No matter how often you face it, doubt can be depressing. 36________ In situations where doubt arises, consider these methods below, and you can silence doubt and put your best efforts toward your goals.
● 37________ Doing this stimulates the reward center, tricking your mind into focusing on completing the task to experience the achievement. And imagining desired outcomes can have potential benefits including improved motivations and confidence.
● Look back on past wins. Reflecting is a powerful way to tell yourself that you're capable of doing much more. Get rid of doubt by entering the reflection mode and reminding yourself that you are capable of getting things done. 38________
● Meditate(冥想) regularly. 39________ But by meditating regularly, you can keep your energy levels high in the face of challenges and pressure and stay above doubt. It is a powerful tool to keep your mind clear about your goals and get your desired mission accomplished.
● Take action on your plans. A sure sign that self-doubt has you in its grasp is that you are beginning to buy into the excuses you make. 40________ Taking action is the most effective method to silence doubt when you sense it. Don't let the doubt hold you back; use it to motivate yourself. Then you'll be fueled to move toward your mission.
A. Visualize success.
B. Build a reward system.
C. It is a big challenge to strengthen your motivation.
D. Stress and anxiety allow room for weakness and doubt.
E. It can also weaken your determination to get things done.
F. This will ultimately prevent you from being able to accomplish your goals.
G. After all, the reminder that you have overcome doubt is a big confidence boost.

答案： 36. E 空前讲到了“无论你多久面对一次，怀疑都可能是令人沮丧的”，而空后则提到了遇到怀疑的时候可以参考以下的方法，因此，空处承接上文，讲到的也是怀疑的不良影响，E项“它也会削弱你做事的决心”与上文形成了递进，且It指的是上文中提到的doubt，故E项符合语境。 37. A 考查主旨句。根据本段内容尤其是“Doing this stimulates the reward center”（做这件事刺激奖励中心）和“And imagining desired outcomes”（想象期望的结果）可知，本段主要讲到了在头脑中构思成功的场景，A项“想象成功”符合语境。 38. G 空前讲要进入深思模式，提醒自己你能够做事情，这样可以摆脱怀疑。故可推知，此处应该说明这样做可以摆脱怀疑的原因，G项“毕竟，提醒你已经克服了怀疑是一个极大的信心激励”符合语境，且其中的“the reminder”呼应空前的“reminding yourself that”。 39. D 根据空后的转折“But by meditating regularly, you can keep your energy levels high in the face of challenges and pressure and stay above doubt”（但通过定期冥想，你可以在挑战和压力面前保持高水平的能量且避免怀疑）可知，空处讲到的应该是挑战、压力和怀疑会给人们带来负面影响，故D项“压力和焦虑给懦弱和怀疑留出了空间”符合语境。 40. F 结合空前的“被自我怀疑掌控的一个肯定迹象是，你开始相信你所找的借口”可知，空处讲到的应是你开始相信你所找的借口这一做法所导致的问题，故F项“这最终会阻止你实现你的目标”符合语境。
