Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad.
This situation is especially strange with people who have known me for a long time, like my parents, who witnessed all my major life changes before this one. I didn’t realize how much I’d changed until I interacted with them and close friends. Despite only being away for three and a half months, I quickly noticed the differences between who I was before and who I am now. Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad.
I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding (相对应的) environment is challenging. For instance, being in Madrid taught me to be more relaxed and stress-free. However, returning to Penn State with its demanding course load makes maintaining that mentality (心态) difficult. I’ve come to realize the problem that perpetual stress about school isn’t healthy, especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success. Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material.
Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through it in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I’m determined to maintain the important lessons I learned about myself and others in Madrid.
4. What was the author’s biggest concern when returning home?
A. Going back to his original self. B. Adapting to new surroundings.
C. Experiencing culture shock. D. Missing old acquaintances.
5. What did the author realize after returning home?
A He should make his family familiar with his positive changes.
B. He should change his mentality to care less about his study.
C. He should adapt his mindset to fit into the old learning environment.
D. He should apply himself to his study to stay ahead of class.
6 What does the underlined word “perpetual” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Current. B. Improper. C. Unnecessary. D. Continuous.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The sufferings of reverse culture shock. B. The reflections on personal growth.
C. The adaptations to new environments. D. The success in academic performance.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者最初担心出国时的文化冲击,但发现回国后的适应其实更困难。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad.”(在出国之前,我非常担心文化冲击,但事实证明,当我回国时,我很难应对逆向文化冲击。回归后的过渡期比预期的要艰难。这不仅仅是回到家庭生活;这也是关于在相同的旧环境中处理不同的人的奇怪情况。我最害怕的是几个月后醒来,感觉自己还是出国留学前的那个我)可知,作者回国后最担心的是回到原来的自己。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad.”(在过去的几周里,我一直在思考如何保持我在国外学期所获得的积极变化和品质)以及第三段中“I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding(相对应的)environment is challenging.”(我意识到环境和情形对心态有很大的影响,在失去相应环境的同时保持某种心态是很有挑战性的)可知,作者回国后意识到他应该调整自己的心态,以适应原来的学习环境。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“…especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success.”(尤其是在经历了一个学期的旅行、娱乐和学业成功之后)以及第三段中“Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material.”(因此,我决定像往常一样努力学习,偶尔让自己休息一下,尽我所能避免考试和作业带来的过度压力。这意味着我会在必要的时候付出努力,以确保我总是赶上或领先于课堂材料)可知,此处为我开始意识到学校的持续的压力并不健康。故可猜测划线单词perpetual为“持续的”意思,与D项Continuous“持续不断的”意思一致。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及第一段“Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home.

C
Stacy Dean, an official at the US Department of Agriculture, was inspired by a visit to Watkins Elementary, in Washington, D. C. Students grow vegetables in their school garden. They also roll up their sleeves in the school’s kitchen to participate in a FRESHFARM FoodPrints class, which integrates cooking and nutrition education.
“Who’s next?” asks instructional coach Regina Green, as kids throw vegetables into the pan and the smell of fresh ginger and onions fills the air. “We grew these in our garden,” Jessie Gibson, one of the students, says proudly. Then he measures and pours dry ingredients into a bowl.
“Our family has tried new things because of the program,” says Catie Kelley, whose two children have participated in the FRESHFARM program. “They come home with the recipes,” Kelley says. “It’s fun because it’s things that we don’t usually make at home,” so it has encouraged them to try novel combinations. She says the kids take more of an interest at the grocery store to identify foods they’ve tried in the program.
Dean wants to have the science around healthy eating integrated. A block to scaling up these types of programs is money. The program relies on grants and receives some federal funding, but it’s not enough to expand the program to all the schools that could benefit.
In fact, there are other problems. At a time when diet-related disease is a leading cause of death, and unhealthy eating habits are rooted in US culture, it’s unrealistic to think that a cooking curriculum could overcome such a sweeping, societal problem. “We know from years of evidence that we need multiple things to come together to support healthy eating,” says Angela Odoms-Young, a professor of maternal and child nutrition at Cornell University.
