22、After a breakup, you might think you’re doing fine until you hear a particular love song on the radio. No matter how much you’d like to stop thinking about your ex (前任), everything is a reminder of the relationship. So, is it possible to erase unwanted thoughts?
The short answer is: maybe. But whether it’s advisable to do so in the long term is a difficult question. In some situations, it makes sense to suppress these unwanted thoughts. In an exam or job interview, for example, you don’t want to feel distracted (分心) by the thought that you’ll fail. And there’s evidence that it’s possible to prevent these thoughts, said Joshua Magee, a clinical psychologist.
In a 2022 study, researchers showed 80 volunteers a series of cards showing different nouns. Each noun was repeated on five different cards. As they viewed the cards, the volunteers wrote down a word connected with each noun—for example, “road” in response to the word “car”. The researchers told the first group they had to think of a new word each time they were shown a card. The second group could repeat as many nouns as they wished. With this method, the researchers tried to emulate (模拟) what happens when someone hears that love song on the radio and tries desperately to think of anything other than their ex.
The results showed that when volunteers saw each noun for a second time, the first group took longer than the second group to come up with a new word—suggesting that their first response flashed into their mind before they replaced it. However, volunteers in the first group got quicker each time they viewed the same card, which showed that the thought they were trying to avoid was weakening.
However, other research suggests that avoiding thoughts can cause the opposite effect. When we hold back a thought, we’re making the thought more powerful by attempting to control it.
In the end, it might make more sense to be careful about these unwanted thoughts and simply wait for them to pass rather than avoiding them.
【1】Why does the writer mention “breakup” in Paragraph 1?
A.To offer a reminder of a bad relationship.
B.To show influence of unwanted thoughts.

D.To share a painful experience of a breakup.
【2】What does the underlined word “suppress” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Accept.
B.Organize.
C.Prevent.
D.Express.
【3】What can we learn from the 2022 study?
A.Unwanted thoughts can be weakened.
B.It makes sense to avoid unwanted thoughts.
C.People stay more focused without unwanted thoughts.
D.Avoiding unwanted thoughts causes the opposite effect.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A.Can we control our mind?
B.Should we mind unwanted thoughts?
C.Is it possible to avoid unwanted thoughts?
D.Is it advisable to erase unhappy memories?
23、Millions watch the Oscars every year, but I’m always interested in the Razzies (金酸梅奖), which recognize cinematic underachievement. For all the attention given to what we like, what we dislike can be just as important, interesting and empowering.
French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu saw dislike as snobbery (虚荣). He saw all judgments of taste, favorable or not, as performances of class. The rich could justify their place, he argued, by claiming to have more refined tastes. Knowing which literature or art to praise could signal to others their rightful place at the top of society. Oversimplified as his theory might be, it is not entirely wrong.
Furthermore, dislikes are often used as a way not to stand apart but to fit in. It means learning the unspoken rules of what’s OK to like or dislike, and to proclaim those likes or dislikes loudly for others to hear. When some of us swim against the social tide, we might be savvy (精明的) enough to label our likes as “guilty pleasures”, which both acknowledges the rules and apologizes for violating them.
In my research, though, I found that dislike isn’t just a form of snobbery.
We interviewed over 200 people, a diverse group in race, age, and social class. All the interviewees tended to actively dislike media content far more when they felt they couldn’t escape it. Many people can’t choose the radio station that’s playing at work, or what’s on TV at the bar. Moreover, some of us are subjected to more annoyance than others. Remote controls, for instance, have long been seen as a special right of dads, with women and kids given less power to change the channel. Everyone turns to media hoping for specific needs to be met, but those who have those needs realized less often are those who might dislike more often.
Therefore, speaking about dislikes is an act of resistance-a refusal to allow public space to be conquered by the media content that doesn’t connect.
Dislike can certainly transform into anger or hate, but it may also take a more playful form. Sometimes we could see people joyfully watch the object of their dislike and offer a commentary of criticism, instead of tuning out and turning off. Why? Reveling in dislike can help regain control in a world that overwhelms everyone with content. Keeping the despised shows at hand rather than avoiding them can help the dislikers speak up in the court of public opinion. Or some might enjoy their dislikes as a way to avoid ruining certain relationships. Many of us can probably relate to the experience of having a friend who insists we watch something against our will.
What if, rather than resenting the show or the person, we simply embrace it in all of its embarrassing glory? By all means, pay attention to the advice to “ignore the haters”. But a lot can be learned by listening to the dislikers.
【1】According to Paragraph 3, people label their likes as “guilty pleasures” when they ________.
A.take pride in their taste

【4】What message does the author try to convey in this passage?
A.Staying away from the haters is a sensible means to avoid trouble.
B.We are encouraged to launch debates over hot issues in public.
C.The media should aim to meet the needs of different groups of audience.

24、Bookstores are second homes for readers. Although many people can now buy books online, many readers still like the feeling in bookstores. They can touch the books and smell the print.
In China, there are many special bookstores. Sanlian Taofen Bookstore became the first 24-hour bookstore in Beijing at the beginning of April. Popular Holdings in Shanghai is a film-themed bookstore. It has film books and posters. Eslite Bookstore in Taiwan often has activities like talks with famous writers.
At the same time, bookstores outside China can be very colorful, too. Scarthin Books is a small bookstore in the UK. It sells new and second-hand books. There are more than100,000 books lying on the shelves of the store’s 12 rooms. Bart’s Books in the US is a good place to enjoy the sunshine while you are reading books. It’s an outdoor bookstore. Bookshelves are on the street. When the store is closed, people can still buy books. They just put money into the door’s coin box. Where can you find a cafe, bar and bookstore in just one place? The answer is probably El Pendulo in Mexico. Books line the walls of the store. On the second floor, visitors can order everyday meals in the cafe and drinks from the bar. In order to keep cool, there are green plants and trees inside. Does it look like a park?
