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 (21)________ (behave) in exactly the same manner. Every time I open up my calendar on Sunday evening, a subtle sense of dread comes over me. I feel (22)________ ________ I am behind before the week has even begun.
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 (23)________ has been experienced over the weekend as the general sense of relaxation or enjoyment, and quickly shifts towards whatever worries you have about everything you’ve got to do in the work week ahead,” said one of Inceoglu’s respondents.
Inceoglu found that these Sunday scaries were particularly pronounced (24)________ people who frequently checked their emails during the weekend, had tasks left over from the previous week, and had unreasonably high expectations of themselves. These matters seem (25)________(make) worse as a result of the pandemic, where the rise of working from home (26)________(blur) the boundaries between work and leisure.
What should we do about the “Sunday scaries” Researchers have offered some useful suggestions that (27)________ help us make Monday less depressing. One is to change (28)________ you think about the weekend. One U.S. study found that when participants were asked to treat their weekend as a mini-vacation, they tended to do more cheerful activities and returned to work on Monday satisfied with their jobs. (29)________ second way is to redesign our Monday so that it has some of the features that make us feel good during the weekend. Introducing simple changes, such as starting the day with something you are good at, setting aside a little unstructured time where you are able to do what you want, or setting up a lunchtime date with (30)________ you find enjoyable to be around, could make all the difference.
Section B（单选）
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A. technical B. attributed C. confined D. observations E. sensation F. totaling G. anticipatory H. consistent I. precisely J. suspicious K. attached
For centuries, people have described unusual animal behavior just ahead of seismic(地震的) events: dogs barking endlessly, cows halting their milk, toads leaping from ponds. A few researchers have tried to prove a link, but most such attempts have relied largely on anecdotes and single (31)________.
Now researchers at the University of Konstanz, along with a multinational team of colleagues, say they have managed to (32)________ measure increased activity in a group of farm animals prior to seismic activity. During separate periods (33)________ about four months in 2016 and 2017, the researchers (34)________ these highly sensitive biologgers and GPS sensors, which can record accelerated movements in any direction, to six cows, five sheep and two dogs living on a farm in an earthquake-prone area of northern Italy to keep track of the activities and the nervousness of animals. “Only now can we do continuous biologging,” says study co-author Martin Wikelski. “Because the (35)________ possibilities are finally there.”
The paper’s statistical analysis showed animals’ activity significantly increased before magnitude 3.8 or greater earthquakes when they were housed together in a stable—but not when they were out to pasture(吃草). Wikelski says this difference could be linked to the increased stress some animals feel in (36)________ spaces. Analyzing the increased movements as a whole, the researchers claim, showed a clear signal of (37)________ behavior hours ahead of tremors.
Besides, it showed that the farm animals appeared to anticipate quakes anywhere from one to 20 hours ahead, reacting earlier when they were closer to the origin and later when they were farther away. This finding is (38)________ with a hypothesis that animals somehow sense a signal that spreads outward. It holds that in the days before an earthquake, shifting tectonic plates(地壳板块) squeeze rocks along a fault line, causing the rocks to release minerals that force ions into the air, and then the animals react to this novel (39)________.
Not involved with the new study, Wendy Bohon, a geologist from Washington, D.C., is (40)________ of the air ionization idea. Heiko Woith, a geologist at GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences, says the time frame was still too short and points out that limited data collection in many studies makes it impossible to determine whether a measured signal was related to a quake or was simply noise.
III. Reading Comprehension (1’*15+2’*11+2’*4=45’)
Section A (单选)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
You May Need a Few Minutes of Brisk Activity jog around the block... Which ones would best help or hurt your brain A recent study attempted to Walking from room to room, running up and down stairs to deliver folded laundry, or taking a answer that question by strapping(绑上) activity monitors to the thighs of nearly 4,500 people in the United Kingdom and (41)________ their 24-hour movements for seven days. Researchers then examined how participants’ behavior affected their short-term memory, problem-solving and processing skills.
Here’s the good news. People who spent “even small amounts of time in more vigorous activities—as little as six to nine minutes—compared to sitting, sleeping or. gentle activities had(42)________ cognition scores,” said study author John Mitchell.
Moderate physical activity is (43)________ defined as brisk walking or bicycling or running up and down stairs. Vigorous movement (44)________ dancing, jogging, running, swimming to biking up a hill—basically any activity that is able to (45)________ your heart rate and breathing.
The study found that doing just under 10 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) each day led to (46)________ in study participants’ working memory. In addition, 10 minutes of MVPA had its biggest impact on executive processes such as (47)________and organization.
The cognitive improvement was (48)________, but the research found that the benefits grew the more time a person spent (49)________in the activity of an energetic workout, Mitchell said.
