（2023上·重庆·高三重庆八中校考阶段练习）How to Remember the Future
One of the trickiest recall tasks is called prospective memory: remembering what you want or need to do, in time to do it. 26 A thought occurs, we resolve to act on it “soon” and then, when the time comes, the idea’s gone.
Diaries and alarms help, but your imagination plays a vital role in holding onto brief thoughts and keeping you in control of your future plans. For example, don’t just have an idea about going to the bank. 27 Perhaps you’re leaving the bank loaded with shiny gold bars.
But that’s only the beginning. This process allows you to do much more than just reminding yourself to do things. 28 Then, create a vivid “memory” of how you’d like it to go, and crucially, how you’d like to feel. Creating “memories” like this gives you time to think about practical arrangements and spot any problems before they arise. A part of your brain will still be processing the details even when you’re thinking about other things.
Here are some tips:
●Experiment to see if you prefer viewing this “mental movie” through your own eyes, or by watching yourself from someone else’s point of view.
● 29 Fast forward any parts you find easy, and go in slow motion for the bits that need extra work.
●Use your full range of senses. 30
A．Control the time frame.
B．Minimize all the feelings.
C．You can use it to do them better so try it now.
D．Engaging them all will create a rich, multi-dimensional memory.
E．Paint a mental picture of yourself there and actively make it memorable.
F．Pick an important event around the corner: a driving test or a public speech.
G．The reason it often fails is that we have an idea in mind but don’t make it into a memory.
（2023上·陕西渭南·高二校考开学考试）After ten years of teaching at a primary school, and always dreaming about my next travel adventure, I decided to follow my heart and combine it with a career (事业). 31
I have loved travel for as long as I could remember. My parents started travelling with me at a very young age. Our summer holidays, and a lot of our weekends, were spent travelling in our car. We made not only a lot of local trips but also some long journeys. 32 Therefore, Social Studies was always my favorite subject in school.
I was badly bitten by the travel bug in eleventh grade, when I took my first foreign trip to Paris. It was the first time I had ever been on a plane! And then I fell in love. Not a temporary preference for a new movie or a new dress. 33 The kind of love makes me truly happy.
Was I in love with Paris Oh yes! But more so. 34 I could not get enough of it. I wanted to see as much as I could, learn as much as I could, and make the most of every minute. Travelling by bus, I even enjoyed simple scenes as they were flying past my window.
35 I’ve tried independent trips, group tours and package holidays. While there are advantages and disadvantages to each type of travel, I have discovered my travel preferences. I tend to prefer travelling independently to places that have a mix of beautiful scenery and historic heritage. Travelling makes me happy, and I find it to be extremely satisfying on a deeper level.
A．And I became a travel writer.
B．That was why I came to love travel.
C．This was true love that lasts forever.
D．I tried to take one big trip and a few small ones every year.
E．I was actually in love with this entire experience of travelling.
F．I loved seeing new places and learning about the history and culture.
G．Since that first trip, I’ve travelled to many places in many different ways.
（2023上·江苏南京·高三校联考期中）The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal. 36 It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life. Let’s consider a real world example.
A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills). 37
These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them. Years later, that foundation of athletic movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may turn into a job offer as a business manager. The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended. 38 Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life.
39 Why Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path). All of this research boils down to the fact that positive thinking is so useful for developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of life.
But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life 40 You probably know what things work well for you. Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it’s spending time with a certain person.
A．Negative emotions do the opposite.
B．However, the skills themselves live on.
C．But many of us look at things negatively.
D．The biggest benefit is an improved ability.
E．That is why the “broaden and build” theory is valuable.
F．In this way, positive emotions help to build valuable skills.
G．Anything arousing feelings of joy, contentment, and love will do the trick.
（2024·江西景德镇·统考一模）If you want to be confident at interview and get the job, body language will be important.
Here are some useful tips for your body language during a job interview.
Make a great entrance. A job interview actually starts before you get to the interview room. You don't know who could be looking at you from a window or standing next to you in the elevator. Your body language should tell others that you're confident and calm. 41 .
Don’t go for direct eye contact. 42 . A more effective way to make sure you look interested is to look at different parts of an interviewer's face every two seconds such as their nose, eyes and lips.
Use hand gestures while you're speaking. If you’re not sure what to do with your hands, go ahead and gesture while you're speaking. When you're really nervous, you may want to hide your hand because they express your anxiety. 43
Stay positive. Your body language follows your mind. If your mind is negative, your body will consciously create negative energy. However, stay positive and you feel confident in your body language. 44 . And your smiles will be more likely to leave a good impression on the interviewers.
Work on your walk. Interviewers often make a hiring judgment within the first 10 seconds of meeting you. 45 . When walking directly toward the interviewer, you had better make your body point in his direction and maintain eye contact with him occasionally.
A．Instead, make “direct face contact”.
B．How you walk into the room is a part of that judgment.
C．At this time, it's a good choice for you to hide your hands.
D．Instead, using your hands gesture can make you feel relaxed.
E．If your have a positive mind, you will wear a smile on your face.
F．It's very important to review your information you have prepared.
G．It's improper to crazily search your file for your resume at this time.

