专题二 阅读七选五
第3讲 根据行文逻辑解题
【辨明题类】
阅读七选五题型,尤其是段中设空题,命题会特别强调设空处前后语义的逻辑性和内容的连贯性以及句子之间的衔接手法。其特点主要是以转折手法引出主题句,或者是用来承上启下的过渡句,也可能是补充前文具体的事实、事例和说明。
【技法点拨】
每篇文章都是一个有机统一的整体,各部分之间存在着一定的内在联系。从逻辑意义上来看,句子之间常常有并列、递进、顺承、转折、解释、因果、例证等关系,甚至有时不止一种关系。因此,做题时要把握文章脉络,弄清其中的逻辑关系。如果文中或选项中出现了逻辑关系词,考生就可以利用其来进行推理判断;如果没有出现逻辑关系词,考生要全面理解文章大意,根据上下文语境弄清文章内在的逻辑关系,然后做出正确的判断。
技法1 利用并列或递进关系解题
并列或递进关系是指后一句对前一句是一种顺承逻辑关系。常见的表示并列关系的标志性词语有first(ly), second(ly), third(ly), next/then, finally/last, first of all, for one thing, for another thing, some...others..., not...but..., to begin with, to conclude等;常见的表示递进关系的标志性词语有also, further, furthermore, even, likewise, similarly, moreover, in addition, what's more, not only...but also...等。

Consider the best method to deliver your message.
If the information you're communicating isn't urgent, consider sending an email.Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. 40
Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort.
E.You may be surprised by what your listeners offer.
F.It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.
G.As the speaker, you already know what you're going to say.
【解题示范】 段尾题。上文“If the information you're communicating isn't urgent, consider sending an email.Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions.”说明了发邮件这种书面沟通的好处,选项“It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.”进一步补充了发邮件的另一个好处,其中的also表明选项与空前一句形成递进关系,且选项中的It指代空前一句的Written communication,them指代空前一句的your audience。故选F。
【技法点拨】
技法2 利用转折或让步关系解题
转折或让步关系是指后一句对前一句构成逆转逻辑关系。常见表示转折或让步关系的标志性词语有but, however, nevertheless, still, yet, while/though/although, or/otherwise, instead, on the contrary, in contrast, in comparison, by comparison等。

In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence.Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short.It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 39 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755.“To make dictionaries is dull(乏味) work,” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of “dull”. 40 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A.I don't often use this dictionary.
B.It takes no account of the context.
C.But I still don't want to replace them.
D.But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
【解题示范】 39.段中题。下文“However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better.(然而,如果我需要检查一个单词的来源或查找其用法的例子,没有什么比这更好的了。)”提到了字典的使用情况,选项“I don't often use this dictionary.(我不经常用这本字典。)”是对字典使用频率的说明,与下文构成转折关系。故选A。
40.段中题。上文“‘To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work,’ wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of ‘dull’.(约翰逊在解释‘dull’的一个定义时写道:‘编字典是件乏味的工作。’)”提到了编写字典是件乏味的工作,下文“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.(花几分钟的时间浏览一两页是一种有益的体验。)”提到浏览字典也是一种阅读的乐趣,选项“But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.(但是一本字典读起来是一种乐趣。)”是作者对字典的评价,与上文的“乏味”形成对比,与上文构成转折关系。故选D。
【技法点拨】
技法3 利用因果关系解题
因果关系是指后一句为前一句的结果(有时后一句为前一句的原因)。常见的标志性词语有so, therefore, thus, consequently, as a result (of), so/such...that..., so that, result in/from, lead to, due to, thanks to, owing to等。

