How to Get the Most Out of Alone Time
Solitude is a state of being alone or away from others. It is distinct from loneliness, a feeling of emptiness or sadness arising from a perceived lack of desired connection with others. While we think of loneliness as a negative emotional state, solitude can be a positive and __11__ experience.
As social creatures, we are conditioned to live in groups and seek approval and belonging. If we spend too much time alone, we can become __12__ awkward, making it even harder to connect with others and get feedback from those around us. If you cannot be alone, you may stay in situations or make life choices that aren’t good for you in the long run, mainly because you can’t __13__ being alone while transitioning to a better situation.
Consider solitude a time for self-reflection, relaxation, creativity, and personal growth. It can allow you to focus on your thoughts and feelings, gain __14__ on personal challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Solitude can also be a way to __15__ and find peace amid the demands and distractions of modern life.
It’s essential to __16__ a balance between solitude and social interaction. Different individuals have __17__ needs for solitude, and finding the right amount that matches your well-being is essential for leading a fulfilling life. You’d better __18__ daily time for solitude. Plan some time to be with yourself daily to enjoy the benefits of solitude. For instance, at lunchtime, go for a walk by yourself and come back __19__. Be aware of self-judgments about taking time for yourself. Wanting to be alone can be seen as __20__ or anti-social; you should think about others and do things for them instead. Kindly challenge these self-judgments and respond to them with positive statements, like that taking time for oneself is essential for self-care and mental health.
II. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Our drive to seek out happiness is a muscle that we can exercise and develop. Almost anyone can learn to develop their reward sensitivity by __21__ themselves to notice and experience their positive emotions.
To raise your reward sensitivity, begin by planning one activity per day that will make you happy or give you a sense of __22__. It can be as small as treating yourself to a favorite snack or reading a few pages of a novel. This will make you less likely to __23__ positive experiences. After you’ve enjoyed that __24__ moment, close your eyes and recount out loud where and when you experienced the greatest joy. The idea isn’t just to remember how you felt, but to enhance and re-experience it, thus __25__ your memory of them, and increasing your motivation to seek them out going forward.
Here are some other adjustments you can make to develop a positive mind-set.
Expand your joy __26__: Research suggests that finding more words to describe positive emotions can prove and increase them. When reflecting on how something made you feel, try to be __27__, using words like calm, overjoyed, delighted, inspired beyond fine, good or great.
Share your highlight reel(高光时刻): __28__ what made you happiest can make you feel better. Spread that happiness to another person — and also strengthen a bond.
Find bright sides: With practice, it’s possible to __29__ the positives hidden in things that we might first see as negative. For example, if you invited co-workers to get together and only one person showed up, you could easily view that as a(n) __30__. But the bright side would be that you got to know that one person better.
Forecast future wins: If you’re tight scheduled, pick an event that’s approaching and think of the best possible __31__. If you’re tired, __32__ smiling at your friend across the room, feeling proud. Using imagery can encourage motivation and get you ready for more __33__ experiences.
Keep in mind, too, that it’s normal to feel __34__ with pleasurable feelings sometimes, particularly if you experience depression and anxiety. Worrying can make you feel like you’re ready to respond to threats — but by constantly __35__ disaster, we miss the happiness in front of us right now. Sometimes we need to behave like happy people if we actually want to be happy.

