As a literature teacher, I deeply believe literature makes us more empathetic (同理心的), as reading literature gives us practice understanding how others feel and taking on their points of view.
How do books pull off their magic trick of transporting us into another person’s mind? Taking a look at the brain — specifically, the multiple regions which relate to reading — gives us a clue.
In a study, literature students read Jane Austen’s novels inside an fMRI machine, rather than sitting on chairs. The researcher, Natalie Phillips, originally believed that the blood flow in the brain areas responsible for language processing would increase during reading. However, unexpectedly, the students experienced a comprehensive increase in blood flow, including areas unrelated to language processing.
For example, when reading a passage about traveling through a forest, the left temporal lobe area responsible for language processing would become active, but the motor cortex (运动皮层) would also light up, as if they were actually running. This kind of activity does not occur in fact-based non-fiction literature, such as political news or movie reviews.
Does greater brain connectivity have practical uses? In another study, half of the participants read a 3,000-word piece from Saffron Dreams, a novel from the point of view of a Muslim-American woman, and the other half read a 500-word summary of the piece. The summary contained all the facts but none of the character’s rich inner life or sensory details that make a book come alive. Afterwards, participants were shown photos of “Arab or Caucasian (白种人) faces”, some of which appeared angry. Those who read the summary often identified angry faces as Arab, a bias (偏见) not seen in those who read the piece from the novel.
These findings make me think of students who are struggling over whether to choose to be an English major because they want to be successful. If by “success”, they mean the highest average salary, perhaps I should lead them from the English building towards the Business Administration building. But if success means helping to create a more harmonious world, pull up a chair.
So don’t read because it’s good for you. Read because it’s good. Go lose yourself in a book. And, while you’re at it, find the rest of us, too.
32. What did Natalie Phillips find unexpected in her study?
A. Changes in the frontal lobe’s motor cortex.
B. Changes in blood flow that took place in an fMRI.
C. An increase of blood flow to the left temporal lobe.
D. Increases of blood flow to multiple parts of the brain.
33. Why does the author talk about running through a forest?
A. To give an explanation of brain activity in running.
B. To draw a conclusion about how blood flow works.
C. To make a comparison between reading and running.
D. To give an example of how the brain works in reading.
34. What do we know about the 500-word summary?
A. It was non-fiction. B. It was literary fiction.
C. It was a book review. D. It was a guide to reading.
35. What does the last paragraph highlight?
A. Sharing beauty in good books.
B. Sharing good books with others.
C. Sharing others’ views and emotions.
D. Sharing your emotions with others.

The mental pain of failure can stimulate you to become better at the activity in which you lack proficiency-if you can consider the unpleasant experience as an indicator of personal growth. This is what researchers found when they conducted a field experiment at an improvisation (即兴表演) club. One group of amateur improvisers was instructed to actively seek the feeling of awkwardness. The scholars found that, compared with improvisers who were not given this instruction, the first group was more engaged in the exercise. Instead of seeing the discomfort as something to avoid, they saw it as central to the process and leaned into it.
This has effects on how to improve ordinary life. You can put failure to good use in many other areas of life. If you’re a student, take a class far outside your area of skills and interests, knowing that the struggle to cope with a very novel challenge may improve studying what you do like. Enjoy the difficulty of it and analyze the mistakes you make—and you will almost certainly find that you're doing even better at your preferred subject.
Employers can apply these principles as well. I like the “75/25 rule,” according to which employees spend three-quarters of their time on their assigned task and one quarter helping others outside their area. The short-term cost of this is friction as people struggle with novelty and difficulty-and bosses should take care not to make this worse by being punitive or overly critical. But I have seen the long-term benefit of better motivation in the core assignment, as well as a better flow of information and distribution of new skills across different activities within an enterprise.
The embrace-failure principle can even be applied to happiness itself. None of us wants to be unhappy. But inviting sources of unhappiness into life can be extremely beneficial. Resolve not to be afraid of fear, anger, or sadness. They are normal and natural parts of life, after all. And if you let them, they will help you savor (享受) the joys of life all the more.
8. What did the experiment at the improvisation club find?
A. Avoiding awkwardness improved improvisers’ creativity.
B. Actively embracing awkwardness increased engagement.
C. Professional improvisers performed better than amateurs.
D. Discomfort negatively impacted participants’ motivation.
9. Why does the author advise students to take unfamiliar classes?
A. To reduce their academic pressure.
B. To increase their studying interests.
C. To avoid errors in their preferred field.
D. To indirectly strengthen their major subjects.
10. What is the long-term effect of the “75/25 rule”?
A. Employees are more motivated and multi-skilled.
B. Competitions among colleagues get more intense.
C. New and difficult assignments become effortless.
D. Conflicts in workplace disappear completely.
11. Which is the best title of the text?
A. The Different Ways to Avoid Failure.
B. The Advice on How to Seek Happiness.
C. The Benefits of Doing Things You’re Bad at.
D. The Reasons Why You’re in Negative Moods.

