25、hearing aids could afford them.

28、and helping others.”可知，ECG的志愿者虽然年龄跨度很大，但是都喜爱花园和帮助他人。D 项“他们都很热心肠，有着同样的爱好”符合文意。三、阅读七选五1G上文是三个问句：你愿意与什么样的人在一起？是那些总是垂头丧气的人？还是那些总是设法看到事情积极一面的人？因此G项(人们喜欢和积极的人而不是消极的人在一起是意料之中的事)回答了上文提出的三个问题。2E上一句提到积极的心态可以在很多方面帮到你，因此 E 项(如果有积极的心态，你就能给身边的人带去更多的快乐)紧承上文，说明了积极心态带给周围的人的好处。3D上一段讲了积极心态给周围的人带去的好处，下一句提到压力越少，你的整体感觉就越好，因此 D 项(拥有积极的心态也能减少你的压力)在此承上启下。4B上一句提到拥有积极的心态不像把柠檬变成柠檬水那样简单，那是需要人的努力的，故 B 项符合语境。第 10页（共 11页）5C上一句提到要找出生活中不顺的事情，下一句提到一次只专注于一件事，并找到它积极的一面，因此 C 项(它们可能会使你产生消极的思想)在此承上启下。第 11页（共 11页）
