Run upstairs to get your keys, but fbrget that it is them you're looking fbr once you gc( to (he bedroom. Open the fridge door and reach fbr the middle shelf only to realize that wc can't remember why we opened the fridge in the first place.We can understand those temporary moments of forgetfulness may be more (han just an annoyance. Although these errors can be embarrassing, they are also common. It's known as the "Doorway Effect, and it shows some important features of how our minds are organized. Understanding this might help us accept those temporary moments of forgetfulness as more than just an annoyance.The Doonvay Effect occurs when our attention moves between levels, and it reflects the tiust in our memories-even memories for what we were about to do-on the environment we're in.Imagine that we're going upstairs to get our keys and forget that it is the keys we came fbr as soon as we enter the bedroom. Psychologically, what has happened is that the plan ("Keys!") has been forgotten even in the middle of carrying out a necessary part of the strategy (“Go to bedroom!”). Probably the plan itself is part of a larger plan ("Gel ready to leave the house!")，which is part of plans on a wider and wider field ("Go to work!”，"Keep my job!”, "Be a productive and responsible citizen”, or whatever). Each field requires attention at some point. Somewhere in controlling the complex levels, the need for keys suddenly comes into mind.Our memories, even for our goals, are planted in webs of connections. That can be the physical environment in which we form them, which is why revisiting our childhood home can bring back a flood of previously forgotten memories, or it can be the mental environmentthe set of things we were just thinking about when that thing suddenly comes into mind.The Doonvay Effect occurs because we change both the physical and mental environments, moving to a different room and thinking about different things. That hurriedly thought-up goal, which was probably only one plate among the many we're trying to spin (旋 转),gets forgotten when the context changes.23. The main purpose of the first paragraph is.A. to call attention to the danger of forgetfulness B. to remind us of our weak memoryC. to present daily factsD. to introduce the topicWhat does the writer think about those temporaiy moments of forgetfulness?A. They are embarrassing and should be avoided.B. They can be underst(x)d and accepted.C. They are important features of our minds.D.They show that our minds are out of order.高二英语试题第3页共8页24.

By making comparisons.D. By giving examples.CThe thought of low material need and being unwilling to work, marry and have children, is described as a “lying down“ liiestyle recently. It creates an emotional reaction among many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly competitive society.Many young people complained to the Global Tinies that duties, including work stress, family argument and financial pressure, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the "involution （内卷）”,joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get stuck in an endless competition against peers（同龄人）.“Instead of always following the 4 good quality' of struggle and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as release and adjuslmcnl,“ said an expert. 4iIt is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage （按 揭）today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries bchind.Interestingly, the majority of young people, who claim to be big fans of （he lying down philosophy, admit that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youih have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel ashamed about their constant loss of morale （±/1）.uYoung people have both ambition and confusion about their future, but most of us have refused to waste opportunities and challenges,a postgraduate student told the Global Times.

You can'l expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too.The way to change people's minds is to become friends with them, to combine them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle. Now, they can change their beliefs without the risk of being abandoned socially.The British philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals with those who disagree with us: "Silting down at a table with a group of strangers has the incomparable and odd benefit of making it a little more difficuli to hate them without punishment. Prejudice and conflict between groups of people from different nations or races feed off abstraction. However, during a meal, something about handing dishes around, unfolding napkins al the same moment, even asking a stranger to pass the salt makes us less likely to hold the belief that the outsiders who wear unusual clothes and speak in distinctive accents deserve (o be sent home or attacked. For all the large-scale political solutions which have been proposed to ease racial or cultural conflict, (here are few more effective ways (o promote tolerance between suspicious neighbours than to force them to eat supper together.Perhaps it is not difference, but distance that produces tribalism and unfriendliness. As proxiniiln increases, so does understanding. I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln's quote, don't like that man. I must get to know him better.,' Facts don't change our minds. Friendship does.The Japanese writer Haniki Murakami once wrote, “Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right.''When we are in (he iiK)ment, we can easily forget that (he goal is to connect with (he other side, coopeniie with them, befriend them, and integrate them into our tribe. We are so caught up in winning that we Ibrget about connecting. It's easy to spend your energy labeling people rather than working with them.The word “kind (family and relatives)" originated from the word “kin (old fashion of family and relatives).“ When you arc kind to someone, it means you arc treating them like family. This, I think, is a good method for actually changing someone's mind. Develop a friendship. Share a meal. Gift a book. Be kind first, be right later.32.

Here arc some effective tools to help you master change.Keep things in perspective.Being able to step back and observe each situation within the context of the “bigger picture'' of your life helps you process your feelings about the importance of a certain event or situation. Learning to keep things in a healthy perspective may help reduce distraction and moderate emotional responses.36Fully assess the situation before you take action.Understand all your options before you do anything. Really think it through. 37 Otherwise, you'll be wasting your time and energy trying to figure things out. Maintain total clarity （清晰）so you can deal with and accomplish your desired goal.Maintain realistic expectations.Situations can change. 38 In other words, be flexible about the outcome. Even if the change falls short of your expectation, that's OK. Over time, you'll be able to course-correct by making other decisions to help guide you on your way to the outcome you originally wanted.39This is an important point. Early in lile, with little or no experience to draw upon, you may feel confused and afr
