第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

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。

People will feel excited when it comes to holidays. But holidays can also be a very lonely time, particularly for those who spend the holidays alone. Here are some tips to keep yourself balanced and productive over the holidays.

Plan your time in advance

You’ll have several days to fill up, so plan ahead. Find books and movies you have always wanted to read and watch, and make a list of events that you’d like to attend.  71

Make a list of things you have always wanted to do but never had the time for. See this time alone as a gift: a stretch of time where you have total control to do whatever you want. Use it wisely.

Find Support

72   Note that scheduling time to talk with friends and loved ones makes contact more likely to happen. Introverts who tend to avoid social contracts get support from the inside, so journaling and taking some time for personal reflection is a good idea.

Don’t wallow(沉溺)

Holidays alone tend to be times when beating yourself up and getting depressed are more likely to happen.  73   Be grateful some people who are enduring family dinners wish they were in your place. Do something fun, instead!

Volunteer

Food banks, shelters and crisis centers are short-staffed during holidays when the demand is greatest. Helping out those in need will make you feel good, and will brighten other people’s holidays in turn.

74

Do something kind. It might be feeding birds or squirrels in the park or buying sandwich for a homeless person. It will make you feel lighter and more grateful for what you have.

Have faith

If you are religious, find a church service to attend, or seek out something you regard as spiritual such as meditation, yoga, exercise, a walk in the park, or being around animals. Use this as an opportunity to fill your spiritual juice.

75

A. Random Act of kindness

B. Accept Invitations

C. Extroverts can reach out to others during the holidays.

D. Avoid solo holiday depression by considering it as an opportunity to grow.

E. Following those advice on having a holiday, you shall get a wonderful whether you are extroverted or introverted.

F. Holiday is a nice thing for all the people whether you are successful of not.

G. Without a plan, you might find yourself being alone and bored, which will lower your spirits.
