The Age of Envy
One night about five years ago, just before bed, I saw a tweet from a friend announcing that he was extremely delighted to have been awarded a journalism prize. I felt my head spin and my teeth hurt ____1____(填两个词) I had been punched in the face. I didn't sleep well that night.
Admittedly, we live in the age of envy. Career envy, children envy, holiday envy. You name it. Human beings have always felt ____2____ Aristotle defined in the fourth century BC as pain at the sight of another's good fortune. But with the arrival of social media, envy ____3____ (take) to extremes day by day. We are constantly exposed to others' photoshopped lives on social media platforms, and that exerts a negative influence on us, the likes of ____4____ we have never experienced in the history of our species. And it is not particularly pleasant.
"Our use of platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram enlarges this deeply disturbing psychological problem," says Rachel Andrew, a clinical psychologist, "I think what social media has done is to make everyone accessible ____5____ comparison," she explains.
And those comparisons are now much ____6____ (realistic), Andrew continues: "We all know that images can be filtered, and that people are just presenting the very best side of their lives." She has also observed among her patients that knowing they are looking at ____7____(edit) versions of reality is no defense against the emotional force of envy. "What I notice is that most of us can intellectualize what we see on social media platforms, ____8____ on an emotional level, it's still pushing buttons. If those images tap into what we aspire to but don't have, then it becomes very powerful."
No man and no woman ____9____(be) immune to envy, according to Andrew, whether it's a young lady following certain accounts to find makeup techniques or an old businessman looking for strategies on social media sites. Perhaps in part it is because we don't know how to answer the question: "What would be good enough?" That is something that needs ____10____(study).

The problem with prize culture
It seems that every kid today deserves a trophy(奖杯) and is meant to be a champion for something. They are first divided by age, then by previous achievement, and often by the type of performance. Smaller categories create more opportunities for prizes—what I call "the ____41____ up of honor".
Two trends have led to this. First, the desire to prevent public competition in school classrooms was part of the self-esteem movement that started in the 1960s. But the movement didn't really reach activities outside of the classroom, and private organizations rushed to fill the gap created by schools. With the ____42____ decline of competition in the classroom, parents wanted more competitive opportunities for their children and were willing to pay for it.
Second, American culture has come to embrace prizes and awards. The winner-take-all prize ____43____ that characterizes American culture started in the early 20th century, captured by the development of organized American sporting culture. In the second half of the 20th century, the entire society increasingly ____44____ competition, and rankings in general. The 1970s was the most ____45____ period of prize creation, including the addition of even more prizes to fields like film and literature. Since that decade, prizes have become even more fashionable, along with children's competitive activities.
Moreover, from the moment a child is brought into the world, he or she is ____46____ with a number. At birth this is the Apgar score, a score from zero to ten that a doctor uses to rate the health of a newborn baby. As a child enters school, the ____47____ number becomes a standardized test score, either an OLSAT or an SAT score. That this is now happening in afterschool activities is a sign of the endless ____48____ in contemporary American childhood.
While awards may help people set goals and practice diligently, they are also a business practice. Awards help ensure clients return year after year. Keeping kids, parents, teachers and coaches happy with lots of ____49____ keeps the money flowing to the organizers of the competitions.
But psychological research finds that giving kids rewards for doing an activity means lower levels of internal motivation. High levels of internal motivation is precisely what we want to foster among kids to help them attain long-term success. But the thirst for honor and the trophy culture ____50____ it has clearly gone too far.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A: Cloze
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
In praise of anxiety
Nobody likes to feel anxious. An entire industry has sprung up to aid us in eliminating it, from self-help books to cognitive behavioral therapy. Yet with rates of anxiety disorders rising sharply worldwide, it seems that our efforts to ____51____ anxiety aren't working.
But feeling anxious isn't the problem. The problem is that we don't understand how to respond ____52____ to anxiety. This "bad" feeling isn't a failure of mental health. It's a victory of human ____53____, a response emerging with our ability to cope with the uncertain future. It was Charles Darwin who saw that ____54____ emotions like anxiety offers a profound evolutionary advantage. Fear, ____55____, signals that you may be in danger—from a predator or a bully—and readies your body and mind to fight or take flight.
