On the morning of April 20th, I woke up in a panic (恐慌), thinking it was 6 am, but in reality, it was still 3 am. I had a vivid dream where I had overslept. This kind of dream often occurred before important events. Even though I knew I was well-prepared, I couldn’t shake off the worry. After a restless sleep filled with more anxious dreams, my alarm finally went off.
I met my friend Jenny and we took an Uber to the race site. The first half marathon was unknown to us. The race began, and we navigated (穿过) through a lush forest. We celebrated each mile, but after some tough uphill sections, I began to worry about making it through. As we approached the halfway point, we were cheered on by other runners, which encouraged us further. The downhill journey back was amazing, and we cruised through the second half, deciding to hold hands and cross the finish line together. To our surprise, we won our age and gender group!
After the race, we were overjoyed but faced a minor problem — no cellphone service to call an Uber back. Luckily, we met Lisa, Amy, and Robin, fellow runners who offered us a ride. During the car ride, we shared stories about running and life. They inspired me with their passion for running and traveling the world. I loved how running was a universal language that connected people with shared goals of being outdoors and meeting new people. Their attitudes showed me that adulthood could be full of surprises and joy.
The half marathon has taught me that the best experiences do not come from the familiar and safe. I’ve realized that I’ll be able to overcome many other unknown challenges of adulthood. I don’t know what they are yet, but my new friends have shown me that adulthood has many beautiful surprises waiting. I can’t wait to see what the next 13.1miles of life will bring.

When you remember a chocolate bar in a desk drawer, your brain might not just be recalling it — it could be actively pushing you to seek it out. A recent study of Monell Chemical Senses Center suggests that specific neurons (神经元) in the brain record the sensory and emotional details of energy-rich food. In mice, these neurons set off desire, leading to overeating — even when the animals weren’t hungry. Though the research was conducted in animals, it supports that memories of fat and sugar can quietly shape our eating behavior — often without our awareness.
In early human history, when energy was rare, we learned to use sensory signals — smell, sight, and location to identify energy-rich foods. After eating, the brain stores that information along with how the food made us feel. That influence dopamine (多巴胺) release in the brain’s reward pathways and the brain then updates the value of a food based on this information. When you meet the flavor (风味) again, the memory activates, stirring up a desire.
Memories of fat and sugar are stored via separate reward pathways, both leading to dopamine. Foods that combine fat and sugar can activate both pathways. In today’s world, the energy-rich foods that contain this powerful combination are everywhere and easily accessible, flooding our brain’s natural decision-making systems and making it harder to choose healthier options.
The good news is that the brain is adaptable. Just as it learns to desire certain foods, it can also learn new responses, says Amy Egbert, an assistant professor of psychological sciences. The first step is to identify the cause of the desire. Is it based on hunger, emotion, or something else? Once you identify the cause, you can begin to break the strong desire cycle.
Medicines like GLP-1 also show promise in weakening the brain’s reward signals after eating. However, it’s worth noting that while these medicines may be able to manage physical desire for food in the short term, they don’t fix the root. cause of overeating. While researchers are still exploring exactly how these medicines work, the best bet is to focus on how and why we eat and deal with that together with medicines.
8. What did the Monell study find according to paragraph 1?
A We easily remember food containing chocolate.
B Our characters are controlled by certain neurons.
C. Certain neurons record the shapes of high-energy food.
D. Certain neurons stir up eagerness for high-energy food.
9. How does memory of energy-rich foods affect Our desire to eat them?
A. By storing personal information. B. By producing the original flavor.
C. By influencing dopamine release. D. By providing some sensory signals.
10. Why are energy-rich foods the easier choices for people?
A. They benefit decision making. B. They activate two reward pathways.
C. They contain chemicals necessary for brain. D. They provide quick energy for daily activities.
11. What is the recommended solution to overeating?
A. Keeping away from snacks. B. Relying on medicines before meals.
C. Finding the cause of the eager cycle. D. Combining mindset change with medicines.
D
When a friend faces difficulties or feels defeated (挫败), we naturally offer understanding and encouragement. We provide emotional support without hesitation during their challenging moments. However, when we face similar struggles ourselves, that same voice often disappears, replaced by hard self-criticism (自责) and judgment.
