“Your order is on its way!” Is there any notification that brings more joy than this? But there could be more behind your motivations for hitting “buy now”. A survey found over a quarter of respondents reported “doom spending” — splashing cash on unnecessary purchases despite economic concerns to cope with stress.
Doom spending can put you at risk of financial stress, cause tension in relationships, evoke feelings of shame, and drain your bank balance of funds that could be spent otherwise. But why is it so hard to resist the urge to spend?
The reason we feel happy and satisfied when swiping our credit cards is the dopamine rush it offers. Interestingly, the dopamine doesn’t turn up in the acquisition of something. It occurs in the impulse or the motivation to go forth and hunt. In other words, it’s the try-on of the perfect shoes or the test drive of the new car rather than the actual buying. So when feeling the urge to buy, pause, note the item and wait at least 24 hours before acting, allowing time for dopamine’s effect to flow through the body. You may find that after the effect wears off, you don’t have the urge to buy.
For some people, shopping serves as a coping mechanism — a way to find comfort and build self-esteem or self-confidence. They often turn to that product again and again, hoping it will make them feel a little bit better. However, this inability to properly self-soothe can result in a “treat yourself” mentality after a bad day. If you feel the need for a treat or some self-care, put your credit card away and reach for something more wholesome and long-lasting like meditation, spending time in nature, or connecting with friends. These alternatives not only provide longer-lasting benefits but also help fill your emotional well-being.
But being mindful with money doesn’t have to mean avoiding spending on little things that bring you joy. Little splurges and “treat yourself” moments can be a great way to bring happiness if they are controlled. Having allocated funds for “splurge” purchases, and keeping a list on how much to spend from these can create a more mindful approach to spending, rather than one that’s impulsive and stress-motivated.

If you listen to some self-improvement lectures about success, you’ll hear a familiar saying: Hustle (忙碌) harder. It sounds like success is just a matter of willpower and that the life of your dreams is within reach. Many young people are buying into this mindset, spending every waking hour working toward ambitious goals, only to find themselves worn out and unfulfilled.
Hustle culture promises success, but it often leads to burnout and disappointment. The truth is that success and fulfillment don’t come from constant struggle. They come from something deeper and more sustainable: persistence (坚持).
Hustle culture praises big goals. But what the experts won’t tell you is that most of those goals require a mix of timing, luck, and sometimes even genetics. No matter how hard you hustle, success isn’t always within your control. Persistence culture, on the other hand, takes a different approach. Instead of focusing on massive, high-risk goals, it emphasizes consistent effort over time. It encourages growth, learning, and steady improvement—factors that are within your control.
Hustle culture focuses on goals, ignoring the process. It tells you to chase success at all costs, even if that means doing things you hate along the way. For example, you love podcasting (制作播客). You enjoy the connection with your audience. But if you follow hustle culture, your focus shifts to profit, audience growth, and social media engagement. To “succeed,” you have to learn marketing strategies that you don’t actually enjoy.
Persistence culture, in contrast, prioritizes the process itself. It asks: Do you enjoy what you’re doing? When you love the process, you don’t need external approval to keep going. Success becomes a byproduct of consistency and passion. Instead of measuring success by external factors, it asks: How can I improve? Maybe your podcast isn’t getting millions of downloads, but are you becoming a better interviewer?
Are you developing new skills? These are the measures that matter because they’re within your control.
40. How do many young people feel after following the “hustle harder” mindset?

I started running competitively almost as soon as I could walk. I was three years old when I joined in my first official race. My mom and both of my brothers were runners, so the sport was built into my life from the beginning. When I was young, I enjoyed the freedom, joy, and sense of power running gave me. This pure, concentrated love of the sport gave me wings that carried me through even the toughest practices and races.
However, as I got older, pressure began to build up. I was winning, but I lost sight of my real purpose as a runner: to have fun. I even began to fear hard workouts, knowing I would be disappointed if I didn’t achieve my goals. Before the final season in my high school career, I trained so hard that I got exhausted and hurt my calf. Rather than pausing for treatment and recovery, I chose to get to the line. But at last, I had to step off the track because the pain was simply unbearable.
Recovery was tough. When I was finally able to run again, I was out of shape and couldn’t keep up with my team. Over the next three years, more injuries followed. But later, a famous long-distance runner Cathy’s post changed everything for me. “Every day, I make the choice to show up and see what I’ve got, and to try and be better. My advice: Keep showing up.” With just a few words, she reminded me how simple running really is. I realized I didn’t have to be perfect every day. I just had to show up and give what I had.
Now, I still run every day and have completed four marathons. Joy and gratitude are the center of my practice. Thanks to Cathy, I can always return to the calming belief that things will go my way if I just keep showing up.
40. What did running bring to the author when she was young?