D
The word paradigm comes from the Greek. It was originally a scientific term, and is more commonly used today to mean a model or theory. In the more general sense, it’s the way we “see” the world — not in terms of our visual sense of sight, but in terms of perceiving, understanding, and interpreting.
A simple way to understand paradigms is to see them as maps. We all know that “the map is not the territory.” A map is simply an explanation of certain aspects of the territory. That’s exactly what a paradigm is. It is a theory, an explanation, or model of something else. You can never arrive at a specific location in a new city with a wrong map.
Each of us has many maps in our head, which can be divided into two main categories: maps of the way things are, or realities, and maps of the way things should be, or values. We interpret everything we experience through these mental maps. We seldom question their accuracy; we’re usually even unaware that we have them. We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of those assumptions. The way we see things is the source of the way we think and the way we act.
We see the world, not as it is, but as we are or, as we are conditioned to see it. Clearheaded people see things differently, each looking through the unique lens of experience. But this does not mean that there are no facts. Instead, each person’s interpretation of these facts represents prior experiences.
The more aware we are of our basic paradigms, maps, or assumptions, and the extent to which we have been influenced by our experience, the more we can take responsibility for those paradigms, examine them, test them against reality, listen to others and be open to their perceptions, thereby getting a larger picture and a far more objective view.
21. How does the author illustrate the concept of “paradigm”?
A.By comparing it to an everyday object. B.By sorting it into different categories.
C. By presenting personal examples. D.By highlighting a sharp contrast.
22. What can be concluded about the mental maps mentioned in paragraph 3?
A.They fail to escape our attention. B.They may be lacking in accuracy.
C. They prove wrong and unreliable. D.They have little influence on behavior.
23. Which of the following echoes the main idea of paragraph 4?
A.Great minds think alike.
B.All men have opinions, but few think.
C.Where we stand depends on where we sit.
D. The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinions.
24. What does the author advocate in the last paragraph?
A.A better understanding of our paradigms.
B.A stronger sense of responsibility for others.
C.A more objective view of others’ perceptions.
D.A more positive attitude toward life experience.

I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity.
It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy. I would argue that you could work six hours on a task that gives you energy and feel fresh and ready for what’s next. Or, you could spend three hours on a tiring and unfulfilling task and need to check out for the rest of the day.
I’m a fan of making lists and getting things crossed off the list. But maturity has taught me that satisfaction comes not from crossing things off the list, but intentionality about what goes on the list. If everything on the list is an energy waste, how will it feel to get those things done?
Russ Hudson, a teacher, said something recently that blew the doors open for me on this concept. He spoke about the energy of frustration (懊恼), but it could be applied to any negative emotion. He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, “Life force gets trapped in frustration.” So that extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping life force energy that might go to more useful, productive, creative pursuits.
In a world that often focuses on getting the most out of every hour, it’s about time we should change our focus. We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day, and learn how to create, use, and save it. It’s not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices.
24. Why is the author’s friend mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To lead in the topic.
B. To clarify a definition.
C. To present a common phenomenon.
D. To share a personal experience.
25. What is the author’s core argument about productivity?
A. Completing tasks quickly guarantees satisfaction.
B. Making task lists lays the foundation for achievements.
C. Energy management matters more than time management.
D. Strict time management systems are essential for success.
26. According to Russ Hudson, why is frustration problematic?
A. It wastes time that could be used for work.
B. It makes people ignorant of their limitations.
C. It leaves people trapped in their comfort zone.
D. It stops people pursuing something meaningful in life.
27. What might be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. Ways to reduce negative emotions in work.
B. The relationship between energy and creativity.
C. The disadvantages of focusing on time management.
D. Examples of managing energy through awareness and choices.

