E. and enjoying sugary drinks and snacks. It wasn’t until she reached her 40s, weighing around 300 pounds, that she decided to change her lifestyle. Simple diet changes, like cutting out soda and limiting desserts, helped her lose 50 pounds. But she hit a plateau (停滞期) and knew she needed to start moving. Initially, Laska decided to just walk. Gradually, she added running to her routine, starting with just one side of a tennis court and eventually running her first mile in 2014. Laska kept her new habit a secret at first. One day, at the park with her kids, she decided to run to catch up with them on their bikes. “The look on my daughter’s face when she saw me running was like she saw Santa Claus,” Laska recalls. That’s when she started taking her one-mile jogs up to a 5 km,10 km, half-marathon and eventually marathon distance. In 2015, she ran her first marathon and won the first place in her age group. “What motivated me was that it wasn’t as hard as I thought,” says Laska, who has lost a total of 140 pounds and kept it off for four years. “People make huge decisions, but I just made a small choice to take a walk.” She emphasizes that these small decisions can snowball into significant changes. Taking life one step at a time has not only improved Laska’s well-being but promoted relationships with her husband and kids and even brought on a promotion at work. When asked about the key to losing weight, Laska says, “Exercise. For me, it is not about running a marathon, but about those daily decisions to just go outside.” 4. Why did Laska want to change her lifestyle? A. To remain young. B. To reduce weight. C. To inspire children. D. To appreciate music. 5. How did Laska begin her exercise journey? A. By just going on foot. B. By forming a new habit. C. By running along a court. D. By simply changing diets. 6. What drove Laska to run longer? A. Her kid’s amazement at her running. B. Reaching a plateau in losing weight. C. Significant changes brought by running. D. Getting a prize in running marathons. 7. What does the author want to tell us? A. Better late than never. B. More haste, less speed. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Small steps, big benefits. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了斯蒂芬妮·拉斯卡改变自己的生活方式，最终成功减重并保持健康的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It wasn’t until she reached her 40s, weighing around 300 pounds, that she decided to change her lifestyle.(直到她40多岁，体重达到300磅左右时，她才决定改变自己的生活方式)”可知，拉斯卡改变生活方式是因为她想减轻体重。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Initially, Laska decided to just walk. Gradually, she added running to her routine.(起初，拉斯卡决定只是走路。渐渐地，她在日常活动中加入了跑步)”可知，拉斯卡只是通过步行开始了她的锻炼之旅。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““The look on my daughter’s face when she saw me running was like she saw Santa Claus,” Laska recalls. That’s when she started taking her one-mile jogs up to a 5 km,10 km, half-marathon and eventually marathon distance. (拉斯卡回忆道：“当我女儿看到我跑步时，她脸上的表情就像看到了圣诞老人。”。从那时起，她开始慢跑一英里，跑完5公里、10公里、半程马拉松，最终跑完马拉松)”可知，拉斯卡的孩子对她跑步感到惊讶，这驱使她跑得更远。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She emphasizes that these small decisions can snowball into significant changes.(她强调，这些小的决定可以像滚雪球一样变成巨大的变化)”可知，作者想告诉我们小步前进，大有裨益。故选D。 C Arm wrestling (扳手腕) was one of my favorite ways of playing with my brothers growing up. It allowed my younger brother and me to test our strength without getting tackled. I also put up a good fight when arm wresting with my older brother and his friends. Their greater strength and experience made the challenge even more interesting. Every match seemed to end in a good laugh, no matter who won. Now I’m a scientist who studies animals in the wild. I have seen that playing is a great way to socialize; there is so much more to play than fun and games. When humans and other animals play, they are building trust with siblings and friends. They learn how far they can push their partners before anyone becomes angry or physically hurt. That’s called “testing boundaries.” Older playmates may self-handicap, appearing to be less competent than they really are to help younger players learn skills and explore their abilities. Play offers a safe space, where everyone knows the rules and can experiment with new ways to move, think, and respond to others. Over the past 30 years, I’ve learned a lot about play by watching young male elephants test their strength through sparring (拳击) games with their friends and superiors. Group sparring matches are common at sunset, when several different elephant families show up at the water hole to drink. After the initial excitement of the arrival and a good long drink, young males slip away from the sides of their watchful moms and aunts to form sparring rings. An elder sister makes sure that the playing doesn’t get out of hand, so she is ever present with a trunk on the back or over the head to calm the enthusiasm. That way, the younger males don’t end up on the bottom of the pile. Watching young elephants spar reminds me that play should be part of our everyday schedule — the less structure, the better. 