（2023上·重庆·高三重庆八中校考阶段练习）How to Remember the Future
One of the trickiest recall tasks is called prospective memory: remembering what you want or need to do, in time to do it. 26 A thought occurs, we resolve to act on it “soon” and then, when the time comes, the idea’s gone.
Diaries and alarms help, but your imagination plays a vital role in holding onto brief thoughts and keeping you in control of your future plans. For example, don’t just have an idea about going to the bank. 27 Perhaps you’re leaving the bank loaded with shiny gold bars.
But that’s only the beginning. This process allows you to do much more than just reminding yourself to do things. 28 Then, create a vivid “memory” of how you’d like it to go, and crucially, how you’d like to feel. Creating “memories” like this gives you time to think about practical arrangements and spot any problems before they arise. A part of your brain will still be processing the details even when you’re thinking about other things.
Here are some tips:
●Experiment to see if you prefer viewing this “mental movie” through your own eyes, or by watching yourself from someone else’s point of view.
● 29 Fast forward any parts you find easy, and go in slow motion for the bits that need extra work.
●Use your full range of senses. 30
A．Control the time frame.
B．Minimize all the feelings.
C．You can use it to do them better so try it now.
D．Engaging them all will create a rich, multi-dimensional memory.
E．Paint a mental picture of yourself there and actively make it memorable.
F．Pick an important event around the corner: a driving test or a public speech.
G．The reason it often fails is that we have an idea in mind but don’t make it into a memory.
（2023上·陕西渭南·高二校考开学考试）After ten years of teaching at a primary school, and always dreaming about my next travel adventure, I decided to follow my heart and combine it with a career (事业). 31
I have loved travel for as long as I could remember. My parents started travelling with me at a very young age. Our summer holidays, and a lot of our weekends, were spent travelling in our car. We made not only a lot of local trips but also some long journeys. 32 Therefore, Social Studies was always my favorite subject in school.
I was badly bitten by the travel bug in eleventh grade, when I took my first foreign trip to Paris. It was the first time I had ever been on a plane! And then I fell in love. Not a temporary preference for a new movie or a new dress. 33 The kind of love makes me truly happy.
Was I in love with Paris Oh yes! But more so. 34 I could not get enough of it. I wanted to see as much as I could, learn as much as I could, and make the most of every minute. Travelling by bus, I even enjoyed simple scenes as they were flying past my window.
35 I’ve tried independent trips, group tours and package holidays. While there are advantages and disadvantages to each type of travel, I have discovered my travel preferences. I tend to prefer travelling independently to places that have a mix of beautiful scenery and historic heritage. Travelling makes me happy, and I find it to be extremely satisfying on a deeper level.
A．And I became a travel writer.

C．This was true love that lasts forever.

（2023上·江苏南京·高三校联考期中）The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal. 36 It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life. Let’s consider a real world example.
A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills). 37
These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them. Years later, that foundation of athletic movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may turn into a job offer as a business manager. The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended. 38 Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life.
39 Why Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path). All of this research boils down to the fact that positive thinking is so useful for developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of life.
But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life 40 You probably know what things work well for you. Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it’s spending time with a certain person.
A．Negative emotions do the opposite.
B．However, the skills themselves live on.
C．But many of us look at things negatively.
D．The biggest benefit is an improved ability.
E．That is why the “broaden and build” theory is valuable.
F．In this way, positive emotions help to build valuable skills.
G．Anything arousing feelings of joy, contentment, and love will do the trick.

Don’t go for direct eye contact. 42 . A more effective way to make sure you look interested is to look at different parts of an interviewer's face every two seconds such as their nose, eyes and lips.
Use hand gestures while you're speaking. If you’re not sure what to do with your hands, go ahead and gesture while you're speaking. When you're really nervous, you may want to hide your hand because they express your anxiety. 43
Stay positive. Your body language follows your mind. If your mind is negative, your body will consciously create negative energy. However, stay positive and you feel confident in your body language. 44 . And your smiles will be more likely to leave a good impression on the interviewers.
Work on your walk. Interviewers often make a hiring judgment within the first 10 seconds of meeting you. 45 . When walking directly toward the interviewer, you had better make your body point in his direction and maintain eye contact with him occasionally.
A．Instead, make “direct face contact”.
B．How you walk into the room is a part of that judgment.
C．At this time, it's a good choice for you to hide your hands.
D．Instead, using your hands gesture can make you feel relaxed.
E．If your have a positive mind, you will wear a smile on your face.
F．It's very important to review your information you have prepared.
G．It's improper to crazily search your file for your resume at this time.
