M: Before feeding the dog, I’m going to clear up its house.
W: It’s about time. Look at the mess! It smells terrible.
Text 2
W: How do you stay fit, David
M: Well, I used to enjoy running, but after hurting my knee, my doctor suggested not running that often. So nowadays I mainly swim. And I do quite like going cycling sometimes, though.
Text 3
M: When will the meeting begin
W: According to the schedule, it should start at 9:30, and it will last for an hour and a half.
Text 4
M: Are you all right, Maria What’s wrong with your neck
W: Ah, I’ve just fallen over in the snow and I’ve got a terrible pain in my arm, not my neck.
M: Give me your hand and I’ll help you up.
W: OK, thanks.
Text 5
W: This forest picture would go really well with the colours in our bedroom, and the sunflower one matches our kitchen.
M: I agree. And we can hang the beach picture over our sofa.
Text 6
M: Look at those boats! I’m thinking of buying one.
W: What You don’t need a boat. It’s a waste of money!
M: No, it isn’t. Think of all the summers we can spend on it!
W: But look at the price!
M: I was getting to that. With a little help from a friend, I could buy it. I just need to borrow $1,000.
W: You’re kidding, right
M: No, and I promise to pay you back very soon. Please!
W: Sorry, Billy. I’m broke. Anyway, I wouldn’t lend you money for a boat!
Text 7
W: Joseph, do you have any plans for the holidays
M: Yes, I’m going to Canada.
W: Wonderful! How are you going to travel there
M: I’ll fly to Winnipeg, and then I’ll have a 500-mile drive across Banff in the Rockies.
W: How long are you going to stay in Canada
M: From the 15th of December to the 11th of January.
W: That’s a long holiday! What are you going to do there
M: Well, I’ll stay in Winnipeg for one week to visit my relatives. Then, for the next three weeks, I’ll be skiing in Banff. There are also hot springs. I’ll go swimming.
W: Where are you going to stay in Banff
M: I’ll be staying with a friend and his family.
W: Sounds like a lot of fun!
Text 8
W: Adam, here is an interesting question from one of our listeners: What is something that you wish you could have done over For example, maybe something in your university life.
M: Well, there are a few things. I might change my major. I studied education, and I enjoy what I’m doing right now. But if I could go back to school and start over, I’d probably study chemistry or physics.
W: Interesting. Anything else you wish you would have done
M: I might have been more active in doing sports. I played football in high school, but in college, it seemed that there was nothing that could push me to actually go out and put my heart into it. I went to one training day and I felt kind of tired. I wish I hadn’t given up football so easily.
W: How about something that you did do but maybe now you wish you hadn’t
M: I played video games a lot in high school because that was the cool thing to do, but I don’t play them now. And looking back on it, I think it’s just a waste of time to follow the trend.
Text 9
W: What are you waiting for
M: Whatever you are cooking. It smells wonderful. Biscuits Bread
W: It’s a disaster—that’s what it is.
M: Why It smells great.
W: Look at this bag. What does it say
M: Salt.
W: Exactly. I think I might have used that instead of sugar by accident. If I have, the cake will be a failure. I will have wasted four eggs, butter and lots of other materials.
M: Oh, I hope not.
W: Well, we’ll know for sure in 10 minutes, when it comes out of the cooker.
M: I can’t wait to try it.
W: It has to be left to cool for another 20 minutes—that’s if I’ve made it correctly, which I doubt.
M: Don’t be so negative. You’re usually so careful.
W: I have a lot on my mind at the moment and I’ve been doing a lot of silly things. Maybe I picked the wrong day for cooking, but I thought it would be something fun to do.
M: If nothing else, you’ve filled the house with the wonderful smell of the cake.

M: Good afternoon, this is lunch time news.
A series of powerful tornadoes struck six American states over the weekend, killing at least 90 people, including workers in a candle factory in Mayfield, a Kentucky town, lakeside vacationers in Tennessee and residents in a nursing home in Arkansas.
Dozens of night-shift employees began to work in the candle factory in Mayfield when the terrible disaster happened. The workers sheltered in the bathroom area supposed to be the safest part of the building. But it may not have been of any use because the tornado was so big. Ten more people remain missing.
Judy Burton is a Mayfield local who spoke to the reporter about the storm this morning. She said that she was able to take shelter in the basement of her apartment building before the tornado hit. Local officials said the fire station was seriously damaged and most of the town’s police cars were destroyed. Many buildings were reduced to nothing. Burton was so worried about her old neighbour, Steve, as he was unable to escape with ruins around him.

