Walking into Lang Jiaziyu's workshop in Beijing, one can see lively dough figurines(面人) and certificates of honor neatly placed on the workbench. However, one can never expect that this third-generation inheritor of the national-level intangible heritage of dough figurine making is a young man born in 1995.
Lang developed a preference for the art at a young age, starting to learn the craft from his father when he was about four to five years old. Despite repeatedly practicing the same skills, the boy never felt bored. Instead, he gained quite a great deal of pleasure from the craft. Under the influence of his father, Lang developed a sense of responsibility to carry forward the craft when he was young.
Lang had previously considered dough figurines to be an old-fashioned craft, having also felt that the raw materials used for the craft limited his creativity, raising doubts as to why he had chosen making dough figurines as a career from the beginning. However, when Lang visited an art exhibition as a university student, he was impressed by how one artisan there had made bread into various shapes, and then dried them to generate cracks on their outer surfaces to present a unique aesthetic (美学的) form.
“Then, I came to realize that instead of complaining about the raw materials, I should pay more attention to improving my skills so that I could turn the ‘disadvantages’ of the dough into something that I could make full use of to make my works more expressive，” Lang said.
The young man has also turned to new media to promote the art of dough modeling. For Lang, making dough figurines is a process of self-expression, and it gives him great pleasure to just be himself. “This is what I'm good at and attracted to, and I'm delighted to see a trend towards the revitalization (振兴) of traditional Chinese culture nowadays.”

C
When we hurt someone, we may be unwilling to acknowledge our fault and make an apology because it makes us feel guilty, conflicts with our beliefs about being a good person，or means accepting that we're imperfect human beings. We may want to excuse our behavior and blame the other person, minimizing our role in hurting him or her.
Researchers carried out a study to find out how we can be better at apologizing.In the study，researchers asked 120 college students to recall a time when they'd hurt someone else and the conflict remained unresolved.Then，participants were randomly assigned to either a 15-minute guided mindfulness exercise focusing on their breath and having people think in the present moment or a guided mind-wandering exercise, where they were encouraged to let their minds wander.
Afterward, they were asked to report how much they felt like apologizing to the person versus not apologizing or offering excuses for their behavior.Then, they were asked to write a note to the person，without instructions to apologize or not. In analyzing the notes, the researchers found that participants who had practiced mindfulness were more likely to write statements like “I'm sorry ”or “I apologize” in their notes than those who had mind-wandered.
“One way in which we can foster apologies is by having people think in the present moment，” lead author Sana Rizvi says.“We can teach individuals to be mindful of their present states, and it can be done in about 15 minutes.”
Why might this be the case？Rizvi isn't sure, as there has been very little research on how being more mindful might affect us when we hurt others.Prior research has found that being more mindful helps victims of wrong doing to be more forgiving，and it seems to improve relationships generally.
Mindfulness makes us feel less defensive and，therefore, helps us consider the importance of the other person in the conflict more.It's encouraging that teaching simple mindfulness techniques (like focused breathing) could increase apologies，especially in places that are often filled with interpersonal conflicts, like workplaces or other occasions.It could help improve interpersonal interactions and repair relationships, helping people move more easily from a place of conflict to understanding and forgiveness.