E.For adults, volunteering can provide significant physical health benefits.
F.You may even learn that your kid has a talent you didn't know about before.
G.Volunteering makes you feel capable and inspires you to make the most of each day.
【解题示范】 段尾题。根据段落主旨句“You'll feel like you have more time.”及上文“Yet, research has found that giving your time to community causes actually makes you feel like you have more of it.”可知,设空处需解释“感觉时间更多”的原因。选项“Volunteering makes you feel capable and inspires you to make the most of each day.”中的“makes you feel capable”和“inspires you to make the most of each day”从心理层面解释了为何志愿活动会让人产生时间更充裕的感觉,与“feel like you have more time”形成因果关系。故选G。
【技法点拨】
技法4 利用例证关系解题
例证关系是前后句的某句,是为了证明或解释另一句而举的例子。例证的形式具有多样性,而其实质是思维上的形象(例子、类比等)和抽象(观点)的辩证关系,所用到的思维过程就是基本的归纳(从例子到观点)和演绎(从观点到例子)。行文中常见的标志性词语有for example, for instance, in fact/as a matter of fact, actually, in other words, that is (to say)等。

B.Get the audience involved.
C.The best messages are often simple.
D.Speak directly to what matters to them.
【解题示范】 段中题。上文“Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests.”强调要迎合受众兴趣,选项“Speak directly to what matters to them.”进一步举例说明一个具体做法,即直接针对受众关心的事情进行交流,与上文逻辑一致。故选D。
【技法点拨】
技法5 利用解释关系解题
从逻辑上看,句子之间是解释关系,作者提出观点,紧接着对这个观点进行解释说明。表示解释关系的标志词语有:that is to say, in other words等。因此,把握文章结构,厘清作者所表达的观点至关重要。

Turner wisely said that “doing well” psychologically is being able to roll with the flow of emotions, manage them, communicate clearly and well with others, and master various skills.This requires an internal locus (核心) of control, which implies self-control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. 37 You're self-directed and not reliant on the world to tell you who you are.And you know who you are within all this.
B.They talk about someone's inability to support themselves through work.
C.It's being able to show understanding when communicating with others.

It is not necessarily something bad to develop boredom because the world of imagination lies just beyond it.
It is healthy for the brain.Your brain spends time relaxing and tidying up when you're bored.And just as you feel better when your home is neat and tidy, so it is with your brain.Usually, we are surrounded by non-stop information, which sends the brain into overdrive. 1
2 Often enough:you try your hardest to recall something, but it just won't come to mind.The moment you relax and do something else, your brain retrieves(检索) the information from the deepest part of your memory.Boredom allows your brain to root out information, and solve problems.
It helps you rediscover your creativity.Just as your brain uses boredom to solve problems, this relaxed state also strengthens your creative muscles. 3 It's a place where the mind goes into total relaxation.
It enables you to motivate yourself.Boredom can also mean you're not doing what you really want to do. 4 In other words, if humans didn't get bored, we wouldn't innovate or seek out new adventures.Thus, boredom is the motivation for our intelligence, curiosity and drive to discover new things.
It helps you concentrate. 5 If you learn as a child to bear boredom, the lesson can help you develop valuable tools to help strengthen your self-control and mental discipline in later life.
A.It drives you to explore your interests.
B.It makes you become a better problem solver.
C.Realizing this can help you set goals and go after them.
D.Try to set your mind free to wander and enjoy a daydream.
E.A dull moment gives your stressed brain a chance to recover.
F.This is why many people come up with new ideas while in the shower.
G.Your ability to cope with boredom is related to your capacity to focus.

Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids' toys.Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. 1 For others, Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand's growing number of grown-up sets.
2 Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger.“When something reminds us of a positive memory, we are likely to engage with it because the association recalls those memories.”
3 Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia(怀旧情怀)—from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon's Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults.Barbie isn't just for kids clothes now either, thanks to the recent film and “Barbie-core” fashion trend.
In addition to the trendy appeal, all these revivals can also touch on a feeling of connection during a time of increased division.But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on whether you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection. 4 “But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity,” Ellberger said.“And I feel like that's some of what gets lost, and it isn't impossible.”
Ellberger has a great idea for this.“You are into a certain trend, like toys.There's a good chance you'll find others who are into the same trend. 5 If it was part of everyone's secret Santa or white elephant—that's a really cute way of connecting over this,” she said.
A.The craze goes beyond toys.
B.So, what's with the fascination?
C.It's a great way to form community.
D.Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts.
E.Social media fuels the trend by creating shared experiences.
F.Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults' homes.
G.Childhood favorites have instead become relevant to adults again.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了成年人对童年玩具和怀旧物品的喜爱现象及其背后的心理原因。
【解析】
1.F 段中题。上文“Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults.”提到了一些成年人喜欢收集迷你品牌神秘包或其他盲盒,本空应继续举例说明成年人对童年物品的喜爱,F项“Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults' homes.”能承接上文,符合语境。
2.B 段首题。下文“Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger.”解释了成年人喜欢童年物品的原因,本空应提问为什么成年人喜欢童年物品,B项“So, what's with the fascination?”提出了问题,能引出下文对原因的解释,符合语境。
3.A 段首题。下文“Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia (怀旧情怀)—from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon's Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults.”提到了服装品牌也在利用怀旧情绪,本空应强调这种狂热不仅仅是针对玩具。A项“The craze goes beyond toys.”说明这种怀旧狂热不仅仅局限于玩具,还扩展到了其他领域,能引出下文,符合语境。
4.C 段中题。上文“But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection.”提到怀旧潮流可以增强人与人之间的联系,但需要将这种兴奋转化为现实的互动。空格后引用专家观点,指出“拥有或穿戴相同的东西并不是形成共同身份的实际步骤”。C项“It's a great way to form community.”暗示虽然潮流有助于联系,但仅靠潮流是不够的,能承上启下,符合题意。
5.D 段中题。上文“You are into a certain trend, like toys.There's a good chance you'll find others who are into the same trend.”提到了找到喜欢同样潮流的人,本空应阐述接下来应该采取的行动,D项“Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts.”能承接上文,给出了一个具体的行动建议,即把玩具作为礼物送给这些有共同兴趣的人。
※小贴士:阅读七选五易错点
1.阅读七选五上下文语境中往往出现原词复现、同义词或近义词表达,这是解题的一个重要线索,但是有时不能只看原词复现,而忽视了设空处也有可能是考查句子之间的逻辑。因此,这就需要理解文章的主旨大意,弄清楚前后句子的确切含义,然后才能根据意义的连贯性选出答案。最后要将所选的选项代入原文,验证语言是否通顺,逻辑是否合理,从而确定答案。
2.阅读七选五中的句子所在段落的位置不同,起的作用也不同。命题人之所以采用段首、段中和段尾三种设空方式,是利用设空位置的暗示作用和设空上下文的提示作用来考查考生的逻辑思维能力。但是有时不能只看空位置,要看整篇文章的逻辑关系来解题。
3.阅读七选五语篇结构严谨,段落与段落之间逻辑分明,往往每一段都只讲述文章的一方面,或只涉及整个过程的一部分或一个环节,每一段作用不同。因此,做题时,不能只看上下句,要结合段落来紧扣主题;要准确地理清上下文的逻辑、语义衔接关系和文章的发展脉络,把握语篇整体内容和基本结构,使补全后的短文逻辑通顺、前后连贯、结构完整。

