There was a farmer who 2 corn()all his life.Each year he took his corn to the market.Then each time his corn was chosen as the 3 and won first prize. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something 4 about how he grew it.The farmer 5 his seed corn to his neighbours. "How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbours?"the reporter asked."You know they are taking part in the 6 with you each year." “Why,sir,”said the farmer,“didn't you know?The7 picks up pollen(花粉)from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field.If my neighbours grow 8 corn,cross-pollination (异花传粉)will influence the quality of my corn..So if I want to grow good corn,I must9my neighbours grow good corn." The farmer knew 10 about the connection of life.His corn couldn't improve unless his neighbours'corn improved.As a great man says,"We make a living by what we 11 we make a life by what we give."We can't 12 without food,clothes,and many other things.However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get,13 by how much we can give others.

Many researchers agree that a meaningful life comes down to three factors:having long-term goals,believing that one's life matters,and feeling that one's life fits together and "makes sense". But we believe there is more to consider.Sometimes life enables us to experience small moments of beauty.When people are open to appreciating()such experiences,these moments may improve how they see their own life.We call this experiential appreciation(EA).EA is about the person feeling connected to events and being able to appreciate the value within the connection. It shows the discovery of and admiration for life's beauty. We recently set out to better understand EA in studies.We were interested in whether EA had something to do with general judgment of meaning in life.If so,it could be a factor for meaningfulness. In the first study,we had people rate()their support for different methods of reducing stress.We found that people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life's beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. In the next study,we asked people to rate the degree to which they agreed with various statements,such as"I appreciate the beauty of life"and"I appreciate little things in life"as well as other statements that related to the three factors and a general sense of meaning in life.Our results showed that the more people reported that they were"appreciating life"and its many experiences, the more they felt their life was valuable. In the following studies,we further looked at the connection between EA and meaningfulness. For example,we found that people who were asked to look back on the most meaningful event of the past week generally reported high EA in those moments. All the results proved our theory true.But putting it into practice can be difficult.Our fast- paced lifestyles fill the day with goals.We try to get the highest output both at work and in spare time.This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now.We should slow down and let life surprise us. 1.When were you most probably in the EA condition? A.When you made a travel plan for the coming holiday. B.When you hurried to serve the customers in the store. C.When you practised hard to become the best violinist. D.When you stopped to admire the roses by the roadside. 2.What can we learn from the studies mentioned in the passage? A.Thinking back to the past weakens our sense of meaning. B.Enjoying small things can influence our attitude toward life. C.Proper stress management is the key to living a satisfying life. D.Good judgment on beauty improves connections among people. 79 拔尖特训·英语（译林版）九年级上 3.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A.It is easier for results-driven people to achieve success. B.We often turn a blind eye to the present moment. C.A fast-paced lifestyle helps us reach our goals. D.Future life will bring us many more surprises. 4.创新考法行文方式)How does the writer prove their theory true? A.By showing study results. B.By giving study reasons. C.By listing study numbers. D.By giving study examples. 5.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To explain how to discover beauty in life.B.To introduce a new factor for a meaningful life. C.To discuss what the true meaning of life is.D.To compare different factors for meaningfulness. 四、根据首字母提示补全短文。（每空1分，共10分） 在“致敬国之脊梁”活动中，学生们深刻体会到“把个人理想融入国家发展”的奉献精神，也明白 了：真正有意义的人生，是为更宏大的目标而奋斗。 Huang Xuhua,a famous scientist in China,1.p away on February 6th,2025,in Wuhan.Huang was 2.k as the chief designer of China's first nuclear submarines( and had received many high honours.
