RESEARCH SNAPS ** University
Are Book Reviews Subjective Book reviewers use four main strategies to turn their subjective opinions into more objective assessments: spotting personal biases ( 偏见 ), maintaining critical autonomy, relying on solid evidence for assessment, and applying reflexive reading.
What is this research about
Objectivity is the foundation for sound judgments of truth. This can be hard to apply to aesthetic (审美的) judgments, which are subjective. Critics are constantly trying to have their definition of excellence become the norm in their field. Book reviewers must work past offering a judgment of personal taste to producing an argument to justify their evaluation.
How was the research carried out
Thirty in-depth phone interviews were conducted with book reviewers who worked for large American newspapers. The interviews explored how reviewers determine what good fiction is and how they convey their conclusions in their reviews.
What did the research find
It found that there are four strategies book reviewers employ to maintain critical distance. Critics of subjective topics use approaches that are similar to ones used by those making judgment in scientific matters.
1) Recognizing conflicts of interest
Before agreeing to take on a project, critics must assess if the relationship they have with the author could affect their evaluation. Critics are more concerned with giving unfair negative reviews than excessively positive reviews.
2) Keeping independent judgment
Reviewer s are conscious of factors that can affect their judgment. This includes reviews of the same book written by other critics. Reading a review written by another critic might encourage a reviewer to change their own evaluation to match the opinion of that critic, or intentionally write an opposite opinion just to seem different.
3) ________
Part of the authority that comes from a critic comes from their knowledge of literature. Critics recognize what characteristics good fiction has and must be able to both recognize and quantify those qualities in a new book.
4) Reflexive reading
Reviewer s need to ensure that they are reading critically, and constantly questioning their responses to the text. They will read it once as a reader and then again as a critic. Critics said that their first response to a novel is emotional. After their initial reaction, however, critics must evaluate if their response was an indication of quality.
How can you use this research
This research helps shed light on how art reviews are created. It helps explain the processes that go into creating fair and reasonable reviews of subjective subjects.
31. What does the underlined word “autonomy” mean in the box
A．Freedom. B．Independence. C．Sensibility. D．Objectivity.
32. Which of the following best completes the blanks above
A．Evidence-based reviewing
B．Authority-based evaluation
C．Literary accomplishment
D．Professional literary judgment
33. What can be learned from the passage is that ________.
A．approaches to scientific reviewing do not apply to reviews of literature
B．the research was carried out by professors through laboratory experiments
C．a book reviewer needs to read the book being reviewed at least twice
D．a reviewer’s personal taste is meant to be clearly reflected in their reviews
B
I have always felt most comfortable in the classroom, and I enjoy the recognition from family and teachers for accomplishing a job well. Although I was a high achiever, I was not a student who joined every club. Throughout my life, I wanted to learn more than I wanted to be in a bunch of extracurriculars.
My academic journey continued at a community college, where I joined the student newspaper. In the newsroom, I discovered an engaging, fast-paced world that allowed me to never stop learning. It was just what I had expected. Now my transfer to Drake University for a journalism degree was a no-brainer. It was exciting to see my future become clear, but I never pictured the shock waves headed my way.
The campus phenomenon known as “Drake Busy” was completely unexpected. The term describes the idea that constant busyness is the main indicator of college success. Within the first week, I felt heavy pressure to be active in all the ways my peers were. I saw students trying to balance multiple jobs and organizations alongside schoolwork. As a student used to having confidence in the classroom, I felt this new standard threatened my identity and worsened my anxiety. I spent my first term struggling with doubts about my worthiness. My anxious thoughts tricked my mind into believing lies like “You’re not good enough.” A part of my mind realized those thoughts were not true, but that sensible voice was a whisper compared to the shouts of doubt. As a witness to this battle every day, I have learned that sometimes it just takes time to chip away at my mind’s inventions.
In time, I recognized that my experience as a transfer student was different but valuable. The outsider perspective helped me tackle “Drake Busy”. I watched people trying to do too much at the expense of their well-being. I wanted to shake them and say, “Why do this to yourself ”
Instead of fighting the current, I eventually learned to swim in my own lane. The pressure didn’t disappear, but my need to give in to it did. I realized that my worth wasn’t calculated by the number of meetings on my calendar, but by the real satisfaction I felt in my work. On the days I managed to balance my ambition with my peace of mind, I felt most motivated. I discovered that: true success is defined internally, not by the noise around you.
34. Before entering Drake University, the author ________.
A．adopted a relaxing lifestyle
B．longed to become a teacher
C．struggled to choose a major
D．performed well academically
35. How did the author feel within the first week at Drake University
A．Unaccustomed. B．Relieved. C．Regretful. D．Expectant.
36. What does the author think of the “Drake Busy” lifestyle
A．It lowers students’ learning efficiency.
B．It indicates students’ future success.
C．It threatens students’ well-being.
D．It erases students’ self-doubt.