(A)
How much ongoing joy can you get from something that weighs eight ounces(盎司) For Simon Spichak, it’s a lot, thanks to a hedgehog that fits in his hand.
Mr. Spichak, a 29-year-old science writer who lives in Toronto, bought his new partner in May 2023 for $280 and named it Goober. He has spent an additional $200 on food, a wheel, bedding and toys, as well as $150 in their first year together to visit a veterinarian(兽医).
Goober has improved Mr. Spichak’s life in small and big ways, providing him with entertaining material to post to his social media accounts and helping to introduce him to some of his neighbors when he takes Goober around his block, where they’re met with delighted curiosity. “There are lots of people walking by from the neighborhood who start conversations because of the hedgehog,” Mr. Spichak said.
This is not an individual case.
Ritesh Seth, a human resources specialist in Columbia, Md., bought a solid brass, Italian-made coffee pot for $400, and said it had helped him expand his network at his co-working space. “Other business enterprises and start-ups who work out of the office space have noticed my coffee pot and out of curiosity come over to chat,” Mr. Seth, 38, said. “Usually, after the polite introductions, we discuss what product or project we are working on, find common business challenges, refer potential prospects and sometimes talk about sports.”
Millennials (born from 1981 to 1996) and Generation Z (born from 1997 to 2012) are more likely than older generations to make spending on nonessential purchases a priority, according to a study published last year by Intuit. The study suggested that this was because younger generations placed a high value on personal growth and mental happiness. While gym memberships or self-help books may be more obvious purchases for improving lives, less typical options, even unusual ones, can make a lasting difference by helping people find happiness and connect to new communities.
36. What did Goober bring to Simon
A. It inspired him to pursue a science writing career.
B. It helped him save money on veterinary expenses.
C. It enriched his social media and neighborhood connections.
D. It gained him fame by achieving recognition in the community.
37. With the coffee pot as ________, Ritesh expanded his network at his co-working space.
A. a conversation starter B. a marketable product
C. a pilot project D. a technical challenge
pared with older generations, Millennials and Generation Z ________.
A. spend more time on gym memberships and self-help books
B. prefer to spend on non-essential items for self-growth and emotional joy
C. favour financial security over personal development and mental happiness
D. show less interest in connecting to new communities through unique items
39. Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A. Business-Generation Tools B. Career-Pursuit Choices
C. Community-Service Pets D. Life-Improvement Purchases

Learning outcomes
This chapter gives you opportunities to:
understand what critical thinking is

recognize the personal qualities connected to critical thinking
recognize barriers to the development of good critical thinking skills

Introduction
This chapter provides a general introduction to critical thinking. It examines what is meant by “critical thinking”, the skills associated with it, and the barriers that can slow down effective development of critical approaches. Many people can find it difficult to order their thoughts in a logical, consistent and reasoned way. This book starts from the idea that skills in reasoning can be developed through a better understanding of what critical thinking involves, and by practice.
Critical thinking is a cognitive activity connected to using the mind. Learning to think in critically analytical and evaluative ways means using mental processes such as attention (concentrating on specific details and information), categorization (the process of organizing information into categories based on shared characteristics), selection (selecting relevant information), and judgement (the ability to assess and form well-reasoned conclusions or opinions based on available evidence). However, many people who have the potential to develop more effective critical thinking can be prevented from doing so for a variety of reasons apart from a lack of ability. In particular, personal and emotional, or “affective”, reasons can create barriers.
You are invited to consider, in this chapter, how far such barriers could be affecting your own thinking abilities and how you will manage them.
40. According to the learning outcomes, which of the following topics is most likely to be included in Chapter 1
A. Significant works in critical thinking
B. Teaching strategies for critical thinking
C. Critical thinking: individual or collective
D. Critical thinking: Where does it come from
41. What can a reader learn in this chapter
A. How a mental process works and what role it plays in making logical reasoning.
B. What defines cognitive activity and how emotions can shape critical thinking skills.
C. Why individuals possess varying abilities to think critically and how to assess them.
D. What is critical thinking and how it can be developed through understanding and practice.
42. Which of the following examples best illustrates the mental process of categorization
A. A student chooses articles that are related to his topic from a large database.
B. A student focuses on the main points the teacher emphasizes in a physics class.
C. A student sorts notes by grouping them according to different historical periods.
D. A student decides which arguments to include in his essay after weighing the evidence.
(C)
①I read “Middlemarch” in college. None in my class got it. Why would Dorothea make such a decision on her marriage “Trust me, you’ll read this book again when you’re forty, and you’ll say, ‘Oh, I see!’” our professor said.
②Yet there’s a theory behind the assignment of “Middlemarch”: knowledge acquired too early gets stored away. Patterns of thinking established now will be retraced later; ideas encountered first in art will prepare us for the rest of life. This sounds unclear, until you reflect on the fact that you take a class in law school today only to argue a complicated case years later. Knowledge must often molder in our mental warehouses for decades until we figure out what to do with it.
③Leslie Valiant, a distinguished computer scientist, calls our ability to learn over the long term “educability”. In his new book, “The Importance of Being Educable,” he argues that it’s key to our success. When we think about what makes our minds special, we tend to focus on intelligence. But if we want to grasp reality in all its complexity, Valiant writes, then “cleverness is not enough.” We need to build comprehensive and flexible theories about the world — theories that will serve us in new, unanticipated, and strange circumstances — and we do that by gathering diverse kinds of knowledge, often in a slow, additive, accidental way, and knitting them together. Through this process, we acquire systems of beliefs that are broader and richer than the ones we can create through direct personal experience.
④An educable mind, he writes, can learn from books, lectures, conversations, experiences, — from anything, really — and notice when relevant aspects of almost forgotten knowledge reveal themselves. We admire aspects of someone’s educability when we say that they are a quick study, but what really makes them educable is that they apply insights “for purposes not foreseen at the time of the study”. When people strike us as particularly well-educated, this might mean that they have had lots of school, but it could also mean that they’re exceptionally educable, with the ability to take good advantage of whatever educational opportunities arise, whether formal or informal.
⑤Valiant thinks it might be useful to promote educability as an ideal. We could try to figure out how to measure and teach it in schools, or to encourage it in adults; at a time when rapid technological change means there’s always more to learn, we might seek to create a more educable society in general.
43. The underlined word “molder” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “__________”.
A. become out-of-date B. keep practical
C. remain inactive D. stay safe
44. Which of the following mind map correctly illustrate the relationship among knowledge, theory and beliefs
A. B.
C. D.
45. What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A. True educability lies in presenting insights for unforeseen purposes.
B. A quick learner overestimates the value of learning from all sources.
C. Schooling ensures that an educable mind can seize all learning opportunities.
D. An educable mind pursues learning even without an immediate goal in mind.
46. The passage is intended to __________.
A. introduce a book on educability
B. maximize the benefits of educability
C. inspire people to create an educable society
D. recommend a distinguished computer scientist