This phenomenon is surprisingly common, yet it seriously affect our ability to handle life’s unavoidable challenges effectively. The inner conversations we have during defeats often include language we would never use when speaking to someone we care about. We tell ourselves we’re failures, that we should have known better, or that we’re simply not capable enough.
Research shows that practicing self-compassion (自我同情) provides significant mental benefits. Studies indicate that people who have higher levels of self-compassion show greater resilience (恢复力) when facing stressful situations and recover more effectively from defeats. Dr. Kristin Nef who has studied self-compassion for over twenty years, points out an important difference in how we understand our mistakes. “We can say, ‘I made a mistake,’ instead of saying, ‘I am a mistake,’” she explains.
Self-compassion is a healthier choice than traditional self-respect because it does not depend on good self-judgment or comparing with others. Instead, it focuses on treating ourselves with the same kindness and understanding we would naturally show to a good friend facing similar situations. This approach recognizes that making mistakes and experiencing failure are normal human experiences rather than personal character weaknesses.
By developing self-compassion, we create opportunities for real learning and growth instead of getting trapped in cycles of self-blame and bad thoughts. This mental change enables us to respond to challenges with better emotional balance and practical problem-solving skills. Finally, self-compassion leads to improved outcomes and better mental health. It provides a stronger and more lasting base for dealing with life’s difficulties than hard self-criticism ever can.
12. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. People are likely to help friends more than strangers.
B. People tend to be tougher on themselves than on others.
C. Friends’ encouragement often fails to reduce self-doubt.
D. Self-criticism is an effective way to overcome challenges.
13. What can practicing self-compassion bring about?
A. More dependence on others. B. Less mistakes in big decisions.
C. Deeper inner strength against setbacks. D. Greater pressure in the face of defeats.
14. What can be inferred about self-compassion?
A. It encourages competition with others. B. It aims to challenge one’s weaknesses.
C. It centers on kindness to oneself as friends. D. It provides chances to form a healthy cycle.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Stop Being Hard on Yourself B. Treat Others with More Kindness
C. Help Others Find Their Strengths D. Focus on Your Mistakes and Learn

On the morning of April 20th, I woke up in a panic (恐慌), thinking it was 6 am, but in reality, it was still 3 am. I had a vivid dream where I had overslept. This kind of dream often occurred before important events. Even though I knew I was well-prepared, I couldn’t shake off the worry. After a restless sleep filled with more anxious dreams, my alarm finally went off.
I met my friend Jenny and we took an Uber to the race site. The first half marathon was unknown to us. The race began, and we navigated (穿过) through a lush forest. We celebrated each mile, but after some tough uphill sections, I began to worry about making it through. As we approached the halfway point, we were cheered on by other runners, which encouraged us further.

After the race, we were overjoyed but faced a minor problem — no cellphone service to call an Uber back. Luckily, we met Lisa, Amy, and Robin, fellow runners who offered us a ride. During the car ride, we shared stories about running and life. They inspired me with their passion for running and traveling the world. I loved how running was a universal language that connected people with shared goals of being outdoors and meeting new people.

The good news is that the brain is adaptable. Just as it learns to desire certain foods, it can also learn new responses, says Amy Egbert, an assistant professor of psychological sciences. The first step is to identify the cause of the desire. Is it based on hunger, emotion, or something else? Once you identify the cause, you can begin to break the strong desire cycle.