37. What message does the passage deliver
A．Outsiders rarely win.
B．Your own pace matters.
C．Busyness equals worthiness.
D．Your anxiety drives you forward.
C
Friday nights have a special energy that seems to be felt by almost everyone. But what is it about Friday nights that makes people feel so happy A key psychological driver behind this phenomenon is the power of anticipation. When people are looking forward to something their mood tends to improve. Another reason people are happier on Friday nights is the sense of breaking the routine. Friday nights offer a chance to break away from that routine and socialize with friends, which can be a source of happiness.
The “weekend effect” brings a surge of happiness on Friday as work stress lifts and the freedom of the weekend begins. But for many of us, by the time Sunday afternoon rolls around, a feeling of intense anxiety and dread sets in — often referred to as the “Sunday scaries”.
A new study led by the University of Exeter has found that many employees experience the “Sunday scaries”. This phenomenon often takes the form of mental preoccupation with the week ahead, as well as feelings of nervousness and difficulty in sleeping. “It’s as if your mind starts to turn from what is generally either relaxation or enjoyment at the weekend, into worries about everything you’ve got to do in the working week ahead.” no matter how fun or relaxing Friday evening and Saturday were, the so-called “Sunday Scaries” tend to creep up while we’re enjoying the last hours of the weekend.
A new survey shows that 75% of workers experience pre-week anxiety and may report even having trouble falling asleep on Sundays compared to other nights. Today, with hybrid work becoming the norm, the isolation of working from home, the blurring of boundaries between work and life, and the invisible burden of being on call around the clock have trapped modern professionals in a cycle of exhaustion. Also, the “Sunday Scaries” intensify when we feel we should have enjoyed the weekend more, making the return to work seem unjustified. This anticipation easily blossoms into the “Monday Blues,” particularly if we’ve learned to associate work with stress.
A tool that helps us focus less on the past or future and more on the present is meditation. It teaches us to cultivate mindful awareness, observe thoughts without immediately reacting, and navigate pre-weekend anxiety with composure, all of which helps us prepare for the challenges of the upcoming week.
38. Why do people feel happy on Friday nights
A．Because they totally forget work stress on Friday nights.
B．Because they expect the weekend and escape daily life.
C．Because socializing improves work efficiency.
D．Because they are free from future worries.
39. What does “Sunday scaries” mean according to the passage
A．A strong feeling of fear and worry before the workweek.
B．A kind of mental illness that makes people sleepy.
C．The worries brought by the coming weekend.
D．The excitement of enjoying the last hours of the weekend.
40. Which of the following is NOT a cause of the “Sunday scaries”
A．The unclear line between work and personal life.
B．The stress from being available around the clock.
C．The comfort brought by flexible work patterns.
D．The regret of not making the most of the weekend.
41. What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To introduce the advantages of hybrid work.
B．To explain weekend mood shifts and provide a solution.
C．To show how to enjoy the weekend to the fullest.
D．To persuade people to work hard on Mondays.

四、阅读表达
I am a member at the Blue Ridge Mountains Writers Conference. This is the conference where I got my start about 15 years ago, so it feels special whenever I go back there.
I usually teach multiple sessions, host a table at meals where I can talk with conferees, and often have about 40-50 private appointments with attendees. I take great pleasure in giving my personal advice on the beginners' writing journey after listening to their puzzlement.
And then I realized something, as I looked across the room and saw Al Gansky and Eva Marie Everson whom I'd had private appointments with many years ago when I was one of the conferees. The only reason I am a member there now is because countless people like them have invested in me. As a new writer, I once expressed my book ideas to Al and Eva, and they encouraged me a lot. Award-winning authors Yvonne Lehman and Steven James welcomed me to their group and shared their knowledge. And Edie, Vonda, Linda, Lynette, Michelle and so many others became my writing friends, offering encouragement and support along the way. I'd never have made it on this journey without them.
Last week, I was invited to experience the life in the countryside with some writer friends. I refused the invitation at first. I was away from home a lot because of the numerous book releases and conferences. I felt so exhausted that I just wanted to stay at home. However, my sweet husband said, "Honey, why don't you go It will be good for you. It can be a great source of inspiration for you."I'd never have made it without the support of this precious man who's been my chief encourager. It moves me to tears to think about all the times he's cleaned the kitchen, folded the laundry, taken care of our children and lugged my suitcases to the car so I can chase my dreams.
I wouldn't be where I am today without all the supportive people and I want to give them a much-deserved shout-out today.

Dear Chris,
I’m glad to explain this Chinese language point to you.
Chinese is flexible in word order. The two sentences you mentioned carry the same meaning, just adjusting the position of the object. Unlike English which has fixed sentence structures, Chinese focuses more on logic rather than strict order.
Different languages have unique rules, so there’s no right or wrong. Don’t be worried about small differences. Keep speaking and writing Chinese as much as you can, and you’ll make greater progress in communication.
Best regards,
Li Jin
