根据短文内容，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。

Many of us tend to compare ourselves to other people. 36 When you compare yourself to your friend or coworker occasionally, there’s nothing wrong with it, as such a comparison helps you become better and stay motivated to reach your goals. However, if you are constantly comparing yourself to others, it’s a red flag.

If you compare yourself to a previous time in your life and you believe that your past was better than your present, it’s a sure sign you unconsciously compare yourself to others. 37 Focus on your present and enjoy new happy and bad moments in your life instead of past ones.

Do you want to make more money because your friend has a higher paycheck than you? You think that your neighbors, friends, and coworkers have a better life because they can afford to buy a new car. But, are you sure that they really can afford all those things? After all, they might have lots of debts and financial problems. 38

Probably you often say something like ‘Your hair is more beautiful than mine’ or ‘You’re so slim and I’m so plump since I can’t drop those extra pounds.’ You should never ever say such things. 39 You are special and you are absolutely beautiful no matter your age, weight and height.

Many of us are trying to stop comparing ourselves to others, but at the same time many of us don’t even know that we have such a bad habit. 40 Remember, no one is perfect. Stay grateful, love yourself and enjoy your present life. A. When you compare, you find your strengths and weaknesses. B. Learn how to love your body, accept yourself and love yourself.

C. People who are constantly comparing themselves to others are more likely to succeed.

D. Your past was not as good as you may think now.

E. Comparing yourself to others has its advantages and disadvantages.

10

F. Comparing brings insecurity and makes us miserable. G. Moreover, money will never make you happy, remember it. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