Anxiety, by contrast, has nothing to do with ____56____ threats. ____57____, it turns you into a mental time traveler, drawing your attention to what lies ahead. Will you succeed or fail in a big job interview? Anxiety prompts your mind and body into ____58____. Your worries force you to prepare thoroughly for the interview, while your heart races and pumps blood to your brain so that you stay sharp, prepared to pursue your goals.
Over the years, research has also shown higher levels of dopamine when we're anxious. We have long known dopamine increases when an experience is pleasurable and also in anticipation of ____59____.
The fact that anxiety also boosts dopamine levels points to its role in making positive possibilities into reality.
Sadly, many of us feel overwhelmed by lasting anxiety and don't see any ____60____ from it. We have come to believe that the best way to cope is to get rid of it. But treating anxiety as a disease prevents us from telling ordinary anxiety from anxiety disorders, and creates huge ____61____ costs when it comes to using anxiety to our benefit.
Here's the difference between anxiety and an anxiety disorder: a disorder is only diagnosed when our ways of coping with anxiety disturb our ability to function normally in life. These problematic ways usually involve ____62____, like never leaving a house because we fear a negative evaluation, or taking drugs to dull our emotional pain. They also involve the belief that we can't cope with anxiety. Countless research shows when we instead are curious about our negative emotions, and learn to name them and ____63____ them, they become more manageable.
Therefore, we need to develop a new mindset about this misunderstood emotion. Reframing anxiety as a(n) ____64____ and a valued part of being human isn't easy. It takes practice and it doesn't mean anxiety becomes enjoyable. Anxiety can't do its job unless it makes us ____65____, forcing us to sit up and pay attention. We don't need to like anxiety—just to use it in the right way.

Section B: Reading comprehension
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
For as long as I can remember, I've been extremely conscious of myself -- how others perceive and judge me. If you've ever taken a psychology class, the term "spotlight effect" may ring a bell. I lived under the imagined spotlight for years, constantly worried about my perceived intellect and looks.
If I made a wrong comment in class, I would think about the moment for days. A single spot on my face would make me want to lock myself home and never face humanity again. Growing up with social media increased the pressure to be perfect. I've spent embarrassing amounts of screen time on Instagram, zooming into each of my posts to see if I looked cool, fun or pretty enough.
My anxious thoughts took over my life. As I entered college, countless times I passed by an ad detailing an exciting event or job. However, I would grab these flyers only to let them gather dust. The lack of initiative was not due to laziness but fear of scrutiny. Without a familiar face, club meetings felt like an opportunity ripe for embarrassment. I knew I'd be placing myself among strangers, directly under their gaze.
I came to realize the extent to which my unfounded fear of judgment burdened me. If I'm reluctant to try new things, how can I experience my surroundings to their fullest? The spotlight effect is also a narrowing effect, limiting the vision you have of your possibilities because of social pressures.
A close friend once told me how he stepped out—he simply decided not to care about what others thought of him. His decision to live for himself confused me. I couldn't imagine a world where I wasn't constantly changing myself to meet others' expectations or tirelessly trying to satisfy someone else in every relationship.
But eventually I took his advice — I vowed to live in a carefree way without fear of others' attention. I allowed myself to work out at the gym during peak time, go to professors' office hours and joined new clubs. Rest assured, I still fought with social pressures, asking myself, "What if they notice when I mix up my words while talking?" To all those who may sympathize with that thought, I'll ask you this: when have you ever torn someone to pieces over a simple pronunciation mistake? So I adopted a new motto for myself— no one truly cares.
And the world didn't explode and I've never once regretted being outside my comfort zone. I found myself applying for internships, making new friends and feeling less restrained by the self-imposed boundaries and more appreciative for my potential and abilities.
I still hesitate before speaking up, have to give myself a pep talk before a group conversation. Changing your mindset and habits is probably one of the hardest cycles to break. But as the new year begins, I promise you all that it is never that deep. Just remember: ____________________.
