38、者告诉读者对待事情要多一些积极的、正面的思考，少一些消极的、负面的思考。1an考查冠词。此处表示泛指，且idea的读音以元音音素开头，故填an。2weaknesses考查名词。设空处作find的宾语，应填名词；再根据后文的them可知设空处填名词复数形式，故填weaknesses。3simply考查副词。设空处修饰动词use，需用副词，所以填simply。4has been explored考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。设空处表示的explore这一动作已经完成，需用现在完成时；It为单数且与explore之间是被动关系，需用被动语态；综上所述，设空处填has been explored。5
39、better考查形容词的比较级。设空处表示“更好的”，需用比较级形式，所以填better。6as/though考查连词。“形容词as或though主语谓语”相当于although引导的让步状语从句，故填as/though。7nothing考查代词。“There is nothing wrong with .”为固定句型，意为“没有毛病，无可厚非”。8rejecting考查非谓语动词。设空处与being .并列作介词with的宾语，由此可推知设空处需填动名词形式，故填rejecting。9showed考查虚拟语气。在“It is (high) timethat从句”句型中，that从句的谓语动词要用过去时或“should动词原形”，由后文的focused可知应填showed。10on考查介词。focus on为固定短语，意为“关注”。
