2 . The silence was broken by the voice of a child. Out of the window, I saw my neighbor and her six-year-old daughter, Ayuni, playing in the park. Ayuni tried to climb the ladders of the slide again and again. Ayuni cried, shouted at her mother to help her, and then fell, but her mother told her to try again. Every time Ayuni fell off the ladder, her mother asked her to get up rather than helping her and wiping her tears.
I saw Ayuni shouting in anger, “You are the worst mother; I hate you!” But her mother listened to that quietly and patiently, and then she told her to try again. I was confused about why she was doing that. Even if she wanted Ayuni to learn to climb the ladders, she had to first help her by holding her and showing it practically to her. After all, Ayuni was too young to learn this based on verbal (口头的) instructions. Oh! I saw her mother trying to hide her tears as Ayuni fell for the 13th time! Then, I got curious to know what was going on!
Later, I noticed there was a letter that was addressed to my mother on the desk near the window. I saw the signature “Lavangi”, which is the name of the little girl’s mother. From the letter, I knew why she did that. Now, I extract the following from this letter: “Dear Manya, you’ve been like my elder sister and I’m emotionally attached to you so I decided to write this letter. I’ve been diagnosed with the last stage of cancer. I just want you to know that I love you.
You’ve been a great supporter during my difficult time. The last favor I need from you is to keep an eye on my daughter, little Ayuni...”
After I read the letter, my tears rolled down my cheeks and I realized Ayuni’s mother was trying to teach Ayuni a lesson that she must be strong enough to live without her and do things by herself in the future. I gazed out of the window and then closed my eyes praying for Ayuni. I wished everything would go well with her.

4 . The workplace can be a perfect breeding-ground for “Misergonia”,also called desk rage (愤怒). It's a condition in which a series of noises and disorders cause people distress.
Sounds are often the trigger for Misergonia. The routine fire-alarm test is a case in point.“Attention please, attention please,” shouts a voice that is impossible to ignore.
Small IT failures are a fact of office life, but they can still be soul-destroying. The printer just doesn’t work.
Individual workers have their own triggers. There is no cure for Misergonia. The workplace is a collection of people keeping in touch in different ways. Their habits and noises turn into something familiar for some colleagues but annoying for others.
| A．You'd better ask them for help. |
| B．And then there is the reply-all email. |
| C．Other noises are not so loud but just as annoying. |
| D．Or the mouse that gives up at just the wrong moment. |
| E．Nowadays, the computer has become an essential tool. |
| F．The only release is to try to be understanding and get used to it. |
| G．Verbal phrases(口头禅)are another headache for Misergonia sufferers. |
5 . Have you ever bought a new car and started noticing the exact color and model of car everywhere? Has that type of car just become popular in your city? Were they there before? Or are you just going crazy?
You’re not going crazy. The reason you are now just noticing them is what psychologists call “priming”. Basically, the cars were always there. You just didn’t recognize them consciously. However, when that certain model of car becomes part of your conscious thinking, you start “automatically” recognizing all of the other cars that are the same, because you are already “primed” to do so.
The priming effect takes many forms. In one study, students were asked to walk around a room for 5 minutes at a rate of 30 steps per minute, which was about one-third their normal pace. After this brief experience, the participants were much quicker to recognize words related to old age, such as forgetful, old, and lonely. Reciprocal priming effects tend to produce a coherent reaction: if you are primed to think of old age, you would tend to act old, and acting old would reinforce the thought of old age. This research shows that the way we think influences the way we act, and the way we act influences the way we think.
A similar conclusion was reached by the American psychologist William James a century ago, but he emphasized the effect on feeling. “Actions seem to follow feeling, but really actions and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not. Thus the path to cheerfulness, should our cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there.”
So, that’s it. If you want to be happy, just sit up and act happy. Based on these scientific findings, we can adopt certain priming effects to help make ourselves consistently happier.
One thing we have in common is our ability to think, and thus feel. Pleasant thoughts have been proven to produce the chemicals that make us feel happy, particularly thoughts and feelings of gratitude. When we purposefully go through and think about the things we’re grateful for and deliberately feel as much gratitude as we can, we are flooding our mind with the “happy chemicals”. Furthermore, by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, we will be “primed” to recognize the things in our life to appreciate. Each time this happens, the “happy chemicals” will be produced. Do this every day and we will become consistently happier. This makes up for the momentary happiness we gain from eating chocolate or buying new clothes. More than that, combining thoughts of gratitude with happy acts like smiling and laughing will have a supplementary positive effect on our state of mind.
1. Which of the following is an example of the priming effect?| A．Walking much faster after attending a lecture about old age. |
| B．Donating money to the poor after seeing pictures of cute cats. |
| C．Learning about various types of cars after purchasing the first car. |
| D．Completing SO_P as SOUP rather than SOAP after seeing the word EAT. |
| A．Related. | B．Two-way. | C．Well-rounded. | D．Opposite. |
| A．Eating or shopping leads to consistent feelings of happiness. |
| B．Our will has greater control over emotions than over actions. |
| C．Happy chemicals make us think about the things we’re grateful for. |
| D．Practicing gratitude frequently prepares us for long-term happiness. |
| A．Prime Yourself to Be Happier |
| B．Share Happiness to Enhance Wellbeing |
| C．Why Gratitude Is Important in Psychology |
| D．How Happy Chemicals Affect People’s Thoughts |
Coping With the Sunday Scaries
A few years ago, I was in the kitchen of a friend’s house preparing a meal. When we all sat down to eat, my friend’s wife wolfed down her supper and then disappeared into another room to do some work. He smiled and said, “Sunday nights are the new Monday mornings around here.”
I was surprised at the time. Now, I find myself
Apparently, my Sunday-night anxieties and Monday-morning blues are not unique to me alone. A new study led by Ilke Inceoglu from the University of Exeter found that this phenomenon often takes the form of mental concerns about the week ahead, as well as feelings of nervousness and difficulty with sleeping. “It’s as if your mind moves away from