Scrolling through social media can quickly convince you that everyone's life is more interesting than yours. During a particularly adventurous week on social media recently, I saw water skiing in Maui, hiking in Yosemite and swimming with wild pigs in Bermuda. I started searching flights to new places. Then I ordered pho, Vietnam's national dish, from the same Vietnamese place I eat every week and returned to the same old routine and I felt bad about not trying somewhere new.
Evolutionarily, human brains tend to find newfangled experiences more exciting and attention-grabbing than repeated experiences. They can't process all the thrills around us, so we evolve to pay attention to new, flashy and potentially dangerous things more intently than familiar things, which we've seen enough to know they're not dangerous. What's more, words like “repetition” and “repetitiveness” tend to be associated with more negative emotions.
However, recent research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests we should reconsider how we digest those feelings of monotony (单调). Some previous research has painted a negative picture of repeated experiences, saying that doing the same thing twice can feel less valuable. But Ed O'Brien, a professor of behavioral science, wondered whether people actually underestimate how positively they react to repeated experiences.
To test this theory, Mr.O'Brien and his team exposed all participants to the same stimulus (刺激) (various stimuli were tested, including museum visits, movies and video games). Next, after dividing them into two groups, the first group of participants were asked to imagine repeating the experience, while the second actually did repeat the experience. Counter to previous research, Mr.O'Brien found that across the board, repeated experiences were far more enjoyable than participants expected. In other words, you're far more likely to enjoy something the second time around than you think.
“Brand-new experiences are definitely great for enjoyment，” said Mr.O'Brien. “And our studies don't go against this idea. In many cases, the brand-new option is better. But what our studies emphasize is that repeated options might also have high hedonic (与快乐有关的) value and might also come with lower costs than a purely new option.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了很多人都喜欢冒险，追求新鲜感，但是研究却发现，重复能让我们更全面、深刻地认识事物，能给我们带来不一样的快乐。
√
32．What did the author think of her own life
A．It included many exciting things.
B．It depended heavily on social media.
C．It was highly adventurous.
D．It was boringly repetitive.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Then I ordered pho...I felt bad about not trying somewhere new.”可推知，作者觉得自己的生活单调乏味，毫无新意。
√
33．What is the meaning of the underlined word “newfangled” in paragraph 2
A．Fictional. B．Fascinating.
C．Novel. D．Significant.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“They can't process all the thrills around us...they're not dangerous.”可知，人类的大脑往往更关注不熟悉的东西及新奇的体验。由此可推知，画线词意为“新奇的”。
√
34．How do our brains usually respond to stimuli from familiar things
A．They may pay little attention to them.
B．They may process them first.
C．They may feel uncertain of them.
D.They may consider them as positive things.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Evolutionarily, human brains tend to find...more intently than familiar things”可推知，我们的大脑使我们不太注意熟悉的刺激物。
√
35．What did the second group of participants do during the experiment
A．They experienced the same stimuli twice.
B．They imagined their old experiences twice.
C.They repeated similar activities many times.
D．They predicted the first group's experiences.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Next, after dividing them into two groups...the second actually did repeat the experience.”可知，第二组参与者重复了先前的体验。

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I looked around the crowded waiting room at the hospital and sighed. Would the doctor be able to see my eight-year-old son next I couldn't stop shaking as the wound in his forehead was deep.
We were at the hospital because another child had thrown a rock at Luke during the break as he was running around the corner.
Luke received four stitches(缝线).I fought back the urge to cry. For the next two days, his eye was swollen shut and black and blue. I felt like I'd had a nervous breakdown. Every time I tried to sleep or tended to do some housework, horrible thoughts crept into my mind. What if he'd lost his eye What if he'd had brain damage His doctor assured me he was going to be fine, but the what-ifs kept coming. Fear had taken over, and then the fear turned to anger. I was angry with the child who'd thrown the rock. I just couldn't shake it. What was she thinking
Several days later, Luke's teacher called me to see how he was feeling, telling me Katie felt terrible and heartbroken over what had happened. I asked the teacher to make Katie understand she couldn't do that and remind her of the dangers of throwing rocks. The teacher agreed, which made me feel better.
I noticed that as Luke started to heal physically, I wasn't that angry. I thought about Katie and Luke. I wanted to stand up for my son and protect him, but I didn't want to mistreat Katie because I learned from the teacher Katie really was a nice kid and that she was just trying to remove the rock so no other children would trip on it.
One night, Luke's teacher stopped by and dropped off a get-well card that Katie had made. Luke and I read it several times, and I couldn't help but feel a little choked up. It was a sincere apology.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
I wanted this to be a teachable moment for Luke to learn about forgiveness._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
The next morning, Luke and I waited for Katie with the letter at the school gate._________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________
One possible version：
I wanted this to be a teachable moment for Luke to learn about forgiveness. I wanted to let go of my own anger, too. I asked Luke if he was ready to forgive Katie. After all, his opinion counted the most. He thought about it for a moment, smiled and said, “Yes.” He knew Katie hadn't done it on purpose. Children don't hold back anger as adults do sometimes. Their hearts are pure, so we wrote Katie a letter together, reading, “We know it was an unfortunate accident. We forgive you, and we hope you forgive yourself.”
The next morning, Luke and I waited for Katie with the letter at the school gate. Finally came Katie. When she spotted us, she paused and forced a smile. Luke went over, handing her the letter. No sooner had she unfolded it than a relieved and happy smile spread across her face, which made Luke feel much better. She ran to give me a big hug. We didn't have to say anything else; we all knew it was forgiveness that was the most important step in healing.

