comedy that we aren’t familiar with. Which is funny?
Anecdotes
This form of comedy conveys a true-to-life aspect in the narration of stories, which involve a person or an incident that is worth telling with an end that is amusing. They aren’t really jokes but a way of showing something important as part of the story that is being told.
Blend Words
This form of being humorous is when a comedian or an actor is able to create a new term by combining two words into one. We’re aware of blend words, say, twirl (twist + wiggle) a brunch (breakfast + lunch). But what about those that are creatively made up at will? These unique blends of words are what comedians come up with to tickle your funny bone.
Blunders
This kind of comedy is where the comedian or actor is seen as making a fool of himself to give way to humorous moments. Tripping over oneself and being ridiculous around people are common characteristics of this kind of comedy. This form of humor is also known as “slapstick” comedy.
Irony
Irony is a trope (修辞) that involves something inharmonious between what is expected and what occurs and therefore is a popular type of humor. Irony is described through words or actions to express something completely different from the usual meaning.
Stand-Up Comedy
Stand-up comedy involves a comedian standing up in front of a crowd and amusing them with jokes and funny stories. Well-known stand-up comedians are Benny Hill, Ellen DeGeneres, Queen Latifah, Will Smith, Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman and so on.
21. Which comedy type often has a funny and enjoyable ending?
A. Anecdotes. B. Blend words. C. Blunders. D. Stand-up comedy.
22. What do we know about Irony from the text?
A. It usually involves inventing new terms.
B. It is a short interesting story about famous comedians.
C. It has humorous moments when comedians do something silly.
D. It usually uses words to say the opposite of what you really mean.
23. Where is this passage most probably taken from?
A. A science report. B. A travel brochure.
C. An art magazine. D. An exhibition guide.
B
On March 28, 1976, Ada Limón was born into a family of artists and teachers in Sonoma, California, U.S. By her own account, Limón fell in love with poetry in high school, but much of her time then was spent on theatre productions. She went on to graduate from the University of Washington with a B.A. in drama in 1998.
Limón then graduated with an M.F.A. in poetry in 2001 from the creative writing program at New York University. To support her poetry writing, Limón took a marketing job at Condé Nast, the publisher of such magazines as Vogue and The New Yorker. While her marketing career grew steadily, Limón published three books of poetry.
In 2010, her mother’s death at age 51 inspired her to reconsider her own career. She quit her marketing job and moved to Kentucky to spend her time writing full-time. In 2015, she published Bright Dead Things, which was a finalist (入围作品) for the National Book Awards. The book was praised because it expressed thoughts and feelings in a direct way, covering such themes as aging parents and lasting pain.
Aside from writing poems, Ada Limón also taught at Queens University of Charlotte and hosted a radio show called The Slowdown. She saw these roles as chances to introduce more people to poetry. Her regular work in education and on the radio wasn’t just because she loved poetry; it was also about getting others to love and understand it as something important and easy to relate to in our daily lives.
Limón was named the 24th Poet Laureate in 2022. Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who chose Limón as the laureate, described her as a poet who makes connections. “Her accessible, engaging poems make us aware of where we are and who we share our world with. They speak of beauty and heartbreak in ways that can help us move forward,” said Carla. In 2023, Limón wrote In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa at NASA’s request, which will be carved on the spacecraft planned for the 2024 mission to Europa.
24. What can we learn about Limón’s high school life?
A. She ran a business to support poetry.
B. She preferred art learning to poetry writing.
C. She devoted much time to theatre productions.
D. She took part-time jobs while studying drama.
25. Why was Limón’s Bright Dead Things in 2015 spoken highly of?
A. Because it was frank.
B. Because it was entertaining.
C. Because it was fashionable.
D. Because it was informative.
26. What is the main focus of the 4th paragraph about Limón?
A. Limón’s free-time activities.
B. Limón’s reading experiences.
C. Limón’s achievements in teaching.
D. Limón’s efforts to promote poetry.
27. What did Carla Hayden probably think of Limón’s poems?
A. Humorous. B. Inspiring. C. Confusing. D. Dreamy.
C
A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world.
Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers.
Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are contaminating our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.”
Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.
“Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.”
28. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors?
A. The green of peacocks’ feathers.
B. The orange of bright rainbows.
C. The blue of butterfly wings.
D. The purple of ripe grapes.
29. What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Neutral. B. Useless. C. Attractive. D. Harmful.
30. Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint?
A. Traditional, healthy and cooling.
B. Colorless, healthy and artificial.
C. Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling.
D. Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly.
31. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.
B. Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved.
C. Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings.
D. Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially.

Asha Bradford doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with lots of hobbies, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes frustrated.
Her worry is probably familiar to anyone whose phone is misplaced a dozen times a day, or who can’t find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun. ____32____ That’s a breakdown at the interface of attention and memory, where we are focused on something other than the object we’re going to lose. Here is some advice from experts about how to overcome a tendency to misplace things:

____34____ Dennis recommends designating (指定) a color that you love and using that color key ring and phone case, so that when you’re scanning, you’re always looking for your favorite color. You could also put reflective tape on the TV remote. It will make it easier to find when it appears.
Set up a routine. That might mean placing a basket by your front door where you drop your keys and wallet immediately upon entering your home, or designating one drawer as the scissors drawer. ____35____ Then, at the end of the day “scan the areas where you’ve been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots.
Be kind to yourself. It’s certainly understandable if you’re frustrated with your tendency to misplace things and you start to think that there’s something wrong with you. Then, you get anxious about that and even less likely to focus and keep track of your belongings. ____36____
A. Invest in technology.
B. Make your belongings stand out.
C. So remember to treat yourself well.
D. Did you ever have trouble starting your car?