Despite these challenges, programs like FRESHFARM can help kids expand their choices by introducing them to new tastes. At first, many kids are turned off by the bitter taste of greens. But through the magic of cooking, processing the onions, and blending in fresh ginger, kids can be inspired.
8. What inspired Dean during the visit to Watkins Elementary?
A. The coach’s skillful performance.
B. Students’ getting more access to nature.
C. The integrated hands-on cooking.
D. Students’ gardening and cooking.
9. How does the program benefit Kelley’s family?
A. They pay more attention to healthy eating.
B. They have a more harmonious relation.
C. They show more interest in shopping.
D. They have enriched their recipes.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. Advocating healthy eating needs joint efforts.
B. A cooking curriculum should be promoted.
C. Nutrition helps put students on a healthy path.
D. Food is fundamental to life and good health.
11. What does the author think of the program?
A. Complex. B. Widespread. C. Effective. D. Easily-operated.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了美国沃特金斯小学开设FRESH FARM课程,让学生种植蔬菜,上烹饪课。该项目使得学生更重视健康,反响良好。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Stacy Dean, an official at the US Department of Agriculture, was inspired by a visit to Watkins Elementary, in Washington, D. C. Students grow vegetables in their school garden. They also roll up their sleeves in the school’s kitchen to participate in a FRESHFARM FoodPrints class, which integrates cooking and nutrition education.(美国农业部官员Stacy Dean在参观华盛顿特区沃特金斯小学时受到启发。学生们在学校的花园里种蔬菜。他们还在学校的厨房里卷起袖子,参加了一个将烹饪和营养教育结合起来的FRESHFARM FoodPrints课程。)”可知,Dean参观沃特金斯小学时,发现学生在校园种植蔬菜,然后在烹饪课上把这些蔬菜做成有营养的食物,他因此深受启发。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘Our family has tried new things because of the program,’ says Catie Kelley, whose two children have participated in the FRESHFARM program. ‘They come home with the recipes,’ Kelley says. ‘It’s fun because it’s things that we don’t usually make at home,’ so it has encouraged them to try novel combinations.(‘因为这个项目,我们家尝试了新事物,’Catie Kelley说,她的两个孩子也参加了FRESHFARM项目。‘他们带着食谱回家,’凯利说。‘这很有趣,因为这些东西我们通常不会在家里做,’所以这鼓励他们尝试新的组合。)”可知,这个FRESHFARM项目丰富了Kelley家的食谱。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“‘We know from years of evidence that we need multiple things to come together to support healthy eating,’ says Angela Odoms-Young, a professor of maternal and child nutrition at Cornell University.(康奈尔大学妇幼营养学教授Angela Odoms-Young说:‘多年的证据表明,我们需要多种因素共同支持健康饮食。’)”可知,倡导健康的饮食需要多方共同的努力才能实现。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite these challenges, programs like FRESHFARM can help kids expand their choices by introducing them to new tastes. At first, many kids are turned off by the bitter taste of greens. But through the magic of cooking, processing the onions, and blending in fresh ginger, kids can be inspired.(尽管存在这些挑战,像FRESHFARM这样的项目可以通过向孩子们介绍新的口味来帮助他们扩大选择范围。起初,许多孩子对绿色蔬菜的苦味感到厌烦。但是通过神奇的烹饪,处理洋葱,加入新鲜的生姜,孩子们会受到启发。)”可知,作者认为这个项目可以有效地改变孩子的口味,养成健康的饮食习惯,因此作者认为这个项目是有效的。故选C项。
D
One thing that many Americans can agree on, even in an era of deep political polarization (两极分化), is that our country is in a moral free fall. In survey after survey, US adults of all ages, education levels, political or religious backgrounds say that people are less kind, honest, generous, and respectful than they used to be. So is our nation’s moral foundation falling apart?
