Many of our problems come from within our own minds. They are not caused by events,bad luck,or other people. We cause them through our own poor mental habits. 1       Stop jumping to conclusions. 2       First,they assume that they know what is going to happen,so they stop paying attention and act on their assumption instead. Human beings are lousy fortunetellers. 3       That makes the action wrong too. The second aspect of this habit is playing the mindreader and assuming you know why people do what they do or what they're thinking. Wrong again,big time. More relationships are destroyed by this particular kind of stupidity than by any other.

4       A huge proportion of those " oughts" and u shoulds" that you carry around are most likely needless. All they do for you is to make you feel nervous or guilty. What's the point? When you use these imaginary rules on yourself,you clog your mind with petty restrictions and childish orders. And when you try to impose them on others,you make yourself into a bully,a boring nag,or a selfrighteous bigot (頑固者) .

Don't hang on to the past. 5       The more you turn them over in your mind,the worse you'll feel and the bigger they'll look. Don't try to fight misery. Let go and move on. Do that and you've removed just about all its power to hurt you.

   A. Making conclusion demands us paying much careful consideration.

   B. Most of what they assume is wrong.

   C. Maybe the past means a lot to you.

   D. Here are 3  habits you should set aside right away to free yourself from the problems.

   E. Don't invent rules.

   F. This habit increases people's difficulties in two ways.

   G. Most of the anger,frustration,misery,and despair in this world come from people clinging to past hurts and problems.

本文介紹人們面臨的許多難題不是因為外界因素造成，而是人自身的不良心智習慣造成的，接著作者詳細闡述人們需要改掉的三種主要不良心智習慣。

1. D上文作者提出人們面臨的難題是由不良的心智習慣造成的，下文又分段介紹了三種需要摒棄的心智習慣。此處需要一個啟下的總括句，故D項恰當。

2. F考查總分關系。下文有"first"、" the second aspect",內容又是講這種不良心智問題給人們造成困境的兩種途徑，所以選F。

3. B前文講"人類是差勁的占卜者"，后文講"那造成你錯誤的行動"，所以可推斷人類總是做錯誤的假設和推測，故選B.

4. E下句提到你給自己規(guī)定的那些所謂應該做的事情其實都是沒有必要的；而且后面"When you use these imaginary rules on yourself,you clog your mind with petty restrictions and childish orders."一句中又提到了" rales "，所以推斷應選Ec

5. G 上句提到"不要糾結于過去"，所以此處選G
