There the little prince met an old gentleman who was writing a big book. “What is that big book?” said the little prince. “What are you doing?” “I am a geographer,” the old gentleman said to him. “And I am writing about all the seas, mountains and deserts.” “That is interesting,” said the little prince. “So could you tell me something about your planet?” “I couldn't tell you,” said the geographer. “But you are a geographer!” “Exactly,” the geographer said. “But I am not an explorer. We don't have any explorers here. I don't go out to count the seas, mountains and deserts. Instead, I receive explorers from other planets in my study. I ask them questions, and I write down their answers.” The geographer's eyes suddenly shone with excitement. “But you... you come from far away! You are an explorer! You shall describe your planet to me!” “Oh, where I live,” said the little prince, “it is all so small. I have a flower on my planet.” “We do not record flowers,” said the geographer. “Why is that? The flower is the most beautiful thing on my planet” “We do not record them,” said the geographer, “because they are ephemeral.” “What does that mean... ‘ephemeral’?” “Geographies,” said the geographer, “are the books about eternal things. The thing that matters to us is the mountain. It doesn't change. But your flower is different. It will not last long. It is ephemeral.” “My flower is ephemeral,” the little prince said to himself, “and I have left her on my planet, all alone!” That was his first moment of regret(后悔) . But he took courage and asked, “What place would you advise me to visit now?” “The planet Earth,” replied the geographer. “I promise you will like it.” And the little prince went away, thinking of his flower. — The little Prince 44 What was the little prince doing?

Everything around you— from the ringing of phones to the people passing by—seems to be away. Most of us have had this experience at one time or another. This special state (状态) of mind is called “flow”. When it happens, we completely pay attention to what we are doing. We feel energetic, even excited about what we are doing. For example, when you are drawing, you might forget to eat dinner because you lose yourself in it. ① The idea of flow was introduced and first studied by psychologist (心理学家) Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi. According to his discovery, whether flow happens depends on the difficulty of the challenge(挑战) and our skill levels. For example, if the task is not very challenging and doesn’t need a lot of skills, we may feel bored towards it. But facing a challenging task without the required skills could easily cause worry. He finally drew the conclusion(得出结论) that when the challenge is high and we believe we have enough skills, flow happens. ② What advantages does flow bring? During flow, people can work faster and better. For example, artists said that they could produce more works easily “without putting in much effort” in the flow state. Flow can also make people more curious and creative because they have to look for new challenges and information to keep the state. ③ Flow often happens during creative activities and sports activities. But flow states aren’t just something experienced by artists, writers or sports persons. Flow can happen anytime a person is deeply lost in a task, including during learning activities. Many people want to achieve flow more often in their daily lives. While doing a task, having clear plans, adding something challenging and giving and receiving feedback (反馈) in time can help achieve flow. It’s more difficult to achieve flow if people’s attention is distracted (分散) , so it ’s necessary that smartphones, TV and other distractions get turned off. ④ ( ) 47. When people are in flow, they CAN’T ____________. A. forget the time B. hear the ringing of phones C. give full attention to their tasks D. feel excited about what they do ( ) 48. According to Csikzentmihalyi’s study, which diagram (示意图) shows the flow state? ( ) 49. Where can the sentence “With flow, people have greater levels of happiness and satisfaction in their activities.” be put in the passage? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ ( ) 50. Who can most probably achieve flow according to the passage? A. A runner who wants to win the first prize in an important race. B. An artist who is drawing an apple for his 10-year-old daughter. C. A chess player who doesn’t know what to do before competition. D. A student who is taking an exam when having a headache. 五、信息还原(共6分) Many students give more attention to their speech skills while failing to realize the value of listening. 51.In this article, I will explain why I hold this view and provide examples to prove my point.