第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几个将旧建筑重新利用,转化为新用途的案例,展示了这种再利用的方式所带来的惊人美感。
21.A　细节理解题。根据文章Craft False Creek, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA部分中的“In the 1930s, the Vancouver Salt Company’s processing plant was housed here.”可知,Craft False Creek曾经是温哥华盐业公司的加工厂。故选A。
22.B　细节理解题。根据文章Liberty Hotel, BOSTON部分中的“The building’s fresh purpose was designed in cooperation with teams of preservationists and historians to ensure its past life was never forgotten.”可知,Liberty Hotel被重新设计以确保人们不会忘记其过去。故选B。
23.D　细节理解题。根据文章El Ateneo Grand Splendid, BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA部分中的“The location was purchased and rebuilt as a bookstore in the early 2000s.”和Dominicanen, MAASTRICHT, NETHERLANDS部分中的“In 2006 it was converted into a bookstore, maintaining much of its traditional artwork and architecture.”可知,这两个建筑物在21世纪初都成了书店。故选D。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了从作者小时候到成家生子再到工作教书这一路上图书馆的变化。
24.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Gold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children’s Library.”可知,作者认为自己很幸运是因为她住得离图书馆很近。故选D。
25.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume’s novels.”可知,作者在图书馆初次读到了朱迪·布鲁姆的小说。故选B。
26.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can’t always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.”可知,学生可以使用图书馆的应用程序查找资源,帮助他们做家庭作业,虽然学生不能总是去当地的图书馆,但可以通过访问虚拟图书馆来获取想要的资源。由此可推测出,作者对学生们访问图书馆的方式是支持的。故选C。
27.A　推理判断题。第一段讲述了作者小时候和妈妈一起去图书馆的经历;第二段讲述了作者和儿子经常去图书馆见朋友和交朋友,图书馆是一个社区;第三段讲述了作者在图书馆里阅读小说、注册了电子邮箱、在网上查阅资料,这里是作者和朋友欢聚的地方,并且作者他们与那里的图书馆管理员建立了良好的关系;最后一段讲述了作者在大学教书时学生们能够非常便利地访问虚拟图书馆。由此可推测出,作者写这篇文章的目的是讲述从自己小时候到成家生子再到工作教书这一路上图书馆的变化。故选A。
C
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。本篇文章主要围绕科学家们发现了约1.55亿年前“消失的”阿尔戈大陆而展开。文章解释了阿尔戈大陆早年与澳大利亚大陆分离,往西北方向漂移,最终在印度尼西亚岛屿的东部以?泛分散的碎片形式被发现。这一发现对于科学家们研究生物多样性以及东南亚岛屿上神秘的华莱士线都有着重要的意义。
28.D　细节理解题。根据第二段“Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a ‘very extended and fragmented collection’ under the islands to the east of Indonesia.”可知,阿尔戈大陆是以碎片的形式存在于印度尼西亚东部岛屿之下。故选D项。
29.C　词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments…”可知,阿尔戈大陆不像非洲和南美洲那样是整齐地分裂成两部分,阿尔戈大陆分裂成许多较小的碎片,再结合画线词下文“…which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent’s geological features.”可知,这使得科学家们很难确定它的位置并研究它的地质特征。然而,利用先进的技术和这项新发现,科学家们现在能够将它们拼凑起来。故画线词所在句应表示阿尔戈大陆分裂成许多“分散的”小碎片。distributed符合题意,故选C项。
30.B　推理判断题。根据第四段内容(追溯大陆对于理解如生物多样性的进化等过程至关重要。这有助于解释神秘的华莱士线,它是一条虚构的边界,将东南亚岛屿上的哺乳动物、鸟类甚至早期人类物种分隔开来。这条边界之所以令科学家们困惑,是因为它清晰地划分了岛屿上的野生动物。在这条线的西侧是猿和大象之类的胎盘哺乳动物,但这些动物在该线的东侧几乎完全不存在,取而代之的是有袋类动物和凤头鹦鹉等通常与澳大利亚相关联的动物。研究人员推测,这可能是因为阿尔戈大陆在撞向东南亚之前,把自己的野生动物带离了澳大利亚,这有助于解释为什么不同的物种分布在不同的国家。)可推知,第四段提及“华莱士线”旨在强调追溯阿尔戈大陆的意义。故选B项。
31.A　主旨大意题。根据第一段内容(长期以来,地质学家一直对地球历史上缺失的一部分着迷——一块名为阿尔戈大陆的失落大陆。大约1.55亿年前,这块5000公里长的大陆从西澳大利亚分离出来,开始漂移,在海洋深处留下了一个盆地,被称为阿尔戈深海平原。但阿尔戈大陆到底去了哪里 )并结合全文内容可知,本篇文章主要围绕科学家们发现了约1.55亿年前“消失的”阿尔戈大陆而展开,文章解释了阿尔戈大陆早年与澳大利亚大陆分离,往西北方向漂移,最终在印度尼西亚岛屿的东部以?泛分散的碎片形式被发现。这一发现对于科学家们研究生物多样性以及东南亚岛屿上神秘的华莱士线都有着重要的意义。故A项“失落大陆的发现。”能够概括文章主旨,故选A项。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。本文讨论了“沉没成本谬误”对我们的决策产生的影响。沉没成本谬误指的是当我们感觉已经投入太多而不愿放弃时产生的心理陷阱。作者指出,这种谬误导致我们坚持计划,即使它已不再对我们有益,成本明显超过收益。
