News podcasts give listeners a detailed insight into the news, all on their own time schedule. We’ve rounded up our top picks below to help you get stuck in.
Your Daily Drive
Available in most of the English-speaking world, “Your Daily Drive” is perfect for the relatively casual news fan who wants an overview of current affairs with their tunes. In other words, it’s basically a breakfast and/or drive time radio show. The news content is pulled together from The Wall Street Journal, NPR, PRI and local news partners, while the songs are based on your listening habits — your own personalised radio show!
Today, Explained
“Today, Explained” is Vox’s daily news explainer podcast. Hosts Sean Rameswaram and Noel King will guide you through the most important stories of the day. It is worth noting that it is a deeper analysis of the day’s news, picking up and more thoroughly exploring the stories behind the stories.
World Story of the Day
If you want to broaden your news diet a bit but you don’t have the time to be listening to long international feature shows, “World Story of the Day” is perfect, a sub-ten-minute daily news hit that brings a story from around the globe, generally — but not always — with a focus on what’s making international headlines.
The Globalist
If you’re looking for a serious international daily global news program to start your day, then “The Globalist” is a pretty solid recommendation. It offers a broad and informed overview of the day’s global news, including a review of Europeˈs front pages. Itˈs a relatively conventional 60-minute news show that you can listen to live at 7 am GMT/8 am CET, but all episodes are available for download globally.

What does it mean to live a good life? This question has been debated for centuries. In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice. But what if these aren’t the only options?
In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life. It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences. Sometimes they are neither pleasant nor meaningful. However, they are rarely boring or monotonous.
After all, both happy and meaningful lives can become monotonous and repetitive. A person with a steady office job, married with children, may be satisfied and find his or her life meaningful and still be bored. Also, the psychologically rich life doesn’t necessarily involve economic richness. For instance, consider Hesse’s character Goldmund, who has no money but pursues the life of a free spirit.
Research has found psychological richness is related to, but partially distinct from, both happy and meaningful lives. Psychological richness is related with openness to experience and experiencing both positive and negative emotions more intensely. But is the psychologically rich life one that people actually want?
In a new study, Oishi and his colleagues asked people in nine countries the degree to which they value a psychologically rich life, a happy life and a meaningful life. They found many people’s self-described ideal lives involve psychological richness. When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany.
These numbers went up when the desire for a psychologically rich life was measured indirectly. To understand what a person wishes their lives might have been, it is important to explore what people wish they had avoided in their lives. When asked what they regret most and whether undoing this event would have made their lives happier, more meaningful or psychologically richer, about 28% of Americans said undoing the regrettable event would have made their lives psychologically richer.
These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence.
As Oishi and his colleagues conclude, “We believe that taking the psychologically rich life seriously will deepen and enrich our understanding of well-being.” At the end of the day, there is no one singularly acceptable path to the good life. You have to find a path that works best for you.
4. According to the passage, the psychologically rich life _______.
A. means living a luxurious life
B. involves various intense emotions
C. combines pleasure with purpose
D. emphasizes openness and repetition
5. What does Oishi’s research indicate?
A. The Germans prefer psychological richness to a happy life.
B. Undoing regrettable events has enriched many people’s lives.
C. A hidden desire for psychological richness exists among some people.
D. People with psychological richness tend to describe their lives as ideal.
6. We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. purpose outweighs pleasure in terms of significance
B. the choice of a good life differs from person to person
C. a positive mindset helps us understand our well-being
D. we should never be content and always strive for the best
7. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To compare different concepts of a good life.
