How do I know this is what has to be done? ____16____” If you’d like to get to find your true path in life, here are some questions you’ll have to answer. · Why do you want to find your true path in life? One thing is clear that you want to bring some changes to your life. Being honest about why you want to achieve that can provide you with a powerful incentive (激励) that will drive you towards your goals. Write down the things that cross your mind when you think of your whys. ____17____ You are a unique person with unique needs and wishes. · ____18____ Is this your authentic (真正的) need or is it something that is trendy and you want to try it out? Ask yourself this question whenever you catch that “I’m a little bit bored right now” thought. Maybe you don’t need to bring radical changes into your life. Remember that how we approach certain obstacles can define how we feel when trying to overcome them. ·What is important to me? You can start by writing down what is important to you. ____19____ Take your time. My advice is to start with simpler things, for instance, working out regularly, spending quality time with friends and family, learn to play an instrument etc. From there you can work on more sophisticated ideas, becoming more tolerant and accepting. · Am I self-aware? Do you value constructive criticism? Are you always honest? If your answer to these questions is no, then you need to work on your self-awareness. ____20____ Finding your true path in life is a slow process. Finally, let me finish by a quote, “To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others.” A. Is this my choice? B. What responsibilities should you take? C. Don’t make your list in just one sitting. D. Your reasons should be important only for you. E. If not, is there a guide I can read and memorize? F. This is because it can apply to every aspect of your life G. Don’t worry if you are unable to answer these questions right this very moment. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. A 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。作者提供了一系列问题和反思，以引导读者探寻和发现自己人生中的真正道路。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Walking the path of life is no more different than exploring uncharted territories, many of us stop occasionally and ask ourselves questions such as: “Am I doing this right? How do I know this is what has to be done?(走在人生的道路上和探索未知的领域没有什么不同，我们中的许多人偶尔会停下来问自己这样的问题：“我这样做对吗？我怎么知道这是必须要做的？”)”可知，此处是在列举许多人问自己的问题，所以E项“If not, is there a guide I can read and memorize?(如果没有，有没有我可以阅读和记忆的指南？)”符合，也是在列举问题，且承接前句。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Being honest about why you want to achieve that can provide you with a powerful incentive (激励) that will drive you towards your goals. Write down the things that cross your mind when you think of your whys.(诚实地说出你想要实现目标的原因可以为你提供强大的动力，推动你朝着目标前进。当你想到为什么的时候，写下你脑海中闪过的东西。)”可知，本段讲述了为什么找到自己真正的人生道路的原因，根据后文“You are a unique person with unique needs and wishes.(你是一个独特的人，有着独特的需求和愿望)”可知，每个人的原因不同，所以D项“Your reasons should be important only for you.(你的理由应该只对你自己重要)”符合此处主题。故选D项。 【18题详解】 分析设空，为本段小标题，根据后文“Is this your authentic (真正的) need or is it something that is trendy and you want to try it out? Ask yourself this question whenever you catch that . ”I’m a little bit bored right now“ thought. Maybe you don’t need to bring radical changes into your life. Remember that how we approach certain obstacles can define how we feel when trying to overcome them.(这是你真正的需求，还是只是一种潮流，你想尝试一下？每当你陷入“我现在有点无聊”的想法时，问自己这个问题。也许你不需要给你的生活带来彻底的改变。记住，我们如何处理某些障碍，可以决定我们在克服它们时的感受。)”可知，文中提到了问自己这个问题，但是前文未有提及，所以应是小标题为一个问题，，所以A项“Is this my choice?(这是我的选择吗？)”符合，且和本段内容切合。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“You can start by writing down what is important to you.(你可以从写下对你重要的事情开始。)”以及后文“Take your time.(慢慢来。)”可知，此处主要讲述列出对你重要的事情，所以C项“Don’t make your list in just one sitting.(不要一次就列出你的清单。)”符合此处主题，且引出下文。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Finding your true path in life is a slow process. Finally, let me finish by a quote, “To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others.”(找到人生真正的道路是一个缓慢的过程。最后，让我用一句话来结束，“征服自己比征服别人更艰巨。”)”可知，本段是本文的总结段，是对本文的总结，所以G项“Don’t worry if you are unable to answer these questions right this very moment.(如果你现在不能回答这些问题，也不要担心。)”符合本段主题，是对前文的总结，且和后文构成顺承关系。故选G项。 2. 