66. According to the passage, the term "spotlight effect" can be best defined as ______
A. the tendency to judge others based on their intelligence and appearance
B. the pressure to present a perfect self-image to capture public attention
C. the limitation to one's potential and abilities caused by fear of judgment
D. the feeling that one is constantly being noticed and evaluated by others
67. The highlighted word "scrutiny" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______
A. sharp criticism B. great uncertainty C. careful examination D. deep shame
68. What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A. She used to prioritize others' needs and expectations in her relationships.
B. She believed that social media was the major cause of her social anxiety.
C. She has successfully overcome her anxiety caused by social pressures.
D. She thought she should have stepped outside her comfort zone earlier.
69. What piece of advice is the author most likely to offer to readers at the end of the passage?
A. Seek friends' help when you suffer from self-doubt.
B. Stop being too self-conscious and live for yourself.
C. Be brave to tap your potential and try new things.
D. Seize the day and make your life more meaningful.
(B)
Book
"Secrets are lies"; "Sharing is caring"; "Privacy is theft". The Circle, the eponymous(同名的) tech giant in Dave Eggers' novel, is good at generating mottos. The company has collected the personal data of millions of citizens and monetized it all so effectively that working there seems like the ultimate dream for its young, ambitious staff. They put in long hours in front of multiple screens as endless messages and invitations stream past. After work they are expected to socialize on the company campus and post everything about that on social media, too. Some thrive under the fast pace and constant self-exposure. Some are crushed. When the book first came out, some of its criticism of the Internet age seemed broad brush. Now that reality has proved itself darker than Eggers' worst imaginings, this book instead feels like a neglected warning: forward-thinking, intelligent and exhausting.
Film
Jeff Orlowski's film The Social Dilemma shows us that tech burnout is not simply a sad occasional victim of digital consumption or social media engagement. It's inevitable. You feel exhausted because you are the fuel intended to be used up: you are the log throwing itself on the flames that warm the big tech corporations. Addiction is algorithmically baked into the way social media works; cunningly designed with all its little beeps and prompts to keep you browsing, liking and retweeting, longing for the next little dopamine hit of amusement, upset and uneasy if your smartphone isn't immediately to hand. You are all unknowingly enlisted into an army of consumers whose presence justifies these corporations' ad spends.
Television
There is nothing more affirming than Mackenzie Crook's sitcom Detectorists. Andy and Lance are not so much hiding from the imperatives(必要的事) of modern communication as avoiding them altogether. They find meaning in day-to-day beauty: sitting in a field, and occasionally, finding a trinket(小玩意) that's the key to another world. By slowing down, disengaging from the stressful digitally networked life and keeping one foot in the deep past, they manage to live in an eternal present, too.
70. What can we learn about the tech company in the novel The Circle?
A. It attracts young employees with its seemingly inspiring mottos
B. All the employees working in it can't fit into the company culture.
C. It encourages staff to share the personal data of citizens on social media.
D. It promotes long work hours while discouraging social interaction among staff.
71. According to the film The Social Dilemma, people find themselves unavoidably exhausted in a tech-soaked world primarily because ______
A. they are the target consumers providing the fuel for major tech companies
B. they suffer from anxiety and discomfort if their smartphones are unavailable
C. the way social media is designed and functions can easily get them addicted
D. tech companies invest heavily in ad campaigns to attract them as customers
72. The above recommended book, film and TV sitcom all touch on the topic of ______
A. the tech burnout people experience in the information age
B. the loss of privacy due to the popularity of social media
C. the delicate work-life balance in a fast-paced world
D. the modern-day addiction to digital consumption
(C)
Artists are often perceived by many people as weird. But the weirdest may be this: artists' only job is to explore emotions, and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.
This isn't always so. The earliest forms of art, like painting and music, are those best suited for expressing joy. But from the 19th century, more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless or fake, as we went from Wordsworth's daffodils to Baudelaire's flowers of evil.
