三、阅读短文，完成表格，每空一词
The hardest thing in the world is saying yes to the world. Do you say yes to the world? Most of us have a habit of going through our days saying no to the things we don't like and yes to the things we like, and yet, everything we face is our life. We won't say yes to the things we do not like, because we are afraid that we will not remove them forever.
But in fact, it is only through accepting the existence (存在) of what's not working for us that we can begin the process (过程) of change. When we say yes to the world, we begin to believe that whatever our situation is, we can work with it. We express belief in ourselves, and the world, and we also express a willingness to learn from whatever happens to us, rather than running and hiding when we don't like what we see. Therefore, in one word, saying yes is really good for our life.
The question we might ask ourselves is what it will take to get to the point of saying yes. For some of us, it takes dealing with something we can't run away from or refuse, and so we have no choice but to say yes. For others, they might make a decision to say yes to life no matter what happens to them. Saying yes to life might be difficult at first, and even painful at times, but if we continue to say yes to life, it will be far less difficult in the end. And we will find the joy of being in a positive (积极的) talk to the world with a very powerful word 'yes'. We should accept everything life puts in front of us.

(1) yes
(2) used
(3) reason
(4) change
(5) ourselves
(6) willing
(7) instead
(8) decide
(9) easier
(10) Everything

本题需结合短文内容，匹配表格语境提取关键信息填空，每空一词：
1. 由短文结尾“with a very powerful word 'yes'”可知，标题是用“yes”与世界对话；
2. 根据原文“Most of us have a habit of going through our days saying no to the things we don't like and yes to the things we like”，“have a habit of”对应“be used to doing sth.（习惯于做某事）”；
3. 此部分介绍“说不”的原因，原文中“because we are afraid that we will not remove them forever”的because对应reason；
4. 由原文“begin the process of change”可知，说“是”能让我们开始改变想法；
5. 根据原文“We express belief in ourselves, and the world”可直接提取答案；
6. 原文“express a willingness to learn from whatever happens to us”中，“a willingness to”对应“be willing to”；
7. 原文“have no choice but to say yes”表示不得不说“是”而非“不”，“instead of（而不是）”符合语境；
8. 原文“they might make a decision to say yes to life no matter what happens to them”中，“make a decision to”对应“decide to”；
9. 原文“it will be far less difficult in the end”里，“less difficult”等同于“easier”，much可修饰比较级；
10. 由原文“We should accept everything life puts in front of us”可直接提取答案。