8. What does the author want to say by mentioning his/her childhood experience? A. Winning is not the true meaning of play. B. Children prefer to play traditional games. C. Play is essential in children’s development. D. Arm wrestling is a safe way to test strength. 9. What benefit of play does the author emphasize? A. It brings fun. B. It enables boundary breaking. C. It settles conflicts. D. It develops socializing skills. 10. How do older playmates help the younger to learn during playtime? A. By pretending to be weaker. B. By warning them of risks. C. By testing their competence. D. By teaching necessary skills. 11. How would the author describe the elephant’s sparring games? A. Safe and fair. B. Not strictly controlled. C. Well-organized. D. Highly competitive. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了扳手腕这一游戏在作者成长过程中的意义，以及玩耍对于人类和动物社交、学习技能、建立信任等方面的重要性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Arm wrestling(扳手腕)was one of my favorite ways of playing with my brothers growing up. It allowed my younger brother and me to test our strength without getting tackled. I also put up a good fight when arm wrestling with my older brother and his friends. Their greater strength and experience made the challenge even more interesting. Every match seemed to end in a good laugh, no matter who won. (扳手腕是我小时候与兄弟们玩耍的最爱之一。它让我和弟弟能够测试我们的力量，而又不会真的动手打架。在与哥哥和他的朋友们扳手腕时，我也会全力以赴。他们更强的力量和丰富的经验使得这场较量更加有趣。无论谁赢，每场比赛似乎都以欢声笑语告终。)”以及第二段“Now I’m a scientist who studies animals in the wild. I have seen that playing is a great way to socialize; there is so much more to play than fun and games.(如今，我是一名研究野生动物的科学家。我发现，玩耍是社交的一种绝佳方式；玩耍的意义远不止于娱乐和游戏。)”可知，文章开头作者先讲述了自己小时候与兄弟们扳手腕的经历，描述了当时玩扳手腕不管谁赢大家最后都会开心大笑的场景。接着引出后文自己作为研究野生动物的科学家，阐述关于玩耍在社交等方面的重要意义。由此可推测，作者提及童年经历是为了引出玩耍这个话题，进而说明玩耍对于成长发展有着诸多重要作用，就像小时候玩耍给自己带来的种种积极影响一样，所以其目的是想表明玩耍在儿童发展中是至关重要的。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Now I’m a scientist who studies animals in the wild. I have seen that playing is a great way to socialize; there is so much more to play than fun and games.(如今，我是一名研究野生动物的科学家。我发现，玩耍是社交的一种绝佳方式；玩耍的意义远不止于娱乐和游戏。)”可知，作者认为玩耍是一种很好的社交方式。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Older playmates may self-handicap, appearing to be less competent than they really are to help younger players learn skills and explore their abilities.(年长的玩伴可能会自我设限，表现得比自己实际的能力要差，以帮助年轻的玩伴学习技能并探索自己的能力。)”可知，年长玩伴是通过假装自己比较弱来帮助年幼者学习的。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“An elder sister makes sure that the playing doesn’t get out of hand, so she is ever present with a trunk on the back or over the head to calm the enthusiasm. That way, the younger males don’t end up on the bottom of the pile.(一位年长的姐姐会确保玩耍不会失控，所以她总是用鼻子搭在背上或头上，以平息大家的热情。这样，年轻的雄性大象就不会在打斗中处于下风。)”可知，有年长的姐姐在旁边确保玩耍不会失控，用象鼻放在后背或者头上来平息过于高涨的热情，以防年幼的雄性大象陷入危险境地，但并没有严格的、完整细致的管控体系，整体来说大象的拳击游戏不是严格被控制的。故选B。 D Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 12. What may cause an opportunity cost? A. Spending time on worthy activities. B. Joining in social meetings actively. C. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D. Doing physical exercises efficiently. 13. Why does the author mention David’s observations? A. To praise a wise philosopher. B. To teach readers football skills. C. To cite a case of overthinking. D. To argue for reflective thinking. 14. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach. C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details. 15. What is a suitable title for this text? A. The Risk of Overthinking B. The Key to Well-being C. The Way to Think Reflectively D. The Method to Develop Yourself 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. (坐下来思考什么能让我们快乐比追求让我们快乐的事情效率低得多，如果我们想得太多，就会有机会成本——我们本可以花在有价值的活动上的时间，而我们却在深入思考最好的发展方式)”可知，困于过度的自我反思会导致机会成本，故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. (他的一个观察是，虽然运动员需要思考他们正在执行的基本动作，但开始思考构成这些动作的元素可能会适得其反)”可推知，作者提到David的观察是为了举例说明过度思考的劣势。