32.C　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are reluctant to get rid of Maybe you say, ‘I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.’ If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy(沉没成本谬误).”可知,第一段描述的是人们不愿意放弃自己已经投入太多的事情,因此不断地坚持下去,这种现象是“沉没成本谬误”,即人们拒绝放弃过去的投入。故选C。
33.A　推理判断题。根据第二段中“When asked which trip to take, 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment.”可知,尽管合理的选择是威斯康星州,54%的人选择了密歇根州,因为他们的初始投资更大,即在密歇根州的旅行投入了100美元,该投入多于威斯康星州的投入,所以为了避免更多的损失,人们不会选择威斯康星州,而是继续选择密歇根州。故选A。
34.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions.”以及“Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits.”可知,当我们情绪化地根据过去的成本做决定时,容易产生沉没成本谬误。故选D。
35.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste.”可知,此处作者指出人们可以从毅力中获益良多;同时根据本段中“But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization.”可知,此处作者强调的是毅力导致你坚持的路不一定是正确的路,因此作者认为此时不必坚持下去,而是要选择适合自己的路,即离开当下的错误坚持。因此作者对于“毅力”的态度是有褒有贬,即客观地看待“毅力”。故选B。
第二节
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了反应和回应的区别以及我们应该如何做来应对它们。
36.F　根据上文“When faced with change, most people go down one of two roads: they either respond or react.”以及后文“Reacting, on the other hand, literally means to meet one action with another.”可知,后文提到了反应的定义,那么本句是在说明回应的相关内容。故F选项(回应,与责任有关,是体贴的。)符合语境,故选F。
37.B　根据上文“Reacting, on the other hand, literally means to meet one action with another. It’s instant. Responding creates more space between an event and what you do about it. In that space, you give immediate emotions room to breathe and you gain a better understanding of what is happening. Consequently, you rarely regret responding.”可知,上文提到了回应和反应,且提到很少后悔回应,由此推测本句是在说明会后悔反应。故B选项(但是你经常后悔反应。)符合语境,故选B。
38.A　根据后文“You can do all the affect labeling and meditation in the world. Yet if you regularly inhabit reactive environments, it’s hard not to become more reactive.”可知,后文提到经常生活在反应性的环境中,很容易变得更具反应性,说明了外部因素的重要性。故A选项(但外部因素也很重要。)符合语境,故选A。
39.C　根据本段内容“When I spend too much time on social media, I’m more likely to roar at my children, feel restless, and my competence in thinking deeply worsens significantly. Yet I’m becoming increasingly concerned that it’s not just me, but our entire culture that is making us more reactive at a time when we need our humanity more than ever.”可知,本段主要叙述了作者的亲身经历。故C选项(我有过亲身经历。)符合语境,故选C。
40.D　根据后文“But distinctly naming the problem is an important first step. We can also reduce reactivity by intentionally creating more responsive environments. We can read print books instead of digital versions. We can go to the gym or take walks without phones. If we desire to navigate our challenging times, we must find ways to preserve the space between stimulus (刺激) and response; that is to say we must find ways to preserve our humanity.”可知,后文主要说明了应对反应的方法,且强调了步骤,故本句总起全段,指出没有可以应对这个问题的灵丹妙药。故D选项(没有灵丹妙药。)符合语境,故选D。
第三部分

第四部分
第一节
One possible version:
A new me
Hello, everyone!
I always felt anxious and stressful at senior high school at first because I was afraid of being left behind. I was worried about so many things that I couldn’t sleep well and focus on my study.
