语篇解读：本文主要讲述了帮助他人忘掉不快乐的记忆的四条建议。
1．hopefully 设空处修饰后面的整个句子，故用副词形式。
2．what 分析该句结构可知，设空处引导宾语从句，且在从句中作动词“forget”的宾语，故用“what”引导该宾语从句，表示随着时间流逝，这个人就不会记得他应当忘记的事情了。
3．personal 设空处修饰名词“objects”，故用形容词形式。句意：任何小物件都能唤起记忆，所以小心地用新物品替换任何照片、日记或其他个人的物品或礼物。
4．an 不要以一种明显的方式做这件事，因为这很烦人。该处表示“一种明显的方式”，表示泛指，故用不定冠词；obvious的读音以元音音素开头，故用an。
5．intention 根据设空前的形容词性物主代词“your”可知，该处用名词形式。句意：不要以明显的方式来做这件事情，因为这很烦人，但要在他(朋友)没有意识到你的意图的情况下做这件事情。
6．amusing 根据设空后的名词“stories”可知，设空处修饰该名词，故用形容词形式amusing。句意：讲一些有趣的故事，或者谈谈你朋友的生活中重要和快乐的事情，比如刚出生的侄子或者工作晋升。
7．activities 根据该句中的“and appointments”可知，设空处与此并列，应用名词的复数形式。句意：使他忙于活动和约会。
8．to think too ...to ...为固定搭配，意为“太……而不能……”。句意：让他忙得无法想起往事，这有助于让他看到积极之光。
9．before 句意：通常很长的一段时间之后，你的朋友才会完全忘掉这段记忆，所以如果他没有马上忘掉这段记忆，你不要失望。It will be ＋一段时间＋before ...为固定用法，表示“多久之后才……”，故用连词before。
10．disappointed 设空处所在句为祈使句，系动词be后接形容词，且修饰人，故用disappointed。