“Now that we don’t monitor participants’ cognition over the course of many years, the results of this study may simply be telling us that those individuals who move more tend to have higher cognition on average,” he said. “While on the other hand, the results do also imply that even making (50)________ changes to our daily lives can have (51)________ consequences for our cognition.”
There was bad news as well. Spending more time sleeping, sitting or engaged only in mild movement was linked to a negative impact on the brain. The study found cognition declined 1% to 2% after replacing an (52)________ portion of MVPA with eight minutes of sedentary (久坐的) behavior, six minutes of light intensity or seven minutes of sleep.
Additional studies need to be done to (53)________ these findings and to better understand the role that each type of activity plays (54)________ our cognitive abilities. However, Mitchell said, the study “highlights how even very modest differences in people’s daily movements— less than 10 minutes— can be linked to the (55)________of quite real changes to our cognitive health.”

Section B（单选）
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Brenda Thomas’s heart became a shell when her 21-year-old son died in a motorcycle accident in September 2019, only one week into his senior year of college. But she has found something that helps her to deal with her grief.
She keeps “acts of kindness” cards in honor of her son. These folded pieces of paper are tucked in her purse at all times and always stored in the glove compartment of her car. Whenever she does a good deed for a stranger— which is about once a week— she passes along a card with a message written on it: “If you receive this card, then you must be a recipient of a random act of kindness.” At the top of each note is her son’s name, Trevor Paul Thomas.
Trevor was an athlete who played baseball at Allegany College of Maryland and Penn State Fayette. He was a loyal friend and a force for good, with a witty sense of humor and a big smile. According to his mother, one of Trevor’s best qualities was his compassion for others, no matter how well he knew them. He regularly shoveled(铲) snow off the driveways of older neighbors, delivered hot meals to those in need, and befriended classmates who struggled to fit in. It seemed a natural fit to launch a kindness campaign in his memory.
The Thomas family adopted the “acts of kindness” cards to mark what would have been Trevor’s 23 birthday. They hoped that these cards would encourage people to do a good deed as part of Trevor’s legacy. On each card, they included a mantra (箴言) that the family said best describes the way Trevor had lived his life: “Be somebody who makes everybody feel like somebody.”
Recently, while dining with her daughter Whitney in a restaurant, Brenda decided to pay for the meal of a mother and two children. The recipient of Brenda’s spontaneous (发自内心的) gift was Liana Arruda. She was taking her nine-year-old son and his five-year-old sister for dinner. She felt shocked and moved after the waitress handed her the card. She used it as an opportunity to teach her children about compassion and is now brainstorming ways to pass on the goodness. “I’m waiting to find the perfect opportunity,” she said. “I want it to matter, because it mattered to me.”
For the Thomas family, while there is still—and forever will be—a massive void(空虚感) in their lives without Trevor, committing to “living like him” has helped them turn their pain into purpose. “We’ll keep paying it forward in Trevor’s honor because it would make him so proud,” said Brenda.
56. Trevor Paul can be best described as
A. ambitious, witty and optimistic
B. sympathetic, humorous and warmhearted

D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
58. Which of the following statements is TURE
A. Trevor would have graduated from university within one year but for the accident.
B. Every time Brenda does a good deed for others, they’ll receive an anonymous card.
C. Liana was astonished and touched because her two children gave her the gift spontaneously.
D. Liana has found a perfect opportunity to pass on the goodness and teach her children about compassion.
59. What conclusion can we draw from the passage
A. Your pain can be turned into purpose to push you forward.
B. Compassion means standing in others shoes.
C. Void can be replaced with satisfaction by “living like him”.
D. Committing to “following his way” is a good way to honor somebody.

(C)
When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, toiling away in a typical existence
Many scholars agree that a subjectively meaningful existence often boils down to three factors: the feeling that one’s life is coherent and “makes sense,” the possession of clear and satisfying long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters in the grand scheme of things. Psychologists call these three things coherence, purpose and existential mattering.
But we believe there is another element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation. The phenomenon reflects the feeling of a deep connection to events as they happen and the ability to extract value from that link. It represents the detection of and admiration for life’s inherent beauty.
We recently set out to better understand this form of appreciation in a series of studies, published in Nature Human Behaviour, that involved more than 3,000 participants. Across these studies, we were interested in whether experiential appreciation was related to a person’s sense of meaning even when we accounted for the effects of the classic trio of coherence, purpose and existential mattering. If so, experiential appreciation could be a unique contributor to meaningfulness and not simply a product of these other variables.