24-25 苏州市九校联考 高三上 12月教学质量调研 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When the world-famous author J.K. Rowling gave a speech at a Harvard University graduation ceremony, some may have a little surprised by the topic she chose: “The Benefits of Failure”. Rowling’s first novel was rejected by 12 publishers before it was finally published. However, it was this experience that helped her to succeed. _______16_______ She discovered that she had a strong will, and more discipline than she had expected. The late Apple CEO Steve Jobs experienced failure early in his career, when he was fired form the company he had co-founded. He felt despair and rejection. However, it was, in his view, “the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. _______17_______” Even Bill Gates has experienced failure. His first company was called Traf-O-Data, but unfortunately, its product didn’t work. _______18_______ But what Gates learnt from this experience helped lay the groundwork for the global success that is now Microsoft. He didn't make the same mistake twice. _______19_______ At tough moments in their lives, they showed grit. But what is “grit” exactly? Put simply, it’s a passion for something and the determination to work hard and to stick with it. It’s very easy to give up when we hit setbacks, but people who have grit keep going. So how can we become “grittier”? _______20_______ If we can learn how to manage failure, we’ll learn how to succeed. By working through a series of failures, we’re better prepared for the bigger challenges we’ll face in the adult world: We’ll have the resilience we need to keep going. We’ll have true grit. A. It was a total disaster. B. As beginners they lack experience. C. This is where the importance of failure comes in. D. All these individuals share something in common. E. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. F. With a strong will, the idea was turned into a successful product. G. Failure taught her things that she could have learnt no other way. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. A 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了失败和勇气的关系。 【16题详解】 根据上文“However, it was this experience that helped her to succeed(然而，正是这段经历帮助她取得了成功)”可知，上文提到了失败的好处，所以选项进一步解释为通过失败学到独特的东西。故G选项“失败教会了她其他途径学不到的东西”切题。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything(成功的沉重被重新开始的轻松和对每件事都不那么确定所取代)”可知，选项承接上文继续说明重新开始的轻松和对每件事都不那么确定所取代对作者的影响。故E选项“它解放了我，让我进入了一生中最有创造力的时期之一”切题。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“His first company was called Traf-O-Data, but unfortunately, its product didn’t work.(他的第一家公司叫Traf-O-Data，但不幸的是，它的产品并不奏效)”可知，选项补充说明结果。故A选项“这完全是一场灾难”切题。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“At tough moments in their lives, they showed grit.(在生活的艰难时刻，他们表现出了勇气)”可知，这三个人的共同之处是有勇气。所以选项承接下文说明他们有共同之处。故D选项“所有这些人都有共同之处”切题。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“So how can we become “grittier”?( 那么，我们怎样才能变得“更有勇气”呢？)”可知，选项承接上文说明“更有勇气”和失败的关系。故C选项“这就是失败的重要性所在”切题。故选C项。 3. 24-25 常州市联盟校 高三上 12月月考 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。 When we feel empathy, we are able to see the world from another person’s perspective. ___36___ . Here are several top empathy examples. Sense someone’s emotions. A highly empathetic person is in tune with others’ non-verbal cues, like body language. ___37___ . They can also sense feelings such as sadness, happiness, or anger before it’s expressed. These individuals are sensitive to the emotions of those around them, which allows them to experience greater empathy, including feeling others’ pain and sadness. Imagine yourself in someone’s situation. Empathy is about being able to understand how someone else feels by putting yourself in their position. ___38___. People who have faced personal pain often good at this, as their lived experiences help them understand others’ emotions. In contrast, a privileged person may feel sympathy but struggle to connect emotionally, as they have not faced similar tough situations in their own lives. Feel strongly for people who share your identity. ___39___ . This is because we understand their feelings from our own past. We can also envision ourselves in their situation in the future. For instance, a person of color witnessing another person of color being mistreated by the police not only recognizes the social injustice but