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 “What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. (我们需要的是一种对情况的自动响应)”可知，作者建议读者采取一个直接的方法来达成目标。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.(但是，当我们思考自己的幸福以及是什么让我们的生活变得美好时，这种反思的态度似乎真的会破坏我们找到我们所寻求的东西的机会)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。由此可知，A项“过度思考的风险”适合作为文章的标题。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。 As a baby, Jack’s remarkable swimming journey began. At ten months, he already practised with swim aids. At six, he won his first swimming competition in a group for kids ten-and-under. At seven, he stayed at the pool from nine in the morning till eight hours later. His mother, recognizing his gift, took it as her duty to guide him. _____16_____ By a young age, Jack had been ranked the number one swimmer of the country, a title he held for a record-breaking duration. _____17_____He played skiing, tennis, soccer, and many more. Sam was a kid who loved to play, and his parents had no particular athletic ambitions for him. It was nearing his teens that he began to focus more on basketball. _____18_____In his mid-thirties, an age by which many professional basketball players are typically retired, Sam was still in the national basketball team. Top athletes like Jack at the peak of their abilities do spend more time on focused, deliberate practice than their peers (同龄人). But scientists also find that potential champions typically devote less time to deliberate practice in childhood, but more to “sampling” various activities. _____19_____ In a world that demands people to specialize early, we face a challenge to keep the benefits of diverse experiences and delayed concentration. There’s a need for those with Jack’s early focus. _____20_____— People who start with many different things and accept various experiences. People with range. A. There was no time to waste. B. And it was all going according to plan. C. The growing complexity of the world also calls for more Sams. D. But it didn’t seem to hold back his development in the long run. E. In reality, the Sam’s path to success is far more common, yet less told. F. In contrast to Jack, Sam didn’t show significant sporting talent until later. G. Unlike the swimming talent, Sam’s early years were filled with a variety of sports. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. D 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过杰克和山姆不同的运动成长经历，探讨了早期专注专项训练与多样活动体验对成为冠军的不同影响，进而思考当下社会所需人才类型。 【16题详解】 根据上文“His mother, recognizing his gift, took it as her duty to guide him. (他的母亲认出了他的天赋，把引导他当作自己的责任。)”和下文“By a young age, Jack had been ranked the number one swimmer of the country, a title he held for a record-breaking duration. (在很小的时候，杰克就被列为全国第一游泳运动员，他保持了破纪录的冠军头衔。)”可知，本空要表达母亲认识到杰克的天赋后，如何指导他，以及杰克如何取得全国排名第一的游泳运动员称号。根据后文杰克取得的成绩，可以看出母亲的指导非常有效，一切都在按照计划进行。选项B“一切都按计划进行”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据下文“He played skiing, tennis, soccer, and many more. (他滑雪、网球、足球等等。)”可知，此处在描述山姆小时候参与了多种体育活动，这与杰克专注于游泳形成了对比。选项G“与游泳天赋不同，山姆的早年充满了各种运动。”符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“It was nearing his teens that he began to focus more on basketball. (在他十几岁的时候，他开始更加专注于篮球。)”和下文“In his mid-thirties, an age by which many professional basketball players are typically retired, Sam was still in the national basketball team. (在他三十多岁的时候，许多职业篮球运动员通常都会退役，山姆仍然在国家篮球队。)”可知，此处描述山姆在篮球方面的成就，尽管他少年时没有专注，临近青少年才专注篮球，但这并未阻碍他的长远发展。选项D“但从长远来看，这似乎并没有阻碍他的发展。”恰好说明这个转折和强调。故选D。 19题详解】 根据上文“Top athletes like Jack at the peak of their abilities do spend more time on focused, deliberate practice than their peers (同龄人). But scientists also find that potential champions typically devote less time to deliberate practice in childhood, but more to “sampling” various activities. (像杰克这样处于巅峰状态的顶尖运动员确实比同龄人花更多的时间进行专注、深思熟虑的练习。但科学家们也发现，潜在的冠军通常在童年时期花更少的时间进行刻意练习，而是更多地“抽样”各种活动。)”可知，科学家发现潜在的冠军通常在童年时花较少时间于刻意练习，而是更多地尝试各种活动。选项E“事实上，山姆的成功之路要普遍得多，但却鲜为人知。”符合语境， 指出实际上像山姆这样的成功之路更为普遍，但却较少被提及。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“In a world that demands people to specialize early, we face a challenge to keep the benefits of diverse experiences and delayed concentration. There’s a need for those with Jack’s early focus. (在一个要求人们尽早专注的世界里，我们面临着一个挑战，即保持多样化体验和延迟专注的好处。需要像杰克那样早期关注的人。)” 可知，这里已经提到了对于早期专注的需求，那么接下来应该会讲到世界对多样性和延迟专注的需求。选项C“世界日益复杂，也需要更多像山姆这样的人”符合语境，衔接下文恰当。故选C。 第三部分英语知识运用(共两节, 满分35分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C种D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Reggie couldn’t hear.