Are you looking for a houseplant that serves as a dramatic background while purifying the air?Give Majesty Palm a try.Here are some tips to help you plant and take care of it.
Guarantee proper light.Majesty Palm is used to living under bigger trees in its natural habitat in Madagascar, making it tolerate indirect light. 1 Therefore, putting it near a sunny window to obtain enough indirect light would be your greatest bet.
Keep the soil wet.Growing it in poorly draining(排水的) soil that has plenty of clay is highly recommended.However, though it likes wet conditions, it will eventually rot if the roots stay constantly below the surface of water. 2
Keep the air humid.The Majesty Palm belongs to tropical plants, which requires humid air. 3 If you happen to live in a home with cold, dry air, you can still grow it by keeping a humidifier in that room.
4 Just like many other plants, Majesty Palm can grow better if you fertilize it properly.Simply fertilize it in spring and summer.Once winter comes with cooler and darker conditions, you do not need to fertilize it at all.
Repot when necessary.Although staying inside the living room all the time, your Majesty Palm can grow big and the pot won't be able to hold it. 5 You just need to increase the pot size by 2 inches and water it two days before repotting so that the soil becomes loose and it's ready for the process.
A.Feed it appropriately.
B.Select fertilizers carefully.
C.Then, it is time to change the container.
D.It has to learn how to survive in such areas.
E.In short, extra water must be able to escape.
F.That is to say, it is not a drought-tolerant plant.
G.It doesn't mean it loves to live in a dark area, though.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何种植室内植物“陛下棕榈”。
【解析】
1.G 段中题。根据上文“Majesty Palm is used to living under bigger trees in its natural habitat in Madagascar, making it tolerate indirect light.”以及后文“Therefore, putting it near a sunny window to obtain enough indirect light would be your greatest bet.”可知,本句与上文构成转折,指出陛下棕榈并不喜欢黑暗,要放在阳光充足的地方。G项“但这并不意味着它喜欢生活在黑暗的地方。”符合语境。
2.E 段尾题。根据上文“Keep the soil wet.Growing it in poorly draining (排水的) soil that has plenty of clay is highly recommended.However, though it likes wet conditions, it will eventually rot if the roots stay constantly below the surface of water.”可知,上文提到根部一直停留在水面以下,它最终会腐烂,但是喜欢潮湿,本句为本段最后一句,总结其如何浇水的问题。E项“总之,多余的水必须能够逸出。”符合语境。
3.F 段中题。根据上文“Keep the air humid.The Majesty Palm belongs to tropical plants, which requires humid air.”可知,前后文提到需要潮湿的空气。由此可知,它不耐旱。F项“也就是说,它不是一种耐旱植物。”符合语境。
4.A 段首题。根据后文“Just like many other plants, Majesty Palm can grow better if you fertilize it properly.Simply fertilize it in spring and summer.Once winter comes with cooler and darker conditions, you do not need to fertilize it at all.”可知,本段主要说明了如何施肥的问题——需要适当施肥,A项对应后文fertilize it properly。
5.C 段中题。根据上文“Repot when necessary.Although staying inside the living room all the time, your Majesty Palm can grow big and the pot won't be able to hold it.”可知,上文提到花盆装不下,结合“必要时换盆”可知需要换容器了。

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly popular in children's lives, from voice-activated assistants like Alexa to AI-powered homework help tools. 1 To help children balance the benefits of AI without nurturing dependency, here are some practical strategies:
Frame AI as a supportive partner, not a solution. 2 If they're working on an assignment, ask them to first attempt it independently.Once they've done their best, they can use AI to check their work or get additional insights.This way, they see AI as an aid in refining their ideas rather than as a replacement for their effort.
3 Mindful technology use involves curiosity about where information comes from.Encourage your child to ask questions like, “How did this answer come to me?” or “Is this information proven?” This not only builds critical thinking but also teaches them to assess AI-generated content with a healthy level of skepticism.
Encourage creativity over convenience.When kids are working on creative projects, such as writing or artwork, suggest they use AI as a brainstorming tool. 4 However, they need to shape those ideas in their unique style.This approach helps them see AI as a springboard for their creativity, not a substitute for their own ideas.
Set boundaries on AI use.Just as you set limits on screen time, establish boundaries for AI use.For example, decide that AI can be used for initial research. 5 These guidelines highlight that while AI is a valuable tool, it should not replace the learning process or independent thinking.
By encouraging your children to view AI as a helpful resource rather than a crutch(依靠), you'll promote their independence, creativity and critical thinking.
A.Model responsible AI use.
B.Teach them to question the source.
C.However, do not use it to complete assignments.
D.Encourage kids to view AI as a helper, not a shortcut.
E.AI can be a great educational tool if used responsibly.
F.For example, if they're writing a story, they can ask AI for topic ideas.
G.While these technologies can be incredibly useful, over-reliance can lead to problems.