Medicines like GLP-1 also show promise in weakening the brain’s reward signals after eating. However, it’s worth noting that while these medicines may be able to manage physical desire for food in the short term, they don’t fix the root. cause of overeating. While researchers are still exploring exactly how these medicines work, the best bet is to focus on how and why we eat and deal with that together with medicines.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了最近一项研究表明大脑特定神经元会激起对高能量食物的渴望,其记忆通过影响多巴胺起作用,建议结合心态调整与药物应对暴饮暴食。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A recent study of Monell Chemical Senses Center suggests that specific neurons (神经元) in the brain record the sensory and emotional details of energy-rich food. In mice, these neurons set off desire, leading to overeating — even when the animals weren’t hungry. (莫奈尔化学感官中心最近的一项研究表明,大脑中的特定神经元会记录高能量食物的感官和情感细节。在老鼠身上,这些神经元会引发欲望,导致过量进食——即使这些动物并不饿。)”可知,该研究发现特定神经元会激起对高能量食物的渴望。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“After eating, the brain stores that information along with how the food made us feel. That influence dopamine (多巴胺) release in the brain’s reward pathways and the brain then updates the value of a food based on this information. When you meet the flavor (风味) again, the memory activates, stirring up a desire.(吃完后,大脑会储存这些信息以及食物给我们的感觉。这会影响大脑奖励途径中多巴胺的释放,然后大脑会根据这些信息更新食物的价值。当你再次遇到味道时,记忆就会激活,激起欲望。)” 可知,高能量食物的记忆通过影响多巴胺的释放来激发进食欲望。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Memories of fat and sugar are stored via separate reward pathways, both leading to dopamine. Foods that combine fat and sugar can activate both pathways. In today’s world, the energy-rich foods that contain this powerful combination are everywhere and easily accessible, flooding our brain’s natural decision-making systems and making it harder to choose healthier options.(脂肪和糖的记忆是通过单独的奖励途径储存的,这两种途径都会产生多巴胺。结合脂肪和糖的食物可以激活这两种途径。在当今世界,含有这种强大组合的富含能量的食物无处不在,很容易获得,淹没了我们大脑的自然决策系统,使我们更难选择更健康的选择。)”可知,高能量食物易被选择是因为它们能激活两种奖励通路。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While researchers are still exploring exactly how these medicines work, the best bet is to focus on how and why we eat and deal with that together with medicines.(虽然研究人员仍在探索这些药物的确切作用机制,但最好的办法是关注我们如何以及为什么吃这些药物,并与药物一起处理。)”可知,暴饮暴食的推荐解决方案是将心态调整与药物结合。故选D项。
D
When a friend faces difficulties or feels defeated (挫败), we naturally offer understanding and encouragement. We provide emotional support without hesitation during their challenging moments. However, when we face similar struggles ourselves, that same voice often disappears, replaced by hard self-criticism (自责) and judgment.
This phenomenon is surprisingly common, yet it seriously affect our ability to handle life’s unavoidable challenges effectively. The inner conversations we have during defeats often include language we would never use when speaking to someone we care about. We tell ourselves we’re failures, that we should have known better, or that we’re simply not capable enough.
Research shows that practicing self-compassion (自我同情) provides significant mental benefits. Studies indicate that people who have higher levels of self-compassion show greater resilience (恢复力) when facing stressful situations and recover more effectively from defeats. Dr. Kristin Nef who has studied self-compassion for over twenty years, points out an important difference in how we understand our mistakes. “We can say, ‘I made a mistake,’ instead of saying, ‘I am a mistake,’” she explains.
Self-compassion is a healthier choice than traditional self-respect because it does not depend on good self-judgment or comparing with others. Instead, it focuses on treating ourselves with the same kindness and understanding we would naturally show to a good friend facing similar situations. This approach recognizes that making mistakes and experiencing failure are normal human experiences rather than personal character weaknesses.
By developing self-compassion, we create opportunities for real learning and growth instead of getting trapped in cycles of self-blame and bad thoughts. This mental change enables us to respond to challenges with better emotional balance and practical problem-solving skills. Finally, self-compassion leads to improved outcomes and better mental health. It provides a stronger and more lasting base for dealing with life’s difficulties than hard self-criticism ever can.
12. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. People are likely to help friends more than strangers.
