I have always felt a deep pull to travel solo, to let my adventurous spirit lead the way. That longing lingered for
years, but life got in the way. Family, work, responsibilities — they quietened the voice until it became barely a
whisper.
Then, I turned 60, and the voice grew louder; but I worried it was too late, that I’d missed my chance. Around then,
I started working with Jack, a counselling client with the same restless energy. He wanted to quit his job to see the world,
and talking with him felt like speaking to a mirror, forcing me to confront my fear of leaving my safe, comfortable life.
It wasn’t until Jack announced he was ready to build a better-fitting life that I felt inspired to take the leap, planning
a solo trip along Australia’s western coast.
The real test came when I booked my flights and accommodation. Part of me secretly hoped the payment might fail,
giving me time to reconsider. But as a counsellor, I’ve seen too many cling to familiar routines long after they stop
serving them. As my booking went through, I knew that stepping into uncertainty, at any age, opens the door to growth,
confidence, and joy. It’s not easy, but every step brings greater reward.
My family’s encouragement made this easier. My steady husband hugged me and said, “You’ll regret it if you don’t
go.” My adult children were thrilled and called me courageous.
Of course, fear naturally holds us back, but facing it is the first step to real breakthroughs. Courage is less about
conquering fear, more about trusting yourself amid uncertainty.
Writing this from the airport, about to board my flight to Australia, I know fortune favors the brave. It may not be
easy to overcome the fear of solo travel, but it’s better to live boldly than to let dreams fade without giving it a go.
24. Which of the following statements about the author is true
A. She started her career as a counsellor after meeting her client Jack.
B. She believed age is an unbreakable barrier for exploring the world.
C. She finally gave up the trip because her payment failed to go through.
D. She put her personal dream aside for years because of family and work.
25. What directly inspired the author to plan her solo trip
A. Her failed flight booking. B. Her client Jack’s decision.
第 3页/共 9页
C. Her 60th birthday reflection. D. Her family’s encouragement.
26. Why did the author secretly hope her flight payment would fail
A. She was unwilling to go on the solo trip. B. She needed more time to reconsider the route.
C. She doubted her ability to handle the trip alone. D. She was not fully ready to leave her comfort zone.
27. What does the author want to convey in the passage
A. Fortune comes to those acting without fear.
B. Bravery conquers the fear that accompanies uncertainty.
C. Courage involves acting even when you want to hold back.
D. Boldness relies on encouragement from family members.
C
Symbolic of beauty, pride, and wealth in some cultures, peacocks are often associated with being confident and
attention-grabbing. So, perhaps it’s no surprise that these striking creatures can be used in a metaphor to illustrate
complex family dynamics.
Being honest about the ups and downs of family life isn’t something you’ll usually hear from a “peacock parent”.
Instead, they’ll project the “perfect family”, showing off their child’s talents in public, while criticizing them behind
closed doors when disappointed.
You may have heard the expression “as proud as a peacock”, to suggest self-importance or attention-grabbing
behaviour. In relation to parenting, this can be interpreted as narcissistic (自恋的 ) parenting, characterized by poor
understanding, control, emotional dependency, and a pervasive preoccupation with feeling powerful or special within the
family dynamics.
The roots of this arrogant behaviour stem from the narcissistic wound of low or fragile self-worth, counsellor Olena
Chechel notes, explaining how this leads to children being seen as self-extensions or objects to fulfil the success of the
peacock parent.
The child must be perceived as acceptable, shiny, or significant, as this all ties back to them. Olena goes on to
explain that due to these parental expectations, the child may struggle to learn about their own interests, explore their
curiosities, or simply be a child. They can soon realize that having an authentic self is detrimental to the relationship,
and, indeed, that their caregiver can quickly pull back their love.
Growing up with a narcissistic parent can feel like being trapped in a web, but a first step to break free from its
effects in adulthood is self-compassion. This mindful awareness can involve learning how to move away from the inner
critic, following your interests, and speaking more kindly to yourself.
Olena also recommends redefining the relationship if the parent is causing distress: “Instead of bringing emotion
into the relationship with the hope of being understood, it can be helpful to find boundaries that will make you feel safer
in the dynamic. If the relationship is causing harm, you may need to limit contact. This is something we get to do as
adults, but can’t do as children. It can be healing to make that choice.”
28. The author mentions peacocks at the beginning of the passage mainly to _________.
A. explain why peacocks are admired in many cultures
B. describe how animal behaviour reflects human family relationships
C. introduce an image that helps readers understand a certain type of parent
D. show that metaphors based on animals are common in English expressions
29. Which of the following statements about peacock parents is true
A. They treat their children as a reflection of themselves.
B. They worry that others may judge their child negatively.
C. They hope public praise will boost children’s confidence.
第 4页/共 9页
D. They believe strong performance can make their children stand out.
30. The underlined word” detrimental” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. harmful B. unnecessary C. sensitive D. irrelevant
31. What does Olena recommend for those dealing with distressing peacock parents in the last paragraph
A. To cut off all contact with their parents immediately.
B. To wait until their parents recognize the harm they have caused.
C. To step back from the relationship and create space when it becomes damaging.
D. To express their emotions openly in hopes of being understood by their parents.
D
One of the primary causes of insomnia and poor sleep quality is negative thinking, as explored in 2023 research in
the Journal of Anxiety Disorders. While it may seem harmless at first, persistent negative thoughts gradually increase
anxiety levels, placing strain on the brain’s ability to regulate itself effectively. Over time, this can lead to a loss of what
we might describe as “intellectual control”.
Although we each have one brain, humans effectively operate with two distinct modes of thinking. The first is the
intellectual, logical, and rational side of the brain, which allows us to analyse situations calmly and make reasoned
decisions. The second is more primitive, and watchful, whose primary function is survival. When anxiety levels rise, the
brain automatically shifts control away from the intellectual mind, and into this more primitive mode.
This shift is the same automatic response that would occur if we were faced with a genuine threat or emergency.
Imagine encountering a hungry, restless polar bear determined to attack you. Your brain would instantly prioritize
survival, setting aside logic, and placing your body on high alert. While this response is invaluable in life-threatening
situations, it becomes problematic when constantly triggered by negative thinking, stress, or worry.
When the brain is operating in this heightened state of readiness, it becomes more negative, obsessive, and
constantly alert. As a result, the mind struggles to relax. This makes falling asleep difficult and, even when sleep does
occur, the brain often cannot relax deeply enough to process unresolved thoughts, emotions, and feelings.
The processing of emotional material primarily takes place during the dreaming phase of sleep, known as rapid eye
movement (REM) sleep. During this, the brain files away experiences, regulates emotional responses, and clears mental
“backlogs” accumulated during waking hours. However, REM sleep typically accounts for only around 20% of the
overall sleep cycle.
When someone experiences prolonged anxiety, the brain may attempt to overcompensate by increasing its demand
for REM processing. Unfortunately, if this demand becomes excessive, the brain will often wake itself up, rather than
remain in REM sleep. This is why many people find themselves wide awake at three o’clock in the morning, feeling
restless, anxious, and unable to drift back to sleep.
32. What does the author suggest in paragraph 3 by comparing worry to a polar bear attack
A. Worry is more difficult to control than fear of animals.
B. The brain uses the same survival mechanism in both situations.
C. Worry helps the brain prepare for possible dangers in advance.
D. The brain cannot tell the difference between real and imagined threats.
33. What can be learned about REM sleep
A. It mainly provides the body with deep physical rest and recovery.
B. It temporarily shuts down the brain’s responses to external events.
C. It strengthens logical thinking and problem-solving while sleeping.
D. It helps the brain manage daily experiences and handle emotional challenges.
34. Why do people become fully awake in the middle of the night yet still not emotionally refreshed
A. Because they sleep too long and lose natural alertness.
B. Because they do not enter REM sleep during the night.
第 5页/共 9页
C. Because their brain processes too much emotional material during sleep.
D. Because their brain is forcibly awakened by overwhelming processing demands.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Sleep vs Stress: Why Worry Can Reduce the Quality of Your Rest.
B. Sleep vs Survival Mode: Why Your Brain Might Be Battling You at Bedtime.
C. Threat vs Daily Worry: Why the Brain Responds as if Danger Were Present.
D. REM Sleep vs Anxiety: Why Emotional Processing Is Interrupted During the Night.