Not necessarily. In fact, two psychologists, Columbia’s Adam Mastroianni and Harvard’s Daniel Gilbert, say that the widespread belief in moral decline (下降) is a misconception. They recently conducted a meta-analysis of all the major surveys that asked Americans about the state of moral values in this country and they found that US residents have been complaining about one another’s declining morality for as long as researchers have been seeking their opinions on the matter. And yet when individual respondents are asked multiple times, over the span of a decade or more, to describe the level of politeness and kindness they observe in their fellow citizens, their descriptions of other people’s attitudes and behaviors do not actually worsen at all.
Mastroianni and Gilbert, whose paper appears in the journal Nature, say the results of similar surveys conducted in dozens of other countries over the decades suggest that people all over the world are easy to be influenced by the misconception that their peers are less moral than they once were. They say that this misconception is likely explained by two well-established psychological phenomena acting together: that we tend to pay closer attention to negative rather than positive information about people’s actions in the present day; and that we tend to selectively forget such negative impressions as the years roll on, leaving us with good memories for the past.
Mastroianni and Gilbert also say that their discovery has important social and political implications, especially given that, as one 2015 survey found, three-quarters of all Americans believe that addressing the moral breakdown of the country should be a high priority (优先项) for the government. “The United States faces many well-documented problems, from climate change and terrorism to racial injustice and economic inequality — and yet, nowadays it is believed that the government should devote fewer resources to reversing an imaginary trend.”
12. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To provide a historical review of American society.
B. To present contrasting viewpoints on moral decline.
C. To introduce the topic of moral decline in American society.
D. To discuss the method of psychological research on moral decline.
13. What is the main argument presented by Mastroianni and Gilbert in their research?
A. The morality of American society seems to be on a rapid rise.
B. American citizens’ belief in declining morality is a false idea.
C. The moral breakdown has already been a long-term issue in America.
D. American society has realized its own misconception of moral decline.
14. According to the passage, what is the reason for the widespread belief in moral decline?
A. Selective memory about previous impressions.
B. The mixed influence of psychological phenomena.
C. Negative descriptions of morality from peers.
D. Lack of government involvement in moral issues.
15. What does Mastroianni and Gilbert’s research imply on social and political views?
A. Americans should attach more importance to global issues.
B. Americans should help the government reverse the moral decline.
C. Government resources should be focused on addressing the moral decline.
D. Addressing the imaginary moral breakdown should not be a top choice.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了心理学家亚当·马斯楚安尼和丹尼尔·吉尔伯特进行的一项研究,该研究发现,在美国普遍认为道德衰落是一种误解。他们分析了几十年来来自不同国家的调查,发现人们倾向于认为他们的同龄人没有以前那么道德,尽管有证据表明事实并非如此。心理学家将这种误解归因于人们倾向于关注负面信息,并随着时间的推移选择性地忘记负面印象。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“One thing that many Americans can agree on, even in an era of deep political polarization(两极分化), is that our country is in a moral free fall. In survey after survey, US adults of all ages, education levels, political or religious backgrounds say that people are less kind, honest, generous, and respectful than they used to be. So is our nation’s moral foundation falling apart?”