Do you know someone who is exceptionally picky when it comes to the food to eat, the clothes to wear, or the people to date? Choosy people tend to be somewhat overly analytical - they carefully weigh the pros and cons of most decisions. As a result, they tend to take a lot of time 【小题1】(make) up their minds.

Remember Jerry from Seinfeld? He was extremely picky regarding the people he dated. Any physical flaw, 【小题2】small, was Jerry’s reason for rejecting a possible dating partner. I had a friend who was like that. He didn’t like the shape of this girl’s chin, or another 【小题3】 ears were “too large for her face.” As a result, he rarely dated anyone.

A waitress told me a story of a particular picky woman. The restaurant had a special salad 【小题4】tons of ingredients. This woman would go down the list of ingredients and say, “I don’t like cucumbers, take that out...take out the cilantro, no tomatoes, etc.” The waitress said that by the time she was done, it was 【小题5】salad of just iceberg lettuce! People who are not picky - the opposite end of the scale - tend to be 【小题6】(impulsive), flexible, and open to experience.

Our research found that some people are only picky in particular areas of their lives - eating, dating, or when 【小题7】(evaluate) goods for purchase, although most were picky in most things. Picky people tend to analyze, and often overanalyze, the choices that they are about to make. Some of them can drive salespersons crazy as they hesitate, evaluate. and hesitate again.

A contractor(承包商), who 【小题8】(remodel) a couple of houses, told me the story of two extreme clients. The first, who was extremely choosy, took forever to decideon bathroom fixtures, appliances, cabinets, and paint. 【小题9】 the non-picky one, looked at three similar colors and said, “They’re all ok, you choose.”

While choosy individuals 【小题10】 spend long time deciding, being analytical and slowing to act, non-choosy people’s impulsiveness may lead to quick, and unwise decisions. However, the truth is that non-choosy people may also make their quick decisions, and rationalize them to make them fit, even if it wasn’t the best decision in the first place.

In today’s urban centers, traffic jam is a common sight, characterized by long lines of vehicles 【小题1】 (inch) along the roadways. Many commuters experience fatigue from spending hours behind the wheel, navigating through winding streets.

Due to the congestion, it’s easy to become disillusioned with the daily grind.(日常琐事) However, there’s hope in the form of nation-driven initiatives 【小题2】 (aim) at easing the pressure on both the roads. One such initiative is the promotion of alternative modes of transportation through campaigns that highlight the benefits of walking, cycling, and 【小题3】 (use) public transportation instead of private cars.stresses the fact that the exaggeration of the benefits of private vehicle usage should be examined critically.

These initiatives are not environmentally friendly 【小题4】 appealing to those seeking an escape from over-scheduled work 【小题5】 they are constantly chasing after the next deadline or appointment, feeling stressed out. By encouraging a shift in mindset, 【小题6】 one focused merely on speed and efficiency to one that values well-being, cities can create a more livable environment for their citizens. Governments 【小题7】 (explore) solutions that prioritize the well-being of all residents. This may include implementing carpooling schemes, establishing designated pedestrian zones, or establishing facilities around communicates that are within walking distance.

Implementing innovative approaches to traffic issues in urban centers helps promote a 【小题8】 (healthy) urban environment. It is necessary that initiatives calling for alternative transportation modes 【小题9】 (support) to keep company with these efforts, and 【小题10】 unsustainable practices, such as reliance solely on private vehicles, be disposed of in the near future.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

The term “helicopter parents” refers to “a style of parents who are over focused on their children”. Helicopter parents are always making a big push to provide children with every opportunity 【小题1】 (succeed).

Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons. Worries about the economy, the job market, and the world can push parents toward taking more control 【小题2】 their child’s life. Adults who felt unloved or 【小题3】(ignore) as children can overcompensate their own children. They feel that if they don’t involve 【小题4】 (they) in their children’s lives, they are bad parents.

One of the main problems with helicopter parenting 【小题5】 (be) that it can have the opposite effect. For example, the house 【小题6】 Mary lived with roommates was broken into. Mary called the landlord (房东) to fix an alarm system, but 【小题7】 she could finish the negotiations, her mother rushed in and demanded action. “I felt that my mother 【小题8】 (ruin) my communication with our landlord. She was well intended but only made me feel annoyed and defeated,” says Mary.

【小题9】 (obvious), over-parenting is motivated with the idea of doing good things but it does the exact opposite. It makes the child feel 【小题10】 (lack) in confidence, less competent in dealing with the stresses of life on their own. They’re winning the battle, but actually losing the war.