Then, I read a book called Who Moved My Cheese which made me realize that making changes can make a difference to life. Instead of just worrying about my study, I would make a schedule for my study and finish the to-do list. Rather than being anxious the whole day, I would do some exercises regularly and listen to music to relieve my stress and tiredness after studying, which also helped me feel more energetic.
Now, I stop feeling upset about something new. Instead, I would also always remind myself to smile as often as possible and stay positive about everything that is going to happen.
Thank you for your listening.
第二节

②由第二段首句内容“他的巨大决心得到了回报,他又能走路了。”可知,第二段可描写听完老者的故事后作者的感悟。
2.续写线索:老者讲述往事—骑车被撞可能失去行走能力—决心与命运斗争—付出得到回报—感悟
One possible version:
“I used to be a cyclist,” he said. “Competing in cycling events was what I loved and enjoyed.” Then he told me why he stopped cycling. While cycling with his friends one day, he was hit by a car severely by accident. Although immediately taken to the hospital, he was told by the doctor that he might never walk again. He refused to believe that. So, he was determined not to let the accident prevent him from walking again.
His great determination paid off, and he was able to walk again. His love for life and for fitness is what makes him cross the bridge many times. Moved by his story, I told him that it was an honour to meet a role model like him and that I wanted to make friends with him. He agreed happily. I shook his hand, thanked him for having a chat with me, and let him continue with his exercise. As I walked away, my admiration for him grew even more because of his attitude to life.单元素养测评卷(三)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A [2024·山东滨州高二期末]
Instead of tearing down them and building anew, architects have repurposed some older structures, leading to stunning beauty.
Craft False Creek, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Among the growing scenes of skyscrapers in Vancouver, this building stands out for both its history and architecture. In the 1930s, the Vancouver Salt Company’s processing plant was housed here. Today, the building is home to Craft Beer Market, which has kept many of the architectural elements of the original structure in place.
El Ateneo Grand Splendid, BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
This beautiful bookshop has the distinction of starting its life as a theatre. Teatro Gran Splendid opened its door in May 1919 and hosted a long list of performances before being turned into a cinema. The location was purchased and rebuilt as a bookstore in the early 2000s.
Liberty Hotel, BOSTON
Located just steps from the Boston Common, the Liberty Hotel now lies at the former Charles Street Jail. Its 298 rooms and suites were inspired by the location, which last housed prisoners in 1990. The building’s fresh purpose was designed in cooperation with teams of preservationists and historians to ensure its past life was never forgotten.
Dominicanen, MAASTRICHT, NETHERLANDS
Situated within a church that dates back to 1294, the former Dominicanen has a long history. It served as a Catholic church for hundreds of years before being changed to storage space for Napoleon Bonaparte’s army. In 2006 it was converted into a bookstore, maintaining much of its traditional artwork and architecture.
(　)21.What did Craft False Creek use to be
A.A factory. B.A market.
C.A museum. D.A theatre.
(　)22.What do we know about Liberty Hotel
A.It was redesigned by historians alone.
B.It was repurposed as a reminder of its past.
C.It has hosted a long list of performances.
D.It lies far away from the Boston Common.
(　)23.What do El Ateneo Grand Splendid and Dominicanen have in common
A.Both were transformed from cinemas.
B.Both served as storage space for army.
C.Both used to undertake religious functions.
D.Both took shape as bookstores in the 2000s.
B [2024·福建福清高中联合体高二期末]
When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we didn’t always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.
Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Gold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children’s Library. My 18-month-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people don’t understand—a library is more than books; it’s a community.
Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume’s novels. But it was also the place where I got my first e-mail address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled (咯咯地笑) too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasn’t a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library offered me my first teaching job.
I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can’t always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.

Geologists have long been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth’s history—a lost continent called Argoland. Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometre continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting(漂移), leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain. But where did Argoland actually go
The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up in Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands, only small continental fragments(碎片) surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia.
Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent’s geological features. However, with advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together.
Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates the island’s wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals like apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find marsupials and cockatoos—animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations.
The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As the world continues to evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the fragility of life on this planet, and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in.
(　)28.What do we know about Argoland
A.It split into two pieces many years ago.
B.It broke away from the continent of Africa.
C.It sank to the bottom of the Argo Abyssal Plain.
D.It exists as fragments under the eastern islands of Indonesia.
(　)29.What does the underlined word “dispersed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Crashed. B.Connected.
C.Distributed. D.Disappeared.
(　)30.Why does the author mention the “Wallace line” in Paragraph 4
A.To introduce the early history of Argoland.