(即使在一个政治两极分化严重的时代,许多美国人都同意的一件事是,我们的国家正在道德上自由落体。在一项又一项的调查中,各个年龄段、教育程度、政治或宗教背景的美国成年人都认为,人们不像以前那么善良、诚实、慷慨和尊重人了。那么,我们国家的道德基础正在分崩离析吗?)可推知,第一段的作用是介绍美国社会道德衰退的话题。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Not necessarily. In fact, two psychologists, Columbia’s Adam Mastroianni and Harvard’s Daniel Gilbert, say that the widespread belief in moral decline(下降)is a misconception.”(不一定。事实上,两位心理学家,哥伦比亚大学的亚当·马斯楚安尼和哈佛大学的丹尼尔·吉尔伯特说,普遍认为道德衰退是一种误解。)可知,马斯楚安尼和吉尔伯特在他们的研究中提出的主要论点是美国公民认为道德在下降,这是一种错误的观念。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“They say that this misconception is likely explained by two well-established psychological phenomena acting together: that we tend to pay closer attention to negative rather than positive information about people’s actions in the present day; and that we tend to selectively forget such negative impressions as the years roll on, leaving us with good memories for the past.”(他们说,这种误解可能是由两种公认的心理现象共同作用来解释的:我们倾向于更关注当下人们行为的负面信息,而不是正面信息;随着岁月的流逝,我们往往会选择性地忘记这些负面印象,给过去留下美好的回忆。)可知,根据文章,普遍认为道德衰退的原因是心理现象的综合影响。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mastroianni and Gilbert also say that their discovery has important social and political implications, especially given that, as one 2015 survey found, three-quarters of all Americans believe that addressing the moral breakdown of the country should be a high priority(优先项)for the government. “The United States faces many well-documented problems, from climate change and terrorism to racial injustice and economic inequality — and yet, nowadays it is believed that the government should devote fewer resources to reversing an imaginary trend.””(马斯楚安尼和吉尔伯特还表示,他们的发现具有重要的社会和政治意义,尤其是考虑到2015年的一项调查发现,四分之三的美国人认为解决国家道德崩溃问题应该是政府的首要任务。“美国面临着许多有据可证的问题,从气候变化和恐怖主义到种族不公正和经济不平等——然而,如今人们认为,政府应该投入更少的资源来扭转假想的趋势。”)可推知,马斯楚安尼和吉尔伯特的研究对社会和政治观点意味着解决假想的道德衰退不应该是首要选择。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题,每题2.5分,共12.5分)
Tips for online learning
Online learning has the same basic elements as face-to-face learning. The major difference is that instruction is delivered online. Many of the strategies for effective face-to-face learning also apply to online learning. ____16____ Here are some strategies we recommend:
Create space to learn. Invest some time to understand your needs and preferences as a learner, and what an effective study environment looks like for you. For example, you might need a quiet place to study, or you might need to listen to classical music. Consider what equipment you might need. Wherever you study, try to minimize distractions. ____17____
Manage your time effectively. Spend some time getting familiar with your online courses, understanding what is expected of you, mapping out key deadlines, and planning study time. ____18____ Research shows that learners gain more information if they spread their study over multiple days or sessions. Make sure your routine works with your other commitments so you’re more likely to stick to it.
____19____ Just as with face-to-face learning, mental energy matters: take time to reflect on whether you have understood the materials, try to remember and sort the information you have learned to aid memory, test your understanding, mix different concepts and skills into the same study session to build connections and fluency, ask questions, participate in class discussions, and try teaching concepts to others.
Ask for assistance! In an online learning environment, you may need to ask lots of questions and take ownership over shaping the learning experience so that it meets your needs. ____20____
Finally, if you’re facing specific challenges such as illness, mental health, accessibility, balancing childcare responsibilities, etc., it’s important for you to reach out to your instructors or the relevant student support services for discussion and creative problem-solving.