As an initial test of our idea, during the early stages of the COVID pandemic, we had participants rate their endorsement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. We found that people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. In the next study, we asked participants to rate the extent to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I have a great appreciation for the beauty of life” as well as other statement related to coherence, purpose, existential mattering and a general sense of meaning in life. Our results showed that the more people indicated that they were “appreciating life” and its many experiences, the more they felt their existence was valuable. In fact, these two elements related strongly to each other even when we controlled for other aspects of a meaningful life.
Finally, we conducted a series of experiments in which we gave people specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, mattering, etc.. The results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. We are on the go, and we attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday.
63. What factor accounts for the life meaning of ordinary people besides coherence, purpose and existential mattering
A. Contribution. B. Possession.
C. Experiential appreciation. D. Inherent beauty.
64. We can infer from the passage that ____________.
A. Experiential appreciation is a product of existential mattering.
B. Focusing on future outcome can help maximize output.
C. The following experiments in the study are opposed to the result of the initial test.
D. We’d better appreciate small things in daily life despite the fast-paced lifestyles.
65. The underlined word “endorsement”(PSL2) is closest in meaning to ____________.
A. enjoyment B. approval C. rejection D. comment
66. Which of the following is the author most likely to agree with
A. During the COVID pandemic, it’s difficult to find coping strategies to relieve stress.
B. Maximizing output motivates people to catch what is happening right now.
C. Appreciating life and its experiences can enhance the feeling of valuable existence.
D. In modern society, it’s common practice to appreciate small things to make life more meaningful.
Section C（单选）
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. There is much truth in that statement. B. Friendship fades without a sincere conversation. C. Whatever it is, conversationalist does contribute to our happiness. D. Such conversations remain among the memories that we cherish for life. E. Those who are wise seldom know how to talk, and those who talk are seldom wise. F. A similar difference may be noted between business letters and the letters of literary friends.
“TALKING with you for one night is better than studying books for ten years” this was the comment of an old Chinese scholar after he had had a conversation with a friend. (67)__________________ And today the phrase “a night’s talk” has become a current expression for a happy conversation with a friend at night, either past or expected.
Such a supreme pleasure as having a perfect conversation with a friend at night is necessarily rare, for as the playwright Li Liweng has pointed out, (68) “__________________” The discovery of a man up in a mountain temple, who really understands life and at the same time understands the art of conversation, must therefore be one of the keenest pleasures, like the discovery of a new planet by an astronomer or of a new variety of plant by a botanist.
There is an evident distinction between mere talking and conversation as such. This distinction is made in the Chinese language between shuohua (speaking) and tanhua (conversation), which implies that in conversation the language used is more chatty and leisurely and the topics more trivial and less business like.
(69)__________________We can discuss business with almost any person, but there are very few people with whom we can truly hold a night’s conversation. Hence, when we do find a true conversationalist, the pleasure is equal to, if not above, that of reading a delightful author, with the additional pleasure of hearing his voice and seeing his gestures.
Sometimes we find it at the happy reunion of old friends, or among acquaintances indulging in good memories, and sometimes among strangers on a distant journey. There will be chats about ghosts and fox spirits, mixed with amusing tales or impassioned(激昂的) comments: on international affairs, and sometimes before we know it, a wise observer and conversationalist may shed light on things that have bothered you for a long time.

IV. Summary Writing (简答10)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
71.
Why You Need a Network of Casual Friends
When I was laid off in 2015, I tweeted it the way any young people would in the hope that someone in my social network would point me to potential opportunities. To my surprise, a friend of a friend alerted me to an opening in her department by Facebook message, and she became my boss three rounds of interviews later.
Think of the parents you see in the drop-off zone at school, your favorite waiter, the other dog owners at the park. Sociologists call these relationships “weak ties.” Not only can these connections affect our job prospects, but they can also have a positive impact on our well-being.
Maintaining the network of acquaintances can help you feel more connected. The desire to belong and form social attachments is a basic human need, alongside food, sleep and safety. But once we hit 25, the number of friends we have peaks and becomes smaller over time, according to a 2016 study. As we get older and priorities shift from after-work bowling league to after-school pickup, maintaining a loaded social calendar becomes less important. Staying socially engaged, then, is integral to personal fulfillment.
Besides, having at least a few acquaintances can connect us with a larger circle of people, which is fantastic news, say, for job hunters. Even if our friends want to help us find a job, the weak ties are often the ones who widen the job-search playing field.
Those acquaintances also provide us with a wider worldview. Regularly interacting with people who have different experiences than we do allows us to be more mindful of others’ circumstances. This, in turn, builds empathy.
Still, casual friends have a lot to offer. Uncovering surprising tidbits(花边新闻) about the regular players in one’s life—discovering that your neighbor is an accomplished dancer, for instance—can spice up your day.
So next time you see a friendly face when you’ re out and about, you might as well try to initiate small talks.