also feels anger because it affects their group. They might fear that they could be in the same situation next week. Taking the time to listen to someone and show that we understand their experiences can reduce stress, build trust, and strengthen community. ___40___ . This is because they allow us to see things from another person’s perspective. By using these statements, we can connect more deeply with others and create a more compassionate world. A. We know the feeling ourselves. B. Empathy statements are helpful in resolving conflicts. C. They notice these cues as indicators of emotional states. D. These are the sorts of people who are usually highly empathetic. E. You can relate to their feelings because you’ve experienced them before. F. We tend to empathize more with people who share similar life experiences. G. This can lead to a deeper understanding of their experience and a proper response. 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. E 39. F 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了同理心的作用以及一些有同理心的例子。 【36题详解】 根据上文“When we feel empathy, we are able to see the world from another person’s perspective.(当我们有同理心时，我们就能从别人的角度看世界)”可知，上文提到了同理心可以让我们从别人的角度看世界，本句承接上文，说明这样做所带来的影响。故G选项“这可以使我们更深入地了解他们的经历并作出适当的反应”符合语境，故选G。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Sense someone’s emotions. A highly empathetic person is in tune with others’ non-verbal cues, like body language.(感受别人的情绪。一个有高度同理心的人会与他人的非语言暗示合拍，比如肢体语言)”以及后文“They can also sense feelings such as sadness, happiness, or anger before it’s expressed. These individuals are sensitive to the emotions of those around them, which allows them to experience greater empathy, including feeling others’ pain and sadness.(他们还能在情绪表达出来之前感知到悲伤、快乐或愤怒等情绪。这些人对周围人的情绪很敏感，这让他们有更多的同理心，包括感受别人的痛苦和悲伤)”可知，上文提到一个有高度同理心的人会注意到肢体语言，推测本句主要说明他们是如何利用肢体语言的。故C选项“他们注意到这些线索是情绪状态的指示器”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Imagine yourself in someone’s situation. Empathy is about being able to understand how someone else feels by putting yourself in their position.(想象自己处在别人的处境中。同理心就是设身处地理解别人的感受)”以及后文“People who have faced personal pain often good at this, as their lived experiences help them understand others’ emotions. In contrast, a privileged person may feel sympathy but struggle to connect emotionally, as they have not faced similar tough situations in their own lives. (经历过个人痛苦的人往往擅长于此，因为他们的生活经历有助于他们理解他人的情绪。相比之下，一个有特权的人可能会感到同情，但很难在情感上联系起来，因为他们在自己的生活中没有遇到过类似的艰难处境)”可知，上文提到同理心就是设身处地理解别人的感受，后文则说经历过个人痛苦的人更加擅长理解别人的感受，说明能够理解他人感受是因为自己经历过类似的事情。故E选项“你能理解他们的感受，因为你以前经历过”符合语境，故选E。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Feel strongly for people who share your identity.(对和你有相同身份的人有强烈的感情)”以及后文“This is because we understand their feelings from our own past. We can also envision ourselves in their situation in the future. For instance, a person of color witnessing another person of color being mistreated by the police not only recognizes the social injustice but also feels anger because it affects their group. They might fear that they could be in the same situation next week. (这是因为我们从自己的过去中了解他们的感受。我们也可以想象自己未来处于他们的处境。例如，一个有色人种看到另一个有色人种受到警察的虐待，不仅认识到社会的不公正，而且感到愤怒，因为这影响了他们的群体。他们可能会担心自己下周会处于同样的境地)”可知，本段主旨是“对和你有相同身份的人有强烈的感情”，后文提到“这是因为我们从自己的过去中了解他们的感受”，说明我们对那些和自己有相同经历的人更容易有同理心。故F选项“我们更倾向于同情那些有着相似生活经历的人”符合语境，故选F。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Taking the time to listen to someone and show that we understand their experiences can reduce stress, build trust, and strengthen community.(花时间倾听别人，并表明我们理解他们的经历，可以减轻压力，建立信任，加强社区)”以及后文“This is because they allow us to see things from another person’s perspective. By using these statements, we can connect more deeply with others and create a more compassionate world.(这是因为他们允许我们从另一个人的角度看问题。通过使用这些语句，我们可以更深入地与他人联系，创造一个更富有同情心的世界)”可知，上文建议倾听别人，理解别人的经历，后文则提到使用语句，可知本句是在论述通过有同情心的语句来帮助他人，B选项中Empathy statements对应后文there statements。故B选项“同理心陈述有助于解决冲突”符合语境，故选B。 4. 24-25 江苏省G4（南师附中、无锡天一、南通海安、海门四校） 高三上 12月联考 根据短文内容，从短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。 A visit to a botanical garden may seem like just another outdoor activity, but it offers unique experiences that go beyond a simple stroll among plants. ___16___ They are sanctuaries (庇护所) where people can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and find peace amidst nature’s beauty.

