Ⅱ.七选五
Society tells us that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But it doesn't have to be that way. A new study published in HumanDevelopment points out that using a proper approach to learning can help people of any age take on and rise to new challenges. __1__
Venture outside your comfort zone. As adults, we tend to use similar skills day in and day out: We take jobs in the fields we're already good at, drive the same routes to the same places, and fall into routines we're comfortable with. __2__ Switching to something more challenging may have more cognitive benefits.
__3__ A fear of making mistakes is another reason why adults are so slow to learn new things; if we try and fail, we can face criticism, lose money, or get fired. That's why it's important to build up a support network of people—at work and at home—who allow you to make mistakes and learn from them.
Make a serious commitment and don't give up. __4__ If you can afford it, spending money on a new pursuit—for example, booking a trip to Rome to practice your Italian—might also make it harder to throw in the towel.
Learn more than one thing at once. We tend to zero in on one hobby or one skill. But dividing that time and energy into three or four areas will stretch your brain in all different directions. __5__ For example, maybe you started learning a new language in 2018, and this year you add singing lessons, and next year you try something else. You can add things gradually based on what you can handle.
A．Turn to your friends and family.
B．The following strategies will do the trick.
C．Surround yourself with encouraging people.
D．Telling friends about your new goal can help keep you motivated.
E．But all this familiarity limits the parts of the brain we're using regularly.
F．That doesn't mean you should start all the new challenges all at once, though.
G．So feeling comfortable can reduce stress and make you happier and more
productive.
本文主要介绍了几个迎接新的挑战的策略。

1．B解析：文章第二至第五段分别给出了迎接挑战的策略。

由此可知，该空承上启下，应当选B。

2．E解析：根据空前一句可知，我们倾向于日复一日地用相似的技能：从事我们擅长的领域的工作，开车走一样的路线，去一样的地方，做我们觉得舒服的事；结合空后的“Switching to something more chall enging〞可推知，这种熟悉限制了我们正在经常使用的大脑的局部。

应当选E。

3．C解析：空处为本段的主题句，通读本段可知，本段讲述的是寻找支持你的人的重要性，故C项符合语境。

4．D解析：根据该空前一句可知，做出一个严肃的承诺并且不放弃；由此可推知，空处应是明确向谁承诺以与承诺做出后的作用。

故D项符合语境。

5．F解析：根据本段首句可知，一次可以多学点东西；空后一句是说，比如，你可能在2018年开始学一门新的语言，今年你添加了歌唱课，下一年你尝试其他的东西；由此可知，F 项“但是这并不意味着你应该一次性开始所有新的挑战〞符合语境。