B. To explain how to live a psychologically rich life.
C. To persuade people to attain psychological richness.
D. To draw attention to a less familiar version of a good life.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章提出除了传统观念的好的生活之外,另一种好生活——心理丰富的生活应该得到关注。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences.”(它充满了复杂的心理参与,广泛的强烈和深刻的情感,以及多样的、新奇的、惊奇的和有趣的体验。)可知,心理丰富的生活包含了各种强烈的情感。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据倒第二段“These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence.”(这些发现表明,虽然大多数人努力让自己快乐,让自己的生活有意义,但仍有相当数量的人仅仅满足于心理上丰富的生活。)可知,Oishi的调查显示在一些人当中,隐藏着一种对心理丰富的渴望。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句“When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany.”(然而,当被迫选择一种生活时,大多数人选择了幸福的生活和有意义的生活。即便如此,仍有一小部分人青睐心理富裕的生活,从新加坡的6.7%到德国的16.8%不等。)可知,对于好的生活的选择因人而异。故选B。
4.推理判断题。文章第一段中提出问题“What does it mean to live a good life? ”(过好生活意味着什么?)并指出“In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice.”(在心理学领域,关于美好生活的两个主要概念一直很流行:一个是充满快乐和积极情绪的幸福生活,一个是充满目标和牺牲的有意义的生活。)然后提出问题“But what if these aren’t the only options?”(但如果这些不是唯一的选择呢?)所以文章的目的是想提出一种不与传统概念相同的另一种好的生活的选择,并在第二段中提出“In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life.”(近年来,一个长期被忽视的美好生活的版本越来越受到关注:心理丰富的生活。)可知这篇文章的主要目的是让人们注意到不太熟悉的美好生活。故选D。
C
In Jakarta, apart from the narrow, unpaved road, the two-meter-high concrete coastal wall is the only thing that separates Susan’s small restaurant from the sea. Her family depends on that wall. Growing up here, Susan used to play on the beach in front of her house. But by the 2000s the beach had disappeared, and the sea frequently flooded the neighborhood.
In 2002, the government built the coastal wall, to give the residents peace of mind and time-a respite (暂缓) from the steady sinking of the land under the city and the steady rising of the sea. But just five years later, in 2007, the wall proved no match for the worst floods in Jakarta’s modern history.
Jakarta is now sinking at a truly alarming rate-a rate that varies around the city but is up to 11 inches a year in the northern areas. About 40 percent of Jakarta is below sea level. By comparison, climate change is raising sea level by only less than an inch a year. But sinking land and rising sea both point toward the same outcome: regular flooding in Jakarta. “Jakarta is the center of administration, economy, culture, and entertainment. Over the years Jakarta has grown into a big city with no environmental support system.” says Andy, a lecturer at the University of Indonesia. Ultimately that’s why it is sinking today.
The situation is one reason the government announced that the nation’s capital would be moved away to a new city to be built on Borneo, which is now forest. But local communities aren’t so happy with the plan. They fear the project would destroy their land, forest, and livelihoods. In Jakarta, on the other hand, those who welcome the decision arguing that it will ease Jakarta’s burdens of crowding and pollution.
But as the government leaves the sinking capital, what is to become of the 10 million people like Susan who still live there?
