Set Boundaries, Find Peace
By Nedra Glover Tawwab
Description
The instant New York Times bestseller.
End the struggle, speak up for what you need, and experience the freedom of being truly yourself.
Healthy boundaries. We all know we should have them in order to achieve work&life balance, deal with negative people, and enjoy rewarding relationships with partners, friends, and family. But what do “healthy boundaries” really mean — and how can we successfully express our needs, say “no,” and be decisive without offending others?
Licensed consultant, sought-after relationship expert, and one of the most influential therapists on Instagram, Nedra Glover Tawwab clarifies this complex topic for today’s world. In a relatable and inclusive tone, Set Boundaries, Find Peace presents simple-yet-powerful ways to set healthy boundaries in all aspects of life. Rooted in the latest research and best practices used in cognitive (认知的) behavioral therapy (CBT), these techniques help us identify and express our needs clearly and without apology — and uncover a root problem behind codependency, power struggles, anxiety, depression, burnout, and more.

When I teach yoga, I usually announce “Phones off and at the back of the room” at the beginning of class. Recently, I forgot and had to whisper to a student texting during class to turn off her phone. She looked displeased but did so. But two days later, in another class, I met with resistance from a young woman who completely refused.
“But I’m on call. I might have to jump up and run out of class.”
“Then maybe this isn’t the best place for you to be tonight.”
That response got me an angry and unfriendly look. But when she came back the next week, there was no phone and she was much more present.
Present is what I’m asking my students to be. Present to themselves and their yoga experience. You cannot be present to yoga if you are texting or emailing or anxiously awaiting a call. And neither can anyone around you. Definitely, if one phone is out, many pairs of eyes are drawn to it. And then other phones start to appear. Forget the fact that you’re missing the class you paid for; you’re at risk of losing your balance and hurting yourself or someone else due to inattention, or disturbing someone else’s moment of peace and stillness with the clicking of your keys.
So please, do yourself and everyone around you, this teacher included, a favor and turn your phone off and put it away before you unroll your yoga mat. If you truly are on call, think hard before you come to class.
Be present for yourself, wherever you need to be.
4. How does the author introduce her topic?
A By giving examples. B. By making comparison.
C. By presenting the process. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
5. Why was the young woman angry with the author?
A. She felt the author was rude. B. She thought she was reasonable.
C. She believed she was discriminated. D. She found the yoga class was not interesting.
6. Which is a probable result of using phone s in yoga class?
A. Relaxing yourself. B. Disturbing others.
C Achieving work-life balance. D. Getting others’ admiration.
7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A. To explain her relationship with students.
B. To describe the situation of her yoga class.
C. To show her opinion about using mobile phones.
