Parallel Lifestyle's Purple Soak Day is an annual national act of mass participation on December 3 to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities(IDPD).
“All you need to do is buy and wear a pair of soft, sustainable bamboo socks designed and produced by our friend BAM, and you will help to raise positive awareness for disability,” said Parallel's Andrew Douglass.
“In doing this, you show support for/ the disabled community, while helping budding (崭露头角的) disabled entrepreneurs (创业者) start their businesses from the profits generated from the sale of each pair of socks. It's a fun initiative with a serious message that you can support and inspire friends, family and work colleagues to pull on a pair of Parallel's purple socks.”
Parallel has partnered with the British Association for Supported Employment(BASE), to which it will donate 40% of the profits from Purple Sock Day to help fund support for disabled entrepreneurs. The remaining profits will be used to support other entrepreneurship businesses and reinvested into growing Purple Sock Day and Parallel, a national celebration of disability inclusion and well-being.
“BASE is an incredible organization. It is our national voice for providers of specialist employment support and shares our passion to improve the employment rates of disabled people across the UK,” said Andrew.

I was driving to my office for a meeting with an important new client. Bo Chen, a Chinese culture expert for the training, arrived early. His input was crucial for the day’s success. Confident and knowledgeable, Chen was perfect for the job. I asked him to prepare business examples, and he enthusiastically agreed.
My client arrived. Taking a deep breath, I began the session. As the morning wore on, I explained each dimension of the key issues, answered the questions, and carefully kept an eye on Chen so I could help facilitate his input.
But Chen didn’t seem to have any input. After finishing the first dimension, I paused briefly and looked to him for his input, but he didn’t speak up. He didn’t open his mouth, move his body forward, or raise his hand. Apparently he had no example to provide.
Not wanting to embarrass Chen or to create an awkward situation by calling on him when he was not ready, I simply continued with my next point. To my growing dismay (丧气), Chen remained silent. He nodded politely while I was speaking, but that was all; he used no other body language to indicate any reactions, positive or negative.
I gave every example I could think of and continued for three full hours. My initial disappointment with Chen was spilling over into panic. I needed his input for the program to succeed. Finally, I decided to take a chance. “Bo,” I asked, “did you have any examples you would like to share ”
Chen sat up straight in his chair, smiled confidently at the clients, and opened up his notebook, which was filled with pages of typed notes. “Thank you, Erin,” he replied. “I do.” And then, to my utter relief, Chen began to explain clear and fascinating examples one after another.
The truth is that the story of Silent Bo is a story of culture, not personality. But it is not as simple as you might think.
4. What can be inferred about the author and Bo Chen from the first two paragraphs
A They had never worked together before.
B. The author was dissatisfied with Bo Chen’s ability.
C. Bo Chen was unwilling to cooperate in this training.
D. The author trusted Bo Chen’s abilities and contribution.
5. Why did the author avoid directly asking Chen for his input
A. To focus on her own presentation. B. To respect his personal preferences.
C. To test his professional competence. D. To avoid causing him embarrassment.
6. What made the author feel panic
A. Their busy schedule. B. Chen’s initial silence.
C. The client’s dissatisfaction. D. Her insufficient preparation.
7. What does the author imply about the “Silent Bo” incident
A. It was due to a language barrier. B. It was rooted in cultural differences.
C. It was a consequence of Chen’s personality. D. It was the result of the author’s overconfidence.
C
Do you see your unconscious (无意识) as a sort of black box full of fears and desires working to weaken you A century after Freud first advanced such ideas, modern psychology tells a different story. Far from being a harmful force, the unconscious handles essential tasks — and often runs the show.
“The vast majority of thoughts circling in our brains happen below the radar of conscious awareness:” says neuroscientist Michael Shadlen at Columbia University. While we assume it demands conscious effort, much occurs unconsciously. That is why studies reveal that breaks and sleep enhance memory consolidation(巩固). Pausing after studying — while avoiding related thoughts — helps the brain solidify new information. Sleep supercharges this process, but timing matters. Christoph Nissen, then at the University of Bern, found teenagers remember facts better when learning mid-afternoon but master motor skills faster with evening practice. Adults over 60, however, often learn best in the morning.