She feared her dad would ruin her graduation for looking “dirty” and smelling of coal and sweat. “Hey, sweetheart! Look what I got for you,” Pete said as he entered, sounding happy. Then he left two packages on the table. Sabrina was surprised and quickly unwrapped one box and found a beautiful dress inside. She loved it very much. Then she opened the other box and saw a new suit in it. “Thanks for the dress, dad. But for whom is this suit?” “It’s for me, honey! I have to look amazing…it’s your graduation, after all!” Sabrina bit her lips in frustration and said, “Dad, I don’t want you to come. All my friends and their parents will be attending. I don’t want them to laugh at me after seeing you, alright?” Sabrina’s words hit Pete like a bag of bricks. He was so hurt because he was looking forward to attending the event. However, he knew Sabrina was too young to understand his love for her. “She’s still a little girl! ” he comforted his broken heart and decided to still go to the graduation party with a surprise. On the day of the graduation, Pete arrived and sat in the seating area for the parents. When his daughter’s name was announced, Pete ran up to the front with his phone and started filming as Sabrina received her diploma. Sabrina looked so pretty, and Pete was so proud she was graduating. Suddenly, Sabrina heard the host say, “Mr. Parker, can we please have you on stage.” Sabrina was confused and didn’t understand what was going on as she saw Pete walking over to the platform. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Pete stepped onto the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears streamed down Sabrina’s cheeks. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Pete stepped onto the stage. Holding the microphone with trembling hands, he spoke emotionally, “I’m Pete Parker, Sabrina’s father. As a coal miner, my job isn’t glamorous, but it has allowed me to provide for my family and give my daughter opportunities I never had.” He paused, looking at Sabrina with love. “Though I may not look like much to some, all I’ve ever wanted is for my little girl to be proud of who she is — and who her dad is.” The audience erupted into applause, moved by his words. Tears streamed down Sabrina’s cheeks. She realized how wrong she had been to judge her father by his appearance. Thinking about his sacrifices, working tirelessly in tough conditions so she could pursue her dreams, she saw him as a hero who loved her unconditionally. Running to him, she hugged him tightly, whispering, “Dad, I’m so sorry. I’m so proud of you.” Pete hugged her back, tears in his eyes, both vowing never to let anything shake their bond again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Sabrina最初因为父亲作为煤矿工人看起来“脏”且有煤灰味而不愿意让他参加自己的毕业典礼，但在父亲通过一个感人演讲表达了对她的深爱和支持后，Sabrina意识到自己的错误并重新与父亲建立了深厚的感情。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Pete走上舞台。”可知，第一段可描写Pete在舞台上发言，袒露自己作为矿工父亲的心声，让观众为之动容。 ②由第二段首句内容“泪水顺着Sabrina的脸颊流下。”可知，第二段可描写Sabrina意识到自己的错误，对父亲充满愧疚，与父亲相拥和解，父女关系更加紧密。 2.续写线索：父亲发言袒露心声——观众被感动——女儿落泪认错——父女相拥——关系更牢固 3.词汇激活 行类 ①握着：hold/grasp/clutch ②爆发出掌声：erupt into applause/burst into applause ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①感动的：moved/touched ②为……感到骄傲：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】【高分句型1】She realized how wrong she had been to judge her father by his appearance.