What should we do about the “Sunday scaries”? Researchers have offered some useful suggestions that
7 . Life is full of surprises. You never know what’s going to happen from one day to the next.
One way to fight against these negative feelings is through optimism,
When something bad happens, optimists are less likely than pessimists to blame themselves or others for what happened. They don’t consider these negative emotions. They are able to see things from a positive perspective, even when something doesn’t go as planned.
So it’s important to face bad things bravely and keep a positive mind. Of course, it’s important to remember that optimism can’t put a stop to all bad things.
| A．It can be exciting. |
| B．It can be a positive attitude to difficulty. |
| C．Too much optimism can also be harmful. |
| D．Optimism is a positive attitude toward the future in general. |
| E．This kind of thinking can help lower stress and improve mental health. |
| F．When you are optimistic, you’re also more likely to control the situation. |
| G．No matter how positive you are, there’ll be times when bad things happen. |
8 . Turn FOMO into JOMO
It’s weekend. You friends are throwing a party while you stay in. Then suddenly you begin to imagine the fun your friends are having in your absence.
Enjoy your own company (陪伴).
Keep a journal. If you always post the fun things you do on social media, you may find yourself caring too much about whether people are validating (确认) your experiences online. To make a change, you might as well keep a personal journal on paper.
Switch off. We usually keep our devices on in case someone needs to reach us. But when your minds are always on your phone, you simply cannot be present. You are very likely to be distracted and unaware of what matters to you. So try to reduce your screen time and live in the moment.
| A．But some people feel the opposite. |
| B．FOMO signals a lack of engagement. |
| C．And your initial calm turns into anxiety. |
| D．JOMO is the enjoyment of time spent alone. |
| E．You will find you are actually not missing out on anything. |
| F．Feeling left out indicates we want to increase our sense of belonging. |
| G．Thus you can turn your focus from public attention to private appreciation. |

| G．Once you do this, you will know whether you are creating a goal for yourself or not. |
I had a very peaceful childhood and I mostly ignored the fact that my elder sister was different. She got “Asperger Syndrome” (社交困难症). It turned my parents’ world upside down - but they never let it affect me. My parents worked very hard at ensuring that everything seemed pleasant and quiet for me.
It was only at the age of ten that I started to notice the differences and became aware of my social life and self-image that I had carefully built up. My sister on the other hand, was socially awkward. She could not look at people in the eye. She would whisper to herself and repeat the words she had just said. However, she was academically capable, so we attended the same primary school. Despite this, I never admitted in public that she was my sister.
However, there was one incident that changed how I viewed my sister and changed me.
Being in primary six, about to graduate, my sister and her classmates had to put on a performance, whether in a group, or on their own. Because she failed to join others, she was the only one left without a group. The school had made it a must for everyone to perform, so my sister had to do it by herself. “I’ll sing,” my sister told my parents, somewhat confidently.
Hearing that, I was completely shocked. How could my sister who was socially awkward, sing in front of the school? I knew so very well that if I allowed this to happen, she would embarrass me. “No!” I protested. My parents shot me a look and I knew my sister was going to perform anyway, and I was going to be part of the audience watching her. Silently, I wished that something would happen and I would not have to watch my sister lose face.
