46、 in life.”和空后的“We neither see the difficulties coming,nor have control to stop them.”可知,空处应该会讲到生活中会发生一些令人难以解决的事情,故D项符合语境。2.C解析 空前讲到“当生活一团糟时,通常我们很轻易就会摊手,认定我们什么也做不了”,根据常识可知,这是一种受害者心理,且后一句讲到“受害者心理通常会让我们假装我们很好,选择顾影自怜”,因此C项符合语境。3.A解析 本段主要讲当我们处于压力之下时,我们总是自然地倾向于和别人聊天,但是可能把事情写下来才是解决问题、直面现实的好方式,所以A项适合作本段的主旨句。4.B解析 空前一句讲到“当我们处于压力之下时,我们总是自然地倾向于和朋友、爱人说出自己的问题”,而空后一句讲到“把事情写在纸上是一种理清事实、保持事实清楚的令人惊喜的方式”,前后句之间形成了转折,故B项符合语境。5.G解析 本段主旨句讲到“转换思考方法”,空后两句讲到“事情往往并非如此,相反,这是一种思考方法”,因此空处应该讲到的是我们的一种想法,故G项符合语境。
