A
There is a particular sort of box that lurks in every home, full of “memorabilia”. Baby teeth, divorce certificates, spare keys for locks unknown: the whole thing is filled with association, emotion, nostalgia (怀旧) and pain. That box is my doom (劫数).
Because I decide that turning 40, being pregnant and training for a second career aren't enough to be getting on with in a single month, I am also in the lucky position of moving house, which means opening various drawers, boxes, and cupboards, only to discover a pit of painful memory or a terrible mess at every turn.
But listen to me: you can get rid of these things. God, I love throwing things away. Not the irresponsible rush of pouring perfectly usable items into landfill, of course. But taking a box of toys to a charity shop when my son is at school Delicious. Handing out unworn clothes to friends and neighbours Delightful. Recycling early drafts of my book Incredible. Frankly, I hope we will all have better things to do than read through our old notebooks, diaries or letters. So, I put them in the recycling. That sweet unburdening release can cheer me up for the rest of the day.
I grew up in a house where sentimentality was a disease. When our old gas oven broke, my sister made my parents bury it in the garden with a full, flowery ceremony because she wasn't yet ready to say goodbye. My father cries every time he looks at one of the blankets knitted by his mother — despite the fact that it is on his bed.
In this environment, it was inevitable that at least one child was going to go the other way. The cuckoo (布谷鸟) in the nest, I developed a strong and early love of getting rid.

Many think that language is what sets humans apart from other animals, and that for us to think, language is a decisive factor. British philosopher Bertrand Russell even claimed in 1948 that no intelligent thinking can take place without language. However, a recent study in Nature suggests otherwise. It found that language and thought are two distinct entities, working in separate parts of the brain. They are, in short, “far more independent than we imagined”, wrote ZME Science.
The study, conducted by scientists from the US, explored the language-thought relationship through two research approaches. First, they studied patients suffering from global aphasia, who had lost much of their ability to understand or speak due to damage to the left hemisphere of their brain. However, they can still complete complex tasks.
“You can ask people with global aphasia to solve math problems or perform social reasoning tests, and as long as the instructions are non-verbal, they can succeed,” Evelina Fedorenko, one of the study’s authors from the US Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told ZME Science.
The researchers also used brain-imaging tools to study the brains of healthy volunteers as they performed non-verbal tasks, like solving puzzles and planning. It was found that the brain’s language regions were mostly inactive during such activities. In other words, we generally need language to express our thoughts but we can still think without words.
So if language isn’t necessary for thinking, then why did humans develop it Fedorenko said language serves mainly as a tool for communication. “Most of the things that you probably learned about the world, you learned through language and not through direct experience with the world,” she said. By being able to share complex information through language, humans gained an evolutionary advantage.
Although language does not give rise to thoughts, past research shows that how we speak can heavily influence how we think. For example, the English sentence “he fired the gun” is usually phrased as “the gun went off” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are more likely to focus on the person responsible for an accident than Japanese speakers, according to Psychology Today.
5. What is the main purpose of the study mentioned in the passage
A. To prove that language is essential for intelligent thinking.
B. To examine the relationship between language and thought.
C To develop new treatments for patients with global aphasia.
D. To identify the brain regions responsible for non-verbal reasoning.
6. What did brain-imaging tools reveal about healthy volunteers performing non-verbal task
A. They struggled with problem-solving. B. Their language centers became overactive.
C. Their language regions showed little activity. D. They would unconsciously use verbal strategies.
7. How can language serve humans, according to Fedorenko
A. It helps humans generate thoughts. B. It decides humans’ evolutionary direction.
C. It replaces direct experience with the world. D. It facilitates the exchange of complicated ideas.
8. What is the main idea of the text
A. Thought can operate independently from language.
B. Language plays a decisive role in shaping human thought.
C. Language and thought are deeply interdependent in the brain.
D. The absence of language makes complex thought impossible.
