Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A (2025·山东德州期中)It's one of the most common questions adults ask children: what do you want to be when you grow up? Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also discuss important topics regarding their futures.Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age. The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace.Rodica Damian, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston, and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change.However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong.These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in the community or helping others. During the study, researchers compared how their goals evolved as children moved from adolescence to adulthood and how a person's goals impacted their success in school and as an employee later on.Overall, a child's goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors of income in adulthood.Simply, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be.So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success when you grow up! “Our work proves a strong connection between a child's life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes.This information is valuable for parents and educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals.Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential，” Damian concludes.

It might seem like a strange philosophical question.But the answer to how you think about your future self could make the difference between decisions you ultimately find satisfying and ones you might eventually regret. The brain patterns that emerge on an MRI (核磁共振成像) when people think about their future selves most like the brain patterns that arise when they think about strangers.This finding suggests that, in the mind's eye, our future selves look like other people.If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat healthier or exercise more regularly to benefit that stranger? However, if you see the interests of your distant self as more like those of your present self, you are considerably more likely to do things today that benefit you tomorrow.A paper in the journal PLoS One revealed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to achieve academic success.Relationships with our future selves also matter for general psychological well­being.In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5，000 adults aged 20 to 75, he found that those who perceived a great overlap (重叠) in qualities between their current and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 10 years after filling out the initial survey. So how can we better befriend our future selves and feel more connected to their fates? The psychological mindset with what we call “vividness interventions” works.We have found, for instance, that showing people images of their older, grayer selves increases intentions to save for the long term.Besides, you might try writing a letter to—and then from—your future self.As demonstrated by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study in the journal Self and Identity, when high­school students engaged in this type of “send­and­reply” exercise, they experienced elevated (升高的) levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves. Letter­writing and visualization exercises are just a couple of ways we can connect with our future selves and beyond, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our distant selves as if they are people we love, care about and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives—both today and tomorrow.