Walking into Lang Jiaziyu's workshop in Beijing, one can see lively dough figurines(面人) and certificates of honor neatly placed on the workbench. However, one can never expect that this third-generation inheritor of the national-level intangible heritage of dough figurine making is a young man born in 1995.
Lang developed a preference for the art at a young age, starting to learn the craft from his father when he was about four to five years old. Despite repeatedly practicing the same skills, the boy never felt bored. Instead, he gained quite a great deal of pleasure from the craft. Under the influence of his father, Lang developed a sense of responsibility to carry forward the craft when he was young.
Lang had previously considered dough figurines to be an old-fashioned craft, having also felt that the raw materials used for the craft limited his creativity, raising doubts as to why he had chosen making dough figurines as a career from the beginning. However, when Lang visited an art exhibition as a university student, he was impressed by how one artisan there had made bread into various shapes, and then dried them to generate cracks on their outer surfaces to present a unique aesthetic (美学的) form.
“Then, I came to realize that instead of complaining about the raw materials, I should pay more attention to improving my skills so that I could turn the ‘disadvantages’ of the dough into something that I could make full use of to make my works more expressive，” Lang said.
The young man has also turned to new media to promote the art of dough modeling. For Lang, making dough figurines is a process of self-expression, and it gives him great pleasure to just be himself. “This is what I'm good at and attracted to, and I'm delighted to see a trend towards the revitalization (振兴) of traditional Chinese culture nowadays.”

When we hurt someone, we may be unwilling to acknowledge our fault and make an apology because it makes us feel guilty, conflicts with our beliefs about being a good person，or means accepting that we're imperfect human beings. We may want to excuse our behavior and blame the other person, minimizing our role in hurting him or her.
Researchers carried out a study to find out how we can be better at apologizing.In the study，researchers asked 120 college students to recall a time when they'd hurt someone else and the conflict remained unresolved.Then，participants were randomly assigned to either a 15-minute guided mindfulness exercise focusing on their breath and having people think in the present moment or a guided mind-wandering exercise, where they were encouraged to let their minds wander.
Afterward, they were asked to report how much they felt like apologizing to the person versus not apologizing or offering excuses for their behavior.Then, they were asked to write a note to the person，without instructions to apologize or not. In analyzing the notes, the researchers found that participants who had practiced mindfulness were more likely to write statements like “I'm sorry ”or “I apologize” in their notes than those who had mind-wandered.
“One way in which we can foster apologies is by having people think in the present moment，” lead author Sana Rizvi says.“We can teach individuals to be mindful of their present states, and it can be done in about 15 minutes.”
Why might this be the case？Rizvi isn't sure, as there has been very little research on how being more mindful might affect us when we hurt others.Prior research has found that being more mindful helps victims of wrong doing to be more forgiving，and it seems to improve relationships generally.
Mindfulness makes us feel less defensive and，therefore, helps us consider the importance of the other person in the conflict more.It's encouraging that teaching simple mindfulness techniques (like focused breathing) could increase apologies，especially in places that are often filled with interpersonal conflicts, like workplaces or other occasions.It could help improve interpersonal interactions and repair relationships, helping people move more easily from a place of conflict to understanding and forgiveness.