Good news for procrastinators (拖延者): There is a way to use procrastination to your advantage. Most procrastinators make the mistake of doing nothing at all. But when you use procrastination as motivation to get things done, you can avoid doing that one thing you really would rather not do and be quite productive. It’s what essayist John Perry calls “structured procrastination”.
Let’s say, for example, you have a number of tasks you are avoiding, in order of urgency:1) Finishing an essay; 2) Responding to emails; 3) Cleaning and doing laundry. A non-procrastinator would accomplish these tasks in order of urgency. A procrastinator would avoid doing them altogether. But a structured procrastinator would do them in reverse (反向) — using his desire to avoid writing the essay as motivation to do cleaning and respond to emails. Since he can reprogram by working on other things that are still valuable, he is actually getting a lot done.
College senior Jordan Gonen is what you might call a structured procrastinator. When he is overcome with fear of homework, he’ll preoccupy himself with what he calls “quick wins”—sending emails and writing articles for his blog. “It’s still procrastinating my homework, but instead of doing nothing in the meantime, I’m still getting a lot done,” Gonen says.
Once he gets through these tasks, Gonen can more easily get into the mindset of tackling his homework. “A lot of these smaller tasks aren’t particularly fun or productive, but if you can really knock them out really quickly over a certain period of time, then you can get a lot more done and it doesn’t feel necessarily worse — you’ re just working 100 percent on whatever you’ re working on,” Gonen says.

“You Only Live Once” (YOLO), a concept made popular in contemporary society through social media, conveys the desire to make the most of the present situation and cast aside all worries about the future. This mindset is considered to be the characteristic of today’s youth. However, do young people truly embody the YOLO mentality, or are they too concerned about planning their future to enjoy the present?
Some young people do tend to be overly absorbed in future planning and miss out on the present, largely influenced by societal attitudes advocating the merits of working towards a life plan and future goal. In Asian societies, young people plan their futures carefully to ensure financial security for the latter half of their lives. This often means getting good education and jobs. So, many take extra classes, losing free time and hobbies. Their excessive (过度的) focus on academics, which neglects their personal nature, brings mental stress and stops them from following their passions.
Another factor driving young people to excessively plan for the future is the increasing number of world challenges. Natural disasters, conflicts, wars, and pandemics are increasing, making the job market unstable. Young people are now more pressured to consider their future in this changing world. As a result, they don’t enjoy their youth as they should. Research conducted by University College London shows over half of 16-25-year-olds are worried about their future, with 53% believing job prospects are worsening.
Nevertheless, it’s encouraging to see that more young people are stepping off the beaten path and embracing the YOLO philosophy. The future is uncertain, and it’s natural for young people to feel anxious. However, living in the moment and enjoying each experience is crucial. After all, isn’t life more about the journey than the destination?
40. What mindset does YOLO convey?

41. What are the two main factors that cause some young people to focus more on future planning?

In order to find their passions in life, young people in Asia plan their futures carefully.

