Envision Festival February 21 — 26, 2022, Uvita The Envision Festival is an annual event in Costa Rica that wants to provide a chance for different cultures to work with one another to create a better community.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个著名的音乐节。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Field Day”部分中的“January 1, 2022, Sydney (2022年1月1日，悉尼)”可知，如果你想在一月份参加音乐节，你可以去悉尼参加Field Day。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“McDowell Mountain Music Festival”部分中的“Since its founding in 2004, it is the only 100% nonprofit (非营利的) music festival designed to support, entertain and educate the community. (自2004年成立以来，它是唯一一个100%非盈利性的音乐节，旨在支持、娱乐和教育社区)”可知，McDowell Mountain音乐节的特殊之处在于它是非营利性的，不是为了赚钱。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Envision Festival”部分中的“At the same time, our connection with nature is expected to be strengthened. (与此同时，我们与自然的联系有望得到加强。)”和“Old Settler’s Music Festival”部分中的“The festival is held in Tilmon, Texas at the height of the wild flower season. (这个节日在德克萨斯州的蒂尔蒙举行，正值野花盛开的季节。)”可知，Envision Festival和Old Settler’s Music Festival这两个音乐节都与自然相关。故选D项。 B When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents (口音), most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of misses the point. More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition (定义) of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do! Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a changed form of a language that is featured by its variations (变化) of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different? We need to move beyond a narrow idea of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity (身份). Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way. 4. What does the author think of his/ her friends’ response in paragraph 1? A. It reflects their self confidence. B. It reflects their language levels. C. It misses the point of communication. D. It misses the real meaning of accents. 5. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English? A. To support the use of dialects. B. To show the importance of dialects. C. To correct a grammatical mistake. D. To highlight a traditional method. 6. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph? A. Learn to speak with your local dialect. B. Look for an official definition of accents. C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects. D. Separate our local languages from others’. 7. What can be a suitable title for this passage? A. Everyone Has an Accent B. Accents Improve Our Identities C. Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D. Standard English Is at Risk 【答案】4 D 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了人人都有口音，这种差异能帮助我们了解文化经历和背景，从而在这个过程中交到更多的朋友。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents (口音), most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of misses the point.(当我向一些朋友提到我们都有口音时，大多数人都自豪地回答说:“嗯，我的英语/中文等等说得很流利。”但是这种回答并没有抓住问题的关键。)”和第二段中“More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own.( 通常，当我们说某人“有口音”时，我们的意思是他们的口音与当地人不同，或者说他们的发音与我们的不同。)”可知，作者认为第一段中他/她朋友的回答忽略了对口音含义的真正理解。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Every person speaks a dialect ( 方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a changed form of a language that is featured by its variations (变化) of structure, phrases and words. For instance,” You got eat or not? “(meaning “Have you eaten?” ) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?(每个人都会说一种方言。在语言研究领域，方言是语言的一种变体，其特点是结构、短语和词汇的变化。比如“你到底有没有吃？”“(意思是“你吃过了吗？”)是新加坡英语口语中可以接受和理解的问题。事实上，这个表达会使一个标准的美国英语使用者停顿，并不意味着新加坡口语是“错误的”或“不合语法”。根据新加坡本土英语使用者扎实的语法系统，这个句子结构良好，具有清晰的交际性。为什么仅仅因为它不同就是错的呢？)”可知，作者是支持方言的使用的。由此可推知，作者使用新加坡英语口语的例子是为了支持方言的使用。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity ( 身份 ). Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.(像这样的语言差异可以让我们深入了解人们的文化经历和背景。在一个全球化的时代，一个人说话的方式是一个人身份的独特部分。大多数人都乐于谈论他们说话背后的文化。我们会更多地了解我们生活的这个世界，并在这个过程中交到更多的朋友。)”可知，作者认为语言的差异能让我们了解文化经历和背景，从而在这个过程中交到更多的朋友。由此可推知，作者建议我们欣赏口音和方言的价值。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!(有趣的是，在语言学习方面，每个人说话都有口音。正是我们发声方式的常规差异定义了我们的口音。即使你自己没听到，你说话也有点口音。从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的。我们都是！)”可知，文章主要介绍了人人都有口音，这种差异能帮助我们了解文化经历和背景，从而在这个过程中交到更多的朋友，A项“每个人都有口音”适合做文章标题，故选A。 C When people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language. Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I had one of my poems published. This bit of success, however, was the point where my problem began. Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching freshman composition. Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day. As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 a.m. The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm’s reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was when my morning writing began. Since that first morning in 1978 I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours: the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, I wrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel, The Line of the Sun. was finished. If I had waited to have the time, I would still be waiting to write my novel. What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision: taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way. 8. What motivated the author to start her writing career? A. Her strong wish to share. B. Her keen interest in writing. C. Her urgent need to make a living. D. Her passionate desire for fame. 9. What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing? A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day. B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style. C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter. D. She was unsure about her writing skills. 10. Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway? A. In case the clock in her room broke down. B. In case she failed to hear the ringing. C. To force herself out of bed. D. To wake up her family. 11. What can we learn from the author’s success in her writing career? A. It is never too late to change your job. B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time. C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action. D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者喜爱写作并制定计划一直坚持下来。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language. Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing.(当人们问我如何开始写作时，我发现自己在描述一种迫切需要，那就是我觉得要用语言来工作。话虽如此，我很长一段时间都不知道自己在找什么。直到我追寻这种感觉的源头，我才发现我对写作充满热情)”可知，促使作者开始她的写作生涯的原因是她对写作的强烈兴趣。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.(当我回到家时，经过一整天的工作，我已经没有足够的精力来写作了)”可知，当作者决定开始写作时，因为她忙碌了一天之后，她筋疲力尽，无法再写作了。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time.(作为一种解决办法，我决定比平时早两个小时起床)”和“The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm’s reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway.(第一天，我把它关掉了，因为我把它放在伸手可及的地方。第二天，我设置了两个时钟，一个在床头柜上，另一个在走廊上)”可知，作者在走廊里放了一个闹钟的原因是为了强迫自己起床。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.(我从摸黑起床工作中得到的是一种掌控一切的感觉)”以及第四段“Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.(从1978年的第一个早晨开始，我一直遵循这个习惯，直到今天，不为不写作找任何借口)”可知，紧凑的日程并不是不采取行动的借口。故选C项。 D When was the last time you showed off your being sensitive (敏感的)? Most likely, the answer is never. There are plenty of traits (特征) we take pride in but being “sensitive” is usually seen as a weakness. It’s used to mean you’re fragile (脆弱的), thin-skinned or just overreacting, but it’s wrongheaded. Sensitivity is largely genetic, and not something you can turn off. It is a trait linked to giftedness and something we ought to accept. As a personality trait, being sensitive means you take in more information from your environment, and you do more with it. Sensitive people are better at a brain level to process information more deeply than others do. The most well-known and celebrated sensitive gift is creativity. Sensitive people have this capacity for innovation (创新) because they tend to be deep thinkers who spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads - and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions. Many - perhaps most - artists, musicians, actors and even scientists are themselves sensitive people, including Charles Darwin - the model of a sensitive person. Sensitive people do pay a price for these gifts, however, by becoming overstimulated (过度刺激的). Overstimulation is what happens when there is simply too much information for the brain to keep going deep. It happens in situations that are too loud, too chaotic, or too emotionally tense. This is the only time when sensitive people really might seem less “tough” than others, but sensitive people can learn to largely prevent it. For example, a little bit of quiet alone time goes a very long way. If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. You cannot make yourself less sensitive than you are and trying to do so only cuts you off from your gifts. Instead, the single most important step you can take for yourself is what society has told you not to do your whole life: Stop hiding from your sensitivity. Embrace it, and show it to the world. 12. What is the general attitude of people toward “being sensitive”? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 13. What does the second paragraph describe about sensitive people? A. Strengths. B. Characters. C. Disadvantages. D. Innovation. 14. What will be the best advice to sensitive people if they become overstimulated? A. To play sports with friends. B. To talk to a friend about troubles. C. To rest in a peaceful place alone. D. To play computer games at home. 15. What is the effect of hiding from your sensitivity? A. Being less talented. B. Feeling comfortable. C. Getting more sensitive. D. Becoming confident. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲的是敏感这种特质的好处和可能会带来的不利影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There are plenty of traits (特征) we take pride in but being “sensitive” is usually seen as a weakness. (我们有很多引以为豪特质，但“敏感”通常被视为一种弱点。)”可推知，人们对“敏感”的普遍态度是消极的。