問題詳情：

  Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one's head in the sand and ignoring daily problems, trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.46．Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do.

47．People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships.48．For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety. Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.49．

In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem.50．

【分析】

這是一篇説明文。文章主要説明了積極思考對人產生的各種益處，同時將積極思考者與悲觀主義者相比較，分析兩種人的差異。積極思維是應對困難時期和提高個人生活質量的強大而有效的工具。

46．根據上文“Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.(自我對話是一個人持續不斷的想法，他常常對一些事件、現象、人，甚至是他自己都沒有意識和不確定)”以及後文“Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue.(同時，積極的思考可以幫助停止消極的自我對話，開始形成對一個問題的積極的觀點)”由此可知，上文對自我對話進行了定義，後文則提到了積極的思考可以有助於停止消極的自我對話，可知本句是在説明消極的自我對話對人的不良影響。後文中negative self-talks可對應到B選項中Negative self-talk。故B選項“消極的自言自語會損害自信，降低自尊”符合語境，故選B。

47．根據後文“People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships.(積極思考的人壽命更長，抑鬱和焦慮率更低，身心更健康，死於心臟問題的風險更低。積極的思考也有助於一個人處理問題和困難的能力)”由此可知，後文提到了積極思考對人的益處，後文中People who think positively以及Positive thinking可對應到D選項中Positive thinking。故D選項“積極思考對身心有幾個有益的影響”符合語境，故選D。

48．根據後文“For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety.(例如，研究人員發現，當危機伴隨着強烈的情緒時，比如自然災害，積極的思考可以為抑鬱和焦慮提供一種緩衝)”可知，後文舉出的例子説明了積極思考可以讓一個人在面臨危機時，保持冷靜。故C選項“它幫助一個人在困難的情況下保持頭腦清醒和自信”符合語境，故選C。

49．根據上文“Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.(積極思考的、有韌*的人傾向於把每一個問題都看作是一個挑戰，一個改進的機會，或者一個個人成長的機會。相反，悲觀主義者傾向於將問題視為額外壓力的來源)可知，上文在將積極思考者與悲觀主義者相比較，本句應承接上文，進一步解釋説明悲觀主義者在解決問題時一些*格特點。上文Pessimists可對應到G選項中They。故G選項“他們常常在試圖解決問題之前就感到氣餒，即使是很小的問題”符合語境，故選G。

50．根據上文“In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem. (總之，積極思考是應對困難時期和提高個人生活質量的強大而有效的工具。當一個人拒絕注意到一個問題時，它與無知的樂觀主義沒有任何關係)”可知，本句承接上文進一步説明一個人拒絕注意到問題的影響，它與無知的樂觀主義沒有任何關係，也不會引起任何嚴重的情緒不適。故A選項“它也不會引起任何嚴重的情緒不適”符合語境，故選A。