(参观植物园可能看起来只是另一种户外活动，但它提供的独特体验远不止在植物间简单地散步。)”及下文“They are sanctuaries (庇护所) where people can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and find peace amidst nature’s beauty. Visitors can unwind, explore the serene environment, and leave feeling refreshed. (它们是人们可以逃离日常生活的喧嚣，在大自然的美景中找到宁静的庇护所。游客可以放松身心，探索宁静的环境，然后离开时感到精神焕发。)”可知，上文介绍了参观植物园不仅仅是一次简单的户外活动，下文介绍了植物园是人们逃离日常生活喧嚣的庇护所。因此，本空应概括植物园的整体价值或特性。C选项“Botanical gardens are much more than collections of plants. (植物园不仅仅是植物的聚集地。)”可知，对植物园进行概述，能承上启下，符合题意。故选C。 【17题详解】 由上文“Beyond providing a place for relaxation, botanical gardens serve as educational hubs. They introduce visitors to a wide range of plant species from around the world, each labeled with information about its origin, ecological role, and significance. (除了提供一个放松的地方外，植物园还作为教育中心。它们向游客介绍来自世界各地的各种植物物种，每种植物都标有关于其起源、生态作用和意义的信息。)”可知，上文指出植物园还作为教育中心，提供信息，本空应强调植物园具有教育功能，G选项“Apart from being informative, they are committed to an educational mission.

Dedicated kids’ zones often feature storytelling sessions, games, and educational displays that make learning about plants fun and memorable. (对孩子们来说，这些花园就像活生生的教室，他们可以通过动手活动和互动展览与自然互动。专门的儿童区通常会有讲故事环节、游戏和教育展览，让学习植物变得有趣且难忘。)”可知，这里讲述了植物园为儿童提供特殊区域，本空应强调为年轻游客设计的花园，F选项“Many gardens offer specially designed areas that cater to young visitors. (许多花园都设有专门为年轻游客设计的区域。)”能引起下文，符合题意，F选项中的young visitors与下文children相呼应。故选F。 【19题详解】 由上文“In addition, botanical gardens play a crucial role in conservation efforts. (此外，植物园在保护工作中发挥着至关重要的作用。)”及下文“They collaborate with research institutions to protect endangered species, maintain seed banks, and restore threatened habitats. Supporting botanical gardens not only helps preserve plant diversity but also strengthens global conservation initiatives. (他们与研究机构合作，保护濒危物种，维护种子库，恢复受威胁的栖息地。支持植物园不仅有助于保护植物多样性，还加强了全球保护倡议。)”可知，上文陈述植物园在保护工作中发挥的重要的作用，下文具体阐述做法，本空应强调植物园对保护植物多样性和生态系统至关重要，B选项“They are vital to protecting plant diversity and ecosystems. (它们对保护植物多样性和生态系统至关重要。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选B。 【20题详解】 由上文“Whether enjoying a peaceful walk through the gardens or capturing photos of vibrant blooms, these shared moments help create lasting memories and deepen bonds, all while cultivating a renewed sense of wonder for the natural world. (无论是在花园里悠闲地散步，还是捕捉鲜艳花朵的照片，这些共同的时刻都有助于创造持久的记忆和加深联系，同时培养对自然界的新奇感。)”可知，上文阐述了花园里散步的感觉，本空应强调参观植物园给人们的感觉，A选项“The experience fosters both relaxation and togetherness. (这种体验培养了放松感和亲密感。)”能承接上文，符合题意。A选项中的relaxation and togetherness分别对应上文enjoying a peaceful walk和create lasting memories and deepen bonds。故选A。 5. 24-25 江苏省百校大联考2024-2025 高三上 12月考试 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The human voice: It’s the instrument we all play. It’s the most powerful sound in the world. And yet many people have the experience that when they speak, people don’t listen to them. ____36____ I’d like to suggest that there are four really powerful cornerstones (基石) that we can stand on if we want our speech to be powerful and to make changes. Fortunately, these things spell a word. ____37____ I’m not talking about the stuff that falls from the sky and hits you on the head. I’m talking about this definition, to greet or acclaim (赞扬) enthusiastically, which is how I think our words will be received if we stand on these four things. So what do they stand for? See if you can guess. The H, honesty, of course, being true in what you say, being straight and clear. The A is authenticity (真实性), just being yourself. ____38____ I think it is a lovely way to put it. The I is integrity, being your word, actually doing what you say, and being somebody people can trust. And the L is love. I don’t mean romantic