BPractical.CEncouraging. DAttractive.答案A解析词义猜测题。画线词所在句提到，以前的研究只是在中国成年人中进行的，文章第二段和第三段的数据和事例是又在美国进行的研究，所以现在的研究结果使得这项新发现更加令人信服了。convincing使人信服的；practical切实可行的；encouraging令人鼓舞的；attractive有吸引力的。故选A项。.七选五(2017安徽安庆二模)Some Most Common Senior Year MistakesAlmost every high school senior makes some mistakes. 16 .Finding a balance between having fun and studying for your courses is a great way to start preparing for college，since you will be called upon to do this during your college years.Here weve listed some top mistakes students make so that you can make sure you dont make them.Skipping ClassesSkipping classes could mean missing valuable information for the coming tests. 17 .As is known to all，information youll need for your major in your college program may be covered during a high school lecture you miss.Forgetting to StudyWhen you feel less motivated to study，remind yourself that every good grade gets you closer to finding a college that offers a great program in the major you want.Keep your eyes on the prize! 18 To stay on top of your assignments，calculate how long you think something will take you，and then double it.In that way youll have ample time to get your work done.Daydreaming About Your Future Too MuchYour mind now might be wandering，thinking around about degrees，majors，possible careers，studying abroad and many other things.These are all exciting future possibilities，but dont forget the h
