                                         How to Cope When Life Does Things We Can't Control
Stuff happens in life. 1___. We neither see the difficulties coming, nor have control to stop them. The result, of course, is more anxiety and stress than we know. Here are some approaches that can help us move through what life throws us.
. Throw our inner victim a life jacket. When life becomes messy, it often feels easier to just throw up our hands and assume we can't do anything.2___. Being a victim often allows us to pretend we are fine and choose to feel sorry for ourselves. While we can't change what has happened, none of us are powerless. Consider finding a stress support group or calling a hotline. We all have the power to choose our next step in life.
3___. When we are under stress, the natural tendency is to “talk things through” with our friends and loved ones. 4___. Writing things down on paper can be an amazing way to make the facts clear and keep them straight. The process of moving thought to hand makes it harder for us to lie to ourselves. The more we get to the truth of our situation, the more we can source ways to deal with it. We might also benefit from writing down our ideas for managing our situation.
. Switch up our perspective. 5___. It rarely is. Instead, it's a perspective. Imagine life is a statue, and that a circle of people surround the statue, and how many more angles are there to see things from than the one you are standing at? Sometimes a new perspective can put us into a better mindset.

A. Be honest - on paper.
B. It does work, but not always.
C. This is a form of victim mode.
D. And often, difficult stuff happens.
E. Therefore, life may throw us a curve ball.
F. Get support from our friends and loved ones.
G. Many of us believe what we think is the whole truth.

答案： 1.D 根据上下文可知，生活中总会发生一些我们无法预测的事情。D项“并且困难的事情经常会发生”符合文意，其中“difficult stuff”呼应下文中的“difficulties”。故选D。
2.C 根据上下文可知，本段在介绍一种受害者模式的表现。C项“这是受害者模式的一种形式”符合文意，其中“victim”是关键词，与下一句中的“victim”对应。故选C。
3.A 空处为段落主旨句。根据下文可知，本段主要讲的是当我们处于压力之下时，我们总是自然地倾向于和别人聊天，但是可能把事情写下来才是解决问题直面现实的好方式。A项“诚实——写在纸上”可以概括本段主旨。故选A。
4.B 上文提到当我们处于压力之下时，我们通常会与我们的朋友和所爱的人“谈论事情”；下文提到把事情写在纸上是一种让事实清晰明了的神奇方式。由此可推知，与我们的朋友和所爱的人“谈论事情”确实有效，但并不总是如此，所以我们才选择把事情写在纸上。B项“它确实有效，但并不总是如此”承上启下，符合文意。故选B。
5.G 本段主旨句提到“转换我们的观点”；下文提到“事情往往并非如此，相反，这是一种思考方式”。由此可推知，空处应该讲的是我们的一种想法。G项“我们中的许多人认为我们思考的就是全部的事实”与下文构成转折关系，符合文意。故选G。
