本文是一篇说明文。生活中总有些人高估或低估自己，这是因为他们不了解自己。本文就如何全面了解自己提出了几条建议。
1．D [关键句是强调句型，和D项句式相同，但意思相反，前后两句之间为转折关系，“But”起着衔接的作用，符合语境。故选D。]
2．F [空格前提到“在人生的上升阶段你倾向于高估自己，似乎你所追求的一切都触手可及”；F项意为“当你走下坡路时，你倾向于因自己的无能而低估自己”，与上文句式相同，说明两种情况，与下文的“stay away from the outer world”紧密衔接。故选F。]
3．G [根据该段的小标题“获得对自己的正确评价”可知，G项“只要你对自己非常了解，就没有克服不了的困难”符合语境。故选G。]
4．A [空格前提到“不管你把自己比作什么事物，实际上你代表的是一种自然形态”，与A项“它有自己的价值”紧密衔接，符合语境。故选A。]
5．B [分析该段大意可知，本段主要建议“在你生气、悲伤、劳累时，可通过适当的方式对自己好一些”；B项“在需要的时候对自己好一些”符合该段大意，适合做本段小标题。关键词“do yourself a favor”也是选择的依据。故选B。]

“ 6 ” All the things that you have been through，all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude.If you think that all these factors have made you a person with a poor attitude towards life，there is no need to worry as there is always an opportunity for change.Let me share with you how I did it.
1. Identify and understand what you want to change.
The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. 7 When it comes to changing your attitude，you need to do an honest and in－depth self－evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your qualities need to be improved or totally changed.
2． 8
We all need to know that what we're trying to accomplish can in fact be achieved; that we can be more optimistic，more social or more patient.Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have，and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.
3.Think about how your attitude change will affect your life.
2
To be able to overcome all the difficulties that lie ahead of you in your journey towards self－betterment，you need to figure out exactly what this supposed change could bring to your life.Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change and you will have a greater chance of reaching your goal.
4.Choose the right company.
As they say，“Bad company corrupts good character.” You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative personalities that you want to change.Consider befriending new people，especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. 9
5． 10
Often，the greatest obstacle between us and our goals is ourselves or our inability to trust in what we are able to do.If you don't believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change，it just won't happen—you will either never start，or give up quickly so you won't have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.
A. Believe that you are able to change.
B．Our personalities and attitudes are developed through our relationships and experiences.
C．Look for a role model.
D．You will see that your effort to change will be easier with these kinds of people as friends.
E．It is only right to try hard to have a strong mind. F．Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor. G．Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us.
本文是一篇说明文。我们对待生活的态度决定了生活对待我们的态度，本文作者主要和读者分享了他/她是如何积极对待生活的。
6．G [根据下文内容可推知，空格处是一个直接引语，且从第二句开始，文章都是围绕“attitude”展开的。故G项“我们对待生活的态度决定了生活对待我们的态度”总领全文，符合语境。故选G。]
7．F [上文提到做出改变的第一步就是要完全认清需要改变的对象。故F项“制定明确的目标是任何努力成功的关键”是对上文的进一步说明，与上文衔接紧密，且照应该段小标题“Identify and understand what you want to change.”符合语境。故选F。]
8．C [此处为第三段小标题。根据第三段最后一句“Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have，and let his or her life give you inspiration