8. What is the function of the coastal wall?
A. To prevent the land from sinking.
B. To keep the residents from floods.
C. To stop the steady rising of the sea.
D. To restore the beach for the residents.
9. What can we learn about the floods from Paragraph 3?
A. The floods were caused by nature and humans.
B. Climate change is the primary cause of the floods.
C. The rise of the sea level is the outcome of regular flooding.
D. The economic development has a great impact on the floods.
10. What can be learned from the passage about Jakarta?
A. It is no longer the nation’s capital now.
B. It is an underdeveloped city with a large population.
C. Its residents suffer a lot from the plan of the government.
D. Its measures to protect the environment are far from satisfactory.
11. What is the author’s attitude to the plan of the government?
A. Intolerant.
B. Supportive.
C. Worried.
D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了雅加达面临土地不断下沉和海平面不断上升的问题,介绍了政府准备采取的措施和影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But by the 2000s the beach had disappeared, and the sea frequently flooded the neighborhood.(但到了21世纪初,海滩已经消失了,海水经常淹没这个社区)”和第二段中“In 2002, the government built the coastal wall, to give the residents peace of mind and time-a respite (暂缓) from the steady sinking of the land under the city and the steady rising of the sea.(2002年,政府修建了这道海堤,给居民们带来心灵上的平静和时间上的安宁——让他们暂时免受城市地下土地不断下沉和海平面不断上升的影响)”可推知,海堤的作用是让居民免受洪水侵袭。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“By comparison, climate change is raising sea level by only less than an inch a year. But sinking land and rising sea both point toward the same outcome: regular flooding in Jakarta. “Jakarta is the center of administration, economy, culture, and entertainment. Over the years Jakarta has grown into a big city with no environmental support system.” says Andy, a lecturer at the University of Indonesia. Ultimately that’s why it is sinking today.(相比之下,气候变化每年只使海平面上升不到一英寸。但下沉的陆地和上升的海平面都指向同样的结果:雅加达经常发生洪水。“雅加达是行政、经济、文化和娱乐的中心。多年来,雅加达已经发展成为一个没有环境支持系统的大城市。”印尼大学讲师安迪说。最终,这就是它今天下沉的原因)”可推知,从第三段我们可以知道洪水是由自然和人为造成的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The situation is one reason the government announced that the nation’s capital would be moved away to a new city to be built on Borneo, which is now forest. But local communities aren’t so happy with the plan.(这种情况是政府宣布将首都迁往婆罗洲的一个新城市的原因之一,婆罗洲现在是森林。但当地社区对该计划并不满意)”可知,雅加达保护环境的迁都措施远不能令人满意。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But as the government leaves the sinking capital, what is to become of the 10 million people like Susan who still live there?(但是,随着政府撤离这座正在下沉的首都,像苏珊这样仍住在那里的1000万居民将何去何从?)”可推知,作者对于政府的迁都计划感到担忧。故选C项。
D
Cathy Winston is a sports nutritionist. Among her regulars are athletes. Cathy thrives on the variety, with each new sport providing new challenges and a renewed appreciation of her chosen field of expertise. In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist. “You have to understand nutrition and people, and then you can begin to work in this field,” she says. “Besides, in tennis you must learn to be reactive, because you don’t know how long the match lasts. However, it’s 90 minutes in football so you know what you’re fueling for.”
Regardless of the sport, Cathy’s attitude remains the same: Any athlete failing to respect nutrition is one who is failing to fulfill their potential. It’s a key part of the training process. It’s not just something that you take casually. She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment. “Just as you wouldn’t forget to put your shin pads (护腿板) or your boots in your kit bag, don’t forget to put in your drinks and your snacks. That informs how well you train, because you can’t get out if you haven’t put in.”
Nutritionists are sometimes unfairly represented as militant (斗志昂扬的) types telling what athletes can and can’t eat. But Cathy insists that when to eat is more important than what. “It’s about when’s the right time to have it in,” she says. It’s a message that Cathy says can take a while to sink in. “A lot of boxers say, ‘but bananas make you fat, right?’, and there’s this inherent belief that we mustn’t eat those kinds of things. But it’s not about what to cut out. It’s about making sure that you’ve got the foundation right for health and performance. It’s that one size fits one. It’s what works for you. To be an excellent athlete, you really need to be an exceptional eater.”
12. What does Cathy think about her job?
A. It hardly faces new challenges in every competition.
B. It mainly focuses on the duration of matches.
C. It merely needs to understand nutrition and people.
D. It highly values experience and flexibility.
13. How does Cathy emphasize the importance of nutrition to athletes?
A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing a phenomenon.
C. By telling a story. D. By providing data.
14. According to Cathy, what is a fundamental principle behind successful sports nutrition?
A. Focusing on the timing of the diet.
B. Cutting out specific foods from the diet.
C. Following a strict and militant diet plan.
D. Increasing the variety of foods.
15. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Food has a say in the sports field.
B. Nutritionists act as unsung heroes behind athletes.
C. Nutrition determines the results in the competition.
D. A good eater is a great athlete.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】

However, it’s 90 minutes in football so you know what you’re fueling for.”(此外,打网球你必须学会反应,因为你不知道比赛要持续多久。然而,足球比赛是90分钟,所以你知道你要为什么加油)可推知,Cathy认为她的工作需要经验丰富和灵活性,故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment.‘Just as you wouldn’t forget to put your shin pads(护腿板) or your boots in your kit bag, don’t forget to put in your drinks and your snacks”(就像你不会忘记把护腿板或靴子放在你的装备包里,也不要忘记放入你的饮料和零食。)可推知,Cathy通过比较的方式强调营养的重要性,故选A。
【14题详解】

三、阅读七选五:本题共5小题,共12.5分。
Poor Sleep and Loneliness: A Vicious Cycle?
