Not too long ago,on a cold winter night,there
was a teenager who wanted more screen time and a
parent who said no.The teenager was advocating for
her right to scroll (for an extra 30 minutes.
The parent argued that none of her friends'parents let
them have screens after 9 o'clock."I thought,in this
family,we don't compare ourselves with other people,
Dad?"the teenager replied.The parent-who was
me,by the way-just got served.Since they were
young,I have told my kids not to compare themselves
with other people.I have argued countless times that
comparisons are the“thief of joy'”.
Although my daughter didn't win,she did help
expose one of the worst pieces of advice I have ever
given.In my defence,I did what we've all done

record straight,which starts with questioning the idea
that all social comparison is unhealthy.
Social comparisons do,of course,often get us
into emotional trouble.But they can be harnessed(
for our betterment if we understand how they
work.The social comparisons we make-ones that
lead us to feel good or bad about ourselves-are vital
to our ability to thrive ()Science provides a
guide we can use to harness the way we perform these
comparisons to reduce their negative emotional
impacts.
Comparing yourself with someone who is
outperforming you could result in feelings of envy if
you focus on the things they have and you don't,or it
can be energizing and inspiring if you use these
comparisons as a source of motivation,for example,
“If they can achieve that,so can I.”Comparing
yourself with someone who is doing worse than you
could result in fear and worry if you think about how
you could fall into similar circumstances,or it can

draw out feelings of gratitude and appreciation if you
use that comparison to broaden your views-for
example,"Wow,things could be much worse;I'm
doing great.”
What I wish I taught my daughter earlier are
these nuances.How we feel about ourselves rests not
just on whom we compare ourselves with but also on
how we think about that comparison.That's something
we all have control over.
1.How did the author feel about his daughter's argument?
A.Excited.
B.Inspired.
C.Energized.
D.Relieved.
2.What does the word“nuances”underlined in
Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A.Major achievements.
B.Complex feelings.
C.Significant impacts.
D.Fine differences.

Healthy Habit

While safety improvements might have been
made to our streets in recent years,transport studies
also show declines in pedestrian(行人)mobility,
especially among young children.Many parents say
there's too much traffic on the roads for their children
to walk safely to school,so they pack them into the
car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te
Brommelstroet are bothered by facts like these.In
their new book Movement:How to Take Back Our
Streets and Transform Our Lives,they call for a
rethink of our streets and the role they play in our
lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades
ago.Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make
way for new road networks and kids had to play
elsewhere.Some communities fought back.Most
famously,a Canadian journalist who had moved her
family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign
to stop the destruction of her local park.Describing
her alarm at its proposed replacement with an
expressway,Jane Jacobs called on her mayor()
to champion "New York as a decent place to live,
and not just rush through."Similar campaigns
occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as
well.
Although these campaigns were widespread,the
reality is that the majority of the western cities were
completely redesigned around the needs of the motor
car.The number of cars on roads has been increasing
rapidly.In Australia we now have over twenty million
cars for just over twenty-six million people,among the
highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush
through,but we fail to account for the true costs.Do
we really recognise what it costs us as a society when
children can't move safely around our communities?
The authors of Movement have it right:it's time to
think differently about that street outside your front
door.
1.What phenomenon does the author point out in
Paragraph 1?
A.Cars often get stuck on the road.
B.Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C.People walk less and drive more.
D.Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
2.What were the Canadian journalist and other
campaigners trying to do?
A.Keep their cities livable.
B.Promote cultural diversity.
C.Help the needy families.
D.Make expressways accessible.
3.What can be inferred about the campaigns in
Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s?
A.They boosted the sales of cars.

What is adulthood?Societies all over the world
view the concept of an adult as self-supporting and
self-directed,because it identifies a point in the life
cycle.
As Alice Black points out,today's parents'fear
of letting kids do more housework has added to their
inability to feel competent and,thus,confident in
themselves.Psychologist Robert Turner wrote about
this in his book,The Life Cycle,mentioning a stage
when kids learn self-direction and mastery.1
But Turner's other cycles are just as important.
2 If these life cycles are delayed,interrupted,or
denied,you feel incapable of accessing your states of
self,controlling unpleasant feelings,and manipulating
(the energy that puts together the fabric of
your inner world.
Turner wisely said that "doing well"psychologically
is being able to roll with the flow of emotions,manage
them,communicate clearly and well with others,and
master various skills.This requires an internal locus
(of control,which implies self-control of your
thoughts,feelings,and actions.3 You're
B.They turned out largely ineffective.

self-directed and not reliant on the world to tell you
who you are.And you know who you are within all this.
So,being an adult isn't just holding a job.Being
an adult is about having a rooted sense of self while
being capable of identifying and managing your
emotions and actions.4 We are a social species,
so this is important.
While raising an adult is a parent's job,it's also
our responsibility as a society to ensure that we
support schools that nurture (emotional and
identity development.5
A.It's also our job to support adults who need help
repairing incomplete life cycles.
B.They talk about someone's inability to support
themselves through work.
C.It's being able to show understanding when
communicating with others.
D.In other words,you're playing the game of life-
life isn't playing you.
E.They teach emotional awareness and management
as well as identity.
F.You feel like an 18-year old,especially when
playing 80s music.

词前的“In my defence,I did what we've all done before,which is
repeat received wisdom”可知,作者认为自己所做的不过是人们之
前都做过的事一重复那些被一致认可的智慧之言。结合第三
段第二、三句“But they can be harnessed(利用)for our betterment if
we understand how they work.The social comparisons we make-ones
that lead us to feel good or bad about ourselves-are vital to our ability
to thrive(成长).”可知,但如果我们了解社会比较的运作方式,就
可以利用它们来提升自我。我们所进行的社会比较一一那些让
我们对自己产生好感或反感的社会比较一一对我们的成长能力
至关重要。由此可知,并非所有的社会比较都是负面的,这些社
会比较对个人成长能力至关重要。由此可知,画线词所在句表示
重复那些被一致认可的智慧之言,而没有探究其中的细微差别。
由此可推知,画线词nuances应意为“细微差别”。故选D。
3A标题概括题【解析】通读全文可知,文章的主旨是“并非所
有的社会比较都是有害的,若对其运用得当,可促进自我提升”。

campaign to stop the destruction of her local park.Describing her

速公路,呼吁市长维护纽约宜居之地的城市形象。结合第三段最

20世纪70年代的澳大利亚。由此可推知,加拿大记者和其他活
动家试图保持他们城市的宜居性。故选A。
3.B推理判断题【定位句】Although these campaigns were
widespread,the reality is that the majority of the western cities were
completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car.The number
