Each country has its own secret to happiness. If “pyt”, which means “don’t worry about it
and stuff happens”, explains the relaxed attitude of Danish people, “niksen” will reveal how
Dutch people combat stress and burnout in a fast-paced lifestyle.
The term “niksen” origins from the Dutch word “niks”, which refers to “nothing”.
Mindfulness, another welcome subject to help people have a peaceful mind. But unlike
mindfulness, niksen is not about concentrating on the present moment. It’s about letting yourself
do nothing, and allowing your mind to run free without expectation.
In practice, this means “hanging around, looking at your surroundings, or listening to music
as long as it’s without purpose,” according to Time Magazine.
Niksen sounds contrary to the advice we were all given as kids. Nowadays, we’re constantly
told to stay busy and work harder than everyone else. But niksen opposes that mentality. It offers
the chance to “deliciously do nothing”, as Carolien Hamming, a coach at CSR Centrum, an
organization devoted to fighting stress and burnout in the Netherlands, told Time.
She thinks that niksen is essential to staying healthy, since it’s a form of mental relaxation
and healing. Just as a wild animal lies in wait for their prey, niksen seems to be a natural state of
being.
For some people, niksen can mean more than just stress reduction. It’s also a way to imagine
new ideas or plans. As an early adopter of niksen, Jenny Holden, a communications expert in the
UK, adds it to her daily lunch breaks. “Within 10 minutes of doing nothing – just staring and
listening to myself – my head began to clear and sort out my work and home to-do lists,” she told
the MetroUK.
Above all, niksen is a suggestion for balancing work and rest. As Dutch-born writer Ogla
Mecking wrote in US-based Whoolly Magazine, niksen is the “thorough enjoyment of life’s
pauses”.
Everyone is encouraged to embrace your niksen moments. They revitalize you and give you
the strength needed to face everyday challenges.
1. What does niksen means
A. Living in the moment. B. Being free and doing nothing.
C. Using your wildest imagination. D. Leading a healthy lifestyle.
2. Holden’s example is to show _____.
A. niksen can shorten the distance between people
B. how niksen improves one’s mental health
C. niksen is closely related to stress reduction
D. niksen helps people come up with new thoughts
3. The underlined word “thorough” is closest in meaning to _____.
A. long B. full C. unexpected D. quiet
4. What is the text mainly about
A. An introduction to the Dutch lifestyle.
B. Suggestions on how to balance work and rest.
C. The importance of allowing time to pause life.
D. An explanation of some Danish words about life attitudes.
【词汇积累】
1. combat v.对抗
2. burnout n.倦怠
3. contrary to...与...相矛盾
4. hang around 闲逛
5. heal v.治愈

7. mentality n.心态

most sentences, even when the words are in the wrong order.
This may have something to do with psychology. When we’re first learning how to read, we
read word by word. 2. _____________ People can read five to six words at one time. Also, as

（2016 全国卷 II，C 篇）
Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They
choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns
the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.
BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it
in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each
new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change
your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever
finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.
E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have
been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to
gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the
virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred
thirty-five countries. (247 words)
1. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce BookCrossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The book. B. An adventure.
C. A public place. D. The identification number.
3. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it
A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.
C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.
4. What is the best title for the text
A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A new Trend
C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through BooksUnit 2 Exploring English

Each country has its own secret to happiness. If “pyt”, which means “don’t worry about it
and stuff happens”, explains the relaxed attitude of Danish people, “niksen” will reveal how Dutch
people combat stress and burnout in a fast-paced lifestyle.
The term “niksen” origins from the Dutch word “niks”, which refers to “nothing”.
Mindfulness, another welcome subject to help people have a peaceful mind. But unlike
mindfulness, niksen is not about concentrating on the present moment. It’s about letting yourself
do nothing, and allowing your mind to run free without expectation.
In practice, this means “hanging around, looking at your surroundings, or listening to music
as long as it’s without purpose,” according to Time Magazine.
Niksen sounds contrary to the advice we were all given as kids. Nowadays, we’re constantly
told to stay busy and work harder than everyone else. But niksen opposes that mentality. It offers
the chance to “deliciously do nothing”, as Carolien Hamming, a coach at CSR Centrum, an

She thinks that niksen is essential to staying healthy, since it’s a form of mental relaxation

For some people, niksen can mean more than just stress reduction. It’s also a way to imagine

Mecking wrote in US-based Whoolly Magazine, niksen is the “thorough enjoyment of life’s
pauses”.
Everyone is encouraged to embrace your niksen moments. They revitalize you and give you
the strength needed to face everyday challenges.
1. What does niksen means
A. Living in the moment. B. Being free and doing nothing.
C. Using your wildest imagination. D. Leading a healthy lifestyle.
2. Holden’s example is to show _____.
A. niksen can shorten the distance between people
B. how niksen improves one’s mental health
C. niksen is closely related to stress reduction
D. niksen helps people come up with new thoughts
3. The underlined word “thorough” is closest in meaning to _____.
A. long B. full C. unexpected D. quiet
4. What is the text mainly about
A. An introduction to the Dutch lifestyle.
B. Suggestions on how to balance work and rest.
C. The importance of allowing time to pause life.
D. An explanation of some Danish words about life attitudes.

run free without expectation”可知，B 项正确。
2. D 判断推理题。根据第六段“It’s also a means to imagine new ideas or plans”可知，Holden
的例子是为了证明 niksen 有助于人们产生新的想法，故 D 正确。A 选项文章未提及；B 和 C
不是 Holden 的例子想表达的观点。
3. B 词义猜测。niksen 就是指让人们的精神达到一种自由放松的状态，完全放空自己，什
么也不做，故 B 选项符合文意。
4. A 主旨大意题。
文章介绍了 niksen 这一荷兰式的特色生活态度，及其带给人们的益处，故选 A。

【答案】 BDFAE
【文章大意】文章主要介绍了人们的阅读有时受心理暗示的影响，当我们有熟练的阅读能力
时，打乱字母或汉字的顺序并不一定会影响我们的理解。
1. B 根据第一段中“研表究明，汉字序顺并不定一影阅响读”中的前 4 个字顺序是错误的，
但这并不妨碍我们正确理解为“研究表明”，我们甚至都没有意识到这四个汉字的顺序是错误
的。故选 B。
2. D 根据下文中提到的 experienced readers，可知前文中应该有提及 experienced，只有 D 项
符合。故选 D。
3. F 当我们读到第一段中的汉字时，我们想当然地认为是“研究表明”，这就如同我们看
到一个有长发的人，想当然地认为是一名女子。故选 F。
4. A 这种情况不仅仅发生在汉语中，在其他的语言中也会出现。一名熟练的阅读者，即使
读到字母或汉字顺序混乱的句子，也会在脑海中自动形成顺序正确的句子。故 A 项正确。
5. E 根据下文 We cannot read them as quickly and efficiently as we read normal text.我们不能
像阅读正常的文本一样快速高效地阅读这些句子。可知，顺序混乱的句子还是会引起问题。
故选 E。

（2016 全国卷 II，C 篇）
Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They
choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns
the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.
BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it
in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each
new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change
your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever
finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.
E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have
been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to
gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the
virtual (虚拟 ). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred
thirty-five countries. (247 words)
