Question

    There is no way that you don't have any embarrassing moments. You can't control everything that happens, so you're going to be in an embarrassing situation one day. So how can you solve this problem？The answer is to control your actions and try not to get upset.

◆Remember that you'll probably laugh about it in a few days, so try to see the funny side of it.

◆If it is something so embarrassing that you feel you will never laugh about it, please remember that the __(1)__ will be over after some time.

◆Ask your friends to give you a break and not to make fun of you. If you've done the same for them, they're more likely to agree to give you a break.

Always remember that you are not alone. Everyone has embarrassing moments. While you are sure that everyone is going to remember this moment forever, the fact is that they'll probably forget it very soon. Most of us remember the moments in which we feel embarrassed, but very few of us remember other people's embarrassing moments.

Most people have short memories. So while you may never forget the moment when your skirt was torn (撕裂) in gym class, most of the other people probably forget it at once. Although a short memory may not be a(n) __(2)__ thing when you are trying to remember facts in a history test, it is useful when you are trying to forget life's most embarrassing moments.

【解析】

所有人都会有尴尬的时刻，处理尴尬的时刻就是要控制自己的行为，尽量不要心烦意乱，作者给出几点建议：看看它有趣的一面；记住问题过一段时间就会被遗忘；让你的朋友给你一个机会，不要取笑你。

1.空格1在定冠词后面，判断填名词；上文“If it is something so embarrassing that you feel you will never laugh about it”根据文字表达的逻辑关系，推断下文指让你尴尬的事情在过些时候就会烟消云散；所以空格1填pain/trouble/matter/thing/problem/situation。空格2在不定冠词和名词之间，判断填形容词；根据上文“Most people have short memories”推断下文指短暂的记忆在历史考试中当你尽力要记住事实时，可能帮不到你，对你没好处；用空格2填 good/helpful/useful/great；故答案为pain/trouble/matter/thing/problem/situation；good/helpful/useful/great。

2.推理判断题。根据第五段“Most of us remember the moments in which we feel embarrassed, but very few of us remember other people's embarrassing moments. ” 可知我们大多数人都记得我们感到尴尬的时刻，但很少有人记得别人的尴尬时刻，由此判断自己可能永远不会忘记那一刻；故选B。

3.try to do sth尽力做某事；see看见；the funny side of有趣的一面；故答案为努力去看事情好的(有趣的)一面。

4.根据第五段“Always remember that you are not alone. Everyone has embarrassing moments.”可知每个人都有尴尬的时刻，所以你不是孤单的；故答案为Because everyone has embarrassing moments.

5.本篇围绕着的主题是：所有人都会有尴尬的时刻，作者就如何处理尴尬的时刻提出自己的见解——就是要控制自己的行为，尽量不要心烦意乱；故答案为control your actions and try not to get upset/deal with embarrassing moments
