ess.(当然，学习也会给你带来新的生活机会，让你更快乐。谁不想变得更快乐呢？)”都提到了学习新技能对情绪的改善，提高自信和幸福感，所以空处也需要填写相应选项，表达学习能如何对情绪做到改善。D项“因此你可以克服任何恐惧和焦虑。”符合文意。故选D项。三、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，共15分）Whenourthreekidswereyoung,wehaddaysthatwentonforlifetimes,AsIwatchedmyhusbandCragleaveeverymorning,Ifelt___21___tohavesomuchtimealonewithmybabies.WhenCraig___22___eachevening,hewouldsmileandask,“So!Howwasyourday?”Thisquestionshowedthe___23___betweenhisexperienceofa“day”andmine.Howwasmyday?I___24___Craigasthekidsscreamedloudlyaround.ThenIlookeddownatmydirtyT-shirtandthetoyslitteringthefloor.Iwantedtosay,“Todayhasbeena___25___ThereweremomentswhenIwassofedupwiththemessthatIthoughtImight___26___.Iwasbothlonelyand___27___tobealone.”Butbusywithsomuchhousework,Iwastootiredto___28___.SoIjustsaid,“Fine.”ButIfeltsadbecause___29___isaboutbeingseenandknown.Sowedecidedto____30____help.Welearnedfromthecounselor（咨询师）thatloveis____31____andweshouldn'taskthesameemptyquestionslike:“Howwasyourday?”____32____,wecanaskquestionslike:Whendidyoufeellovedorlonelytoday?A____33____questionisakeythatwillunlockaroominsidethepersonyoulove.Questionsarelikegifts.It'sthe____34____behindthemthatthereceiverfeels.Themore____35____yougivetoyourquestions,themorebeautifultheanswersbecome.21.A.relaxed