How to Take a Good Profile Picture
Your profile picture is often the first impression you make online— 1 .A great profile photo can help you stand out.We'll walk you through simple tips to make it.
2
The first step is to clean your face.If you usually like a clean-shaven look, this is the perfect time.Once your face is prepared, it's time to move on to makeup.A natural look is highly advisable.Be specific in your product selection:avoid shiny makeup and opt for a non-glossy foundation instead, as this will prevent your skin from appearing overly shiny in the final photo.After the face and makeup are sorted, make it suit your hair type.For example, if you have straight hair, wash and give it a good brush; if your hair is thick, proper conditioning is key.
Getting the pose right
3 , and don't stand too far from the camera.A shoulders-up shot with your head centered usually gives the best results.Next, consider the space around your face.You want some breathing room, but not too much distance.As for your expression, choose one that truly reflects your personality. 4 ; tension is easily visible in photos.Practice in the mirror to find your most natural look.Finally, since not everyone has a perfectly balanced face, take test photos from both sides.
Finding a good background
Your choice of location matters significantly.Opting for a natural setting such as a park, backyard, or forest not only brings in a refreshing and lively atmosphere but also benefits from excellent outdoor lighting.If you're aiming for something more professional, an office or library can be ideal.Your bedroom, too, can be a great option.A tidy, well-lit bedroom can add a personal touch and a cozy feeling.Select a clean, minimalistic backdrop that enhances your appearance without overshadowing the image. 5 .
A.Having your face right

As we all know, not all thoughts are welcome.Intrusive(入侵的) thoughts often emerge as unwanted visitors, disrupting our minds.They are involuntary and unwanted mental ideas or urges that pop into our minds without invitation. 1
Most people experience intrusive thoughts from time to time.For example, if someone is driving, they might have an urge to drive off a bridge.Most people know they would never do such things and don't pay much attention to them. 2 And they worry that these thoughts will come true or cause them to do something terrible.This can lead to them performing compulsions(强制行为) to try and reduce their anxiety.
Fortunately, there are strategies to deal with intrusive thoughts.
Accept them.Accept and allow the thoughts into your mind. 3 Try to just observe them and allow time to pass.Remember that intrusive thoughts are normal, and just having a thought doesn't make it come true.
4 We know it's difficult sometimes!Developing a sympathetic mindset toward yourself can do so much against unwanted thoughts, though.Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer to a friend going through a similar struggle.
Stay present.The more present you are in the “here and now”, the less power you're giving to these nagging fears and negative thoughts.You can try some grounding exercises, such as focusing on your breath. 5
A.Love yourself.
B.Don't try to push them away.
C.Never be too hard on yourself.
D.However, some people become troubled by their intrusive thoughts.
E.They can be anything that a person finds inconsistent with their values.
F.That can help bring your attention back and break the cycle of intrusive thoughts.
G.People who have such terrible experiences may be easy to have intrusive thoughts.