You could argue that art became more doubtful about happiness because modern times have seen so much misery. But it's not as if earlier times didn't know everlasting war, disaster and the killing of innocents. The reason, in fact, may be just the opposite: there is too much happiness in the world today.
After all, what is the one modern form of expression almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness? Advertising. The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks the emergence of mass media, and with it, a commercial culture in which happiness is not just an ideal but an ideology(意识形态).
People in earlier eras were surrounded by reminders of misery. They worked until exhausted, lived with few protections and died young. In the West, before mass communication and literacy, the most powerful mass medium was the church, which told worshippers that their souls were in danger and that they would someday be meat for worms. Given all this, they did not exactly need their art to be a disappointment too.
Today the messages the average Westerner is surrounded with are not religious but commercial and forever happy. Fast-food eaters, news anchors, text messengers, all smiling, smiling. Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes. And since these messages have an agenda—to lure us to open our wallets—they make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable.
But what we forget—what our economy depends on us forgetting—is that happiness is more than pleasure without pain. The things that bring the greatest joy carry the greatest potential for loss and disappointment. Today, surrounded by promises of easy happiness, we need art to tell us as religion once did: remember that you will die, that everything ends, and that happiness comes not in denying this but in living with it. It's a message even more bitter than a cigarette, yet, somehow, a breath of fresh air.
73. By citing the examples of poets Wordsworth and Baudelaire, the author intends to show that ______
A. poetry is not as expressive of joy as other art forms
B. art grows out of both positive and negative feelings
C. today's artists have changed their focus of interest
D. the missions of artists may make them look weird
74. In the author's opinion, advertising ______
A. starts to emerge with the rise of the anti-happy art
B. is a cause of disappointment for the general public
C. replaces the church as a major source of information
D. creates an illusion of happiness, not happiness itself
75. We can learn from the last paragraph that the author believes that ______
A. happiness more often than not ends in sadness
B. the anti-happy art is distasteful but refreshing
C. misery should be enjoyed rather than denied
D. happiness is closely linked with economic boom
76. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Art provides a balance between the ideal and reality.
B. Modern art differs from earlier art in reflecting happiness.
C. The art of unhappiness is greatly needed in modern times.
D. Happiness still remains an illusion in modern times.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Translating the finding into real-life action is easy if you are an early bird leading early birds.
B. To be more specific, charisma isn't just about your talent and skills; it's also about timing.
C. In a follow-up study, the team found that timing also plays a role in how listeners perceived the speeches.
D. But there's one factor that you can consciously use to boost your likability that I've never considered — time of day.
E. The twist was that some of these speeches were given at the eye-wateringly early hour, and others at midnight.
AB. An experienced speaker surely knows how to work on his message and delivery to charm the sleepy audience.
How charismatic are you?
People often think of charisma(个人魅力) as a gift some have and others don't. I've tried to dismiss that idea with a steady stream of research and advice showing charm is a skill you can develop.
Over the years, I've shared tips from everyone from FBI agents to actors on how to tune up your charisma and win over others. ______77______ A new study recently published in Leadership Quarterly and written by its authors for the Harvard Business Review website changed that.
The researchers first rounded up a group of college students and asked them to fill out a questionnaire to determine if they're larks or night owls. Then 131 of these participants did a role play in which they pretended to speak at a graduation ceremony. ______78______
How did the timing of the speeches affect the students' charisma? When the researchers had independent evaluators rate the charisma of the speakers, they found that larks gave more inspirational speeches in the morning session and owls gave more inspirational speeches in the midnight session.
______79______ The researchers showed half-asleep listeners are far harder to charm — surprising no one who has ever tried to deliver an early morning lecture to college kids. Or, as the authors put it, “The passionate speeches of leaders are less effective when followers are tired and just do not want to hear it.”
______80______ But what should you do if you and your followers' biological clocks don't match? If you're half alive at 7 a.m. and they're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, whose state of mind should weigh heavier in the scheduling scales?
“Typically, a good approach is to avoid extremely early or late times, likely settling for roughly the middle of the day,” suggest the authors, though they add that “the exact time of day you select, of course, should be driven by your context.”