A. Regularly reflect on the course materials.
B. A long-term routine will help you stay on track.
C. Actively review and apply what you have learned.
D. However, online learning may require some additional skills to be successful.
E. At the end of the week, reflect on how you did, and adjust your routine as required.
F. This might mean asking your instructors or peers for help, or attending study groups.
G. Work with your roommates or family to create personal space so you can stay focused.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. B 19. C 20. F

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一名上海健身视频记录者利用太极拳锻炼和减压的事情。
【36题详解】

【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:29岁的宋是一名来自上海的健身视频博主,她在生活方式分享平台小红书上分享了自己学习太极拳后的变化。分析句意可知,此处用介词on表示“在”平台,或者介词through表示“通过平台”。故填on/through。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:除了每天打太极拳,她还将中国武术元素融入到健身课程中。因为提示词 element是可数名词,且前面没有冠词,所以此处用名词的复数形式。故填elements。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:中国的太极拳作为一种身心锻炼和减压的方式越来越受欢迎。分析句式结构可知,此处应该用提示词的副词形式increasingly作状语修饰形容词popular。故填increasingly。

考查定语从句。句意:此外,太极拳还影响了其他的健身运动,比如“太极跑”,它将太极技术与跑步相结合,以促进伤害预防和专注。分析句意可知,此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词ChiRunning是物,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which来引导。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:同上。分析句意可知,此处表目的,所以用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to promote。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这种传统智慧与现代生活方式的融合反映了人们越来越有兴趣通过太极拳和相关实践来理解生命的深层意义。分析句意可知,本句的时态为一般现在时,又因为主语This integration是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填reflects。

Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad.
This situation is especially strange with people who have known me for a long time like my parents, who witnessed all my major life changes before this one. I didn’t realize how much I’d changed until I interacted with them and close friends. Despite only being away for three and a half months, I quickly noticed the differences between who I was before and who I am now. Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad.
I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding (相对应的) environment is challenging. For instance, being in Madrid taught me to be more relaxed and stress-free. However, returning to Penn State with its demanding course load makes maintaining that mentality (心态) difficult. I’ve come to realize the problem that perpetual stress about school isn’t healthy, especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success. Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material.
Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through it in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I’m determined to maintain the important lessons I learned about myself and others in Madrid.
4. What was the author’s biggest concern when returning home?
A. Going back to his original self. B. Adapting to new surroundings.
C. Experiencing culture shock. D. Missing old acquaintances.
5. What did the author realize after returning home?
A. He should make his family familiar with his positive changes.
B. He should change his mentality to care less about his study.
C. He should adapt his mindset to fit into the old learning environment.
D. He should apply himself to his study to stay ahead of class.
6. What does the underlined word “perpetual” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Current. B. Improper. C. Unnecessary. D. Continuous.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The sufferings of reverse culture shock. B. The reflections on personal growth.
C. The adaptations to new environments. D. The success in academic performance.
C
Stacy Dean, an official at the US Department of Agriculture, was inspired by a visit to Watkins Elementary, in Washington, D. C. Students grow vegetables in their school garden. They also roll up their sleeves in the school’s kitchen to participate in a FRESHFARM FoodPrints class, which integrates cooking and nutrition education.
“Who’s next?” asks instructional coach Regina Green, as kids throw vegetables into the pan and the smell of fresh ginger and onions fills the air. “We grew these in our garden,” Jessie Gibson, one of the students, says proudly. Then he measures and pours dry ingredients into a bowl.
“Our family has tried new things because of the program,” says Catie Kelley, whose two children have participated in the FRESHFARM program. “They come home with the recipes,” Kelley says. “It’s fun because it’s things that we don’t usually make at home,” so it has encouraged them to try novel combinations. She says the kids take more of an interest at the grocery store to identify foods they’ve tried in the program.
Dean wants to have the science around healthy eating integrated. A block to scaling up these types of programs is money. The program relies on grants and receives some federal funding, but it’s not enough to expand the program to all the schools that could benefit.
In fact, there are other problems. At a time when diet-related disease is a leading cause of death, and unhealthy eating habits are rooted in US culture, it’s unrealistic to think that a cooking curriculum could overcome such a sweeping, societal problem. “We know from years of evidence that we need multiple things to come together to support healthy eating,” says Angela Odoms-Young, a professor of maternal and child nutrition at Cornell University.
Despite these challenges, programs like FRESHFARM can help kids expand their choices by introducing them to new tastes. At first, many kids are turned off by the bitter taste of greens. But through the magic of cooking, processing the onions, and blending in fresh ginger, kids can be inspired.
