【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了通过简单的几个步骤使你学会自信。

1.F［根据本段的主旨句Consideryourstrengthsandsuccess.（考虑你的优势和成

功）可知，F项中them指代主旨句中strengthsandsuccess,且lookbackatthemlater

承上启下，故选择F。］

2.B［根据前文和常识可知，此处表示从一个小目标开始，否则你会泄气的，B项承接

上文，故选择B项。］

3.A［根据文章结构可知，此处选择段落主旨句。根据空后内容可知，当你失败时，把

它看作是一次学习的经历，空后的failure也是选择主旨句的关键词，A项（向失败学习）可以

概括本段，故选择A。］

4.G［根据前文（研究行为榜样的行为、举止以及他们如何与他人沟通）可知G选项中的

“模仿其他人”和前文相呼应，且句意（当然，你不想一辈子都在模仿别人）承接上下文，故

选择G项。］

5.C［根据前文的Smile可知，C项中Smiling和前文内容相呼应，且句意（微笑是友

好和开放的姿态）承接上下文，故选择C项。］
