19、elf a writer of fiction,Emaux has used the term“an ethnologist(民族学家)of herself”to describe herself.Born in 1940 in a rural village in Nomandy,France,Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment as her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe.She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time

20、writer.According to CNN,her“upbringing and experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood”inspire many of her works.For example the book Shame explores the theme of childhood trauma while A Girls Story follows a young womans coming of age in the 1950s.Though the matters Ernaux describes in her boo

27、ace where we tend to dislike variety,and thats in each other.We often feel uncomfortable with people who practise different habits,or hold beliefs or values that we do not share.There are reasons for this.When we are exposed to new and different things,our brain works a bit harder than usual.When we

28、re learning,our nerve cells require more resources,such as water,salt,and various other chemicals.This extra metabolic(新陈代谢的)activity can 高三 英语高三 英语第 6 页（共 12 页）第 6 页（共 12 页）feel unsettling and unpleasant.And it can feel worse if our nervous system is already under pressure,like in the midst of the

29、pandemic.This sort of variation may be uncomfortable for individuals,but its critical to the survival of any species.If all finches(雀科鸣鸟)were identical,for example,and their environment changed in some significant,harmful ways,like an increase in the temperature or a decrease in water,all of them wo

30、uld be equally affected and the species might become extinct.This insight into variation comes from Charles Darwin,and its known as population thinking.Most people associate Darwin with his evolutionary theory of natural selection,but population thinking may be an even greater scientific achievement

31、.The idea of“survival of the fittest”implies that individuals must vary.Some are more suited than others for a given environment,making it easier for them to survive,grow,and reproduce.Variation is therefore a prerequisite for natural selection to work.Dealing with the vast variety of humankind can

32、be demanding and even annoying at times,but its a good investment,sort of like exercise for your brain.When you meet someone who looks different or thinks differently from you,treat your discomfort as a cue to be curious and learn instead of a signal of a problem.Dont hold the view that the other pe

37、,being apart from her friend on the opposite coast has proved challenging.Sometimes a text or video call is not enough,and people in Salvatos situation often long for a way to send a comforting hug from afar.In a new study detailed in IEEE Transactions on Haptics,she and her colleagues demonstrated

38、a wearable sleeve that can simulate(模 拟)human touch and convey social messages sent electronically.Salvato and her team measured how 37 participants expressed social messages in different situations.In each test,one person wore a pressure-sensing device on an arm,and another touched it to respond to

39、 six different scenes:attention seeking,gratitude,happiness,calming,love and sadness.After collecting 661 touch movements,Salvato and her colleagues mapped the location and pressure of each.Next,they used a machine-learning algorithm(算法)to select the movements that were most reliable part of each re

40、sponse.Finally,they programmed a wearable sleeve to simulate these movements using eight built-in disks that vibrate when electronically signaled.“The instant it received signals,I could feel the touch and identify its intended meaning.”One participant reported.高三 英语高三 英语第 8 页（共 12 页）第 8 页（共 12 页）Ev

41、en with no training,the participants correctly matched the simulated touches to the six scenes 45 percent of the time.For comparison,a previous study found participants could match scenes for touches from real human hands 55 percent of the time.Gerling,a touch researcher at Harvard who was not invol

42、ved in the study,said the invention was really surprising.But the study was small and needs to cover far larger groups of people to determine exactly which are the most desirable responses.Besides,he believes the sleeve surely will enjoy great popularity once launched on the market.32.What were part

43、icipants asked to do during the study?A.Pick up reliable responses.B.Model on electronic touches.C.Respond to different situations.D.Mark out programmed movements.33.Why did Salvato and her team invent the wearable sleeve?A.To keep track of the COVID-19 pandemic.B.To imitate human touch and express

47、,and in the mission statements of companies.36 One of the biggest misconceptions about growth mindset is that it is the same thing as being open-minded in your beliefs.This is untrue.Being open-minded in your beliefs is often the belief on what true growth mindset is,but this is actually called“fals

48、e growth mindset”in the research community.37 What this means is that they have a fixed belief on their intelligence level,which is exactly what a fixed mindset is.They believe that they are growing,when in reality they are not.Being open-minded to other peoples beliefs and new things is great,but i

49、t does not mean that you are actually learning anything.Furthermore,there is no way to ever have a truly complete growth mindset.38 It is important that you accept this and embrace it,while still desiring to experience growth anyway.This is the only way you can truly foster a growth mindset.39 Unpro

50、ductive efforts that are merely done for the reward or outcome are not considered to be growth mindset.True growth mindset has nothing to do with reward or outcome.Rather,it is based entirely on the learning and growing process itself.When you are invested in a growth mindset,you are invested in the