In today’s fast-paced, achievement-oriented society, productivity is often associated with time management. We often think that to be productive, we need to master time-management techniques. But have you ever noticed that when you’re emotionally worn out, you struggle to stay organized or motivated? Or when you’re overwhelmed, tasks like answering emails or doing laundry pile up?
Unresolved emotions, such as fears of disappointing others or missing out on opportunities, often drive people to over-commit. Even with a well-organized calendar, you may find yourself squeezing in extra tasks, only to feel overwhelmed and rushed, which can lead to anxiety or even depression. The problem is not your time-management skills, but emotional overload.
True productivity isn’t about doing more in less time; it’s about managing your energy, emotions, and well-being over the long term. Research shows that employees who practice emotional regulation experience 20-30% higher productivity than those who rely only on time management.
The good news is that emotional management isn’t about grand gestures — it grows in small, intentional shifts. Start by pausing before agreeing to new commitments. When someone asks you to take on an additional task, don’t immediately agree. Ask for some time to consider it and review your other obligations. Besides, separate your work outcomes from your self-worth. By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth-oriented one, you will focus on learning rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes.
To get out of a seemingly cruel cycle, it takes patience and sensibility within yourself. Change is hard, but every step, no matter how small, is a step toward reclaiming your well-being.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要对比了“忙碌文化”和“坚持文化”对成功的影响。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章第一段中“Many young people are buying into this mindset, spending every waking hour working toward ambitious goals, only to find themselves worn out and unfulfilled. (许多年轻人接受了这种心态,把醒着的每一个小时都花在朝着雄心勃勃的目标努力上,结果却发现自己疲惫不堪、毫无成就感。)”可知,许多年轻人在遵循“更努力地忙碌”的心态后,感觉疲惫不堪且毫无成就感。故答案为:They feel worn out and unfulfilled.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“The truth is that success and fulfillment don’t come from constant struggle. They come from something deeper and more sustainable: persistence (坚持). (事实是,成功和成就感并非来自持续的挣扎。它们来自更深层次、更可持续的东西:坚持。)”可知,成功和成就感来自更深层次、更可持续的东西——坚持。故答案为:They come from something deeper and more sustainable: persistence.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章第四段中“Hustle culture focuses on goals, ignoring the process. (忙碌文化关注目标,忽视过程。)”以及第五段中“Persistence culture, in contrast, prioritizes the process itself. (相比之下,坚持文化将过程本身置于首位。)”可知,“Hustle culture focuses on massive, high-risk goals, measures success by external factors and prioritizes the process.”这句话中“prioritizes the process”部分错误。忙碌文化忽视过程,而不是将过程置于首位。故答案为:Hustle culture focuses on massive, high-risk goals, measures success by external factors and prioritizes the process. According to the passage, hustle culture ignores the process instead of prioritizing the process itself.
【43题详解】
开放性题目,此题要求回答:你打算如何在日常生活中实践“坚持文化”?答案不唯一,合理即可。例如:我会优先考虑持续努力,而非追求宏大目标。例如,在制作播客时,我会专注于每天提升采访技巧和讲故事的能力,而不是一味追求下载量。通过重视微小且可衡量的进步以及保持热情,我将实现可持续的成长,同时避免过度劳累。故答案为:I’ll prioritize consistent effort over grand goals. For instance, in podcasting, I’ll focus on improving interviewing skills and storytelling daily rather than chasing downloads. By valuing small, measurable progress and passion, I’ll build sustainable growth without burnout.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从童年时期开始参与竞技跑步,到随着年龄增长面临压力、失去跑步的初衷,再到因受伤而反思,最终在一位著名长跑运动员的启发下重新找回跑步的快乐与纯粹的过程。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“When I was young, I enjoyed the freedom, joy, and sense of power running gave me.(当我年轻的时候,我喜欢跑步给我的自由、快乐和力量感)”可知,在作者年轻的时候,跑步给她带来了自由、快乐和力量的感觉。故答案为The freedom, joy, and sense of power.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“However, as I got older, pressure began to build up. I was winning, but I lost sight of my real purpose as a runner: to have fun. I even began to fear hard workouts, knowing I would be disappointed if I didn’t achieve my goals.(然而,随着年龄的增长,压力开始累积。我赢了,但我忘记了我作为一名跑步者的真正目的:获得乐趣。我甚至开始害怕艰苦的锻炼,因为我知道如果我没有达到我的目标我会很失望)”可知,因为压力开始累积,所以作者后来不再喜欢跑步了。故答案为Because pressure began to build up.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“But later, a famous long-distance runner Cathy’s post changed everything for me. “Every day, I make the choice to show up and see what I’ve got, and to try and be better. My advice: Keep showing up.” With just a few words, she reminded me how simple running really is. I realized I didn’t have to be perfect every day.

Because the author realized that she didn’t have to be perfect every day.
【43题详解】

By showing up and doing your best, progress and joy will follow naturally.

