拓展阅读六&综合实践三-【快乐暑假·中学生】2025年七年级英语假期作业（外研版）

拓展阅读六 Building Brain Awareness We make decisions every day,from simple choices like what to eat for lunch to important ones like which high school to enter.However,some- times it can be hard to make the correct decision.What stops us from reaching the results we want? Perfectionism(完美主义) For some people,making decisions is difficult..Perfectionists(完美主义 )try to find the best way to deal with every problem and are unable to move forward when they can't find one.They are also likely to set unrealis- tic expectations(不切实际的期望)，expect the worst result will happen,not accept uncertainty(不确定性)，and keep looking for help from others. Bias(偏见) People often make poor decisions because they depend on personal bias rather than the context (in which things happen.Different biases influence our decisions in different ways.Having a self-serving bias means making decisions that make us feel good about ourselves,even if they might not be the best decisions for anyone else.Authority()bias happens when we trust someone just because they are famous or respected,even if others might have better ideas. Intelligence(智慧) A science writer said that being intelligent(聪明的)can sometimes stop people from making correct decisions.At times,intelligence is used to help explain irrational beliefs(不合理的观念).Some people believe that hu- mility()is key to making a good decision.People who can accept that they might be wrong are more likely to consider different points and make better decisions as a result. TIPS TO MAKE BETTER CHOICES Set realistic expectations.Uncertainty is normal when we make dif- ficult choices. Realize that we have a bias in the first place. ·Pretend(假设)that the situation has already happened and that you've made a choice. 30 综合实践三 为家长做一件有意义的事 父母给了我们生命，父母哺育我们成长。父母的养育之恩，我们终生都难以报答。 有句古语说得好，“百善孝为先”。孝敬父母是人类最美好的品德。孝敬父母不一定要 做一番惊天动地的事情，我们只要平时多注意从身边小事做起，就完全可以尽到我们对 父母的孝敬之心。 利用暑假时间为父母做一件有意义的事情吧！ 请用英语写一写你所做的事情和父母的反应以及自己从中受到的启发。 31