The feeling of being lonely is the sense that you have less social contact with others than you want. It is not quite the same as the amount of social contact you have. Some people don’t engage that often with others, but they are perfectly fine with that, and so they don’t feel alone. ____16____ Being lonely is associated with poorer psychological health.
One area of research has focused specifically on the relationship between loneliness and sleep. There are several inter-related questions: Is feeling lonely related to the quality of people’s sleep? What aspects of sleep are related to loneliness? And does loneliness cause sleep problems, or do difficulties with sleeping lead to feelings of loneliness? ___17___
The relationship between loneliness and sleep was explored in a paper by Melanie Hom and Caol Chu in the September 2020 issue of Clinical Psychological Science. They analyzed the data of previous studies relating sleep quality to feelings of loneliness. ____18____ This relationship is stronger for insomnia (失眠症) than for sleep complaints like nightmares. In addition, the more loneliness people express, the less effective they think their sleep is.
Although poor sleep and loneliness are closely related, it is hard to determine whether loneliness causes sleep difficulties or the reverse (相反).
___19___ It is because you can look to see whether sleep difficulties at one time predict later feelings of loneliness or whether loneliness early on predicts later sleep difficulties. Interestingly, sleep problems predicted later loneliness and loneliness predicted later sleep difficulties. However, the connection between earlier sleep difficulties and later loneliness was generally stronger than that between earlier loneliness and later sleep difficulties. This pattern suggests that there may be a vicious cycle, though, in which poor sleep can increase feelings of loneliness, which can in turn increase sleep difficulties.
If you are someone who has trouble sleeping, be aware that poor sleep lowers your resilience (复原力) overall. Among other things, it may make it harder for you to appreciate the social contacts you have. ____20____ That added social engagement just might have a positive impact on your future sleep.
A. Long-term studies that follow the same people over time help.
B. If you have difficulty in social engagement, you may feel lonely.
C. Other people may spend a lot of time with others, but still long for more.
D. These issues are important because poor sleep can affect psychological health.
E. To solve the problem, you should monitor your sleeping quality and physical health.
F. If you have trouble sleeping, try spending more time reaching out to friends and loved ones.
G. The results indicate that the more sleep difficulties people express they have, the lonelier they feel.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对失眠和孤独之间的联系进行了研究,并且提出了如何解决此问题的建议。
【详解】1.根据前文“It is not quite the same as the amount of social contact you have. ”(这和你拥有的社会联系的数量是不一样的。)可知,下文应分别陈述不同的人对社交量的需求。根据前文“Some people don’t engage that often with others, but they are perfectly fine with that, and so they don’t feel alone.”(有些人并不经常与他人交往,但他们对此完全没有问题,所以他们并不感到孤独。)可推知,设空处应陈述与之相反的情况。选项C(有些人可能花很多时间与他人在一起,但仍然渴望更多)切合文意,选项中的other people对应上文的some people。故选C。
2.根据第二段第一句“One area of research has focused specifically on the relationship between loneliness and sleep”(其中一个研究领域专门关注孤独和睡眠之间的关系)可知,第二段主要是讲孤独和睡眠的关系,对应选项C中的poor sleep can affect psychological health。所以选项C(这些问题很重要,因为睡眠不好会影响心理健康。)切合文意,且选项中的These issues对应前文中提到的三个问题。故选D。
3.根据前文“They analyzed the data of previous studies relating sleep quality to feelings of loneliness. ”(他们分析了之前有关睡眠质量与孤独感的研究数据。)可推知,设空处应陈述他们分析数据得出的结果,所以选项G(研究结果表明,人们表现出的睡眠问题越多,他们就会感到越孤独。)切合文意,选项中的The results对应上文的analyzed。故选G。
4.后文“ It is because you can look to see whether sleep difficulties at one time predict later feelings of loneliness or whether loneliness early on predicts later sleep difficulties. ”(这是因为你可以看一段时间的睡眠困难是否预示着以后的孤独感,或者早期的孤独是否预示着以后的睡眠困难。)表明这是长期的对相同的人的研究,所以选项A(长期跟踪同一批人的研究会有所帮助。)切合文意。故选A。
5.根据前文“If you are someone who has trouble sleeping, be aware that poor sleep lowers your resilience (复原力) overall. Among other things, it may make it harder for you to appreciate the social contacts you have.”(如果你有睡眠问题,要注意睡眠会降低你的复原力。此外,它会让你很难享受你所拥有的社会联系)和下文“ That added social engagement just might have a positive impact on your future sleep.”(增加社交活动可能会对你未来的睡眠产生积极影响。)可推知,设空处应陈述解决这种问题的方法。所以选项F(如果你有睡眠问题,试着花更多的时间联系朋友和爱人。)切合文意,下文的that对应选项中的try spending more time reaching out to friends and loved ones.。故选F。

I looked down and immediately _____30_____ it, as the ground seemed so far away.
