When someone is suffering, we need to follow the Platinum Rule:【2】Put ourselves in other’s shoes and respond with understanding or better yet, action.

【3】It comes from deep within us and from support outside us. It comes from gratitude for what’s good in our lives and from learning in to the suck.【4】I learned that when life pulls you under, you can kick against the bottom, break the surface, and breathe again.

Although it can be extremely difficult to grasp, the disappearance of one possible self can free us to imagine a new possible self. After tragedy, we sometimes miss these opportunities because we spend all of our emotional energy wishing for our old lives. As Hellen Keller put it, “【5】But often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

A.It can help a person step out of the trouble.

B.Treat others as they want to be treated.

C.When one door of happiness closes, another opens.

D.Death ends a life, but it does not end a relationship.

E.Another way you answer it depends on your ability of recovery.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。短文就在遇到困难的时候应该怎么做提出了一些合理建议。

【1】根据上文We all encounter hardships. Some we see coming; others take us by surprise.可知， 我们都会遇到困难。有些是我们预见到的，有些是根本想不到的。所以选项承接上文，说明困难对人的不良影响。故G选项“它可以使人陷入极度悲惨的境地，也可以像一个没有实现的梦想一样令人失望。”切题。故选G项。

【2】根据上文When someone is suffering, we need to follow the Platinum Rule.可知，当有人受苦的时候，我们需要遵循白金法则。根据下文Put ourselves in other’s shoes and respond with understanding or better yet, action.可知，设身处地为别人着想，用理解或者更好的行动来回应。由此可知，选项要说明白金法则的内容且要与下文话题一致。故B选项“己所不欲勿施于人。”切题。故选B项。

【3】根据下文It comes from deep within us and from support outside us.可知，它来自我们内心深处和外界的支持。所以选项起到总说的作用，说明对付困难的另一种方式。故E选项“另一种应取决于你的恢复能力。”切题。选E项。

【4】根据上文It comes from gratitude for what’s good in our lives and from leaning in to the suck.可知，它来自于对生活中美好事物的感激，也来自于对糟糕事物的学习。所以选项与上一句为并列关系。故F选项“它来自于分析我们如何处理悲伤，来自于我们如何接受悲伤。”切题。故选F项。

【5】根据下文But often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.可知，但是我们常常长时间地注视着那扇紧闭的门，却看不到那扇为我们打开的门。所选选项与下文为转折关系，故C选项“当一扇幸福之门关闭，另一扇就会打开。”切题。故选C项。