The powers of your unconscious mind may stretch to boasting your creativity, too. Everyone is familiar with “aha” moments, when the solution to a problem suddenly pops into conscious awareness as if from nowhere. In 2017, Shadlen and colleagues linked “aha” moments to unconscious information thresholds that vary by task. However, some people seem better at achieving it than others. What's their secret Studies suggest variously that creative insight is driven by one of two very different states of mind: concentrated focus and daydreaming. Stimulated by the contradiction here, Jonathan Schooler at UC Santa Barbara found that daydreaming — not constant focus — cultivates creativity. His advice Avoid common thoughts and engage with playful questions.
Emotions play a role too. Positive music, like Vivaldi's Spring, may promote creativity by releasing dopamine (多巴胺). Meanwhile, mixed emotions — frustration paired with excitement — signal novelty, preparing the brain for unconventional connections.
Freud's unconscious was a dark puzzle, but today's science reveals it as a partner. By embracing rest, mental wandering, and emotional curiosity, we tap (发掘) its hidden power to learn, create, and become better.
8. What is modern psychology's view on the unconscious
A. It dominates mental processes. B. It is a dangerous force with fears.
C. It requires strict conscious control. D. It only influences daily behaviours.
9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The importance of sleep for memory strengthening.
B. The various factors which influence learning outcomes.
C. The role of uneonscious processes in effective learning.
D. Reasons why teenagers should master motor skill training.
10. What do we learn about “aha” moments
A. They are related to the unconscious mind. B. They cause intense focus and daydreaming.
C. They depend entirely on the external factors. D. They are mainly caused by positive emotions.
11. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text
A. The Conscious Mind: Master of Human Behavior
B. Freud's Theory: The Dark Side of the Unconscious
C. Beyond Freud: The Unconscious as an Ideal Partner
D. Memory and Decision-Making: A Psychological Study
D
As a physicist, I love particles (粒子) — each plays a role in disclosing nature’s laws. But neutrinos (中微子), these slippery troublemakers, are uniquely troubling for dark matter researchers.
Neutrinos were born from crisis. In the 1930s, physicists faced a dilemma: radioactive breakdowns seemed to break energy conservation. Unwillingly, they proposed an invisible, uncharged particle to balance the math. Wolfgang Pauli joked, “I have proposed a particle that cannot be detected.” Fortunately, Pauli was ultimately wrong about his pretention. Neutrinos are so unwilling to interact with other matter that they routinely pass through our planet without us even noticing.
Even now, we don’t really seize neutrinos. The standard detection method is to build a very large tank of water deep underground and then wait for one of them that pass through Earth every day; randomly and rarely. If one does, it can send a charged particle screaming through the water so fast that it creates a flash of light, which can help us infer something about the sea of tiny invisible particles.
The reason why neutrinos are a particular troublemaker for dark matter detectors is that the dark matter particles we're looking for have a lot in common with neutrinos, like WIMPs (弱相互作用大质量粒子) — no charge, weak interactions. Detectors built deep underground await rare hits between WIMPs and atoms (原子). Yet as detectors grow more sensitive, they’re picking up solar neutrinos instead. Nothing can block neutrinos. While neutrinos currently hide only high-energy signals, some estimate they’ll drown out WIMP data within decades. Yet some physicists are still optimistic. After all, dark matter might be made of something else entirely.
But we’re definitely getting to a point where, if dark matter really is made of WIMPs, we’ll have to be a little more creative with our experiments. Because for those of us trying to look into the dark side of the universe, a bright future for neutrinos could end up being blinding for us.
12. What is Wolfgang Pauli’s attitude toward detecting neutrinos
A. Excited about its role. B. Confident about its success.
C. Doubtful about its possibility. D. Concerned about its moral risks.
13. What does the underlined phrase “screaming through the water” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Moving extremely quickly. B. Disappearing rapidly in water.
C. Shining brightly under pressure. D. Helping is understand sound waves.
14. What can we know about WIMPs
A. They are charged particles. B. They can easily be caught by detectors.
C. They have no interactions with other particles.
D. They are possible candidates for the dark matter particles.
15. What is the primary purpose of the final paragraph
A. To advocate abandoning WIMP research. B. To criticize current experimental methods.
C. To compare neutrinos with other particles. D. To stress the need for creative experiments.