D. To stress the importance of being attentive in yoga class.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。主要通过一位女性拒绝瑜伽课关闭手机的事情介绍话题present,强调了瑜伽课上专心的重要性,不受手机影响,抓住正在发生的当前。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文中第一段“When I teach yoga (瑜伽), I usually announce “Phones off and at the back of the room” at the beginning of class. Recently, I forgot and had to whisper to a student texting during class to turn off her phone…(当我教瑜伽时,我通常会在上课开始时宣布“在教室后部放下电话”。最近,我忘记了,不得不在上课时向学生发短信以关闭手机。她看上去很不高兴,但确实如此。但是两天后,在另一堂课上,我遭到了一位完全拒绝的年轻女子的抵制)”可知,作者开篇通过一件具体的事件来呈现话题,即举例子。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“But two days later, in another class, I met with resistance from a young woman who completely refused.(但两天后,在另一节课上,我遇到了一位年轻女士的抵制,她完全拒绝了)”以及第二段“But I’m on call. I might have to jump up and run out of class.(我在打电话,而且我必须跳起来跑出教室了)”可知,作者强调在瑜伽课上关闭手机被这位女性拒绝,她回答自己在打电话。可推知这位女性认为自己的行为没有什么不对的,即她认为自己的做法是合理的。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Definitely, if one phone is out, many pairs of eyes are drawn to it. And then other phones start to appear. Forget the fact that you’re missing the class you paid for; you’re at risk of losing your balance and hurting yourself or someone else due to inattention, or disturbing someone else’s moment of peace and stillness with the clicking of your keys.(当然,如果一部手机出现了,就会吸引很多双眼睛。然后其他手机开始出现。忘记你错过了你付了钱的课程;你有失去平衡的危险,因为不注意而伤害到自己或别人,或者用你的钥匙打扰了别人的平静和宁静)”可知,在瑜伽课上使用手机可能会打扰他人。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。文章开篇由一个具体的例子讲述瑜伽课不允许使用手机引出话题。第五段“Present is what I’m asking my students to be. Present to themselves and their yoga experience.(现在是我要我的学生做的。专注于他们自己和他们的瑜伽体验)”具体阐释了什么是present以及为什么要关闭手机。第六段“do yourself and everyone around you, this teacher included, a favor and turn your phone off and put it away before you unroll your yoga mat.(请您和您周围的所有人(包括这位老师在内)帮个忙,在您打开瑜伽垫之前,请关闭手机并放好)”推知,作者的目的是强调在瑜伽课上专心,不受手机的影响。故选D项。
C
It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ”
The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context.
Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. .
Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.
Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.
8. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate?
A. The inconsistence between words and meaning. B. The importance of remembering vital moments.
C. The necessity of straightforward communication. D. The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life.
9. What may make human language different from true codes?
A. The context included in understanding meanings.
B. The definitions made by words in communication.
C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver.
D. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning.
10. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony?
A. It simplifies language to save time. B. It covers the true feelings of people.
C It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings.
11. What does the author suggest in communication?
A. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally.
C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人类语言交流特点及反语在交流中的作用。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related?(她说她不介意我忘记她的生日!那她为什么在厨房里摔盘子呢?这两件事有关系吗?)”以及第二段“Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word.(交流不仅仅是言语。还包括这些话是怎么说的,语气,顺序,甚至是某个特定单词的选择)”可推知,第一段的抱怨主要表明了言语和意思之间的不一致。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken.(人类语言不是一种编码。真正的编码与意义有着一一对应的关系。一种声音,一种定义。这就是我们在动物身上看到的情况。威尔逊和斯珀伯解释说:“当发出者和接收者拥有完全相同的编码时,编码交流效果最佳。”人类则不是这样。我们交流的内容比我们所说的单词的定义要多。这是一种推理交流,这意味着我们不仅理解所说的单词,而且理解它们所使用的语境)”可知,理解意义时所包含的语境使人类语言不同于真正的编码。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.(反语是一个很好的例子,说明我们如何用几个简单的词来有力地传达语境。它不仅仅是陈述相反的意思。例如,当玛丽在一个无聊的聚会后说“那很有趣”时,她既不是说聚会真的很有趣,也不是“讽刺地”说聚会很无聊。相反,她在表达一种情感。三个字代替了段落,展示了语言的效率)”可知,玛丽的陈述“那很有趣”用更少的词表达了复杂的意思,从而说明了反语的特点。故选 D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.(威尔逊和斯珀伯得出结论,人类语言之所以发展并变得如此强大,是因为人类有两种独特的能力:语言能力和试图解读他人心理状态的能力。我们为听到的单词寻找语境。我们应该非常善于吸收这种语境来推断意义)” 可推知,作者认为在交流中应该理解话语背后的意思,也就是不仅仅局限于字面意思。故选C。
D
Imagine waking up one morning to find your smartphone missing. You can no longer get guided to work, order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare(噩梦). But it should not be exactly far-fetched.
Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious. Anxiety rates increased by 25% globally. Depression now affects over 280 million people worldwide. All of this is due to our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored.