I _____31_____, trying to steady my breathing. I knew I had two choices: give up or keep going. I chose the latter. Slowly, I _____32_____ upward. The higher I climbed, the more my confidence grew.

【导语】本文为一篇说明文,主要讲的是越来越多的人买国内产品,因为国内产品价格合适,并且质量好。买国内产品不仅能满足消费者的需求,并能将中国文化融入到产品中。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:在去年的双十一购物狂欢中,国内品牌塞满了Wang Xinyi的购物车,Wang Xinyi是来自中国西南部重庆的一名大学生。根据句子分析可知,domestic brands为主语,此空为谓语动词,时间状语为“At last year’s Singles’ Day shopping spree”,为过去的时间,故用一般过去时,空格处是过去式,故填filled。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:句意:在去年的双十一购物狂欢中,国内品牌塞满了Wang Xinyi的购物车,Wang Xinyi是来自中国西南部重庆的一名大学生。根据句子分析可知,student为可数名词,且此处表泛指“一个学生”,university的音素是以辅音开头,故用冠词a,故填a。
【38题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意:“我们大多数人选择国货是因为它们性价比高,质量好”,Wang Xinyi说,他在上周的购物节期间购买了当地品牌的日用品、衣服和数码产品。根据句子分析可知,抽象名词the fact后跟同位语从句,进一步解释说明the fact的具体内容,从句不缺成分,意思完整,故用that引导,故填that。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:“我们大多数人选择国货是因为它们性价比高,质量好”,Wang Xinyi说,他在上周的购物节期间购买了当地品牌的日用品、衣服和数码产品。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词Wang是人,因此空格处用关系代词who,故填who。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:Wang Xinyi说,许多中国年轻人越来越多地选择国产品牌,并补充说这一趋势不仅能满足消费者的需求,还能将中国传统文化融入到产品中。根据句子分析可知,many young Chinese做主语,chose为谓语动词,故此空用副词increasingly作状语修饰动词chose,故填increasingly。
【41题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:Wang Xinyi说,许多中国年轻人越来越多地选择国产品牌,并补充说这一趋势不仅能满足消费者的需求,还能将中国传统文化融入到产品中。根据句子分析可知,非谓语动词add与Wang之间为主动关系,故用现在分词做状语,表主动,故填adding。
【42题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:年轻顾客比其他人对国内产品有更强的信心,并且有高的国家认同感。根据空后的“and a higher sense”可知,and连接前后相同的比较级,故此空也应用形容词比较级,故填stronger。
【43题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:总的来说,与十年前相比,中国人对国内品牌的兴趣增加了528%。根据句子分析可知,空处需填非谓语动词,Chinese people’s interest和compare为逻辑动宾关系,需用过去分词形式表被动。故填compared。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:质量的提高以及品牌化促进了国内产品的发展。空格处应用名词improvement作主语,由后面的have可知,空格处用复数,故填improvements。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:此外,国产品牌因其对中国传统元素和文化的创新运用而受到年轻消费者的欢迎。根据空后的名词use可知,此空应填形容词innovative作定语修饰名词,innovative意为“创新的”,故填innovative。

I have spent my whole life as a teacher—first teaching at a high school and for the past 50 years working as a speaker and trainer in the human development field. I am often on the road three weeks out of every month flying from city to city to conduct one-day workshops and week-long training sessions. In other words, I have almost no time for other things.
I learned early on that if you want a concept or principle to be remembered, you must illustrate it with a moving story. So I had always collected and used a lot of stories to drive home the points I was teaching in my seminars(研讨会)about the importance of acting from love, believing in yourself and your dreams, always following your heart, trusting your intuition(直觉), setting high goals, overcoming obstacles, and never ever giving up on your dreams.
