I had just pulled into the local gas station to fill my tank. After pumping the gas I started to walk inside to pay. That is when I noticed them. Two elderly women stood back from their car. There was a mixture of shock, fear, and horror on their faces. I looked and saw what they saw. Five yellow jackets had started to build a nest around their gas cap. My eyes widened. I shared the ladies 5 fear.Yellow jackets had never been friends of mine. Several times these bad tempered wasps （黄蜂）had attacked me while I was mowing my lawn giving me multiple stings （叮咬）each time I ran over their ground nests. They are the reason why I never repair my lawn in shorts anymore. The worst time, however, happened when I was a young boy. A friend of mine and I were running and playing in my backyard. I must have stepped on one of their hidden nests again because before I knew it both of us were being chased and stung over and over by the yellow jackets while we ran away screaming. I ran to my Mom with tears in my eyes. She immediately ran a cold bath and put us both in it to ease the pain and itching （发痒）before giving us medicine to fight all the poison in our little bodies from the stings.Still, I knew I couldnt let fear stop me now. I reached into my back pocket for a paper towel I had there, tore out the nest and stepped on it while the angry wasps buzzed around me. Both of the ladies thanked me and I said, "You're welcome!” with a smile and a happy heart.4. Why were the two elderly ladies scared in the oil station?A. They couldn't find the way back home.B.

In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice. But what if these arent the only options?In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life. It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences. Sometimes they are neither pleasant nor meaningful. However, they are rarely boring or monotonous.After all, both happy and meaningful lives can become monotonous and repetitive. A person with a steady office job, married with children, may be satisfied and find his or her life meaningful and still be bored. Also, the psychologically rich life doesnt necessarily involve economic richness. For instance, consider Hesses character Goldmund, who has no money but pursues the life of a free spirit.Research has found psychological richness is related to, but partially distinct from, both happy and meaningful lives. Psychological richness is related with openness to experience and experiencing both positive and negative emotions more intensely. But is the psychologically rich life one that people actually want? In a new study, Oishi and his colleagues asked people in nine countries the degree to which they value a psychologically rich life, a happy life and a meaningful life. They found many peoples self-described ideal lives involve psychological richness. When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany.These numbers went up when the desire for a psychologically rich life was measured indirectly. To understand what a person wishes their lives might have been, it is important to explore what people wish they had avoided in their lives. When asked what they regret most and whether undoing this event would have made their lives happier, more meaningful or psychologically richer, about 28% of Americans said undoing the regrettable event would have made their lives psychologically richer. These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence. As Oishi and his colleagues conclude, “We believe that taking the psychologically rich life seriously will deepen and enrich our understanding of well-being.” At the end of the day, there is no one singularly acceptable path to the good life. You have to find a path that works best for you. 7.

Do you guess or search for the answer? Searching online for the answer may get you a better grade on the homework. But a study suggests it won't necessarily help you learn.Psychologist Arnold Glass gave his students a series of quiz-style online homework assignments. The day before a lesson, students answered homework questions about the upcoming material. They answered similar questions in class a week later and again on the exam. If you read about a topic again and again, you're not likely to remember it very well. But if you test yourself again and again, you will have better performance in the end. So the students in Glass's classes should have performed better on each set of questions in the homework series, and then best of all on the exam.For many years, students had improved through each set of questions and did best on the exam. But later, many students are doing more poorly on the exam than before. Glass wonders “What a bizarre result that is? How can it be?” His students tend to blame themselves, thinking, "I'm not smart enough," or “I should have studied more. " He suspects something else is going on, so he think about what has changed over those 11 years. One big thing is the rise of smartphones. So it is easier today to quickly go online and find the answer to just about any homework question. But students can't use phones during an exam. And that might explain why they aren't doing as well on the tests.To test this, Glass and Kang asked students in 2017 and 2018 whether they came up with their homework answers themselves or looked them up. Students who tended to look up answers also tended to do better on homework than their exams.12. What can we infer from the first 2 paragraphs?A. Doing homework online is a trend.B. Childish question is hard to answer.C. Thinking over a question helps you a lot. D. It is necessary to find an effective learning method. 13. What can we know about Arnold Glass , tests?A. Students get enough knowledge from tests.B. Questions on tests were chosen from homework.C. Students performed better on tests than on homework.D. Questions on tests had nothing to do with homework.14. What does the underlined word "bizarre" mean?A. Final.B. Strange.C. Possible.D. Obvious.15. What would be the best title?A. Bad Effects of Online KnowledgeB. Technology Is not Always Good for UsC. What Is the Best Way to Get KnowledgeD. Guessing Answers or Searching Them OnlinePART B根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Poor Sleep and Loneliness: A Vicious Cycle?The feeling of being lonely is the sense that you have less social contact with others than you want. It is not quite the same as the amount of social contact you have. Some people dont engage that often with others, but they are perfectly fine with that, and so they dont feel alone. 16 Being lonely is associated with poorer psychological health.One area of research has focused specifically on the relationship between loneliness and sleep. There are several inter-related questions: Is feeling lonely related to the quality of peoples sleep? What aspects of sleep are related to loneliness? And does loneliness cause sleep problems, or do difficulties with sleeping lead to feelings of loneliness? 17 The relationship between loneliness and sleep was explored in a paper by Melanie Hom and Caol Chu in the September 2020 issue of Clinical Psychological Science. They analyzed the data of previous studies relating sleep quality to feelings of loneliness. 18 This relationship is stronger for insomnia (失眠症) than for sleep complaints like nightmares. In addition, the more loneliness people express, the less effective they think their sleep is. Although poor sleep and loneliness are closely related, it is hard to determine whether loneliness causes sleep difficulties or the reverse (相反). 19 It is because you can look to see whether sleep difficulties at one time predict later feelings of loneliness or whether loneliness early on predicts later sleep difficulties. Interestingly, sleep problems predicted later loneliness and loneliness predicted later sleep difficulties. However, the connection between earlier sleep difficulties and later loneliness was generally stronger than that between earlier loneliness and later sleep difficulties. This pattern suggests that there may be a vicious cycle, though, in which poor sleep can increase feelings of loneliness, which can in turn increase sleep difficulties.If you are someone who has trouble sleeping, be aware that poor sleep lowers your resilience (复原力) overall. Among other things, it may make it harder for you to appreciate the social contacts you have. 20 That added social engagement just might have a positive impact on your future sleep.A. Long-term studies that follow the same people over time help.B. If you have difficulty in social engagement, you may feel lonely.C. Other people may spend a lot of time with others, but still long for more.D. These issues are important because poor sleep can affect psychological health.E. To solve the problem, you should monitor your sleeping quality and physical health.F. If you have trouble sleeping, try spending more time reaching out to friends and loved ones.G. The results indicate that the more sleep difficulties people express they have, the lonelier they feel.1-3. D B C 4-7CDBB8-11. C BDC 12-15CBBD 16-20.CDGAF
