Question

How Self-Acceptance Leads to Happiness Within
Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people．When we are young，it is important to us to be accepted by others．To do this，we will often adopt the views and interests of the others rather than develop our own．
Over time，however，we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves．People who have done this are confident in their true abilities； they do not feel the need to impress other people．They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others．
Less confident people constantly agree with everything others suggest，for fear of having their own ideas rejected．Defensive people are also usually unconfident； in an attempt to hide their unconfidence，they blame others．
Confident people do not give up when faced with a difficult situation； they say"I can"rather than"I can't．"Knowing that each day is an opportunity to use their talents to acquire good health，good friendships，and great happiness，they always put their best foot forward．Gradually they can  appreciate the differences between themselves and other people．
Recognizing the details that we cannot change about ourselves helps us grow personally，so why waste energy complaining about being short？Instead of focusing on personal characteristics we are not satisfied with，we ought to focus more on what we are good at．
Such expressions as"Love yourself"and"Be true to your own self"are about self-acceptance，as well as honesty and morality．We should consider them to be good advice，and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within．

Topic	We should learn to accept ourselves as well as find（76） ___ by others．

（80） ___ on accepting ourselves	▲We are concerned with （81） ___ results rather than others'views of ourselves． ▲We needn't fear that our own ideas are rejected，（82） ___can we blame others． ▲We can have a gradual （83） ___  of the differences between ourselves and others． ▲We focus more on our （84） ___ rather than unchangeable personal characteristics we are not satisfied with．
Conclusion	We are to love ourselves and make our way to （85） ___ within．

解析：
76．答案acceptance．主旨大意题．根据第一段Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people．When we are young，it is important to us to be accepted by others可知，本文主要讲自我接受与被别人接受．故填acceptance．
77．答案confident．细节理解题．根据第二段People who have done this are confident in their true abilities可知，人们要对自己真实的能力感到自信．故填confident．
78．答案likely．细节理解题．根据第四段Confident people do not give up when faced with a difficult situation可知，自信的人在面对困难时不会放弃．此空前are为be动词，填入likely形容词，构成be less likely to do sth更不可能做某事．故填likely．
79．答案opportunities/chances．细节理解题．根据倒数第二段Instead of focusing on personal characteristics we are not satisfied with，we ought to focus more on what we are good at可知，不要多关注自己个性中缺少的东西，要关注自己擅长的东西．故填opportunities/chances．
80．答案Tips/Advice/Suggestions/Opinions/Views．段落大意题．根据最后一段We should consider them to be good advice，and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within可知，文章也提出了自我接受的建议．故填Tips/Advice/Suggestions/Opinions/Views．
81．答案worthwhile．细节理解题．根据第二段They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others可知，我们要更为关注有价值的结果，而不是他人对于我们的意见．故填worthwhile．
82．答案nor/neither．细节理解题．根据第三段Less confident people constantly agree with everything others suggest，for fear of having their own ideas rejected．Defensive people are also usually unconfident； in an attempt to hide their unconfidence，they blame others可知，缺少自信的人会害怕自己的主意被拒绝，还会责备他人．反之，要做到自我接受便要不害怕拒绝，也不责备他人．故填nor/neither，…也不．
83．答案appreciation．细节理解题．根据第四段Gradually they can appreciate the differences between themselves and other people可知，我们要学会欣赏别人与我们自己之间的不同．此空前有冠词a，故需转换为名词．故填appreciation．
84．答案strength（s）/advantage（s）．细节理解题．根据倒数第二段Instead of focusing on personal characteristics we are not satisfied with，we ought to focus more on what we are good at可知，我们不应该过多关注我们的短处，而应该发扬我们擅长的地方．此空前our为形容词性物主代词，故空格中填名词strength（s）/advantage（s）．
85．答案happiness．细节理解题．根据文章最后一段We should consider them to be good advice，and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within可知，我们最终将找到通往幸福的道路．故填happiness．