What happens if you lose cell-phone service The point is to be able to see the views and smell the flowers. But the most essential equipment is footwear because your feet are literally your foundation. Spending time in nature and having experiences that inspire amazement can lower stress and anxiety.

It can be as simple as heading out the door and walking for 40 minutes to an hour to build up strength and endurance.
Hiking: How to Get Started
Hiking, a form of exercise older than exercise itself, is so hot right now. For dedicated hikers, hiking offers freedom and perspective. But for those of us who haven’t spent serious time outdoors since summer camp, a half-day hike can be difficult. How can you avoid getting lost or injured Do you really need special hiking shoes ____47____
If you’re relatively active, you’re probably already training just by going for walks. ____48____ To train for sharper land, walk up hills or take the stairs instead of a lift.
The key to a relaxing hike is being as prepared as possible for the unknown, whether it’s a sudden downpour or an injured ankle. Every hiker should bring the 10 essentials, which include food and drink, first aid supplies, a map and compass and rainwear. ____49____ You don’t need to invest in special hiking shoes. You do need to wear shoes that offer firmness and protection, especially if the track is rocky, sharp or potentially muddy.
Finally, to avoid injury, don’t push yourself too hard or fast through more challenging tracks. Remember: ____50____ Slow down, take in the scenery, listen to the birds, and just be present in nature.