Two years ago, a strange thing happened. One day, out of the blue, someone asked me, “Is that story you told about the Girl Scout who sold 3,526 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies in one year in a book anywhere? My daughter needs to read it.” The very next day someone asked, “That story about the boy and the puppy—is that in a book anywhere? I need to read it to my son.” It continued day after day for the next month. “I need to read that story about the boy with one leg who became a star to my staff. I need to show them that they really have no excuses not to excel in life.” “Is that story you told about the boy who was burned in the motorcycle accident in a book anywhere? I want to send it to my son in college.” Day after day I was asked the same question— “Is that story in a book anywhere?”
I was busy with work. I had countless stories, but they were all over the place, in my head or on old notes. I knew I couldn’t meet these demands while keeping up with my teaching.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One evening, an idea suddenly struck me. Why not compile these powerful stories into a book? Although I was occupied with my teaching career, I realized the significance of sharing these stories in a more accessible way. I decided to spare some time each day to sort out the stories. I gathered all my old notes and spent hours recalling the details of each story from my memory. It was a challenging task, but the thought of helping others with these inspiring stories motivated me. I carefully selected the most impactful stories and arranged them in an engaging order.
When it eventually came out, the book became an immediate best-seller. People from all walks of life were attracted to these stories. Parents bought it to read to their children, hoping to inspire them with positive values. Teachers used it as a teaching resource in their classes. Employees found motivation in the stories to overcome difficulties at work. I received countless letters and emails from readers, sharing how the stories had changed their lives. I was deeply touched by these feedbacks and felt that all my efforts were worthwhile. It also made me realize that the power of stories is truly limitless.

News podcasts give listeners a detailed insight into the news, all on their own time schedule. We’ve rounded up our top picks below to help you get stuck in.
Your Daily Drive
Available in most of the English-speaking world, “Your Daily Drive” is perfect for the relatively casual news fan who wants an overview of current affairs with their tunes. In other words, it’s basically a breakfast and/or drive time radio show. The news content is pulled together from The Wall Street Journal, NPR, PRI and local news partners, while the songs are based on your listening habits — your own personalised radio show!
Today, Explained
“Today, Explained” is Vox’s daily news explainer podcast. Hosts Sean Rameswaram and Noel King will guide you through the most important stories of the day. It is worth noting that it is a deeper analysis of the day’s news, picking up and more thoroughly exploring the stories behind the stories.
World Story of the Day
If you want to broaden your news diet a bit but you don’t have the time to be listening to long international feature shows, “World Story of the Day” is perfect, a sub-ten-minute daily news hit that brings a story from around the globe, generally — but not always — with a focus on what’s making international headlines.
The Globalist
If you’re looking for a serious international daily global news program to start your day, then “The Globalist” is a pretty solid recommendation. It offers a broad and informed overview of the day’s global news, including a review of Europeˈs front pages. Itˈs a relatively conventional 60-minute news show that you can listen to live at 7 am GMT/8 am CET, but all episodes are available for download globally.

What does it mean to live a good life? This question has been debated for centuries. In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice. But what if these aren’t the only options?
In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life. It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences. Sometimes they are neither pleasant nor meaningful. However, they are rarely boring or monotonous.
After all, both happy and meaningful lives can become monotonous and repetitive. A person with a steady office job, married with children, may be satisfied and find his or her life meaningful and still be bored. Also, the psychologically rich life doesn’t necessarily involve economic richness. For instance, consider Hesse’s character Goldmund, who has no money but pursues the life of a free spirit.
Research has found psychological richness is related to, but partially distinct from, both happy and meaningful lives. Psychological richness is related with openness to experience and experiencing both positive and negative emotions more intensely. But is the psychologically rich life one that people actually want?
In a new study, Oishi and his colleagues asked people in nine countries the degree to which they value a psychologically rich life, a happy life and a meaningful life. They found many people’s self-described ideal lives involve psychological richness. When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany.
These numbers went up when the desire for a psychologically rich life was measured indirectly. To understand what a person wishes their lives might have been, it is important to explore what people wish they had avoided in their lives. When asked what they regret most and whether undoing this event would have made their lives happier, more meaningful or psychologically richer, about 28% of Americans said undoing the regrettable event would have made their lives psychologically richer.