B.To stress the significance of tracing Argoland.
C.To prove the biodiversity of Southeast Asian islands.
D.To explain the evolutionary process of Australian species.
(　)31.What’s probably the main idea of the text
A.The discovery of a lost continent.
B.The boundaries of wildlife habitats.
C.The geological features of Argoland.
D.The formation of the Argo Abyssal Plain.

Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are reluctant to get rid of Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (沉没成本谬误). It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit. This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits.
Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey showing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions. Participants imagined spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin, realizing later they were for the same weekend. They were told Wisconsin would be more enjoyable. When asked which trip to take, 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment.
Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through. We fail to realize that past costs won’t be recovered. Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits. This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where losses feel worse than gains. We avoid losses, making choices based on avoiding the “loss” of our past investment instead of considering the benefits gained if we don’t continue our commitment.
No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste. But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization.
(　)32.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A.People benefit from sticking with a plan.
B.People’s consumption view has changed.
C.People refuse to give up the past commitment.
D.People’s clothes are becoming more expensive.
(　)33.Why did more than half of the participants choose the trip to Michigan in the survey
A.To save more of the loss.
B.To appear more reasonable.
C.To make a greater investment.
D.To enjoy more of themselves.
(　)34.When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur
A.When we don’t follow through our choices.
B.When we don’t continue our commitment.
C.When we stop feeling guilty and regretful.
D.When we make decisions based on past costs emotionally.
(　)35.What is the author’s attitude towards “perseverance”
A.Favourable. B.Objective.
C.Doubtful. D.Unclear.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When faced with change, most people go down one of two roads: they either respond or react. 36.　　　　 Reacting, on the other hand, literally means to meet one action with another. It’s instant. Responding creates more space between an event and what you do about it. In that space, you give immediate emotions room to breathe and you gain a better understanding of what is happening. Consequently, you rarely regret responding. 37.　　　　
There is plenty you can do internally to cultivate responsiveness. For instance, “affect labeling”, or naming your emotions, helps create space between you and a difficult situation. Meditation (冥想) is also beneficial. 38.　　　　 You can do all the affect labeling and meditation in the world. Yet if you regularly inhabit reactive environments, it’s hard not to become more reactive.
39.　　　　 When I spend too much time on social media, I’m more likely to roar at my children, feel restless, and my competence in thinking deeply worsens significantly. Yet I’m becoming increasingly concerned that it’s not just me, but our entire culture that is making us more reactive at a time when we need our humanity more than ever.
40.　　　　 But distinctly naming the problem is an important first step. We can also reduce reactivity by intentionally creating more responsive environments. We can read print books instead of digital versions. We can go to the gym or take walks without phones. If we desire to navigate our challenging times, we must find ways to preserve the space between stimulus (刺激) and response; that is to say we must find ways to preserve our humanity.
A.But the external matters too.
B.But you often regret reacting.
C.I’ve experienced this first-hand.
D.There are no silver bullet solutions.
E.I have figured out how to deal with this.
F.Responding, related to responsibility, is considerate.
G.On the one hand, reacting is crucial for our humanity.

The most important change in a person’s life is the change of his or her attitude. Right attitudes produce right actions. Have you ever met someone who gave you a different view of life
On a Sunday morning, I saw something very interesting as I went to the greengrocer’s. To get there, I had to cross a bridge over railway tracks. The bridge was pretty high. A set of steep steps had to be climbed; then the bridge flattened out (变平), followed by coming down another set of steps. On my way back from the greengrocer’s, I saw an elderly gentleman running up the steps. After watching him run up the steps so fast, I thought that he could be in a rush.
Before I knew it, he had crossed the bridge, and then he ran back to where he started. To my surprise, he did not stop. He turned around, and then went up and down the bridge again. He was not struggling, and seemed to enjoy going up and down the bridge. Being a fitness fanatic (热衷于健美的人) myself, I admired his ability to cross the bridge so quickly. My curiosity got the better of me, and I came up to him to have a chat with him.
“Excuse me, sir. Are you training for an event ” I asked.
He stopped. “No, not training for an event. Well, I am training for life,” he said with a broad smile on his face as sweat rolled down his cheeks.
I told him that I had been looking for a role model of fitness, and that I hoped to be as strong as he is when I get to his age. He said that everyone has a choice about what they do with their life. “I am not different,” he added. With much admiration, I asked, “What drives you to maintain good health ”
Then he told me the accident he met with when he was young.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
“I used to be a cyclist,” he said.

Paragraph 2:
His great determination paid off, and he was able to walk again.
