21、By now you’ve probably heard about the “you’re not special” speech, when English teacher David McCullough told graduating seniors at Wellesley High School: “Do not get the idea you’re anything special, because you’re not.” Mothers and fathers present at the ceremony — and a whole lot of other parents across the Internet — took issue with McCullough’s ego-puncturing words. But lost in the uproar was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they’re particularly talented or accomplished or not. In our eagerness to elevate their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities, a crucial requirement for getting better at anything from math to music to sports. In fact, it’s not just privileged high-school students: we all tend to view ourselves as above average.

Such inflated self-judgments have been found in study after study, and it’s often exactly when we’re least competent at a given task that we rate our performance most generously. In a 2006 study published in the journal Medical Education, for example, medical students who scored the lowest on an essay test were the most charitable in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. Poor students, the authors note, “lack insight” into their own inadequacy. Why should this be? Another study, led by Cornell University psychologist David Dunning, offers an enlightening explanation. People who are incompetent, he writes with coauthor Justin Kruger, suffer from a “dual burden”: they’re not good at what they do, and their very incapability prevents them from recognizing how bad they are.

In Dunning and Kruger’s study, subjects scoring at the bottom of the heap on tests of logic, grammar and humor “extremely overestimated” their talents. What these individuals lacked (in addition to clear logic, proper grammar and a sense of humor) was “metacognitive skill”: the capacity to monitor how well they’re performing. In the absence of that capacity, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities. There’s a paradox here, the authors note: “The skills that lead to competence in a particular domain are often the very same skills necessary to evaluate competence in that domain.” In other words, to get better at judging how well we’re doing at an activity, we have to get better at the activity itself.

There are a couple of ways out of this double bind. First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you yourself don’t possess it, and compare what you can do against what truly excellent individuals are able to accomplish. Second, seek out feedback that is frequent, accurate and specific. Find a critic who will tell you not only how poorly you’re doing, but just what it is that you’re doing wrong. As Dunning and Kruger note, success indicates to us that everything went right, but failure is more ambiguous: any number of things could have gone wrong. Use this external feedback to figure out exactly where and when you screwed up.

If we adopt these strategies — and most importantly, teach them to our children — they won’t need parents, or a commencement (毕业典礼) speaker, to tell them that they’re special. They’ll already know that they are, or have a plan to get that way.

D．tend to be very competent in judging their performance in their high-scoring fields.

22、Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. She says, “ While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can really cause physical changes in the brain.”

The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. With babies, even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician (儿科医生), believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies. “Babies need movement that stimulates their five senses. They need to establish a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to associate physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.

Older people can beef up (加强) their brain as well. Scientists from 11 universities studied a group of seniors ranging in age from 70 to 79. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should involve some complexity (复杂). Learning some new skills or motions, such as with yoga or tai chi, helps open up memory paths in the brain that may not have used for a long time.

For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as three hours of exercise a week.

【1】The passage is mainly about ________.

A．how to exercise

B．how exercise helps the brain

C．how to get good scores in a test

D．how the brain can change

【2】According to the passage, what is the connection between exercise and brain development?

A．Exercise makes us active

B．The brain needs special mental exercise

C．The more exercise, the bigger the brain

D．Physical exercise keeps the brain in a better condition.

【3】The least amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is ________.

A．Three hours per week

B．Forty hours per week

C．Three hours per day

D．Forty hours per month

【4】Why does the author think that yoga is fit for seniors?

A．It is easy to learn.

B．It can be done in groups.

C．It does not increase the heart rate.

D．It involves learning new motions

23、   Imagine this scene: it’s very windy outside, you’re snuggled up on the sofa under a warm blanket, chatting and talking about pleasant past events with your closest friends.

That comfortable feeling has a name in Danish—“hygge”. And, as Denmark recently won the title of ‘happiest country in the world’, the rest of the world is becoming more and more interested in finding ways to embrace this concept.

“Hygge”—originally from a Norwegian word meaning “wellbeing”—doesn't have an exact equivalent in English. It’s often translated as cosiness, or “cosiness of the soul.” But, as translator ToveMaren Stakkestad explains: “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”

Essentially, Hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving “hygge” is particularly relevant during this season. A typical “hygge” activity during winter could be, enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends – preferably in the warm glow of candlelight; or maybe sipping a glass of warm wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.

However, Hygge isn’t only limited to the cold winter months—it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on summer’s day or a family barbecue in the park.

“Hygge” is currently taking the world by storm with more and more people becoming obsessed with achieving a state of wellbeing. Articles, books and stocking fillers, full of tips on how to achieve hygge, are hitting the market. Although some believe this has become a marketing and advertising action, the benefits of staying happy cannot be underestimated. So, as the winter nights draw in, instead of hibernating, get into your favourite pajama, bake some cookies and lie down by a roaring fire with a good book. And if you can do this with friends and family, even better—hygge is meant to be shared.

【1】Why is it difficult to translate “hygge” into English?

A．There is no such concept in English.

B．Stakkestad hasn’t had this feeling.

C．It is to be experienced rather than talked about.

D．Only the Norwegians can get into this state.

【2】Which of the following is most likely to help one feel “hygge”?

A．Regretting poor decisions.

B．Selling tips on hygge in a market.

C．Cleaning homemade furniture.

D．Being in the company of friends.

【3】The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means ________.

A．violently attacking the world

B．increasingly successful in the world

C．endlessly repeating itself in the world

D．highly unpopular in the world

24、A lot of media attention has focused on the harmful effects of working long hours. Logging excessive hours at work is rooted in the work culture of the West. From Bay Area startups to various multinationals, their idea is centered around how many hours you can clock at work. It is assumed that the more hours you put into your job, the more career prospects you’ll get out of it.

A new study in Europe challenged this assumption, however. From their analysis of nearly 52, 000 people from 36 European countries, they concluded that it’s not the number of hours you clock at the office, but how intensely you work during those hours, that affects career-related outcomes. Researchers found people, with similar jobs and education levels, were more likely to suffer poorer well-being and inferior career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods. According to Hans Frankort, a senior lecturer in strategy at Cass Business School, the research suggests career benefits of excessive work effort-longer hours or harder work-may never materialize.

Employers should reduce work intensity rather than try to control excessive hours, the authors concluded. “Compared with overtime, work intensity predicts much greater reductions in well-being and career benefits,” Hans Frankort said.

There is also a range of things for employees to do to ensure they’re working smarter, and not just harder. Beth Belle Cooper, a former content creator at Buffer, the social media scheduling app, suggests taking more breaks to refresh your mind and reset your attention span. She also recommends taking naps to consolidate new information in the brain and help you avoid burnout. You might also consider completely unplugging from work more consistently, and for longer periods of time. This is what Sean McCabe and his small team does when they take a week-long vacation every seventh week.

【1】What is common in the work culture of western countries?

A．Having bright career prospects.

B．Spending long hours at work.

C．Starting up one’s own business.

D．Earning long paid days off work.

【2】What can be the effect of working intensely according to the text?

A．It leads to more career challenges.

B．It brings out greater promotion opportunity.

C．It reduces one’s work passion and efficiency.

D．It worsens one’s health conditions and job outlook.

【3】What is advisable to work smarter according to Sean Mccabe?

A．Requiring breaks occasionally.

B．Taking days off work regularly.

C．Catching up on sleep properly.

D．Refreshing one’s brain constantly.

【4】What does the text mainly intend to tell us?

A．Working intensively is necessary.

B．Working whole-heartedly is useless.

C．Working more diligently does more harm.

D．Working more wisely brings more benefits.
