外刊精选｜开春究竟是哪一天？心态对了，随时开始
刚刚过去的周末，你去踏春赏花了吗？你是否也在焦急地等待冬天快快结束，盼望着天气变暖，策划一场全家人的春游？今天这篇来自《纽约时报》的文章就讲述了作者如何通过短途旅行，去寻找春天的故事。那么，春天是如何悄然而至的？温暖明媚的春天，我们应该如何把握它？
In Search of Spring
By Melissa Kirsch
When does spring begin For some, it's the second Sunday in March. For others, it's when they first realize they've finished dinner and it's still light out. This year, impatient as ever for winter to end, I decided to skip my usual routine of fidgety calendar watching and see if I couldn't do something to hasten spring's arrival.
It's only a three-hour flight from La Guardia (rainy, cold) to West Palm Beach (sunny, slight breeze), and from there an hour's drive to Clover Park, the spring training home of the New York Mets.
Being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air, things do feel slower and easier. I love that baseball has long been considered America's national pastime. A pastime is something that makes the passing of time pleasant. Isn't that what we're longing for in the winter months Something that makes time not just tolerable but enjoyable
By the time I left Florida, it was pouring rain and even a little chilly. Having experienced 24 hours of spring's full pageant, my own little preseason, I feel slightly pacified. Perhaps I can be patient as spring establishes itself, and offer the season a little grace as it clicks into place.

拓展练习阅读理解
Why are some people more motivated to handle difficult things And is there a way to make doing difficult things easy To answer this question, we need to look at this: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is often considered a pleasure molecule (分子). But that’s not quite what it does. Dopamine is what makes us desire things. And it’s that desire that gives us the motivation to get up and do things.
In fact, your brain considers something more important than others mainly depending on how much dopamine it’s expecting to get. If an activity releases too little dopamine, you won’t have much motivation to do it. But if an activity releases a lot of dopamine, you’ll be motivated to repeat it, over and over. So which behavior releases dopamine Any activity where you expect there’s a possible reward releases it.
And in today’s digital society, we are flooding our brains with unnaturally high amounts of dopamine on a daily basis, even if we don’t know it. Some examples of high dopamine behavior include: visiting social media websites, playing video games, etc.
And you might think, “Oh so what It’s not like it’s harming me in any way.” But you’d be wrong. Our bodies have a biological system called homeostasis (体内动态平衡). Whenever an imbalance occurs, our body adapts to it. Basically your brain gets used to having high levels of dopamine and those levels become your new normal. Thus you develop a dopamine tolerance. This can be a huge problem because the things that don`t give you as much dopamine don’t interest you any longer. That’s why people tend to prefer playing video games or surfing the Internet, compared to studying or working on their business.
But it is possible to make doing difficult things feel easier. Separate yourself from the unnaturally high amounts of dopamine, or at least expose yourself to it far less frequently. Only then will normal, everyday, low dopamine activities become exciting again and you’ll be able to do them for longer. That’s why you might want to limit your phone and computer usage, along with other high dopamine-releasing behavior.
We are all dopamine addicts to a certain extent. And that’s a good thing because dopamine motivates us to achieve our goals and improve ourselves. But it’s up to you to decide where you’re going to get your dopamine. Are you going to get it from things that don’t benefit you Or are you going to get it from working on your long-term goals The choice is yours.
15.According to the passage, dopamine is what __________.
A.determines our mindset B.motivates us to act
C.enables us to tackle difficult tasks D.causes our emotions
16.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about
A.The adaptability of our brain.
B.The problem of dopamine tolerance.
C.The imbalance of the dopamine levels.
D.The biological system called homeostasis.
17.What does the author suggest to make doing difficult things feel easier
A.Reducing the usage of digital devices.
B.Making difficult things more exciting
C.Forcing our body to adapt to dopamine.
D.Exposing ourselves more to social media.
18.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Being addicted to dopamine benefits us.
B.Dopamine can be made use of to better ourselves.
C.Dopamine is to blame for our improper behaviour.
D.Working on long-term goals releases more dopamine.

寻找春天
春天是什么时候来的？对一些人来说，春天是从三月的第二个周日开始。对另一些人而言，则是在自己吃完晚饭，头一次发现外面天还很亮的时候。今年与以往一样，我迫不及待地盼望冬天快点结束。于是我决定跳过往年的习惯，不再焦躁地翻看日历，而是做些什么，看看我是不是真的不能加速春天的到来。
只用了三个小时，我从阴雨绵绵又寒气逼人的纽约拉瓜迪亚机场飞到了阳光明媚又有微风拂面的佛罗里达西棕榈滩，接着再驱车一小时，就到达了三叶草公园（Clover Park），那是纽约大都会棒球队（New York Mets）的春训主场。
在户外沐浴着阳光，呼吸着新鲜空气，感觉一切都变得缓慢而轻松起来。我特别喜欢的一点是，棒球运动一直以来都被全美国人视为重要的消遣活动。消遣就是一种能让时间流逝变得愉悦的事情。而这不正是我们在冬天所渴望的吗？去做一些不仅是去忍受时间，而是享受时光的事情？
在我离开佛州的时候，天空下起了瓢泼大雨，甚至还有些寒意。而我在经历了一场24小时的春日露天盛会，也是专属于自己的小小“季前赛”之后，我感觉内心稍微平静了一些。也许我可以耐心地等待春天翩然而至，带着一点从容静待一切豁然开朗。
