"It's not a usual thing to say,but it is pretty normal for kids to want to get out of a place like Kewanee. Most kidssay something like they want to move to Hollywood and become an actor," said the30-year-old/4Whcn I first thought about it, it was daydreaming for myself1too.”Once he found himself at the academy,Pinnick said fitting in was softened byother foreigners who were in the area and a part of the school. Getting used to theway of life was surprisingly easy given the peaceful nature to it. Pinnick said after awhile,he found himself more at home in Wudang than he ever felt back home inKewanee.Locals were more than welcoming and willing to engage."The culture shock wasn't that bad. Surprisingly, I find I have more of thatgoing back to America now.learning the language did take some time,but cvcryoncaround the school was familiar with foreigners, so we had a lot of fun speakingbroken English and Chinese back and forth at the start.”After he settled into a routine, Pinnick set about engaging himself in Chineseculture,including Kungfu training. He was also attracted by the philosophicaltradition most well-known for the idea of living in harmony with the universe.Pinnick said he had to go home after the first six months and immediately wantedto return to China,feeling as if it had now become his home more than America,andhe had begun a process of rewriting himself as a person overseas.His life now goes around training, teaching and studying. He graduated fromthe academy in 2014 and still helps teach there.Pinnick said the goal is to one day return to America and teach what he has learned. Looking back on his amazing journey, Pinnick said he has grown by leaps and bounds from a small-town American kid who had a daydream he could not shake.24 .

But why is that feeling so universal?Nostalgias combination of the Greek words nostos(homecoming) and algos (pain), was a special type of homesickness associated with soldiers fighting far-off wars.Seventeenth-century physicians worried such thoughts put health at risk. Tn the 19th century,doctors believed it could cause irregular heartbeat,fever,and death.Our understanding of nostalgia has developed since then. "It's a very mixed emotion,"says Frederick BaiTett,a neuroscientist. That makes it hard to fit into existing theory,which typically categorizes emotions as either positive or negative. And Iriggers-the cars, music or smells-are extremely personal. Therefore, designing a standardized study is difficult.But we do know nostalgia has a marked effect on us: brain imaging studies show that those experiences have their own neural signature. Neuroscientists argued that the emotion is co-produced by the brain's recall and reward systems. They found that nostalgic images use the memory-managing hippocampus (海马区)more than other sights, as people mine autobiographical (个人经历的)details deep in the past. This mental effort pays off:as the hippocampus activates,so does one of the brains reward centers.That longing for the past might be a protective mechanism,says Tim Wildschut, a professor. His work also suggests a more primitive purpose for the feeling:it developed to remind our ancient ancestors of pleasant physical feelings during periods of discomfort and pain.Recent research suggests the occasional look backwards can give us a boost in unnoticeable ways: by increasing self-respect and protecting against depression. Nostalgia's apparent power to jump-start one's memory also seems to improve recall ability in people with Alzheimer's disease.New flavors of "reminiscence thcrapy, （回 法）are emerging around the world. In 2018,the George G.Glenner Alzheimer's Family Centers opened its first Town Square, an adult daycare facility designed to look like a small town in 1950s America.Though Town Square has yet to publish peer-reviewed data on the success of the program,clients say it has helped seniors access dusty memories and reconnect with loved ones.Scientists need a lot more information to adequately characterize this complex and bittersweet feeling. But while centuries of doctorsconsidered nostalgia a deadly disease, we now know: it can help us make it through today.27 . What can we learn about nostalgia?A. It was first discovered in Greece.C.It's set off by personal experiences.28 .What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.How nostalgia works.C.What nostalgia means.29 .How might nostalgia benefit people?A. It makes people's mind sharp.C.lt helps us face unpleasant situations.B.It's more common among soldiers.D.It was a well-defined scientific idea.B.Why nostalgia matters.D.When nostalgia emerges.B.It gives seniors a sense of security.D.It improves people's instant memory.30,Why does the author mention Town Square?A.To reveal a phenomenon of emotion.B.To interpret the concept of a therapy.C.To explore the advantage of a treatment.D.To demonstrate the use of a research finding.DSearch "toxic parents", and you'll find more than 38,000 posts, largely urging young adults to cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard one's mental health from abusive parents.However, as a psychoanalyst, I've seen that trend in recent years become a way to manage conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement (c) has on both sides of the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.Research by Karl Pi Hemer, a professor at Cornell University, indicates that 1 in 4 American adults have become estranged from their families. I believe that's an undercount, because others have stopped short of completely cutting off contact but have effectively broken the ties."Canceling" your parent can be seen as an extension of a cultural trend aimed at conecting imbalances in power and systemic inequality. Certainly the family is one system in which power has never been balanced. In 1933, the psychoanalyst Sandor Ferenczi warned that even the simple indication that someone has more power than we do could potentially be damaging.Today's social justice values respond to this reality, calling on us to criticize oppressive and harmful figures and to gain power for those who have been powerless. But when adult children use the most effective tool they have-themselves-to gain a sense of security and ban their parents from their lives, the roles are simply switched, and the pain only deepens.Often, what I see in my practice arc cases of family conflict mismanaged, power dynamics turned upside down rather than negotiated. I see the terrible effect of that trend; situations with no winners, only isolated (m) humans who long to be known and feel safe in the presence of the other.The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are not suddenly less dependent. In fact, they feel abandoned and betrayed, because in the unconscious, it doesn't matter who is doing the leaving; the feeling that remains is "being left'*. They carry the ghosts of their childhood, tackling the emotional reality that those who raised us can never truly be left behind, no matter how hard we try.What I have found is that most of these families need repair, not permanent break-up. How else can one learn how to negotiate needs, to create boundaries and to trust? How else can we love others, and ourselves, if not through accepting the limitations that come with being human? Good relationships are the result not of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments.To pursue dialogue instead of estrangement will be hard and painful work. It can't be a single project of self-help", because at the end of the day, real intimacy (亲密关系)is achieved by working through the injuries of the past together. In most cases of family conflict, repair is possible and preferable to estrangement-and ifs worth the work.31. Why do young people cut ties with the family?A. To gain an independent life.B. To restore harmony in the family.C. To protect their psychological w
