Keep a resolution (决心)．Not only will you benefit from exercising or out your garage，but you'll also get a boost (激励)from the mere fact that you made a and stuck to it.
Boost your .Studies show that when you're feeling energetic，you're much more likely to feel good about yourself.Most important：get enough sleep.

(答案→)A
解析：
本文为说明文，当挫折和失败让自己感到心灰意冷，自我怀疑的时候，怎样做才能恢复自尊、自信呢？
【小题1】A 根据上下文可知，作者在列举一些让人感到不开心的事情。在职场中，没能获得2晋升就是其中之一。promotion提升；gift礼物；match比赛；break休息。
【小题2】C 或许你的心上人和你分手了。break up with sb.与某人分手；keep up with sb.跟上某人；put up with sb.容忍某人；make up with sb.同某人言归于好。
【小题3】：B 句意：人们说：“你别往心里去”“不要让它对你产生影响”，但是那做起来却很难。but提示上下文存在转折关系，说明事情是说起来容易，但是做起来难(hard)。
【小题4】 D 如果你觉得心灰意冷，有什么策略能让你感觉好点呢？
【小题5】D 根据下文“I'm the greatest！”以及常理推断，在遭受挫败的时候，人们往往对自己重复(repeating)一些鼓励的话，让自己的心情好起来。
【小题6】C 重复“我是最棒的！”或者在和其他二流足球队员比赛时获胜都不是增强自尊的好方法。build此处意思是“逐渐增强”。
【小题7】B 根据下文内容可知，这是作者提出的几点建议。tip常用来表示一些有用的小建议；idea主意，想法；plan计划；method(系统的)方法。
【小题8】A 你会和你所帮助的人获得一样多的利益。benefit得益于；repay偿还；reject拒绝接受；demand要求。
【小题9】A 这里指经历了一系列严重的失败。go through经历；e across偶然碰到；look for寻找；wait for等候。
【小题10】C 介词from提示这里指在工作中被解雇。
【小题11】D 她申请读研失败。apply申请；appeal呼吁；listen听；react回应。
【小题12】B 一切最终都顺利了。in the end 最后，结果；in the beginning 起初；in a moment 立刻，马上；in a sense 从某种意义上说。
【小题13】B 根据语境可知，她度过的是一段困难的时期。
【小题14】A 此处副词practically相当于almost，意思是“几乎，差不多”。hardly几乎不；carefully仔细地；unwillingly不情愿地。
【小题15】D 锻炼或者打扫车库会让你受益。clean out把……彻底打扫干净；work out计算出，解决；leave out遗漏，略去；find out找出，查明。
【小题16】C 根据Keep a resolution可知C项意义接近，即做出承诺并且信守承诺。make a promise许诺；make a bet打赌；make a difference有影响，起作用；make a record录制唱片。
【小题17】A 根据下文语境以及energetic一词的提示可知该段小标题是Boost your energy(养精蓄锐)。
【小题18】B 根据下文提到的极限运动可知，这里指Challenge yourself physically(挑战体能)。
【小题19】D 很多人在进行了激流皮划艇运动、蹦极或乘坐过山车后感觉很好。
【小题20】C do the trick是固定短语，意思是“起作用；奏效；达到目的。”
