六、阅读短文，从短文后所给的A~F六个选项中选出五个能填入空白处的最佳选项。（2024·贵州）
Asking for advice is not so easy. In a recent study, 74 percent of people said they were afraid to ask for advice. But people who ask for advice are more likely to succeed at a task. So how do you ask for advice? 1
• Look for the best person to give you advice. It might be easy to ask all your friends on social media for advice at once, but will you value all the advice equally（同等地）? 2 It might be better to choose one or two people whose opinions you value most. Ideally（最理想的是）, you can ask for advice from people who have experience in the topic you’re asking about.
• Provide enough information clearly. For example, imagine you can’t decide how to organize a club activity. When you ask for advice, you should mention the topic, the place and the time. 3 If your questions require a lot of thought, you should ask the person for advice when he or she is clear - headed.
• Be specific（具体的）when you ask questions. Imagine you want to own a business someday. Do you ask a business owner,“ 4 ” No, because it’s not specific enough. Instead, try asking, “What college classes did you find helpful for starting a business?”
• 5 If you can’t solve your problem by following the first person’s advice, why not ask someone else who may think differently? The key is: Don’t be afraid to ask for advice.

3. E 【点拨】根据“When you ask for advice, you should mention the topic, the place and the time.”可知，寻求建议时应该提到话题、地点和时间，因此可推知，空处和寻求建议时应该考虑的事项有关。故选项 E“你还应该考虑什么时候该问”符合语境。