These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence.
As Oishi and his colleagues conclude, “We believe that taking the psychologically rich life seriously will deepen and enrich our understanding of well-being.” At the end of the day, there is no one singularly acceptable path to the good life. You have to find a path that works best for you.
4. According to the passage, the psychologically rich life _______.
A. means living a luxurious life
B. involves various intense emotions
C. combines pleasure with purpose
D. emphasizes openness and repetition
5. What does Oishi’s research indicate?
A. The Germans prefer psychological richness to a happy life.
B. Undoing regrettable events has enriched many people’s lives.
C. A hidden desire for psychological richness exists among some people.
D. People with psychological richness tend to describe their lives as ideal.
6. We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. purpose outweighs pleasure in terms of significance
B. the choice of a good life differs from person to person
C. a positive mindset helps us understand our well-being
D. we should never be content and always strive for the best
7. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To compare different concepts of a good life.
B. To explain how to live a psychologically rich life.
C. To persuade people to attain psychological richness.
D. To draw attention to a less familiar version of a good life.

In Jakarta, apart from the narrow, unpaved road, the two-meter-high concrete coastal wall is the only thing that separates Susan’s small restaurant from the sea. Her family depends on that wall. Growing up here, Susan used to play on the beach in front of her house. But by the 2000s the beach had disappeared, and the sea frequently flooded the neighborhood.
In 2002, the government built the coastal wall, to give the residents peace of mind and time-a respite (暂缓) from the steady sinking of the land under the city and the steady rising of the sea. But just five years later, in 2007, the wall proved no match for the worst floods in Jakarta’s modern history.
Jakarta is now sinking at a truly alarming rate-a rate that varies around the city but is up to 11 inches a year in the northern areas. About 40 percent of Jakarta is below sea level. By comparison, climate change is raising sea level by only less than an inch a year. But sinking land and rising sea both point toward the same outcome: regular flooding in Jakarta. “Jakarta is the center of administration, economy, culture, and entertainment. Over the years Jakarta has grown into a big city with no environmental support system.” says Andy, a lecturer at the University of Indonesia. Ultimately that’s why it is sinking today.
The situation is one reason the government announced that the nation’s capital would be moved away to a new city to be built on Borneo, which is now forest. But local communities aren’t so happy with the plan. They fear the project would destroy their land, forest, and livelihoods. In Jakarta, on the other hand, those who welcome the decision arguing that it will ease Jakarta’s burdens of crowding and pollution.
But as the government leaves the sinking capital, what is to become of the 10 million people like Susan who still live there?
8. What is the function of the coastal wall?
A. To prevent the land from sinking.
B. To keep the residents from floods.
C. To stop the steady rising of the sea.
D. To restore the beach for the residents.
9. What can we learn about the floods from Paragraph 3?
A. The floods were caused by nature and humans.
B. Climate change is the primary cause of the floods.
C. The rise of the sea level is the outcome of regular flooding.
D. The economic development has a great impact on the floods.
10. What can be learned from the passage about Jakarta?
A. It is no longer the nation’s capital now.
B. It is an underdeveloped city with a large population.
C. Its residents suffer a lot from the plan of the government.
D. Its measures to protect the environment are far from satisfactory.
11. What is the author’s attitude to the plan of the government?
A. Intolerant.
B. Supportive.
C. Worried.
D. Indifferent.

Cathy Winston is a sports nutritionist. Among her regulars are athletes. Cathy thrives on the variety, with each new sport providing new challenges and a renewed appreciation of her chosen field of expertise. In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist. “You have to understand nutrition and people, and then you can begin to work in this field,” she says. “Besides, in tennis you must learn to be reactive, because you don’t know how long the match lasts. However, it’s 90 minutes in football so you know what you’re fueling for.”
Regardless of the sport, Cathy’s attitude remains the same: Any athlete failing to respect nutrition is one who is failing to fulfill their potential. It’s a key part of the training process. It’s not just something that you take casually. She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment. “Just as you wouldn’t forget to put your shin pads (护腿板) or your boots in your kit bag, don’t forget to put in your drinks and your snacks. That informs how well you train, because you can’t get out if you haven’t put in.”