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
How to Make a Good Video Resumé(简历)
Video resumés have been around for a long time. With a well-made video resumé, you can present yourself creatively and allow a hiring manager to assess your personality, thus giving you an opportunity for interview. But how to make a good video resumé
First, start by introducing yourself and addressing the company you are applying to. For example, “Hello InVideo, I’m John Doe”. Not only does this get their attention but it makes them feel prioritized. The next thing is to address what profession you’re in or desire to be in. If you’re a filmmaker, you can simply state that or be creative with words and say you’re a visual storyteller.
Then, talk about your passion for what you do and support it by referring to your past experiences and work. For example, building on the filmmaker’s introduction, you could talk about how meeting people from around the world and sharing their stories deeply motivates you, and then you can share an experience that supports it. You can also focus on life experiences that have led you to cultivate skills - like taking a year off to travel abroad, volunteering at a shelter, or a hobby that you actively pursue. You can also speak about your special achievements and awards that will add value to your profile or you can get someone to speak on behalf of you as social proof.
At the end of the video, leave the ball in their court. However, you also need to give them a reason to call you for an interview. For example, you could end the video with this - “I have a lot more to me than I could fit in this short video and I hope you give me a chance to tell you about it over an interview”.

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, you will have seven seconds to decide which choice would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Now you have 30 seconds to read all the choices on the screen.
Today, I want to share this book, Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature. As a child, I loved Beatrix Potter, the creator of Peter Rabbit. I loved her work, the story of her life and her art.
According to the book, there was a time in history when women were not allowed to use all the art mediums, except watercolor, the only one art form women could practice. Of course, it was what Beatrix Potter knew and she became a true master of watercolors. This woman created such an unusual world with her art that it just inspired me to also fall in love with the medium of watercolor.
When I considered pursuing art in university, I had quite a few teachers, telling me that I really had to focus on other areas of art and not focus so much on painting little imaginative animals and fairies. And reading this book was just such a wonderful experience to remember her and her story and just really stay tuned to what I really wanted to paint. So it has meant a lot just to be able to express myself in the way I always wanted. Beatrix Potter inspired me to do so.
Now listen again.
Questions
Why did Beatrix Potter choose to practice watercolor
What did the book Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature encourage the speaker to do
What is the talk mainly about
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Now you have 30 seconds to read all the choices on the screen.
Working with your hands in order to create something either useful or beautiful is always exciting. In a world where fast fashion is mainstream, where you often only find factory-made products on store shelves, becoming a craftsman changes you as a consumer, which gives you insight into the process of creating, forming a story behind the result.
Learning new crafts brings me joy because it teaches me patience. Acquiring a skill takes time and whatever I create is made more meaningful because I created it. With each attempt, I will become more skilled, the results more delicate and my efforts rewarded. But all these takes patience.
In the meantime, I enjoy the excitement of learning. Sometimes my projects don’t work out as I imagined. There is something that goes straight into litter bins, but that’s why I started this channel: to enthusiastically accept the process of creation whatever the result is.
Now listen again.
Questions
In the speaker’s view, how does being a craftsman help
How does the speaker benefit from learning new crafts
Which of the following statements best describes the speaker’s opinion of learning new crafts
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. Now you have 40 seconds to read all the choices on the screen.
W: Good morning. World Tours. Can I help you
M: Good morning. I want some information on self-drive tours in the USA. I’m interested in going to California with my family.
W: OK. We have two self-drive tours that might interest you. The first one begins in Los Angeles and there’s plenty of time to visit some theme parks there.
M: That’s something on my children’s list, so I’d want to include that.
W: Good. Then you drive to San Francisco, and then to Yosemite Park where you can choose to stay on the campsite for several nights.
M: I don’t like the idea of staying in a tent. It’s too hot.
W: OK. And this tour ends in Las Vegas. The other trip starts in San Francisco. Then you drive south to Cambria and visit a really nice Hearst Castle.
M: Good. I’d like to do that. Does this trip also go into the deserts
W: No, it continues to Santa Monica, where most people like to do some shopping.
M: We have enough of that at home, so that doesn’t interest us.
W: OK. You could go straight on to San Diego, a good place for sunbathing and swimming.
M: Sounds great. Then how many days are the trips and how much do they cost
W: The first one lasts twelve days. The cost is $625 per person, including accommodation, car rental and a flight. The other trip lasts nine days. It’s a hundred dollars cheaper, covering accommodation and car hire.
M: Well, thank you very much. I’ll go back and discuss it with my family first.
W: I’m pleased to help.
Now listen again.
