The night before, you spend a lot of time thinking about the possible mistakes you might make and whether you’re prepared enough. Well, you might be overthinking. Overthinking means going over the same thought again and again, analyzing (分析) the simplest situations or events too much. Overthinking comes from one of our primitive instincts (原始本能). The primitive mind will always see things in the worst possible light. Our brains are always looking for threats (威胁), to make a plan to deal with those threats and keep us safe. Some people believe that overthinking may be helpful because it helps us look at a problem from every possible angle (角度) and get ready for what might happen. However, research suggests that overthinking can make us stressed, anxious (焦虑的) and depressed(忧郁的). What’s more overthinking might create problems with how you get along with others. As you think the worst, make incorrect guesses, or worry about every little thing others do and say, you might misunderstand their intentions (意图). So, instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again, you can distract (转移注意力) yourself for a bit. Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you’re doing something fun, like gardening (园艺), or even while you’re sleeping. Also, when you find yourself overthinking, challenge these thoughts. Ask yourself if they make sense and think about other possibilities. It can be hard at first, but recognizing that you are overthinking can help you make a change. 摘自中国日报•二十一世纪学生英文报 2023-24学年第46-50期 21. According to the passage, what is the result of overthinking? A. It improves problem-solving skills. B. It reduces stress levels. C. It leads to anxiety and poor decisions. D. It helps people sleep better. 22. What does the brain’s “primitive instinct” do, according to the passage? A. It encourages creative thinking. B. It focuses on finding threats. C. It helps people relax in difficult situations. D. It makes decisions quickly. 23. Which activity is suggested to stop overthinking? A. Doing something interesting. B. Challenging negative thoughts. C. Avoiding all social activities. D. Making longer to-do lists. 24. What can we infer (推断) about people who overthink? A. They never feel stressed. B. They may misunderstand others’ intentions. C. They always make perfect plans. D. They prefer to work alone. 25. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Overthinking is a useless habit. B. Overthinking has roots in human instincts but can be managed. C. Gardening is the best solution to stress. D. Modern life makes overthinking unavoidable. （C） Suizhou No.1 Travel Route Drive along Suizhou’s No.1 Travel Route to see beautiful flowers, peach blossoms, and green fields.

Along the way, you’ll also find old stone bridges, ancient temples, and friendly villages where time seems to stand still. Helping Farms and Tourism The road mixes nature, culture, and fun. It helps the area grow by showing its special things. Local farmers sell fresh fruits and vegetables at roadside stands. Visitors can pick seasonal fruits like peaches and strawberries in summer. There are great photo spots and farm activities. Children can feed goats and collect eggs at petting zoos. Visitors can try farming and learn about old ways. These fun experiences help people understand country life better. Travel No.1 Route connects Suizhou’s cultural places with farms and tourist spots. This makes them work well together.

A few students wiped windows, tables, and chairs, removing dust and making everything shine. Besides cleaning, the students also spent time talking with the elderly. They chatted warmly, asking about their health and daily lives. The elderly were deeply touched by the students’ kindness and care.
