Ⅰ. 阅读理解

A

(2025·北京卷)The call to “know yourself” has been there since ancient times，but our sense of self doesn't always match what others perceive.Considering the stories we tell about ourselves can help us to change our minds for better.

For many years，psychologists saw identity as a combination of someone's values，beliefs，goals and social roles.Then，in the 1980s，Bob Johnson created the life story model of identity，in which he proposes that，as we go through life，these core features are built in with our memories to create a personal story through which we understand our lives.

Our life story is something that starts coming together in our teenage years，when we begin to organise our lives into chapters around key events or life changes，and begin to see ourselves as

both the central character and，to a varying extent，the story's author.People with more consistent stories tend to have a stronger sense of identity，and they feel their life has more meaning，direction and sense of purpose.Such people show greater overall life satisfaction，too.

Johnson has also investigated the link between well-being and certain story themes.He discovered that whether someone describes having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of a person's mental health.Another key theme involves finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events.“People could talk about gaining knowledge or personal growth，” says Johnson.His research shows that this is often missing for people with mental health conditions.The good news is that there is evidence we can learn to change our own story.

Lisa Green，another researcher，sounds a few notes of caution (谨慎).For instance，hearing about the power of redemptive (拯救性的) stories，many people may feel forced to find a positive angle on horrible events.She says that Western culture already pushes people to look for the silver lining behind every cloud.

If you want to turn over a new leaf，though，one top tip is that it helps to choose a significant date that signals the start of a new “chapter”．Contrary to popular doubt，resolutions made on 1 January are more effective for this reason.So，whether your goal is saving money or getting fit，there is no better time to become the author of our own destiny (命运).