Scrolling through social media can quickly convince you that everyone's life is more interesting than yours. During a particularly adventurous week on social media recently, I saw water skiing in Maui, hiking in Yosemite and swimming with wild pigs in Bermuda. I started searching flights to new places. Then I ordered pho, Vietnam's national dish, from the same Vietnamese place I eat every week and returned to the same old routine and I felt bad about not trying somewhere new.
Evolutionarily, human brains tend to find newfangled experiences more exciting and attention-grabbing than repeated experiences. They can't process all the thrills around us, so we evolve to pay attention to new, flashy and potentially dangerous things more intently than familiar things, which we've seen enough to know they're not dangerous. What's more, words like “repetition” and “repetitiveness” tend to be associated with more negative emotions.
However, recent research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests we should reconsider how we digest those feelings of monotony (单调). Some previous research has painted a negative picture of repeated experiences, saying that doing the same thing twice can feel less valuable. But Ed O'Brien, a professor of behavioral science, wondered whether people actually underestimate how positively they react to repeated experiences.
To test this theory, Mr.O'Brien and his team exposed all participants to the same stimulus (刺激) (various stimuli were tested, including museum visits, movies and video games). Next, after dividing them into two groups, the first group of participants were asked to imagine repeating the experience, while the second actually did repeat the experience. Counter to previous research, Mr.O'Brien found that across the board, repeated experiences were far more enjoyable than participants expected. In other words, you're far more likely to enjoy something the second time around than you think.
“Brand-new experiences are definitely great for enjoyment，” said Mr.O'Brien. “And our studies don't go against this idea. In many cases, the brand-new option is better. But what our studies emphasize is that repeated options might also have high hedonic (与快乐有关的) value and might also come with lower costs than a purely new option.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了很多人都喜欢冒险，追求新鲜感，但是研究却发现，重复能让我们更全面、深刻地认识事物，能给我们带来不一样的快乐。

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I looked around the crowded waiting room at the hospital and sighed. Would the doctor be able to see my eight-year-old son next I couldn't stop shaking as the wound in his forehead was deep.
We were at the hospital because another child had thrown a rock at Luke during the break as he was running around the corner.
Luke received four stitches(缝线).I fought back the urge to cry. For the next two days, his eye was swollen shut and black and blue. I felt like I'd had a nervous breakdown. Every time I tried to sleep or tended to do some housework, horrible thoughts crept into my mind. What if he'd lost his eye What if he'd had brain damage His doctor assured me he was going to be fine, but the what-ifs kept coming. Fear had taken over, and then the fear turned to anger. I was angry with the child who'd thrown the rock. I just couldn't shake it. What was she thinking
Several days later, Luke's teacher called me to see how he was feeling, telling me Katie felt terrible and heartbroken over what had happened. I asked the teacher to make Katie understand she couldn't do that and remind her of the dangers of throwing rocks. The teacher agreed, which made me feel better.
I noticed that as Luke started to heal physically, I wasn't that angry. I thought about Katie and Luke. I wanted to stand up for my son and protect him, but I didn't want to mistreat Katie because I learned from the teacher Katie really was a nice kid and that she was just trying to remove the rock so no other children would trip on it.
One night, Luke's teacher stopped by and dropped off a get-well card that Katie had made. Luke and I read it several times, and I couldn't help but feel a little choked up. It was a sincere apology.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
I wanted this to be a teachable moment for Luke to learn about forgiveness._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
The next morning, Luke and I waited for Katie with the letter at the school gate._________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
One possible version：
I wanted this to be a teachable moment for Luke to learn about forgiveness. I wanted to let go of my own anger, too. I asked Luke if he was ready to forgive Katie. After all, his opinion counted the most. He thought about it for a moment, smiled and said, “Yes.” He knew Katie hadn't done it on purpose. Children don't hold back anger as adults do sometimes. Their hearts are pure, so we wrote Katie a letter together, reading, “We know it was an unfortunate accident. We forgive you, and we hope you forgive yourself.”
The next morning, Luke and I waited for Katie with the letter at the school gate. Finally came Katie. When she spotted us, she paused and forced a smile. Luke went over, handing her the letter. No sooner had she unfolded it than a relieved and happy smile spread across her face, which made Luke feel much better. She ran to give me a big hug. We didn't have to say anything else; we all knew it was forgiveness that was the most important step in healing.
