1. The Most Direct Solution to Any Problem

When trying to solve various problems in life, an approach I find very useful is to first identify what I’d consider the most direct solution, regardless of how I feel about actually implementing (实施) it. What is the clearest, most direct path to my goal or the most efficient way to get around an obstacle?

Many problems will have multiple direct solutions, but often these solutions will be unpleasant at first glance because they’ll require courage, self-discipline, creativity, or persistence to implement. 1

For example, suppose you want to lose weight. And suppose we can say that one of direct solutions is to eat the same as you’re eating now and increase your exercise output by 500 calories a day. 2 It may require discipline and persistence, but most people would agree that it will work if you follow through.

Another example: 3 However, you don’t know how that person feels about you. One direct solution would be to simply walk up, explain your thoughts and feelings, and ask if she or he is interested in discussing the possibility of a closer relationship. This will take less than a minute to say, and whatever the outcome is, at least you know where you stand. 4 Anyhow it’s very simple and straightforward.

5 What’s the simplest and quickest way to reach your goal, assuming that you had limitless courage and discipline?

A. Of course this solution may require a lot of courage to overcome the possibility of rejection.

B. But if we can get ourselves to follow through, we know the solutions will actually work.

C. See if you can identify the most direct solution to some of your problems.

D. So the best way to overcome the difficulty is to ask your friends for advice.

E. If you implement this rather simple solution, you’ll lose weight.

F. Suppose you’re interested in starting a relationship with someone.

G. However, the solution implemented does not work.

2. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有两项为多余选项）．并在答案卡上将该项涂黑。

You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have great note-taking abilities but because you ask the most number of questions． 1 It is important to have a good way to ask questions． Here are a few tips for improving your questioning skills:

Be clear about what you want to know．

Be clear about what you want to know and frame your question accordingly． 2 If you beat around the bush, your teachers won't be entirely sure what it is that you haven't understood, or need an explanation for．

3

If you are uncertain about a particular subject, make it clear when it is being discussed． If you put your question in context（语境）, you can be sure of it． Because questions often open up new avenues within a subject, doing this would benefit the whole class．

Don't hesitate to talk to your teacher after class．

4 Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over． This will probably put you more at ease．

Write down your questions．

5 They may appear when you're studying, reading or taking notes． Note them down on a piece of paper so that you won't forget to ask them later． This can also make sure that you don't have any unanswered questions when the exam approaches．

A．Don't ask more questions once a time．

B．Questions may appear at any time．

C．Being curious is not a bad quality．

D．You may think it is good to ask no questions．

E．Ask questions related to the context．

F．A question needs to be easy to be understood and to the point．

G．One-to-one interactions （互动） are always much better than one-to-many．
