阅读下面的短文,从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。
Looking on the bright side of life is really beneficial. Optimists have a less chance of having a heart attack or stroke, a bigger chance of a healthy and long life. However，being an optimist doesn’t mean you ignore the stress of daily life. 1 . How to do that?
Practise optimism
Faced with a challenge，optimists more often see it as temporary or even positive，allowing themselves to learn and grow. 2 . Imagining yourself with all of your problems solved in a future may work.
3
Studies have shown putting the well-being of others before our own without expecting anything in return is useful. Even if you have little time to offer，just the act of giving has been shown to improve our health，possibly by temporarily reducing our sense of pain.
Be grateful
Being thankful protects us against anxiety and depression and boosts optimism. 4 . Before going to bed，take down any positive experience you had that day，however small.
Improve your social connections
Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. 5 . Instead，it’s the quality of the relationship that matters. High-conflict marriages，for example，without much affection，turn out to be bad for our health，perhaps worse than getting divorced，though it’s not right to make light of divorce.
A. Start volunteering
B. Find your purpose
C. And you don’t have to have scores of friends to get this benefit
D. One of the best ways to make it a part of your life is to keep a diary
E. It simply means when unpleasant things happen，do not blame yourself unnecessarily
F. People who are more socially connected to family，to friends，or to community，are happier
G. They also believe they have control over their fate and can create opportunities for good things to happen

答案： 1. E
解析：前文提到“being an optimist doesn’t mean you ignore the stress of daily life”，E选项“It simply means when unpleasant things happen，do not blame yourself unnecessarily”解释了乐观主义者的真正含义，与前文衔接紧密，符合语境。
2. G
解析：前文讲乐观主义者面对挑战时的看法，G选项“They also believe they have control over their fate and can create opportunities for good things to happen”进一步说明乐观主义者的信念，“also”体现了递进关系，符合逻辑。
3. A
解析：此空为小标题，下文内容围绕“putting the well-being of others before our own without expecting anything in return”展开，A选项“Start volunteering”（开始志愿服务）与之相关，志愿服务正是为他人着想且不求回报的行为，适合作为小标题。
4. D
解析：后文提到“Before going to bed，take down any positive experience you had that day”，D选项“One of the best ways to make it a part of your life is to keep a diary”中的“keep a diary”与“take down”相呼应，符合语境。
5. C
解析：前文说“Good relationships keep us happier and healthier”，后文讲“Instead，it’s the quality of the relationship that matters”，C选项“And you don’t have to have scores of friends to get this benefit”说明不必有很多朋友也能获得良好关系带来的好处，承上启下，符合逻辑。