B. People tend to be tougher on themselves than on others.
C. Friends’ encouragement often fails to reduce self-doubt.
D. Self-criticism is an effective way to overcome challenges.
13. What can practicing self-compassion bring about?
A. More dependence on others. B. Less mistakes in big decisions.
C. Deeper inner strength against setbacks. D. Greater pressure in the face of defeats.
14. What can be inferred about self-compassion?
A. It encourages competition with others. B. It aims to challenge one’s weaknesses.
C. It centers on kindness to oneself as friends. D. It provides chances to form a healthy cycle.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Stop Being Hard on Yourself B. Treat Others with More Kindness
C. Help Others Find Their Strengths D. Focus on Your Mistakes and Learn
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自我同情的概念及其对心理健康的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When a friend faces difficulties or feels defeated (挫败), we naturally offer understanding and encouragement. We provide emotional support without hesitation during their challenging moments. However, when we face similar struggles ourselves, that same voice often disappears, replaced by hard self-criticism and judgment.(当朋友遇到困难或受挫时,我们自然而然地给予理解和鼓励。在他们面临挑战的时刻,我们毫不犹豫地提供情感支持。然而,当我们自己面临类似的困境时,那个同样的声音往往就消失了,取而代之的是严厉的自我批判和指责)”可知,作者指出的现象是,当人们自己面临困难时,通常会比对待朋友时更加严厉地批评自己。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的句子“Research shows that practicing self-compassion provides significant mental benefits. Studies indicate that people who have higher levels of self-compassion show greater resilience when facing stressful situations and recover more effectively from defeats.(研究表明,练习自我同情对精神有很大的好处。研究表明,自我同情水平较高的人在面对压力时表现出更强的适应力,也能更有效地从失败中恢复过来)”可知,练习自我同情可以带来显著的心理益处,增强面对压力时的恢复力,并更有效地从失败中恢复,即自我同情能增强应对挫折的内在力量。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的句子“Self-compassion is a healthier choice than traditional self-respect because it does not depend on good self-judgment or comparing with others. Instead, it focuses on treating ourselves with the same kindness and understanding we would naturally show to a good friend facing similar situations.(自我同情是一种比传统自尊更健康的选择,因为它不依赖于良好的自我判断或与他人比较。相反,它关注的是用同样的善意和理解对待自己,我们会在面对类似情况时自然地向一个好朋友展示)”可知,自我同情关注的是以对待朋友的方式对待自己,而不是与他人比较。这表明自我同情是以自我友善为中心的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的整体内容,文章主要讨论了人们在面对困难时往往对自己比对朋友更严厉,而练习自我同情可以带来显著的心理益处,帮助人们更好地应对挑战。因此,一个合适的标题是“Stop Being Hard on Yourself(不要对自己太苛刻)”。故选A项。

由上文“Kaimal emphasizes that the act of making art relieves stress, even if you’re unhappy with the outcome.(凯马尔强调,即使对结果不满意,创作艺术的行为也能缓解压力)”及下文“So, relax, have fun, let your creativity flow and immerse yourself in the experience.(所以,放松,享受乐趣,让你的创造力流动,让自己沉浸在体验中)”可知,此处需要说明放下对结果的期待的好处。G项Letting go of expectations frees you to explore new ideas.(放下期待能让你自由地探索新想法) 中“letting go of expectations”呼应“even if you’re unhappy with the outcome”,“frees you to explore”解释了为何过程更重要 —— 因为它能释放创造力,衔接“观点阐述→行动建议”的逻辑。故选G项。
【20题详解】
由上文“Treat art like exercise or study—set aside time for it.(把艺术当作锻炼或学习 —— 为它留出时间)”可知,此处需要说明每日创作的具体时间安排。E项Even 10 minutes a day can make a difference.(即使每天10分钟也能有所不同)中“10 minutes a day”是“set aside time”的具体建议,强调无需长时间投入,小剂量的日常创作也能积累效果,使“养成习惯”的建议更易执行。故选E项。
