【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了成長過程中會(huì)遇到很多煩惱，但不要過于擔(dān)心，這就是成長的過程，需要正確面對。

【1】根據(jù)上文During the process of growth, you should feel uncertain.(在成長的過程中，你會(huì)感到猶豫)。又根據(jù)下文 Let it run its course and enjoy the aimlessness as much as you can.(讓它順其自然，盡情享受漫無目的的生活。)可知，在成長過程中，你感到猶豫、彷徨。所以不知何去何從。那就讓它順其自然。B. You don’t know where to go yet. (你還不知道去哪里) 符合語境。故選B項(xiàng)。

【2】根據(jù)小標(biāo)題Self-doubt(自我懷疑), 可知，下面一整段就是對Self-doubt進(jìn)行闡述。又根據(jù)后文The moment that you feel self-doubt is the dark night before the dawn.(你感到自我懷疑的那一刻就是黎明前的黑夜。)可知，你會(huì)感到自我懷疑，但是那并不可怕，因?yàn)槟愀械阶晕覒岩傻哪且豢叹褪抢杳髑暗暮谝埂?/span>F. Of course you will feel doubtful about what you’re doing. (當(dāng)然，你會(huì)對自己正在做的事情感到懷疑。) 符合語境。故選F項(xiàng)。

【3】根據(jù)上文You are stepping into a completely unknown part of yourself. (你正在踏入自己完全未知的部分) 可知，當(dāng)你進(jìn)入一個(gè)完全陌生的階段時(shí)，你會(huì)感到不安全的。G. It’s only natural that you wouldn’t feel wholly sure of yourself. (自己會(huì)有不安全感，這是很自然的)。符合語境。故選G項(xiàng)。

【4】根據(jù)上文Do you know why you’ve been kept away from your chances to grow?( 你知道為什么你被剝奪了成長的機(jī)會(huì)嗎?) 可知，后文要回答這個(gè)疑問。E. That’s the fear that has kept you from moving on. (讓你止步不前的就是恐懼)。符合語境。故選E項(xiàng)。

【5】根據(jù)前文Where there is insecurity, fear, and uncertainty, there is surely anxiety. Anxiety is part of growth. You have very little control over what happens to you. However. you can control how you react to it. You can choose to stick your head in the sand and stay the same, or you can grow and be free. (哪里有不安全感、恐懼和不確定性，哪里就有焦慮。焦慮是成長的一部分。你幾乎無法控制發(fā)生在你身上的事情。然而。你可以控制自己的反應(yīng)。你可以選擇把頭埋進(jìn)沙子里，保持原樣，或者你可以選擇成長，獲得自由。)可知，焦慮是成長的一部分，但是你可以有很多種選擇。A. The choice is yours. (由你選擇) 符合語境。故選A項(xiàng)。