Nutritionists are sometimes unfairly represented as militant (斗志昂扬的) types telling what athletes can and can’t eat. But Cathy insists that when to eat is more important than what. “It’s about when’s the right time to have it in,” she says. It’s a message that Cathy says can take a while to sink in. “A lot of boxers say, ‘but bananas make you fat, right?’, and there’s this inherent belief that we mustn’t eat those kinds of things. But it’s not about what to cut out. It’s about making sure that you’ve got the foundation right for health and performance. It’s that one size fits one. It’s what works for you. To be an excellent athlete, you really need to be an exceptional eater.”

Poor Sleep and Loneliness: A Vicious Cycle?
The feeling of being lonely is the sense that you have less social contact with others than you want. It is not quite the same as the amount of social contact you have. Some people don’t engage that often with others, but they are perfectly fine with that, and so they don’t feel alone. ____16____ Being lonely is associated with poorer psychological health.
One area of research has focused specifically on the relationship between loneliness and sleep. There are several inter-related questions: Is feeling lonely related to the quality of people’s sleep? What aspects of sleep are related to loneliness? And does loneliness cause sleep problems, or do difficulties with sleeping lead to feelings of loneliness? ___17___
The relationship between loneliness and sleep was explored in a paper by Melanie Hom and Caol Chu in the September 2020 issue of Clinical Psychological Science. They analyzed the data of previous studies relating sleep quality to feelings of loneliness. ____18____ This relationship is stronger for insomnia (失眠症) than for sleep complaints like nightmares. In addition, the more loneliness people express, the less effective they think their sleep is.
Although poor sleep and loneliness are closely related, it is hard to determine whether loneliness causes sleep difficulties or the reverse (相反).
___19___ It is because you can look to see whether sleep difficulties at one time predict later feelings of loneliness or whether loneliness early on predicts later sleep difficulties. Interestingly, sleep problems predicted later loneliness and loneliness predicted later sleep difficulties. However, the connection between earlier sleep difficulties and later loneliness was generally stronger than that between earlier loneliness and later sleep difficulties. This pattern suggests that there may be a vicious cycle, though, in which poor sleep can increase feelings of loneliness, which can in turn increase sleep difficulties.
If you are someone who has trouble sleeping, be aware that poor sleep lowers your resilience (复原力) overall. Among other things, it may make it harder for you to appreciate the social contacts you have. ____20____ That added social engagement just might have a positive impact on your future sleep.
A. Long-term studies that follow the same people over time help.
B. If you have difficulty in social engagement, you may feel lonely.
C. Other people may spend a lot of time with others, but still long for more.
D. These issues are important because poor sleep can affect psychological health.
E. To solve the problem, you should monitor your sleeping quality and physical health.
F. If you have trouble sleeping, try spending more time reaching out to friends and loved ones.
G. The results indicate that the more sleep difficulties people express they have, the lonelier they feel.

I have spent my whole life as a teacher—first teaching at a high school and for the past 50 years working as a speaker and trainer in the human development field. I am often on the road three weeks out of every month flying from city to city to conduct one-day workshops and week-long training sessions. In other words, I have almost no time for other things.
I learned early on that if you want a concept or principle to be remembered, you must illustrate it with a moving story. So I had always collected and used a lot of stories to drive home the points I was teaching in my seminars(研讨会)about the importance of acting from love, believing in yourself and your dreams, always following your heart, trusting your intuition(直觉), setting high goals, overcoming obstacles, and never ever giving up on your dreams.
Two years ago, a strange thing happened. One day, out of the blue, someone asked me, “Is that story you told about the Girl Scout who sold 3,526 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies in one year in a book anywhere? My daughter needs to read it.” The very next day someone asked, “That story about the boy and the puppy—is that in a book anywhere? I need to read it to my son.” It continued day after day for the next month. “I need to read that story about the boy with one leg who became a star to my staff. I need to show them that they really have no excuses not to excel in life.” “Is that story you told about the boy who was burned in the motorcycle accident in a book anywhere? I want to send it to my son in college.” Day after day I was asked the same question— “Is that story in a book anywhere?”
I was busy with work. I had countless stories, but they were all over the place, in my head or on old notes. I knew I couldn’t meet these demands while keeping up with my teaching.