love, but I do mean wishing people well. I think absolute honesty may not be what we want. ____39____ Perhaps that’s not necessary. Tempered with love, of course, honesty is a great thing. But also, if you’re really wishing somebody well, it’s very hard to judge them at the same time. So hail. What would the world be like if we were speaking powerfully to people who were listening consciously in environments which were actually fit for purpose? ____40____ A. I mean, my goodness, you look ugly this morning. B. How can we speak powerfully to make changes? C. The word is “hail,” and that is an idea worth spreading. D. The word is “hail,” and it has a great definition as well. E. The world would be a beautiful and understanding world. F. A friend of mine described it as standing in your own truth. G. This world is incredible, like a toolbox that very few people have ever opened. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. F 39. A 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过四个基石（HAIL）来增强我们的言语力量，从而带来积极的改变。 【36题详解】 空前“And yet many people have the experience that when they speak, people don’t listen to them.(然而，许多人都有这样的经历：当他们说话时，人们不听他们的)”说明了有时候人们不听人说的话，空后“I’d like to suggest that there are four really powerful cornerstones (基石) that we can stand on if we want our speech to be powerful and to make changes.(我想提出，如果我们想让演讲充满力量并带来改变，那么有四个真正强大的基石是我们可以立足的)”说明我们可以基于四个基石来做出改变，B选项“How can we speak powerfully to make changes?(我们怎样才能有力地表达以带来改变呢？)”提出了我们要怎么带来改变，承上启下，符合语境，故选B。 【37题详解】 空后“I’m not talking about the stuff that falls from the sky and hits you on the head. I’m talking about this definition, to greet or acclaim (赞扬) enthusiastically, which is how I think our words will be received if we stand on these four things.(我说的不是从天上掉下来砸在你头上的东西。我说的是这个定义，热情地欢迎或欢呼，我认为如果我们站在这四件事上，我们的话就会被接受)”说明“我”说的不是天上掉下来的东西，因此空格处要提到一个从天而降可能砸到人头上的东西，而且要提到定义，D选项“The word is “hail,” and it has a great definition as well.(这个词是“冰雹”，它也有一个很好的定义)”和天上掉下的东西有关，也提到了定义，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选D。 【38题详解】 空前“The A is authenticity (真实性), just being yourself.(A代表真实性，做你自己)”说明了A代表要做自己，空格处应该和做自己有关，F选项“A friend of mine described it as standing in your own truth.(我的一个朋友把它描述为坚持自己的真理)”说明坚持自己的真理，也就是做自己，承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 【39题详解】 空前“I think absolute honesty may not be what we want.(我认为绝对的诚实可能不是我们想要的)”说明绝对的诚实可能不是我们想要的，说明绝对的诚实可能也有不好的一面，A选项“I mean, my goodness, you look ugly this morning.(我的天啊，你今天早上看起来真丑)”说的是一种不好的诚实，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选A。 【40题详解】 空前“What would the world be like if we were speaking powerfully to people who were listening consciously in environments which were actually fit for purpose?(如果我们在合适的环境中对有意识倾听的人有力地说话，世界会变成什么样子？)”提出问题，问如果我们在合适的环境中对有意识倾听的人有力地说话，世界会变成什么样子，回答应该是说世界会变成什么，E选项“The world would be a beautiful and understanding world.(这个世界将会是一个美丽且充满理解的世界)”说明这个世界将会变得美丽又充满理解，是对空前问题的回答，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 6. 24-25 江苏省四市十校联盟 高三上 12月阶段联测 根据短文内容，从短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。 Gratitude (感激) is a useful tool for transforming negative attitudes and developing a more positive outlook on life. Rooted in the simple act of recognizing and appreciating the good in our lives, gratitude has great benefits. Gratitude can significantly improve mental health. ____16____ This shift in focus can help reshape one’s mindset, promoting a more positive outlook. Studies have shown that practicing gratitude can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Emotionally, gratitude encourages a sense of well-being and contentment. By acknowledging the positive aspects of life, people can