This is called getting in the flow (流动) and it helps you let go of any worries. Sometimes you can be so focused on what you’re doing that everything else seems to go away. Maybe you’re in a race and all you hear is your heart beating, or you’re so busy painting a picture you forget where you are. A psychologist (心理学家) named Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi called this being “in the flow”. It’s a happy, joyful feeling you get when focusing on something that’s challenging (有挑战性的) but fun. “Time flies,” Csikszentmihalyi said, and “every action, movement and thought” flows. “You are completely into it and trying your very best.” Csikszentmihalyi described flow as the secret to happiness. Focusing all your energy on doing something well makes you proud of your success, explains writer Kendra Cherry. It helps you think more clearly because you pay no attention to everything else. If you’re concentrating on a game of chess, for example, you’re not worrying about schoolwork or what other people think. This helps you manage your feelings and feel less stressed. Being in the flow also feels good because you’re doing something for yourself, not for a prize (奖品) or to make other people happy. Cherry says it can take 10 to 15 minutes of focusing your attention on something before you get fully into it. “Flow often happens when you’re doing something you enjoy and in which you are quite skilled.” she says, so pick a challenge that’s fun but you know you can do it, like solving a puzzle or drawing. Find a quiet space without any distractions (干扰) and away from phones. It also helps if you’re doing something because you want to, not because you have to. Start by practising with something you love, then try other things. Getting in the flow can make activities such as music practice or homework more enjoyable too. Cherry says. 29. What can we learn about the flow in the text? A. It happens when you are trying to be the winner. B. It happens when you are willing to do something. C. It makes you feel the thing you are doing is hard. D. It makes you feel that your time goes more slowly. 30. Which activity might help you get into the flow? A. Watching online short videos. B. Coloring your favorite picture. C. Listening to music while writing. D. Cleaning rooms because mom asks. 31. The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of ________. Finding the flow is different for each person, but there are small key things that can help you get there. A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 32. The purpose (目的) of the text is to ________. A. introduce the flow to readers B. tell the reasons behind the flow C. show the importance of the flow D. give some tips to get into the flow C Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you haven’t decided yet, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways. One of the greatest things about travelling alone is that you can make the rules about where to go and what to eat yourself. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence. Travelling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world. It’s easy to think that travelling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel—communicating with the locals and meeting travellers from all corners of the world. In fact, travelling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can—and often do—go wrong. One of the main advantages of travelling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom. Just as your mother always says, it’s true that travelling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station. There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you. 33. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage Paragraph 1? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By describing a scene. 34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Travelling alone. B. Inner strength. C. Outside influence. D. Travelling with others. 35. Travelling with friends has the following advantages except __________. A. sharing a lot of things B. knowing yourself better C. getting support easily D. having a sense of safety 36. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D “When I was 8, a doctor said that I wouldn’t live past 20. But now I’m here, at 29, happy with my life,” said Ma Jun. He is the youngest winner of the Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature in the prose category (散文类) in November, 2024. Ma uses a wheelchair because of illness. He was born in 1995 in Ningxia. His winning piece is his first prose collection, Qing Bai Shijie. He wrote it under the pen name Liu Kexing. There are five parts in the book, showing his life experiences: growing up, daily life, love and wish, feelings and reflections. Ma’s writing journey began in 2016, the year he did well in gaokao but chose not to go to university (大学). His parents couldn’t support both sons through university. So Ma made the decision to stay home, giving his younger brother a chance to go to university. “My brother was still young. I couldn’t stand seeing him sad,” Ma says. Luckily, after reading Shi Tiesheng’s book Wo Yu Ditan, Ma found a way for his life: writing. He started to think about following Shi’s spirit of perseverance (毅力) and creativity: He could do something meaningful (有意义的), like writing, instead of staying in bed letting life pass him by. He took a three-year journey of writing the book by recording his own life, putting his whole heart and soul into the words. And in the end, his book came out successfully. 37. What is Ma Jun’s book Qing Bai Shijie about? A. His hometown. B. His school life. C. His life experiences. D. His childhood friend. 38. Why did Ma Jun decide not to go to university? A. Because he didn’t succeed in gaokao. B. Because he wanted to focus on writing. C. Because his brother was too young and cute. D. Because his parents couldn’t support both sons. 39. What encouraged Ma Jun to start writing? A. Winning the Junma Awards. B. Reading Shi Tiesheng’s book. C. His brother’s encouragement D. His illness and wheelchair use. 40. In which part of a newspaper can you read the passage? A. Health. B. Sports. C. People. D. Travel. 第二节：阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 阅读短文，从文后A至F六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One day, a child looked up at the sky excitedly and said to his daddy, “Daddy, look up at the sky! What are those?

Jane Goodall was born on April 3, 1934, in London, England. When she was a little girl, she loved animals very much. Once, she even stayed in a hen house for hours just to watch how a hen laid an egg. Her parents were happy to see her love for nature and gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee.

But Jane didn’t give up. She sat quietly in the forest every day, watching them from far away. Slowly, the chimpanzees came close to her. She even gave them names like David and Goliath. Jane found many amazing things about chimpanzees. She saw that they used sticks to get insects to eat. Before that, people thought only humans could use tools. She also saw that chimpanzees loved their families. Mothers took good care of their babies, and chimpanzees played together like children. Later, Jane wanted to tell the world about chimpanzees. She wrote books and gave talks. She wanted people to know that chimpanzees are smart and need our help. Many forests where chimpanzees lived were cut down. Jane started groups to protect these forests and chimpanzees. Even when Jane was over 90 years old, she still worked hard for animals. She traveled around the world, telling kids to love nature.