B Growing up, Stephanie Laska never worked out, preferring music class to P. E. and enjoying sugary drinks and snacks. It wasn’t until she reached her 40s, weighing around 300 pounds, that she decided to change her lifestyle. Simple diet changes, like cutting out soda and limiting desserts, helped her lose 50 pounds. But she hit a plateau (停滞期) and knew she needed to start moving. Initially, Laska decided to just walk. Gradually, she added running to her routine, starting with just one side of a tennis court and eventually running her first mile in 2014. Laska kept her new habit a secret at first. One day, at the park with her kids, she decided to run to catch up with them on their bikes. “The look on my daughter’s face when she saw me running was like she saw Santa Claus,” Laska recalls. That’s when she started taking her one-mile jogs up to a 5 km,10 km, half-marathon and eventually marathon distance. In 2015, she ran her first marathon and won the first place in her age group. “What motivated me was that it wasn’t as hard as I thought,” says Laska, who has lost a total of 140 pounds and kept it off for four years. “People make huge decisions, but I just made a small choice to take a walk.” She emphasizes that these small decisions can snowball into significant changes. Taking life one step at a time has not only improved Laska’s well-being but promoted relationships with her husband and kids and even brought on a promotion at work. When asked about the key to losing weight, Laska says, “Exercise. For me, it is not about running a marathon, but about those daily decisions to just go outside.” 4. Why did Laska want to change her lifestyle? A. To remain young. B. To reduce weight. C. To inspire children. D. To appreciate music. 5. How did Laska begin her exercise journey? A. By just going on foot. B. By forming a new habit. C. By running along a court. D. By simply changing diets. 6. What drove Laska to run longer? A. Her kid’s amazement at her running. B. Reaching a plateau in losing weight. C. Significant changes brought by running. D. Getting a prize in running marathons. 7. What does the author want to tell us? A. Better late than never. B. More haste, less speed. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Small steps, big benefits. C Arm wrestling (扳手腕) was one of my favorite ways of playing with my brothers growing up. It allowed my younger brother and me to test our strength without getting tackled. I also put up a good fight when arm wresting with my older brother and his friends. Their greater strength and experience made the challenge even more interesting. Every match seemed to end in a good laugh, no matter who won. Now I’m a scientist who studies animals in the wild. I have seen that playing is a great way to socialize; there is so much more to play than fun and games. When humans and other animals play, they are building trust with siblings and friends. They learn how far they can push their partners before anyone becomes angry or physically hurt. That’s called “testing boundaries.” Older playmates may self-handicap, appearing to be less competent than they really are to help younger players learn skills and explore their abilities. Play offers a safe space, where everyone knows the rules and can experiment with new ways to move, think, and respond to others. Over the past 30 years, I’ve learned a lot about play by watching young male elephants test their strength through sparring (拳击) games with their friends and superiors. Group sparring matches are common at sunset, when several different elephant families show up at the water hole to drink. After the initial excitement of the arrival and a good long drink, young males slip away from the sides of their watchful moms and aunts to form sparring rings. An elder sister makes sure that the playing doesn’t get out of hand, so she is ever present with a trunk on the back or over the head to calm the enthusiasm. That way, the younger males don’t end up on the bottom of the pile. Watching young elephants spar reminds me that play should be part of our everyday schedule — the less structure, the better. 8. What does the author want to say by mentioning his/her childhood experience? A. Winning is not the true meaning of play. B. Children prefer to play traditional games. C. Play is essential in children’s development. D. Arm wrestling is a safe way to test strength. 9. What benefit of play does the author emphasize? A. It brings fun. B. It enables boundary breaking. C. It settles conflicts. D. It develops socializing skills. 10. How do older playmates help the younger to learn during playtime? A. By pretending to be weaker. B. By warning them of risks. C. By testing their competence. D. By teaching necessary skills. 11. How would the author describe the elephant’s sparring games? A. Safe and fair. B. Not strictly controlled. C. Well-organized. D. Highly competitive. D Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements.

She feared her dad would ruin her graduation for looking “dirty” and smelling of coal and sweat. “Hey, sweetheart! Look what I got for you,” Pete said as he entered, sounding happy. Then he left two packages on the table. Sabrina was surprised and quickly unwrapped one box and found a beautiful dress inside. She loved it very much. Then she opened the other box and saw a new suit in it. “Thanks for the dress, dad. But for whom is this suit?” “It’s for me, honey! I have to look amazing…it’s your graduation, after all!” Sabrina bit her lips in frustration and said, “Dad, I don’t want you to come. All my friends and their parents will be attending. I don’t want them to laugh at me after seeing you, alright?” Sabrina’s words hit Pete like a bag of bricks. He was so hurt because he was looking forward to attending the event.
