[全国甲2023·36,37] Tricks To Becoming A More Patient Person
Here's a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There's one answer: 1 .
In the Digital Age, we're used to having what we need immediately at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we'd be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
● Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. 2 . "Showing thankfulness can foster self-control," said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
● Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most "feel good" option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. 3 . Start with small tasks. Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You'll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.
● Accept the uncomfortable
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, " 5 . This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable." You'll then gradually become more patient.
A. Find your causes
B. Start with small tasks
C. Accept the uncomfortable
D. All this adds up to a state of hurry
E. It can also help us practice more patience
F. This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G. They're all situations where we could use a little extra patience

答案： 1. G
解析：由常识可知，设空处前一句提到的 traffic jams (交通堵塞), long lines (长长的队伍), waiting for a vacation to start (等待假期开始) 这三种情况的共同特征都是需要人们耐心等待；结合下文给出的让自己变得更有耐心的技巧可知，G 项（它们都是我们需要多一点耐心的情况）符合语境。
2. E
解析：设空处前一句提到感恩有很多好处，研究表明感恩让我们更快乐，压力更小，甚至更乐观；设空处后说明表示感恩能培养我们的自制力。本文的主旨是介绍变得更有耐心的技巧，由此推知，此处应指出感恩也可以帮助我们培养耐心。E 项（它也可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心）承上启下，符合语境，且其中 It 指代上文的 Thankfulness。