Once he gets through these tasks, Gonen can more easily get into the mindset of tackling his homework. “A lot of these smaller tasks aren’t particularly fun or productive, but if you can really knock them out really quickly over a certain period of time, then you can get a lot more done and it doesn’t feel necessarily worse — you’ re just working 100 percent on whatever you’ re working on,” Gonen says.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何利用拖延症提高效率的方法。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章第一段中“Good news for procrastinators (拖延者): There is a way to use procrastination to your advantage. Most procrastinators make the mistake of doing nothing at all. But when you use procrastination as motivation to get things done, you can avoid doing that one thing you really would rather not do and be quite productive. It’s what essayist John Perry calls “structured procrastination”. (对于拖延者来说,有个好消息:有一种方法可以让拖延为你所用。大多数拖延者都犯了什么都不做的错误。但当你把拖延当作完成任务的动力时,你可以避开那件你真的不想做的事情,并且还能保持相当高的效率。这就是散文家约翰・佩里所说的“结构化拖延”。)”可知,“结构化拖延”是指把拖延当作完成事情的动力。故答案为Using procrastination as motivation to get things done.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“But a structured procrastinator would do them in reverse (反向) — using his desire to avoid writing the essay as motivation to do cleaning and respond to emails. Since he can reprogram by working on other things that are still valuable, he is actually getting a lot done. (但一个有规划的拖延者会反向做这些事——利用他避免写论文的欲望作为动力去做清洁和回复邮件。因为他可以通过做其他有价值的事情来重新安排自己的时间,所以他实际上做了很多事情。)”可知,有规划的拖延者会通过处理其他仍然有价值的事情来重新规划。故答案为They would reprogram by working on other things that are still valuable.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章最后一段中““A lot of these smaller tasks aren’t particularly fun or productive, but if you can really knock them out really quickly over a certain period of time, then you can get a lot more done and it doesn’t feel necessarily worse — you’ re just working 100 percent on whatever you’ re working on,” Gonen says. (Gonen说:“很多这样的小任务并不是特别有趣或高效,但如果你能在一定时间内迅速完成它们,那么你就能完成更多的事情,而且感觉也不一定更糟——你只是全身心地投入到正在做的事情中。”)”可知,Gonen先完成这些较小的任务,并不是因为它们有趣且富有成效,而是因为快速完成这些任务后可以完成更多的事情。所以“Gonen gets through his smaller tasks first because they are fun and productive.”这句话中“because they are fun and productive”部分错误。故答案为Gonen gets through his smaller tasks first because they are fun and productive. Because they can help Gonen get into the mindset of tackling his homework.
【43题详解】
开放性题目。此题要求回答:你会在日常生活中使用结构化拖延吗?为什么或为什么不呢?答案不唯一,合理即可。例如:是的,我会采用结构化拖延法。通过先处理一些较小且有价值的任务(比如回复电子邮件),我能够积攒动力,并且避免焦虑。这样一来,在推迟处理棘手工作的同时,我仍能取得进展,在工作效率和内心轻松之间达成平衡。故答案为Yes, I’d use structured procrastination. By tackling smaller, valuable tasks first (like emails), I’d build momentum and avoid anxiety. This way, I’d still achieve progress while postponing tough work, striking a balance between productivity and mental ease.

