Sitting in the garden for my friend's birthday.I felt a buzz (in my pocket.My heart raced when I saw the email sender's name.The email started off:"Dear Mr.Green,thank you for your interest"and "the review process took longer than expected."It ended with"We are sorry to inform you..."and my vision blurred ) The position-measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme-had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying,and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when,not long after the email,Professor Mary Devon,who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab.I jumped at the chance,and a few weeks later I was equally shocked-and overjoyed-when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn't seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to,but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely That project,which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the buming heat of the desert,not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn't.In the end,I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school,I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction.And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before.When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit,it was undoubtedly difficult.But this time I had the perspective (to keep it from sending me into panic.It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone,I've learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered,even if they don't sound perfect at the time,and make the most of them. 24.How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender's name? A.Anxious.B.Angry. C.Surprised. D.Settled. 25.After talking with Professor Devon,the author decided to A.criticise the review process B.stay longer in the Sahara Desert C.apply to the original project again D.put his heart and soul into the lab work 2 26.According to the author,the project with the robotics professor was A.demanding B.inspiring C.misleading D.amusing 27.What can we leam from this passage? A.An invitation is a reputation. B.An innovation is a resolution. C.A rejection can be a redirection. D.A reflection can be a restriction. c As hurtful as it can be for a friend or partner to put us down,it is far worse when we find a critic in our own head that keeps criticizing and doubting ourselves.To break free from the self-criticism,and achieve inner peace and self-acceptance,an extremely important step is to understand the three"parts"of us:the inner critic,the inner victim and the inner observer. The inner critic sits deeply within our sense of ourselves.That means that it-or the seeds of it-was placed there at an early age.For example,if our parents called us stupid or worthless as a child,it is understandable that our child-self would learn to be self-critical and view ourselves with doubt or even shame.Since all humans are imperfect,the inner critic's message may make the inner victim"objectively"believe what the inner critic has said and feel worthless. On the other hand,the inner observer is a kind of self-awareness.It understands the inner critic's origin and motivation and,in all likelihood,would not agree with what the inner critic has said-and might even offer a few choice words in response.For instance,it might remind the inner victim,"Remember,even if you feel what the critic has said is true,it does not mean that it is true."In other words,the inner observer offers a possibility for change by connecting with the two"parts"to help us achieve self-acceptance and inner peace. Having recognized the dynamics among the three "parts"of us,we can'start to break free from self-criticism.First,reflect on why the child-self so often feels bad in the upsetting present-day situations.Then, respond to the child-self's pain with sympathy and compassion.Once the child-self's pain is addressed,we are able to question or even free ourselves from self-criticism.Though it may be a long process from self-criticism to self-acceptance,in the end,we can find greater inner peace and build a happier relationship with ourselves. To learn more about how to comfort the child-self,let's watch this brief video,Healing Your Inner Child, now. 28.Which statement will the author probably agree with? A.Self-doubt was born with human beings. B.The inner critic's message is usually right C.Parents'criticism may have lasting effects.D.Many adults are too sensitive to criticism. 29.What is the inner observer's most important function? A.To find good excuses for the self-child.B.To provide reliable evidence for the inner critic. C.To help us become more sympathetic towards others. D.To challenge our false beliefs and heal us from within. 30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The journey to self-acceptance. B.The various types of self-doubting. C.The relationship among our three"parts".D.The benefits of dealing with self-doubting. 31.Where is the text most probably taken from? A.Atextbook. B.Apsychology lecture. C.An advertisement. D.An introduction to a video. D Psychological science is full of interesting topics,many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories.A case in point is the tricky and misunderstood overlap (重叠)between strength-based science and the research on narcissism(自恋). There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise,especially in our youth.In my own research on strength-based parenting,it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for narcissism.Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else.It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant,selfish and uncaring.Genuine confidence about one's strengths is categorized as over-confidence;desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration. Why does this occur?It's partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths.While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic joumals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace,research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness.The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored "go-to"topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it. The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unknowingly fall prey to binary (thinking.We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble.We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa.There's no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths,and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness. 3 When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus,we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are,actually,more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others. It's tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I'd like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring,thoughtful and humble-even when they use their strengths. 32.Which does the underlined word"coherent"possibly mean? A.Reasonable.B.Primary. C.Complicated. D.Beneficial. 33.Why teenagers'strengths are often mistaken for narcissism? A.Teenagers with strengths are always arrogant,selfish and uncaring. B.The public are more exposed to research on narcissism. C.There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness. D.Numbers of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors. 34.The author mentions Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 4 to show that A.they are both victims of binary thinking B.public figures unknowingly fall prey to narcissism C.confidence is quite important for celebrities D.one can be both modest and sure of himself 35.What's the author's attitude towards young kids'strength-based approaches? A.Skeptical.B.Neutral. C.Favorable. D.Cautious. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Overcome Procrastination(拖延症) Procrastination is one of those things that even the most well-organized and punctual fall victim to at some point or another.Think about the last time you found yourself watching television when you really should have been doing homework.36.So what can students and other people do to overcome procrastination?