While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills. For example, GPS has undeniably transformed how we travel. But a 2020 study found that frequent GPS users struggle more with self-guided navigation. Over time, those who depended more on GPS showed a sharp decline in spacial memory and problem-solving skills. However, reducing dependence on these conveniences can lead to discomfort. In seeking comfort today, we might be trading away some discomfort.
That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us. Viewing stress, a kind of discomfort, as a challenge rather than a threat leads to better outcomes. Research shows that mild stress can enhance adaptability. Neuroscience(神经科学) reveals that neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to form new connections—is enhanced through challenging experiences. This adaptability is crucial for developing resilience, (抗逆力), a process fueled by both mental challenges and active effort.
But this doesn't mean we should reject comfort entirely; it's to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of it as “microdosing hardship”—a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand. These small acts are enough to reawaken the resilience we've buried under layers of ease. So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause. Ask yourself: Is this momentary comfort helping me grow or is it keeping me stuck? Choosing discomfort isn't easy, but sometimes, it's worth it.
12. What does the underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Possible to change. B. Certain to function.
C. Unlikely to be settled. D. Unable to be accepted.
13. What may digital conveniences cause according to the text?
A. The fast but worthless relief. B. The meaningful engagement.
C. The loss of thinking capacity. D. The lack of necessary comfort.
14. Which is a real-life application of “microdosing hardship”?
A. Taking the stairs instead of the lift. B. Ordering take-out food after work.
C. Exploring a new city by using GPS. D. Writing an email using voice-to-text.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. GPS: the invisible cost of convenience B. Stress: the main cause of brain damage
C. Discomfort: a hidden source of resilience D. Smartphones: barriers to human progress
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了现代社会中人们对数字技术的过度依赖及其带来的负面影响,强调了适度不适的重要性,并提出了通过“微量困难”(microdosing hardship)来增强个人适应力和韧性。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Imagine waking up one morning to find your smartphone missing. You can no longer get guided to work, order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare(噩梦). But it should not be exactly far-fetched.(想象一下,有一天早上醒来,发现你的智能手机不见了。你再也不能用它导航去上班,点咖啡,或者和朋友联系了。对我们大多数人来说,这是一场噩梦。但这并不_____)”可知,这里的语境是假设智能手机突然消失的情景虽然令人不安,但它不应该是不能被接受的。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“All of this is due to our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored. While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills.(这一切都是因为我们越来越依赖社交媒体和智能技术,这些技术旨在提供快速的解脱,但往往以牺牲深刻而有意义的参与为代价,这可能会进一步导致我们失去一些容易被忽视的东西。虽然这些便利提供了短期的解脱,但它们可能会削弱我们的思维能力)”可知,数字便利可能导致思考能力的下降。故选C。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Think of it as “microdosing hardship”—a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand.(把它想象成“微量困难”——一系列小的、可以管理的困难,这些困难能让我们的心理和情绪肌肉保持强壮,比如用笔写字,或者用手洗碗)”可知,采取“微量困难”的实际行动是做一些小的、可以管理的困难的事情,A选项“爬楼梯而不是乘电梯”符合“微量困难”的含义。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段中“Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious.(尽管我们比以往任何时候都更加数字化地联系在一起,但我们却更加孤独和焦虑)”、第三段中“While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills.(虽然这些便利提供了短期的解脱,但它们可能会削弱我们的思维能力)”以及第四段中“That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us.(这就是问题所在:我们避免的不适往往正是让我们变得坚强的东西)”可知,文章主要讲述了现代生活中人们过于依赖智能手机和各种智能技术,造成了一些不良后果,如焦虑、抑郁、思维能力下降等。作者认为,我们应该适当减少对这些便利的依赖,通过面对一些“微小的不便”来增强自己的抗逆力,C选项“不适感:韧性的隐藏来源”最符合文章主旨。故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One of my teachers once asked my class what our favourite memory was. She was asking for the moment in which “you felt the best, you felt that you had the world in the palm of your hand. ” Some described grand awards; others described winning a tournament. But I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmate’s stares and snickering, because I knew there was more to the story.