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“As a personality trait, being sensitive means you take in more information from your environment, and you do more with it. Sensitive people are better at a brain level to process information more deeply than others do. (作为一种人格特质，敏感意味着你从环境中获取更多信息，并利用这些信息做更多的事情。敏感的人在大脑层面上比其他人更能深入地处理信息。)”以及“Sensitive people have this capacity for innovation (创新) because they tend to be deep thinkers who spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads - and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions. (敏感的人有这种创新能力，因为他们往往是深刻的思考者，他们花更多的时间和精力在头脑中思考问题，最终看到更多的可能性和解决方案。)”可知，本段主要论述敏感的人更能创新，更富有创造力，也就是敏感的人的长处。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“This is the only time when sensitive people really might seem less “tough” than others, but sensitive people can learn to largely prevent it. For example, a little bit of quiet alone time goes a very long way. (这是唯一一次敏感的人可能看起来不像其他人那么“强硬”，但敏感的人可以学会在很大程度上预防这种情况。例如，一点安静的独处时间会有很大的帮助。)”可推知，如果敏感的人受到过度刺激，对他们最好的建议是在一个安静的地方独自休息。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. You cannot make yourself less sensitive than you are and trying to do so only cuts you off from your gifts. (如果是这样，你可能已经感受到了隐藏它的压力。但这是个陷阱。你不能让自己变得不那么敏感，这样做只会切断你的天赋。)”可知，隐藏敏感只会让你减少天赋。故选A。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Pursue Your Dreams Today, Not Tomorrow Have you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams?

You’re always going to wonder how your life would’ve turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself.

Hard as it is, it’s extremely important to wave off the doubts in the back of your mind.(尽管困难重重，但摆脱心中的疑虑是至关重要的)，句中“wave off the doubts in the back of your mind”对应下文“Embrace a mindset of determination”。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“At the end of the day, you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction.

She was excited all the way when she was sitting in her mother’s car. Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn’t help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, “Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!” “Okay! Mom,” she answered while continuing to roll down the car window. “Emma! Don’t head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!” Mom raised his voice as she spoke. She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. “Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?” Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window. Ten minutes later, Emma looked at the large plate of steak and potatoes as if she had no intention of eating them. Mom sighed and asked, “Isn’t it your favorite steak, sweetheart?” “It is, mom,” Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before. “No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. “I can only eat it once a month, right?” “Yes, we made a promise about this,” said the mother. “Can I just give it to him?” Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes. And she realized that the man was the figure that flashed by the roadside when her daughter leaned out of the window in the car. “Of course, you can,” her mother agreed. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为120左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Emma quickly left the table with the full plate of food in hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Emma returned, her mother smiled proudly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Emma quickly left the table with the full plate of food in hand. As Emma approached the homeless man, her eyes filled with empathy. She greeted him with a warm smile and handed him the plate of food. On receiving the food, the man could hardly conceal his excitement and thanked her joyfully. Meanwhile, Emma sat down beside him, engaging in a heartfelt conservation. Witnessing the moving scene, the mother felt a sense of satisfaction. As Emma returned, her mother smiled proudly. Moved and delighted, her mother gave her a big hug and praised her for extending a helping hand to the homeless man outside. With another large plate of steak ordered on the table, a surge of happiness and warmth running Emma, she was so relieved that she tasted the steak happily. At that moment, the mother realized that Emma had taught her an invaluable lesson-the joy of giving. While the steak may have been Emma’s favorite, Emma understood the importance of sharing and making a difference in someone else’s life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一天，艾玛的妈妈带艾玛去她最喜欢的牛排店，吃牛排的时候，艾玛提出想把牛排给流浪汉，妈妈同意了。艾玛因为自己做了好事而感到满足。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“艾玛拿着满满一盘食物迅速离开了桌子”可知，第一段可描写艾玛给流浪汉送食物的经过和妈妈的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“艾玛回来时，妈妈骄傲地笑了”可知，第二段可描写妈妈为艾玛感到骄傲。 2.续写线索：拿着食物离开——送流浪汉食物——流浪汉感谢——妈妈感到满足——称赞艾玛——妈妈感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：fill with/be full of ②递给：hand/pass/give ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①同情：empathy/sympathy ②高兴：delighted/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] As Emma approached the homeless man, her eyes filled with empathy.

