72、总结下文。故选D项。38.C根据下文“Later,an adult may struggle with self-regulation,either because this ability wasnt developed during childhood,or because of a lack of skills in managing difficult feelings.”可知,下文主要讲述的是成年人的情况,所以此处讲的是孩子时的情况。C项(一个缺乏安全感的孩子可能会有自我调节的困难)符合题意。故选C项。39.E根据下文“One of the most frequently used
73、methods is to change your thought patterns,which means that you think about a situation in a positive way,rather than one thats likely to increase negative emotions.”可知,下文讲述的是各种提高自我调节的方法。E项(总之,自我调节是如此重要,我们应该学会使用这种技能)符合题意。故选E项。40.F根据下文“Rather than thinking that this reflects something about yourself