My brother and I shared a typical brotherly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. Or, to be honest, he couldn’t stand me. I hero-worshipped him. My clothes mysteriously looked like his, and even my words tended to mimic those I heard from him. Many times, I even wanted to literally follow my brother, sobbing every time I was prevented from hanging around with him. Needless to say, I was an annoyance to him. Any sort of conversation we had usually degraded to fighting, and try as I might, my brother usually won.
After a while, I stopped trying to impress him and learned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern—I avoided him, he ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. Indifferent or hostile, he was only a brother in name. So that’s how it was between us. I believed we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received it that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom was too busy and had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me. I decided to teach myself to ride, a little bit each day, but in vain. On that fateful day, it was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture, and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside. I turned my face away, fearing he would tease me. Unexpectedly, he gently picked my bike up and gestured me over, “Get on it.” His determined look smoothed away my doubts. As he gripped the back seat, I got on the bike, took a deep breath and started to pedal, holding tightly onto the handlebars. During the whole process, we didn’t talk much. He simply offered a few necessary instructions at times. But never once did he shout at me, nor did he let me fall. His patient teaching proved efficient and I gradually got the hang of riding.
An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom. She was amazed to see me riding steadily around the yard. While sharing my learning experience with her in excitement, I noticed my brother standing at a distance smiling at me. I cast him a grateful look and he nodded and then walked back into the house. From that day on, the sad pattern between us began to change. There were occasional conversations between us, filled with less embarrassment but increasing concern. I could feel a different kind of brotherly relationship slowly developing between us. I would always treasure that day as my favourite memory, the moment when I felt the best.

Set Boundaries, Find Peace
By Nedra Glover Tawwab
Description
The instant New York Times bestseller.
End the struggle, speak up for what you need, and experience the freedom of being truly yourself.
Healthy boundaries. We all know we should have them in order to achieve work&life balance, deal with negative people, and enjoy rewarding relationships with partners, friends, and family. But what do “healthy boundaries” really mean — and how can we successfully express our needs, say “no,” and be decisive without offending others?
Licensed consultant, sought-after relationship expert, and one of the most influential therapists on Instagram, Nedra Glover Tawwab clarifies this complex topic for today’s world. In a relatable and inclusive tone, Set Boundaries, Find Peace presents simple-yet-powerful ways to set healthy boundaries in all aspects of life. Rooted in the latest research and best practices used in cognitive (认知的) behavioral therapy (CBT), these techniques help us identify and express our needs clearly and without apology — and uncover a root problem behind codependency, power struggles, anxiety, depression, burnout, and more.

When I teach yoga, I usually announce “Phones off and at the back of the room” at the beginning of class. Recently, I forgot and had to whisper to a student texting during class to turn off her phone. She looked displeased but did so. But two days later, in another class, I met with resistance from a young woman who completely refused.
“But I’m on call. I might have to jump up and run out of class.”
“Then maybe this isn’t the best place for you to be tonight.”
That response got me an angry and unfriendly look. But when she came back the next week, there was no phone and she was much more present.
Present is what I’m asking my students to be. Present to themselves and their yoga experience. You cannot be present to yoga if you are texting or emailing or anxiously awaiting a call. And neither can anyone around you. Definitely, if one phone is out, many pairs of eyes are drawn to it. And then other phones start to appear. Forget the fact that you’re missing the class you paid for; you’re at risk of losing your balance and hurting yourself or someone else due to inattention, or disturbing someone else’s moment of peace and stillness with the clicking of your keys.
So please, do yourself and everyone around you, this teacher included, a favor and turn your phone off and put it away before you unroll your yoga mat. If you truly are on call, think hard before you come to class.
Be present for yourself, wherever you need to be.