How To Gamify Your Routines
Gamifying your routines isn’t about being more disciplined; it’s about designing systems that make follow-through
easier. Here’s how to add gameplay into your day, in a way that’s simple, flexible and helps you stay focused.
____36____
Getting creative can make difficult tasks, or the things we tend to put off, feel more manageable and engaging.
Kristin explains: “Since I was young, I’ve struggled to drink water, so I turned it into a game and imagined getting
1,000 for every sip. The playfulness helped keep me hydrated. This simple game feels fun, and helps me stay healthy.”
Try times.
Breaking things down into short blocks of time can create a sense of urgency. ____37____ Tools like the Pomodoro
technique (where you use a timer for 25 minutes, then are rewarded with a five-minute break) can help to boost focus,
reduce burnout, and make big tasks more manageable.
Use a reward system.
Pairing tasks with little rewards you care about helps you track progress, and may make finishing tasks feel worth
all the effort. ____38____ These small rewards can turn a challenging task into something to look forward to, making it
easier to take that first step.
Change up your to-do lists.
____39____ Experimenting with different formats can help reduce overwhelm, keep things feeling fresh, and avoid
you getting stuck in a single, discouraging long list.
Gamifying your routines doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. ____40____ Give yourself permission to
experiment and adjust if your methods no longer help you. After all, this is about making progress in a way that feels
supportive.
A. Turn complicated tasks into simpler.
B. Make challenging tasks more playful.
C. It can help you stay motivated over time.
D. Small changes can make a meaningful difference.
E. It also removes the pressure of working on one big task for hours.
F. Treat your to-do list like it’s a game, or split it into different levels.
G. Why not promise yourself a short break or a favorite podcast episode to get started

living, not a museum piece.”

I am Tia. The corner of 71st Street and Prospect was my corner. To me, it was like a wide-open treasure box. When
my sisters and brothers were chasing each other, and I felt like the walls of our apartment were about to burst, I ran down
to my corner. My sneakers pounded the pavement, then they took me on a flying leap into a sea of green. I waded
through the tall grass, my jeans swished with every step. Butterflies and crickets (蟋蟀) scared up at my feet. I sat down,
closed my eyes and listened to their songs. The grass smelt clean and fresh. The sun warmed my skin, and I wondered
why I was the only one who’s thankful for this place.
Some folks didn’t respect it. They passed by all day long and never took the time to peek inside. They even threw
trash from their car windows. There was junk here- old chairs, a broken bicycle wheel. I worried that soon there would
be more garbage than birds.
One day, the city announced a plan to pave it over for a parking lot. Heartbroken, I ran to my room and slammed
the door. “It just needs some cleaning up, that’s all. How come they can’t see that ” Out my window I could see my
第 8页/共 9页
corner. Mama knocked softly at the door and stepped in. “Tia, you see something in that corner that most folks don’t.
You got to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it.”
Early the next morning, I dragged a chair down to the corner. On a card-board I painted NO PARKING LOT! SAVE
OUR NATURE! in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people in the community didn’t pay any attention to me.
My effort seemed in vain, attracting more ridicule (嘲笑) than support. I swallowed hard and felt my sign drop to the
ground.
注意：