defeat feelings of envy and regret. ____17____ Furthermore, gratitude helps individuals build emotional strength, enabling them to better deal with stress and adversity. ____18____ Expressing appreciation to others enhances social bonds and fosters a sense of community. When people feel valued and acknowledged, they are more likely to repay, creating a positive cycle of kindness and support. This can lead to deeper, more meaningful connections with others. Incorporating gratitude into daily life is relatively simple but requires consistency. Keeping a gratitude journal, where one writes down things they are thankful for each day, is a practical way to develop this habit. ____19____ You can do that through a heartfelt note or a verbal “thank you”. Most importantly, scan your thoughts. Do they strengthen negativity? If so, stop. Consider something for which you are grateful in that moment. That thought will begin a shift in your awareness. Do it again. By the third grateful thought, you will likely have many more that naturally follow. Always remember that feelings follow thoughts. ____20____ Gratitude is a simple yet powerful practice, and it holds the potential to transform lives and cultivate a more positive, fulfilling existence. A. It can lead to increased happiness and satisfaction. B. Gratitude strengthens relationships between people. C. Wait to see whether feelings follow thoughts or not. D. Of equal importance is asking yourself some questions. E. Another effective practice is expressing gratitude directly to others. F. When you are feeling sad or angry, check in with your thoughts, and see what you find. G. When people focus on what they are thankful for, they think less about negative thoughts. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. B 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了感激的重要性，并提出了将感激融入日常生活的方法。 【16题详解】 前文“Gratitude can significantly improve mental health.

As a result of taking responsibility, you may experience a range of negative feelings, including guilt and shame. When you’ve done something wrong, it’s completely normal to feel guilty about it. ___19___ While guilt implies that you’re a good person who did something bad, shame makes you view yourself as a bad person. ___20___ So try to understand that making mistakes that you feel ashamed about does not make you a bad person or damage your inner value. A. Self-forgiveness refers to a medical practice. B. You may make excuses or justify your actions. C. Forgiving yourself is important for your mental health. D. Forgiving yourself requires showing regret for what happened. E. These feelings can serve as a bridge to positive behavior change. F.

Set at least one meaningful goal In the mid-1980s, the psychologist Charles Snyder identified three crucial factors forming the basis of Hope Theory, a model researchers still rely on today: First, people must think in a goal-oriented way. More on the other two elements, pathways and agency.) Make it a point to always be working toward at least one goal that’s meaningful by nature, Feldman advises. ___38___.

Call your support team According to Snyder’s research, people who are hopeful tend to have a lot of “agency”, which means the motivation to actually achieve their goals. Getting a good night’s rest, following a healthy diet, and meditating can all promote agency, Feldman says. ___40___. However, sometimes the strongest source of agency is other people. When Feldman is feeling low, he calls his father, who’s his biggest cheerleader. A. Seek for hope in loneliness B. Give yourself permission to be hopeful C. The cure for any despair might be hope D.