4. How does the author introduce her topic?
A. By giving examples. B. By making comparison.
C. By presenting the process. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
5. Why was the young woman angry with the author?
A. She felt the author was rude. B. She thought she was reasonable.
C She believed she was discriminated. D. She found the yoga class was not interesting.
6. Which is a probable result of using phone s in yoga class?
A. Relaxing yourself. B. Disturbing others.
C. Achieving work-life balance. D. Getting others’ admiration.
7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A. To explain her relationship with students.
B. To describe the situation of her yoga class.
C To show her opinion about using mobile phones.
D. To stress the importance of being attentive in yoga class.
C
It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ”
The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context.
Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. .
Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.
Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.
8. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate?
A. The inconsistence between words and meaning. B. The importance of remembering vital moments.
C. The necessity of straightforward communication. D. The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life.
9. What may make human language different from true codes?
A. The context included in understanding meanings.
B. The definitions made by words in communication.
C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver.
D. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning.
10. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony?
A. It simplifies language to save time. B. It covers the true feelings of people.
C. It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings.
11. What does the author suggest in communication?
A. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally.
C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones.
D
Imagine waking up one morning to find your smartphone missing. You can no longer get guided to work, order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare(噩梦). But it should not be exactly far-fetched.
Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious. Anxiety rates increased by 25% globally. Depression now affects over 280 million people worldwide. All of this is due to our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored.
While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills. For example, GPS has undeniably transformed how we travel. But a 2020 study found that frequent GPS users struggle more with self-guided navigation. Over time, those who depended more on GPS showed a sharp decline in spacial memory and problem-solving skills. However, reducing dependence on these conveniences can lead to discomfort. In seeking comfort today, we might be trading away some discomfort.
That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us. Viewing stress, a kind of discomfort, as a challenge rather than a threat leads to better outcomes. Research shows that mild stress can enhance adaptability. Neuroscience(神经科学) reveals that neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to form new connections—is enhanced through challenging experiences. This adaptability is crucial for developing resilience, (抗逆力), a process fueled by both mental challenges and active effort.
But this doesn't mean we should reject comfort entirely; it's to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of it as “microdosing hardship”—a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand. These small acts are enough to reawaken the resilience we've buried under layers of ease. So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause. Ask yourself: Is this momentary comfort helping me grow or is it keeping me stuck? Choosing discomfort isn't easy, but sometimes, it's worth it.
12. What does the underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Possible to change. B. Certain to function.
C. Unlikely to be settled. D. Unable to be accepted.
13. What may digital conveniences cause according to the text?
A. The fast but worthless relief. B. The meaningful engagement.
C. The loss of thinking capacity. D. The lack of necessary comfort.
14. Which is a real-life application of “microdosing hardship”?
A. Taking the stairs instead of the lift. B. Ordering take-out food after work.
C. Exploring a new city by using GPS. D. Writing an email using voice-to-text.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. GPS: the invisible cost of convenience B. Stress: the main cause of brain damage
C. Discomfort: a hidden source of resilience D. Smartphones: barriers to human progress

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One of my teachers once asked my class what our favourite memory was. She was asking for the moment in which “you felt the best, you felt that you had the world in the palm of your hand. ” Some described grand awards; others described winning a tournament. But I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmate’s stares and snickering, because I knew there was more to the story.
My brother and I shared a typical brotherly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. Or, to be honest, he couldn’t stand me. I hero-worshipped him. My clothes mysteriously looked like his, and even my words tended to mimic those I heard from him. Many times, I even wanted to literally follow my brother, sobbing every time I was prevented from hanging around with him. Needless to say, I was an annoyance to him. Any sort of conversation we had usually degraded to fighting, and try as I might, my brother usually won.
After a while, I stopped trying to impress him and learned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern—I avoided him, he ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. Indifferent or hostile, he was only a brother in name. So that’s how it was between us. I believed we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received it that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom was too busy and had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me. I decided to teach myself to ride, a little bit each day, but in vain. On that fateful day, it was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture, and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside.

An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom.