8. What inspired Dean during the visit to Watkins Elementary?
A. The coach’s skillful performance.
B. Students’ getting more access to nature.
C. The integrated hands-on cooking.
D. Students’ gardening and cooking.
9. How does the program benefit Kelley’s family?
A. They pay more attention to healthy eating.
B. They have a more harmonious relation.
C. They show more interest in shopping.
D. They have enriched their recipes.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. Advocating healthy eating needs joint efforts.
B. A cooking curriculum should be promoted.
C. Nutrition helps put students on a healthy path.
D. Food is fundamental to life and good health.
11. What does the author think of the program?
A. Complex. B. Widespread. C. Effective. D. Easily-operated.
D
One thing that many Americans can agree on, even in an era of deep political polarization (两极分化), is that our country is in a moral free fall. In survey after survey, US adults of all ages, education levels, political or religious backgrounds say that people are less kind, honest, generous, and respectful than they used to be. So is our nation’s moral foundation falling apart?
Not necessarily. In fact, two psychologists, Columbia’s Adam Mastroianni and Harvard’s Daniel Gilbert, say that the widespread belief in moral decline (下降) is a misconception. They recently conducted a meta-analysis of all the major surveys that asked Americans about the state of moral values in this country and they found that US residents have been complaining about one another’s declining morality for as long as researchers have been seeking their opinions on the matter. And yet when individual respondents are asked multiple times, over the span of a decade or more, to describe the level of politeness and kindness they observe in their fellow citizens, their descriptions of other people’s attitudes and behaviors do not actually worsen at all.
Mastroianni and Gilbert, whose paper appears in the journal Nature, say the results of similar surveys conducted in dozens of other countries over the decades suggest that people all over the world are easy to be influenced by the misconception that their peers are less moral than they once were. They say that this misconception is likely explained by two well-established psychological phenomena acting together: that we tend to pay closer attention to negative rather than positive information about people’s actions in the present day; and that we tend to selectively forget such negative impressions as the years roll on, leaving us with good memories for the past.
Mastroianni and Gilbert also say that their discovery has important social and political implications, especially given that, as one 2015 survey found, three-quarters of all Americans believe that addressing the moral breakdown of the country should be a high priority (优先项) for the government. “The United States faces many well-documented problems, from climate change and terrorism to racial injustice and economic inequality — and yet, nowadays it is believed that the government should devote fewer resources to reversing an imaginary trend.”

Tips for online learning
Online learning has the same basic elements as face-to-face learning. The major difference is that instruction is delivered online. Many of the strategies for effective face-to-face learning also apply to online learning. ____16____ Here are some strategies we recommend:
Create space to learn. Invest some time to understand your needs and preferences as a learner and what an effective study environment looks like for you. For example, you might need a quiet place to study, or you might need to listen to classical music. Consider what equipment you might need. Wherever you study, try to minimize distractions. ____17____
Manage your time effectively. Spend some time getting familiar with your online courses, understanding what is expected of you, mapping out key deadlines, and planning study time. ____18____ Research shows that learners gain more information if they spread their study over multiple days or sessions. Make sure your routine works with your other commitments so you’re more likely to stick to it.
____19____ Just as with face-to-face learning, mental energy matters: take time to reflect on whether you have understood the materials, try to remember and sort the information you have learned to aid memory, test your understanding, mix different concepts and skills into the same study session to build connections and fluency, ask questions, participate in class discussions, and try teaching concepts to others.
Ask for assistance! In an online learning environment, you may need to ask lots of questions and take ownership over shaping the learning experience so that it meets your needs. ____20____
Finally, if you’re facing specific challenges such as illness, mental health, accessibility, balancing childcare responsibilities, etc., it’s important for you to reach out to your instructors or the relevant student support services for discussion and creative problem-solving.
A. Regularly reflect on the course materials.
B. A long-term routine will help you stay on track.
C. Actively review and apply what you have learned.
D. However, online learning may require some additional skills to be successful.
E. At the end of the week, reflect on how you did, and adjust your routine as required.
F. This might mean asking your instructors or peers for help, or attending study groups.
G. Work with your roommates or family to create personal space so you can stay focused.
