(2025·绵阳三模)Your teacher stops you and says he needs to have a word about your performance in the recent class. You worry about it all day, wondering what you might have done wrong. When you step into his office, he begins by praising you for your contributions to the class, and you wonder if this is the customary praise that starts off the typical “feedback sandwich” pattern: initiate with a compliment, insert the critical feedback, and conclude with another somewhat comforting remark.

Many educators employ this “feedback sandwich” technique in their teaching practice. However, positive feedback shouldn't merely serve as a buffer (缓冲区) for the negative; it ought to be sincerely delivered to spark and strengthen continued excellence. Here are three strategies to effectively give positive feedback.

Avoid Pairing Positive with Negative. When positive and negative feedback always seem to coexist, the positive feedback may lose its value and be overlooked. Make sure to provide positive feedback on its own, without adding constructive criticism.

Foster a “Growth Mindset”. Psychologist Carol Dweck, an advocate of the “growth mindset”, emphasizes the brain's adaptability and our capacity to nurture skills and talents we may initially lack. More often than not, praises tend to center on outcomes or natural abilities, such as “You have a keen eye for detail” or “You're naturally gifted in event planning”. However, he notes that highlighting the effort, exploration,and problem-solving approaches can promote skill development more effectively.

Cultivate a Positive Feedback Culture. Instead of reserving feedback for formal occasions such as performance reviews, integrate it into everyday interactions. Share informal,positive remarks during casual conversations or even when passing someone in the hallway. Furthermore, feedback shouldn't be limited to coming from superiors. Foster a culture where team members and classmates provide constructive comments for one another. Encourage peer-to-peer recognition. Motivate them to actively share positive observations and opinions about each other's behavior and contributions.

(2025·温州二模)A dropped bag of chips disturbed
a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park,
New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside
world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,”says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours.“But that can be all it takes,”says Ashley. “I'm sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”

Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it's incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethic in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.

Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts.“Everyone loses in this case.”

Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduce dangerous bacteria into water sources.

In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don't think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It's just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn't obvious. “It's easy to think, oh, there are wild flowers over there. I shouldn't step on them,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.

The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It's how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It's multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though they are identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words—a totally different context.

Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitters (发出者) and receivers share exactly the same code”.Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken.

Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party,“That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language's efficiency.

Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.

(2025·安徽皖江名校联考)At mile 12, my feet were already starting to hurt. By mile 17 of this year's Boston marathon, I was overcome by an urge to stop. The muscles in my legs and the soles of my feet were aching. There were still 9 hilly miles to go. The intense highs and lows of long-distance running consumed me. While I finally completed my second marathon, I couldn't walk properly for days.

How did it happen? “The sneakers you wear are responsible for your aching feet,” says Seth Kinley, an athletic trainer at Pennsylvania State University. Running a marathon means the foot strikes the ground thousands of times. Each step can cause stress and strain on the feet and legs. The repeated impact can lead to injuries, especially if the shoes don't provide enough support or cushioning (缓冲). This is why many runners experience pain or even develop long-term issues like stress fractures (骨折).

In the labs across the country, researchers are using high-tech equipment to design new kinds of gear and improve training routines. To prevent the stresses caused by running and other sports, scientists study how the body moves. The process begins when an athlete or employee points out a specific need. Experiments come next. At a Beaverton-based lab, basketball courts, treadmills, and padded running platforms have sensors that measure the forces of impact. Wind tunnels and temperature-controlled rooms simulate (模拟) real-world conditions. High-speed cameras take a thousand or more pictures per second. Computers perform analyses. Athletes come in to run and jump. A team of more than 25 experts watches their every move.

Meanwhile, companies also conduct their own research, all with the same goal—to make better, faster, cooler-looking shoes. Of course, profits are important, too. Sneakers, as you may know, can cost a lot of money, and the market is extremely competitive. Research is also going on at universities, sometimes for commercial reasons, other times to help coaches and athletes train better, or simply for the scientific interest of the work.