B When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents (口音), most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of misses the point. More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition (定义) of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do! Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a changed form of a language that is featured by its variations (变化) of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different? We need to move beyond a narrow idea of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity (身份). Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way. 4. What does the author think of his/ her friends’ response in paragraph 1? A. It reflects their self confidence. B. It reflects their language levels. C. It misses the point of communication. D. It misses the real meaning of accents. 5. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English? A. To support the use of dialects. B. To show the importance of dialects. C. To correct a grammatical mistake. D. To highlight a traditional method. 6. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph? A. Learn to speak with your local dialect. B. Look for an official definition of accents. C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects. D. Separate our local languages from others’. 7. What can be a suitable title for this passage? A. Everyone Has an Accent B. Accents Improve Our Identities C. Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D. Standard English Is at Risk C When people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language. Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I had one of my poems published. This bit of success, however, was the point where my problem began. Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching freshman composition. Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day. As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 a.m. The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm’s reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was when my morning writing began. Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours: the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, I wrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel, The Line of the Sun. was finished. If I had waited to have the time, I would still be waiting to write my novel. What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision: taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way. 8. What motivated the author to start her writing career? A. Her strong wish to share. B. Her keen interest in writing. C. Her urgent need to make a living. D. Her passionate desire for fame. 9. What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing? A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day. B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style. C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter. D. She was unsure about her writing skills. 10. Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway? A. In case the clock in her room broke down. B. In case she failed to hear the ringing. C. To force herself out of bed. D. To wake up her family. 11. What can we learn from the author’s success in her writing career? A. It is never too late to change your job. B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time. C A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action. D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing. D When was the last time you showed off your being sensitive (敏感的)? Most likely, the answer is never. There are plenty of traits (特征) we take pride in but being “sensitive” is usually seen as a weakness. It’s used to mean you’re fragile (脆弱的), thin-skinned or just overreacting, but it’s wrongheaded. Sensitivity is largely genetic, and not something you can turn off. It is a trait linked to giftedness and something we ought to accept. As a personality trait, being sensitive means you take in more information from your environment, and you do more with it. Sensitive people are better at a brain level to process information more deeply than others do. The most well-known and celebrated sensitive gift is creativity. Sensitive people have this capacity for innovation (创新) because they tend to be deep thinkers who spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads - and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions. Many - perhaps most - artists, musicians, actors and even scientists are themselves sensitive people, including Charles Darwin - the model of a sensitive person. Sensitive people do pay a price for these gifts, however, by becoming overstimulated (过度刺激的). Overstimulation is what happens when there is simply too much information for the brain to keep going deep. It happens in situations that are too loud, too chaotic, or too emotionally tense. This is the only time when sensitive people really might seem less “tough” than others, but sensitive people can learn to largely prevent it. For example, a little bit of quiet alone time goes a very long way. If any of this sounds like you you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. You cannot make yourself less sensitive than you are and trying to do so only cuts you off from your gifts.

She was excited all the way when she was sitting in her mother’s car. Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn’t help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, “Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!” “Okay! Mom,” she answered while continuing to roll down the car window. “Emma! Don’t head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!” Mom raised his voice as she spoke. She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. “Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?” Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window.

Mom sighed and asked, “Isn’t it your favorite steak, sweetheart?” “It is, mom,” Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before. “No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. “I can only eat it once a month, right?” “Yes, we made a promise about this,” said the mother. “Can I just give it to him?” Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes.
