【语篇解读】 人生就是不断提升自我的过程，有时我们急于取得成功，却迷失了自我。本文就如何提升自己给出了一些建议。
16．B [上文提到你可能想知道如何用更简单的方式提升自己，下文则给出了一些建议。由此可知，设空处承上启下。故B项符合语境。]
17．F [本段最后一句提到，判断你喜欢跟谁在一起有助于你了解自己喜欢什么。由此可知，F项符合语境。故选F项。]
18．A [本题考查标题句。根据该标题下的“It's important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy.”可知，花时间做自己喜欢的事很重要。由此可知，A项(做你喜欢的事)符合语境。]
19．E [上文提出如果特别不喜欢现在的工作，考虑一下原因，下文则提出考虑换一份工作。 由此可知，E项(有时候作出一些改变也可以改变你的心情)符合语境。]
20．D [本段主题是体验新事物。空格后说，正因为如此，我们可能对自己的积极的体验反应迟钝。D项(人类对积极的事件适应很快)正好解释了下文的现象。故选D项。]