【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。主要讨论了失败的心理痛苦如何能够激励个人在缺乏熟练度的活动中变得更好,并提出了如何应用这一原则来改善日常生活、工作场所乃至追求幸福。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The mental pain of failure can stimulate you to become better at the activity in which you lack proficiency-if you can consider the unpleasant experience as an indicator of personal growth. This is what researchers found when they conducted a field experiment at an improvisation (即兴表演) club. One group of amateur improvisers was instructed to actively seek the feeling of awkwardness. The scholars found that, compared with improvisers who were not given this instruction, the first group was more engaged in the exercise. Instead of seeing the discomfort as something to avoid, they saw it as central to the process and leaned into it.(如果你能把不愉快的经历视为个人成长的一个指标,那么失败带来的精神痛苦可以刺激你在你不熟练的活动中变得更好。这是研究人员在一个即兴表演俱乐部进行现场实验时发现的。一组业余即兴表演者被要求积极寻找尴尬的感觉。学者们发现,与没有得到这种指导的即兴表演者相比,第一组人更投入到练习中。他们没有把不舒服看作是要避免的事情,而是把它看作是过程的核心,并倾向于它)”可知,即兴表演俱乐部的实验发现了积极地接受尴尬会增加参与度。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“If you’re a student, take a class far outside your area of skills and interests, knowing that the struggle to cope with a very novel challenge may improve studying what you do like. Enjoy the difficulty of it and analyze the mistakes you make—and you will almost certainly find that you're doing even better at your preferred subject.(如果你是一名学生,参加一门与你的技能和兴趣领域相去甚远的课程,要知道努力应对一个非常新奇的挑战可能会促进你学习自己喜欢的东西。享受它的难度,分析你犯的错误——你几乎肯定会发现你在你喜欢的科目上做得更好)”可知,作者建议学生选修不熟悉的课程,因为可以间接加强他们的主要科目。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I like the “75/25 rule,” according to which employees spend three-quarters of their time on their assigned task and one quarter helping others outside their area. The short-term cost of this is friction as people struggle with novelty and difficulty-and bosses should take care not to make this worse by being punitive or overly critical. But I have seen the long-term benefit of better motivation in the core assignment, as well as a better flow of information and distribution of new skills across different activities within an enterprise.(我喜欢“75/25规则”,根据该规则,员工将四分之三的时间花在分配给他们的任务上,四分之一的时间用来帮助他们领域之外的其他人。这样做的短期成本是摩擦,因为人们在与新鲜事物和困难作斗争——老板们应该小心,不要因为惩罚或过度批评而使情况变得更糟。但是,我已经看到了在核心任务中更好的激励,以及在企业内不同活动中更好的信息流和新技能分配的长期好处)”可知,“75/25规则”的长期影响是员工更有动力,技能也更丰富。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The embrace-failure principle can even be applied to happiness itself. None of us wants to be unhappy. But inviting sources of unhappiness into life can be extremely beneficial. Resolve not to be afraid of fear, anger, or sadness. They are normal and natural parts of life, after all. And if you let them, they will help you savor (享受) the joys of life all the more.(拥抱失败的原则甚至可以应用于幸福本身。没有人想要不快乐。但是把不快乐的来源引入生活是非常有益的。下定决心不要害怕恐惧、愤怒或悲伤。毕竟,它们是生活中正常而自然的一部分。如果你让他们这样做,他们会帮助你更好地享受生活的乐趣)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了失败的心理痛苦如何能够激励个人在缺乏熟练度的活动中变得更好,所以C项“做你不擅长的事情的好处”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。

I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity.
It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy.

Or, you could spend three hours on a tiring and unfulfilling task and need to check out for the rest of the day.

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章由朋友咨询时间管理技巧引出话题,论述了精力管理比时间管理更重要,并强调要关注和合理管理精力。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity.(我最近和一位被工作压得喘不过气来的朋友聊了聊。她问我关于时间管理有什么建议。这个问题让我很惊讶。我从来没觉得自己是个有出色时间管理能力的人,主要是因为我倾向于避免严格的效率体系,认为它们会限制创造力)”可知,作者先提及朋友咨询时间管理技巧,随后引出自己对精力管理的看法,所以提及朋友是为了引出文章主题。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy.(直到我们分开我才意识到。我不关注时间管理,而是关注精力管理。在某个时候,我了解到做一件事所花费的时间相对于精力来说是次要的)”可知,作者认为精力管理比时间管理更重要。故选C项。
