[话题 诺贝尔奖神经科学家坎德尔]
Imagine standing in front of a painting, its colors and shapes pulling you into a world of emotion and thought. What is happening in your brain at that moment? And how can these experiences shape your mental health? Eric Kandel, a Nobel Prizewinning neuroscientist, looks into these questions in his books, exploring the deep connections among art, neuroscience and psychology.
Specifically, Kandel emphasizes that art's meaning emerges from the interaction between the work and the viewer's brain. Each person brings his or her own memories, emotions and cultural context to the experience, making it deeply personal. This mirrors a cornerstone of mental health care: Therapy (疗法) must be tailored to the individual, just as two people may interpret the same painting differently.
When we experience art, multiple brain systems come alive. The visual and sensory systems decode colors and shapes. The limbic system (边缘系统), the brain's emotional center, stirs feelings like awe or sorrow. This multilayered engagement makes art uniquely positioned to influence mental health. For those with depression, art can help them reconnect with the world; for those processing trauma (精神创伤), it provides a safe space to explore difficult emotions.
Kandel highlights the shared principles of reductionism in art and science. Artists reduce complex ideas to essential elements, while neuroscientists break down brain processes into neural circuits (神经回路). This approach helps in mental health care: psychotherapy simplifies overwhelming emotions, and neuroscience informs targeted treatments. Engaging with art also stimulates neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to adapt — which is crucial for breaking rigid thought patterns caused by depression, anxiety or trauma.
The integration of art into mental health care is supported by Kandel's scientific framework. Art therapy, mindful observation of art and developing empathy through art are practical applications. Kandel's work reminds us that art is more than aesthetics — it is a window into the human mind and a powerful tool for healing.

[语篇解读] 主要介绍诺贝尔奖神经科学家坎德尔探究艺术、神经科学与心理学的关联,阐释艺术对心理健康的治愈作用与科学原理。
1.D [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“What is happening in your brain at that moment? And how can these experiences shape your mental health? Eric Kandel, a Nobel Prizewinning neuroscientist, looks into these questions in his books, exploring the deep connections among art, neuroscience and psychology.(那一刻你的大脑在发生什么?这些经历又如何影响你的心理健康?诺贝尔奖神经科学家埃里克·坎德尔在著作中探究这些问题,挖掘艺术、神经科学与心理学之间的深层联系。)”可知,开篇设问是为了吸引读者,引出艺术与大脑之间的关联话题。]
2.C [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Engaging with art also stimulates neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to adapt—which is crucial for breaking rigid thought patterns caused by depression, anxiety or trauma.(接触艺术还能刺激神经可塑性,即大脑的适应能力,这对于打破抑郁、焦虑或精神创伤造成的固化思维模式至关重要。)”可知,神经可塑性可被激活,进而缓解心理痛苦。]
3.A [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The integration of art into mental health care is supported by Kandel's scientific framework. Art therapy, mindful observation of art and developing empathy through art are practical applications.(将艺术融入心理健康护理得到坎德尔科学理论框架的支撑,艺术疗法、静心观艺、通过艺术培养共情都是实际应用方式。)”可知,作者对把艺术融入心理健康护理持支持态度。]

[话题 恰当拒绝的策略]
Saying no can be difficult for many people. __1__ However, learning how to say no and feel good about it is an important skill.Here are some strategies for actually doing it in a way that leaves us feeling good about our decision.
One of the most important aspects of saying no is being honest and direct in your communication. __2__ Being honest and direct in your communication helps to avoid misunderstandings and ultimately leads to better relationships.
Using “I” statements can help to take the focus off the other person's request.For example, rather than saying “I can't help you move this weekend,”you might say, “I need to take some time for myself this weekend and won't be able to help you move.” __3__
4__ For example, if a colleague asks you to take on an extra project, you might say, “I'm not able to take on this project right now, but I can provide support later.” Doing so helps to soften the blow of your no.Besides, it shows you're still willing to help.
Setting clear boundaries for yourself can make saying no much easier. __5__ Additionally, it prevents overcommitting and helps maintain a healthy balance in your life.
In conclusion, learning how to say no and feel good about it helps us protect our time and energy, prioritizes our own needs and desires, and maintains healthy boundaries.
A.It can feel uncomfortable and even guilty.
B.We can say no with confidence and peace of mind.
C.It helps maintain our physical and emotional wellbeing.
D.If you want to help, you can offer an alternative to the request.
E.Rather than skirting around the issue, simply state your reasons.
F.In this way, you can shift the focus onto your own needs and desires.
G.Knowing your priorities and limits helps you confidently decline irrelevant requests.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了对许多人来说拒绝很难,并给出如何恰当拒绝的策略,如诚实、直接沟通等。
1.A [根据上文“Saying no can be difficult for many people.(对许多人来说,拒绝可能很难。)”可知,拒绝别人对许多人来说很难,结合下文的“However, learning how to say no and feel good about it is an important skill.(然而,学会如何拒绝并对此感到坦然是一项重要的技能。)”可知,此处需进一步说明“难”的具体感受,且与空后为转折关系。A选项“It can feel uncomfortable and even guilty.(这可能会让人感到不舒服,甚至内疚。)”承接上文且与下文为转折关系,uncomfortable and even guilty,符合语境difficult。]
2.E [根据上文“One of the most important aspects of saying no is being honest and direct in your communication.(拒绝最重要的一点是在沟通中诚实直接。)”可知,此段强调“诚实直接”的原则。E选项“Rather than skirting around the issue, simply state your reasons.(与其回避问题,不如直接说明你的理由。)”与本段的主题一致,其中的“Rather than skirting around”与“being honest and direct”形成对比,“state your reasons”具体阐释“直接沟通”的方式,符合语境。]
3.F [根据上文“Using ‘I’ statements can help to take the focus off the other person's request.(使用‘我’语句有助于将焦点从对方的请求上移开。)”及举例“For example, rather than saying ‘I can't help you move this weekend,’ you might say, ‘I need to take some time for myself this weekend and won't be able to help you move.’ ”可知,此段说明“我”语句的作用。F选项“In this way, you can shift the focus onto your own needs and desires.(通过这种方式,你可以将焦点转移到自己的需求和愿望上。)”中的“In this way”指代上文“使用‘我’语句”进一步阐述“我”语句的作用,符合语境“shift the focus onto your own needs”解释其核心效果,与“take the focus off the other person's request”。]
4.D [此处为本段的主题句,根据下文“For example, if a colleague asks you to...you're still willing to help.”可知,此段建议在拒绝时提供替代方案。D选项“If you want to help, you can offer an alternative to the request.(如果你想帮忙,可以提供一个替代方案。)”中的“offer an alternative”直接概括例子中的应对方式,与下文的内容吻合,符合语境“soften the blow of your no(减轻拒绝的打击)”与下文“shows you're still willing to help(表明你仍愿意帮忙)”。]
5.G [根据上文“Setting clear boundaries for yourself can make saying no much easier.(为自己设定明确的界限可以让拒绝变得容易得多。)”可知,此段强调“界限”对拒绝的作用。G选项“Knowing your priorities and limits helps you confidently decline irrelevant requests.(了解自己的优先事项和界限有助于你自信地拒绝不相关的请求。)”中的“Knowing your priorities and limits”具体说明“设定界限”的内涵,“confidently decline”呼应“make saying no much easier”,进一步阐述界限带来的积极效果。]
