22、   When it comes to green buildings, we tend to think of new ones – the kind of high-tech, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. 【1】They are the witness of the country.

24、   Many of us just laugh it away when they are told incredible(难以置信的) stories about other people, but I have a deep interest in these stories and I prefer to believe they are true. Here’s one I collected from a total stranger.

“Well, I was 11 when my family arrived at Fern Lake overlooking Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was so beautiful to look miles across the Rockies and thousands of feet below into the valley. My parents were busy getting lunch out of the trunk so I climbed over the wooden fence to get closer to the cliff edge in the hope that I wouldn’t miss any beautiful sight down there.

I started down a little hill but soon started sliding on loose pebble rocks(鹅卵石). I fell on my back, but kept going faster and faster to what seemed the edge of the world (a 2,000 foot drop). In seconds I knew I was going to die. My feet and legs went first over the edge at a high speed. Then suddenly I felt two hands push hard on my chest and stopped me dead. My heart was racing and I slowly inched my body back to where I finally could make it back up the hill.

My father was waiting there and screaming at me for doing such a dangerous stunt (特技). I tried to tell him and my mom about the hands that held me back, but to this day they don’t believe me. They thought I was just trying to get out of trouble with a made-up story.”

We parted ways, but I assured her that I believed every word of her story. I could see a little surprise and happiness on her face.

That’s why I always ask people to share their miracles (奇迹). Each real story makes my days full of hope and gratefulness.

【1】The girl got closer to the cliff edge to ________.

A. take an adventure B. better enjoy the view

C. collect pebble rocks D. play a joke on her parents

【2】In the writer’s eyes, the girl ______.

A. made up an exciting story B. reached the bottom of the valley

C. enjoyed doing dangerous stunts D. was saved by a magical force

【3】The writer is interested in people’s miracle stories because they______.

A. are often told in an amusing way B. seem unbelievable but actually true

C. prove that life is full of miracles D. help him stay positive about life

25、   In interviews, famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to “do what you love.” But mastering a skill, even one that you deeply love, requires a huge amount of hard work.

Anyone who wants to master a skill must run through the ______ of practice, critical feedback, alteration, and improvement over and over. Some people seem able to concentrate on practicing an activity like this for years and ______ their gradual improvement. Yet others find it _____ to do this kind of focused, time-consuming work. Why?

The ______ may turn on the ability to enter into a state of “flow”, the feeling of being completely involved in what you are doing. Flow states can happen in the course of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at a(n) ______ skill level, and where the individual is able to ______ their performance to clear and immediate feedback.

Flow states turn the boring practice into an autotelic activity—that is, one that can be enjoyed for its own sake, rather than as a means to an end or for obtaining some ______ reward. Then how can we get into a flow state for an activity that we want to master, so that we enjoy both the ______ and the rewards?

Those who most ______ entered into flow states had an “autotelic personality”—a quality to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow. While those without such a personality see ______, autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills. Autotelic individuals are receptive, open to new challenges and also persistent. Such people, with an ability to focus on tasks rather than ______, have a great advantage over others in developing their inborn abilities.

____, for those of us who aren’t necessarily blessed with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be promoted by environmental factors. In particular, the learning framework ______ by Montessori schools seems to encourage flow states. In Montessori schools, learning comes through ______ rather than direct instruction and students are encouraged to develop individual interests. Competition is ______ and grading is de-emphasized, taking the focus off of external rewards.

While there isn’t (yet) a pill that can turn dull practice into an exciting activity for anyone, it is heartening that we seem, at least to some degree, to be able to push ourselves toward flow states.