In order to communicate effectively no matter what the distance is, Dhawan, an award-winning author, argued that we need to build a critical skill called digital body language. ___16___
1. Brevity (简洁) creates confusion.
Being brief doesn't always mean you're being clear. For example, if your boss sends you an email that says: “we should talk”, you could interpret that in multiple ways. ___17___ And if someone sends multiple question marks instead of asking an actual question, then you're really in the dark.
2. ___18___
In all of our messages we have to make certain we are clear about our intentions and our expectations: What is the task What is the priority level Why do you need this information Dhawan described some of her clients' highly efficient email acronyms (首字母缩略词). For example, 2H means “I need this in two hours.” and NNTR means “no need to respond”.
3. Hold your horses.
When we just reward the first person who responds or the three people who agree, we may miss out on the fourth person who disagrees. ___19___ Send a plan or questions in advance. Let everyone speak in a meeting. By doing so, we make sure we hear everyone's ideas, not just the fast talkers.
4. Expect the best from others.
In digital communication, it is easy to misread, misunderstand, and assume the worst. ___20___ Before you answer, make sure you understand what they mean. Trust people until they prove you wrong. If you're not sure, call them to talk it through.
A. Find your voice.
B. Communicate your mind.
C. It means understanding different cultural backgrounds.
D. In her keynote speech, she presented several key principles.
E. So, let's go slow rather than rushing into a decision or response.
F. To keep communication clear online, always think the best of others.
G One-word responses like “fine” “sure” “OK” can leave you confused.

Sophia had always hated paintings. Maybe it was the way they just sat there, frozen in time, pretending to hold meaning. To her, paintings were dishonest. People acted as if they were windows into the artist's soul, but to her, they were just meaningless colours. What did a winding mess of blues and oranges really say A painting didn't breathe. It didn't feel. It was just there.
So when her best friend dragged her to the grand opening of the town's new art gallery, she refused but failed. “This is suffering,” Sophia said, arms crossed as she followed behind her friend. The walls were lined with enormous paintings—some abstract, some detailed, all equally dull in her eyes. Her friend, of course, was fully attracted. That was when Sophia noticed the old woman. She was standing upright before a large painting, her fingers resting lightly on the frame. Next to her was a younger man who was describing the artwork in an attentive voice.
“This one,” he was saying, “is a winter scene. A frozen river, two children playing near the bank. The brushwork is delicate...”
The old woman nodded, a gentle smile on her lips as she listened, But then, suddenly, the man's phone rang. “I have to take this, Eleanor. I'll be back soon.” For a moment, the woman stood still, as if waiting for him to return. But in the shifting (不断移动的) crowd, she took a smarm . in certain step forward—and ran straight into Sophia,
“OK, I'm so sorry, dear,” the woman said, steadying herself. “Uh, no, it's fine,” She hesitates “Are you blind ” The old woman smiled. “Yes, dear. Since I was twenty.” Sophia felt confused. “Then why are you here ” The woman laughed. “Because unitmting aren't just for the eyes. They hold stories and emotions. I come to feel them, even if I can't see them.” She tilted (使倾斜) her head slightly, then added, “Would you mind helping me Just until my friend returns ”

【读后续写参考范文】
Paragraph 1: Sophia hesitated, but something about the woman made it difficult to refuse. She took the old woman’s arm gently and led her to the nearest painting. “This one has a lot of bright red and yellow,” Sophia began, her voice a bit uncertain at first. “The brushstrokes seem wild, like the artist was excited.” As she described each painting, she noticed the old woman’s face light up. Eleanor reached out, her fingers brushing over the canvas, as if reading a book. Sophia found herself looking at the paintings differently. She realized that the colors weren’t just random; they held the artist’s feelings. By the time Eleanor’s friend returned, Sophia was completely absorbed in the world of paintings she once hated.
Paragraph 2: The old woman smiled, “If you could paint one thing that shows your heart, what would it be ” Sophia paused, thinking deeply. Images of her family, her friends, and the moments that made her laugh or cry flashed through her mind. “I think… I’d paint a sunset at the beach,” she said softly. “The warm oranges and pinks mixing with the cool blues of the ocean, and my friends laughing and running in the sand.” For the first time, she understood that paintings were a way to capture emotions, to share a piece of one’s soul. From that day on, Sophia’s view of paintings changed forever. She no longer saw them as silent, meaningless objects but as windows to the heart.

Pausing after studying — while avoiding related thoughts — helps the brain solidify new information. Sleep supercharges this process, but timing matters. Christoph Nissen, then at the University of Bern, found teenagers remember facts better when learning mid-afternoon but master motor skills faster with evening practice. Adults over 60, however, often learn best in the morning.(这就是为什么研究表明休息和睡眠能增强记忆巩固。学习后暂停——同时避免相关的想法——有助于大脑巩固新信息。睡眠会增强这个过程，但时间很重要。当时在伯尔尼大学的克里斯托夫 尼森发现，青少年在下午学习时对事实的记忆更好，但在晚上练习时掌握运动技能更快。然而，60 岁以上的成年人通常在早上学习效果最好），通过这些例子进一步阐述了无意识过程（如休息、睡眠等）对学习（记忆巩固、技能掌握等）的作用，以及不同年龄段无意识学习的最佳时间不同。所以，该段主要讲的是无意识过程在有效学习中的作用。故选C。
