51、 information as much as possibleGHowever, when you feel ready, revisit the subject with the person who criticized you语篇解读：犯错后被他人批评或指责的感受是痛苦的，但如果能灵活、优雅地应对这些负面反馈，则对个人成长有利。本文介绍了处理批评的一些方法。1解析本文是一篇总分结构的文章，首段的主题是我们应学会在犯错后灵活、优雅地应对他人的批评或指责。根据设空处在本段的位置可知，该空承上启下，是一个总起作用的句子。故选项B“下面就是一些该如何做的建议”正是一个用来引起下文的句子，符合文
52、意。答案B2解析根据本段的小标题可知，作者给出的第一个建议是“要客观看待批评”。由设空处前一句“下次你遇到负面评价时，不要立即让情绪主导自己，而是花点时间来思考批评是否完全正确”可知，设空处是对前一句的补充和解释，告诫我们应该给自己一个机会去接受和评估它。故选D项。答案D3解析本段是作者给出的第二个建议：避免不必要的冲突。所有选项中，只有选项E含有avoid(避免)，argument(争论)等词，故选E项。答案E4解析本段主要描述的是我们大多数人总是很固执，不愿去改变自己。由设空处的位置可知该空是小标题，所以应该具有建议性和概括性。故选C项Be open to the idea of change，意为“要乐于接受改变的想法”。答案C5解析本段是第四个建议：问问题。根据本段设空前的内容可知，最开始听到批评的时候可能不是寻求更多细节的最佳时机，因为那时你情绪高昂，可能不会特意去接受额外的信息。但设空处后一句Even if you dont agree with their advice, thank them and promise to consider it.提到，你应该对他人的批评表示感谢，从而可推断出设空处的句子与前一句之间存在转折关系。故选G项，表示“然而，当你觉得准备好了，就可以和批评你的人一起重新讨论这个话题了”。答案G
