Test 1
(2022·广州普高毕业班综合测试)How does it feel when you solve a problem by yourself?Things may not always go as planned,but being resourceful can help you stay calm and work your way out of tricky situations.
Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem,using whatever resources you have at the time. 1 They can also be anything else that's useful,such as information,advice at your own experience.It also means trusting your instincts,the ability you're born with,and being confident about your ability to face challenges.A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when something goes wrong.They're thinking about how to solve the problem.
2 When you learn to solve problems by yourself rather than immediately going to others for help,it can help to build your confidence,help you feel more independent and feel better about making decisions.Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems,but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time. 3 This can boost selfesteem,that is,how you feel about yourself.
When you're facing a challenge,try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it.Think about where and when it happens and what the causes are.Next,think up as many solutions to the problem as you can. 4 Finally,review what has and hasn't worked,so you're equipped to deal with a situation next time.
And remember,if you have a tricky problem that you're unable to solve,then ask a trusted adult for help. 5 .