The benefits of jogging for our health are widely known, but the running trend that's not only good for you but also good for the planet has become more popular than ever too—welcome to “plogging(拾荒慢跑)”, which is effectively jogging while simultaneously stopping to pick up rubbish. 1 .
Plogging is a fantastic workout
Plogging is a combination of cardio, functional resistance and interval training.Aside from jogging, when you're collecting the litter, you'll be reaching, stretching, bending, squatting and constantly using your core muscles. 2 .In addition, as you'll be constantly moving and stopping, you'll be engaging in interval training which is incredibly effective for burning calories and improving your aerobic capacity.
3
With plogging, you can go at your own pace, however fast or slow that may be, and the fact you get to take breaks to collect litter makes it a popular training option for people of all ages and abilities.Different ploggers can achieve their respective goals.
Plogging is easier to stick to
4 , which could keep you running for longer.Whether you're plogging alone or in a group, there's a huge social element because your small workout is part of a bigger public cause and this can offer an extra bit of much needed impetus(动力)!
Plogging is beneficial for mental health
Aside from the physical benefits, plogging can also help keep psychologically healthy.Exercise triggers a release of endorphins (内啡肽) which can leave you feeling great post-workout, and spending time outdoors away from the busyness and distractions of day-to-day life gives you time to switch off and recharge. 5 .On the surface, litter picking can look like an act of selflessness but actually can offer benefits for the plogger too.
A.This is essential for your well-being
B.Plogging is popular around the world
C.It's easier to calm down in quiet spaces
D.Therefore it provides a full body workout
E.Plogging is suitable for runners of all abilities
F.The hunt for rubbish adds in additional motivation

In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence.Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short.It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 39 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755.“To make dictionaries is dull(乏味) work,” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of “dull”. 40 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.

Build an air quality emergency kit
4 The kit has items you will need and keep it in an accessible area for quick access.When building your kit, masks and respirators should have a NIOSH N-95 or P100.Choose an air purifier that's designed to tackle the size room you're using it in.
Clean-up
Removing ash from wildfires or dust from a storm can cause particles to become airborne and pose a hazard to your lungs.You should also avoid using leaf blowers that can kick dust and ash up into the air. 5 For cleaning up indoor areas, use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to keep from kicking particles up into the air.

It is not necessarily something bad to develop boredom because the world of imagination lies just beyond it.
It is healthy for the brain.Your brain spends time relaxing and tidying up when you're bored.And just as you feel better when your home is neat and tidy, so it is with your brain.Usually, we are surrounded by non-stop information, which sends the brain into overdrive. 1
2 Often enough:you try your hardest to recall something, but it just won't come to mind.The moment you relax and do something else, your brain retrieves(检索) the information from the deepest part of your memory.Boredom allows your brain to root out information, and solve problems.
It helps you rediscover your creativity.Just as your brain uses boredom to solve problems, this relaxed state also strengthens your creative muscles. 3 It's a place where the mind goes into total relaxation.
It enables you to motivate yourself.Boredom can also mean you're not doing what you really want to do. 4 In other words, if humans didn't get bored, we wouldn't innovate or seek out new adventures.Thus, boredom is the motivation for our intelligence, curiosity and drive to discover new things.
It helps you concentrate. 5 If you learn as a child to bear boredom, the lesson can help you develop valuable tools to help strengthen your self-control and mental discipline in later life.
A.It drives you to explore your interests.
B.It makes you become a better problem solver.
C.Realizing this can help you set goals and go after them.
D.Try to set your mind free to wander and enjoy a daydream.
E.A dull moment gives your stressed brain a chance to recover.
F.This is why many people come up with new ideas while in the shower.
G.Your ability to cope with boredom is related to your capacity to focus.

Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids' toys.Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. 1 For others, Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand's growing number of grown-up sets.
2 Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger.“When something reminds us of a positive memory, we are likely to engage with it because the association recalls those memories.”
3 Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia(怀旧情怀)—from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon's Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults.Barbie isn't just for kids clothes now either, thanks to the recent film and “Barbie-core” fashion trend.
In addition to the trendy appeal, all these revivals can also touch on a feeling of connection during a time of increased division.But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on whether you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection. 4 “But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity,” Ellberger said.“And I feel like that's some of what gets lost, and it isn't impossible.”
Ellberger has a great idea for this.“You are into a certain trend, like toys.There's a good chance you'll find others who are into the same trend. 5 If it was part of everyone's secret Santa or white elephant—that's a really cute way of connecting over this,” she said.
A.The craze goes beyond toys.
B.So, what's with the fascination?
C.It's a great way to form community.
D.Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts.
E.Social media fuels the trend by creating shared experiences.
F.Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults' homes.
G.Childhood favorites have instead become relevant to adults again.
※小贴士:阅读七选五易错点
1.阅读七选五上下文语境中往往出现原词复现、同义词或近义词表达,这是解题的一个重要线索,但是有时不能只看原词复现,而忽视了设空处也有可能是考查句子之间的逻辑。因此,这就需要理解文章的主旨大意,弄清楚前后句子的确切含义,然后才能根据意义的连贯性选出答案。最后要将所选的选项代入原文,验证语言是否通顺,逻辑是否合理,从而确定答案。
2.阅读七选五中的句子所在段落的位置不同,起的作用也不同。命题人之所以采用段首、段中和段尾三种设空方式,是利用设空位置的暗示作用和设空上下文的提示作用来考查考生的逻辑思维能力。但是有时不能只看空位置,要看整篇文章的逻辑关系来解题。
3.阅读七选五语篇结构严谨,段落与段落之间逻辑分明,往往每一段都只讲述文章的一方面,或只涉及整个过程的一部分或一个环节,每一段作用不同。因此,做题时,不能只看上下句,要结合段落来紧扣主题;要准确地理清上下文的逻辑、语义衔接关系和文章的发展脉络,把握语篇整体内容和基本结构,使补全后的短文逻辑通顺、前后连贯、结构完整。

B.Select fertilizers carefully.
C.Then, it is time to change the container.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly popular in children's lives, from voice-activated assistants like Alexa to AI-powered homework help tools. 1 To help children balance the benefits of AI without nurturing dependency, here are some practical strategies:
Frame AI as a supportive partner, not a solution. 2 If they're working on an assignment, ask them to first attempt it independently.Once they've done their best, they can use AI to check their work or get additional insights.This way, they see AI as an aid in refining their ideas rather than as a replacement for their effort.
3 Mindful technology use involves curiosity about where information comes from.Encourage your child to ask questions like, “How did this answer come to me?” or “Is this information proven?” This not only builds critical thinking but also teaches them to assess AI-generated content with a healthy level of skepticism.
Encourage creativity over convenience.When kids are working on creative projects, such as writing or artwork, suggest they use AI as a brainstorming tool. 4 However, they need to shape those ideas in their unique style.This approach helps them see AI as a springboard for their creativity, not a substitute for their own ideas.
Set boundaries on AI use.Just as you set limits on screen time, establish boundaries for AI use.For example, decide that AI can be used for initial research. 5 These guidelines highlight that while AI is a valuable tool, it should not replace the learning process or independent thinking.
By encouraging your children to view AI as a helpful resource rather than a crutch(依靠), you'll promote their independence, creativity and critical thinking.
A.Model responsible AI use.
B.Teach them to question the source.
C.However, do not use it to complete assignments.
D.Encourage kids to view AI as a helper, not a shortcut.
E.AI can be a great educational tool if used responsibly.
F.For example, if they're writing a story, they can ask AI for topic ideas.
G.While these technologies can be incredibly useful, over-reliance can lead to problems.

As we all know, not all thoughts are welcome.Intrusive(入侵的) thoughts often emerge as unwanted visitors, disrupting our minds.They are involuntary and unwanted mental ideas or urges that pop into our minds without invitation. 1
Most people experience intrusive thoughts from time to time.For example, if someone is driving, they might have an urge to drive off a bridge.Most people know they would never do such things and don't pay much attention to them. 2 And they worry that these thoughts will come true or cause them to do something terrible.This can lead to them performing compulsions(强制行为) to try and reduce their anxiety.
Fortunately, there are strategies to deal with intrusive thoughts.