“You Only Live Once” (YOLO), a concept made popular in contemporary society through social media, conveys the desire to make the most of the present situation and cast aside all worries about the future. This mindset is considered to be the characteristic of today’s youth. However, do young people truly embody the YOLO mentality, or are they too concerned about planning their future to enjoy the present?
Some young people do tend to be overly absorbed in future planning and miss out on the present, largely influenced by societal attitudes advocating the merits of working towards a life plan and future goal. In Asian societies, young people plan their futures carefully to ensure financial security for the latter half of their lives. This often means getting good education and jobs. So, many take extra classes, losing free time and hobbies. Their excessive (过度的) focus on academics, which neglects their personal nature, brings mental stress and stops them from following their passions.
Another factor driving young people to excessively plan for the future is the increasing number of world challenges. Natural disasters, conflicts, wars, and pandemics are increasing, making the job market unstable. Young people are now more pressured to consider their future in this changing world. As a result, they don’t enjoy their youth as they should. Research conducted by University College London shows over half of 16-25-year-olds are worried about their future, with 53% believing job prospects are worsening.
Nevertheless, it’s encouraging to see that more young people are stepping off the beaten path and embracing the YOLO philosophy. The future is uncertain, and it’s natural for young people to feel anxious. However, living in the moment and enjoying each experience is crucial. After all, isn’t life more about the journey than the destination?
40. What mindset does YOLO convey?
______________________________________________________________________________
41. What are the two main factors that cause some young people to focus more on future planning?
______________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
In order to find their passions in life, young people in Asia plan their futures carefully.
______________________________________________________________________________
43. How do you understand the sentence “Life is more about the journey than the destination.” in the passage? (In about 40 words)
______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40 It conveys the desire to make the most of the present situation and cast aside all worries about the future.
41. The two main reasons are societal attitudes (advocating the merits of working towards a life plan and future goal/that advocate working towards a life plan and future goal) and the increasing number of world challenges.
42. In order to find their passions in life, young people in Asia plan their futures carefully.
In Asia, young people plan their futures carefully to ensure financial security for the latter half of their lives.
43. It emphasizes that life’s value lies not in achieving fixed goals but in the experiences, growth, and connections forged along the way. Hence, experiences and feelings during life’s journey are more valuable, so we should cherish and enjoy the present.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是“YOLO”理念所传达的心态,探讨年轻人是否真正践行这一理念,分析导致部分年轻人过度关注未来规划的因素,并鼓励年轻人享受当下。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中的““You Only Live Once” (YOLO), a concept made popular in contemporary society through social media, conveys the desire to make the most of the present situation and cast aside all worries about the future.(“及时行乐”(YOLO),一个通过社交媒体在当代社会流行起来的概念,传达了充分利用当下情况并抛开对未来所有担忧的愿望。)”可知,“YOLO”传达的是充分利用当下、抛开对未来所有担忧的愿望。故答案为:It conveys the desire to make the most of the present situation and cast aside all worries about the future.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Some young people do tend to be overly absorbed in future planning and miss out on the present, largely influenced by societal attitudes advocating the merits of working towards a life plan and future goal.(一些年轻人确实倾向于过度专注于未来规划而错过当下,这在很大程度上受到倡导朝着人生计划和未来目标努力的社会态度的影响。)”和第三段中的“Another factor driving young people to excessively plan for the future is the increasing number of world challenges.(促使年轻人过度规划未来的另一个因素是世界挑战的不断增加。)”可知,两个主要因素分别是倡导为人生计划和未来目标努力的社会态度,以及不断增多的世界挑战。故答案为:The two main reasons are societal attitudes (advocating the merits of working towards a life plan and future goal/that advocate working towards a life plan and future goal) and the increasing number of world challenges.
【42题详解】
考查推理判断。依据文章第二段中的“In Asian societies, young people plan their futures carefully to ensure financial security for the latter half of their lives.(在亚洲社会,年轻人仔细规划他们的未来,以确保后半生的经济安全。)”可知,亚洲年轻人仔细规划未来是为保障后半辈子经济安全,并非为寻找生活热情,所以In order to find their passions in life错误,应改为In order to ensure financial security for the latter half of their lives。故答案为:In order to find their passions in life, young people in Asia plan their futures carefully. In Asia, young people plan their futures carefully to ensure financial security for the latter half of their lives.
【43题详解】
考查开放性试题。结合文章鼓励年轻人活在当下的主旨,“人生更多的是旅程,而不是目的地”这句话强调,生命的价值不在于实现固定的目标,而在于一路上积累的经验、成长和联系;因此,人生旅途中的经历和感受更有价值,所以我们应该珍惜和享受当下。故答案为:It emphasizes that life’s value lies not in achieving fixed goals but in the experiences, growth, and connections forged along the way. Hence, experiences and feelings during life’s journey are more valuable, so we should cherish and enjoy the present.

In today’s fast-paced, achievement-oriented society, productivity is often associated with time management. We often think that to be productive, we need to master time-management techniques. But have you ever noticed that when you’re emotionally worn out, you struggle to stay organized or motivated? Or when you’re overwhelmed, tasks like answering emails or doing laundry pile up?
Unresolved emotions, such as fears of disappointing others or missing out on opportunities, often drive people to over-commit. Even with a well-organized calendar, you may find yourself squeezing in extra tasks, only to feel overwhelmed and rushed, which can lead to anxiety or even depression. The problem is not your time-management skills, but emotional overload.
True productivity isn’t about doing more in less time; it’s about managing your energy, emotions, and well-being over the long term. Research shows that employees who practice emotional regulation experience 20-30% higher productivity than those who rely only on time management.
The good news is that emotional management isn’t about grand gestures — it grows in small, intentional shifts. Start by pausing before agreeing to new commitments. When someone asks you to take on an additional task, don’t immediately agree. Ask for some time to consider it and review your other obligations. Besides, separate your work outcomes from your self-worth. By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth-oriented one, you will focus on learning rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes.
To get out of a seemingly cruel cycle, it takes patience and sensibility within yourself. Change is hard, but every step, no matter how small, is a step toward reclaiming your well-being.
