B In Gaithersburg,Maryland this fall, artcurator (馆长) Sandra Davis set14chairs ondisplayin the Arts Barn’s professional art gallery. Each chair, handmade by a different artist, symbolized a mental healthissuethattheartisthadpersonallyconfronted. Courtney Mohring’s chair, “Buttoned Up,” was a black, high-backed chair coated in buttons and bunched fabric that communicated discomfort. And Davis herself had a piece in the exhibition — a rainbow-coloredcreationtitled“ColorMeManic.”Formanyoftheartists,itwasanopportunitytotrya mediumthattheyhadneverattemptedbefore. Theexhibition—titled“PullUpaChair 2.0”—wasakindof“sequel”toasimilar showcasethat Davis curated in 2022, which also featured handmade chairs.At the gallery, the artists came in to talk about their art, but the night soon transformed into a deeper conversation about the feelings of anxiety, 高三2月英语试卷 第 4 页 共 12 页loss, and isolation that Davis and her fellow artists had experienced at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Wehadwhatwecallan‘artistroundtable,’whereeachoftheartists came totalkaboutwhattheir inspiration was, what they were feeling when they were creating the chair,and it ended up feeling very muchlikeagrouptherapy(治疗)session,”Davissaid. This year, Davis wanted to reproduce that experience on a grander scale, by opening it up to the public and inviting guests to pull up a chair and talk about the art — and how it relates to their own mentalhealthjourneys. “We know the mental health conversation is top of mind,” Davis said. “We hear it in the news. We’re reading about it. We’re talking about it at school. But we haven’t really necessarily felt like it’s still a welcoming conversation.” But Davis believes we can slowly change those conversations for the better—anditstartswithmakingspaceforthem. 24.

This peaceful scene is an increasingly rare one in the modern world. Our 高三2月英语试卷 第 5 页 共 12 页naturalsoundscapesarefallingsilentasbirdpopulationsdecline. But does the silencing ofour soundscapesmatter to us? The shortanswer is yes. There is growing evidence aboutthe health benefits of spending time in nature, including reducing risks of heartdisease, diabetesandanxiety. Yetwhilethegeneralbenefitsofbeingoutsideinnaturemayseeminstinctive,the contributionsofnaturalsoundstothisarelessunderstood. Our study explores the link between birdsong and people,specifically on English vineyards (葡萄 园). We surveyed the experience of 186 wine-tour participants across three vineyards with varying soundscapes. We also enhanced some vineyard soundscapes with hidden speakers, which played the songs of five additional bird species. This was designed to see how participants’ engagement with naturewouldbeaffectedbyincreasingthediversityofbirdsandsongs. The results were fascinating. Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds — whether on vineyards with naturally richer soundscapes or on those we had enhanced — reported that theyhadenjoyedthesoundsmore.Theyalsofeltmoreconnectedtonatureandmoresatisfiedwiththeir tour. With richer soundscapes, they felt more mindful and positive during the tours, reporting that they feltfreerfromwork,routineandresponsibility. Our studyis aclear demonstration of thedirecteffectthatbirdsonghasonourwellbeing. Itshows thatbird conservationcouldenhanceourexperienceofspendingtime innatureandgive risetopositive emotions. The world we experience today is unlike what our grandparents experienced. We are increasingly disconnected from nature, and nature’s benefits on our wellbeing are lessening as a result. Whatismostconcerningisthatthesechangesareacceptedasthenewnorm. We hope our findings lead to more people thinking like Harrison, who concluded: It goes to show how important nature is for humanity on so many levels and hopefully a study like this supports more investmentandhelpconservingaswellasimprovingournaturalsoundscapes. 28.Whatphenomenondoestheauthordescribeinparagraph1?

D The next time you’re feeling depressed or angry at the world, ask yourself if you’ve really been dealt a poor hand — or if, just maybe, you were expecting too much. That’s one message that can be drawn from a recent study on entitlement, a personality trait characterized by exaggerated feelings of deservingness and superiority. Entitlement may lead to constant disappointment, say researchers from CaseWesternReserveUniversity. Theauthorsreachedtheseconclusionsafteranalyzingmorethan170academicpapers.Theyfound that people who possess high levels of entitlement consistently fall victim to a three-part cycle: First, they don’t always get everything they think they deserve, leaving them constantly vulnerable to unmet expectations. Those unmet expectations are then perceived as injustices, leading to emotions like anger and sadness. Finally, to justify those emotions, entitled people reassure themselves of their own specialness.Thishelpsthemfeelbettertemporarily,butultimatelystartstheprocessalloveragain. Atextremelevels,entitledpeoplerepeatedlyexposethemselvestotheriskoffeelingfrustratedand disappointed with life. They also tend to suffer from poor relationships, interpersonal conflicts, and 高三2月英语试卷 第 7 页 共 12 页depression, says co-author Julie Exline, PhD, a professor of psychological sciences at Case Western Reserve. “So much of entitlement is about competition — being better or more deserving than other people,”shetoldHealth.com.“Itreallysetsinoppositiontosociety,anditcanbeveryisolating.” “It’s not easy for true narcissists (自恋者) to see themselves for what they are, or to change their way of thinking.” Exline says. But she does believe that, for many well-intentioned people, feelings of entitlementcanbecontrolled.“Conditioningyourselftothinkaboutotherpeopleandwhattheydeserve —andalsobeingwillingtoadmityourownfaultsandweaknesses—canhelpyoufeelmoreconnected toothers,”shesays. We should be also aware that not all feelings of entitlement are wrong or bad: We shouldn’t just lower our standards or stop expecting things we truly do deserve, just so we can be happier.

During recess (课间休息), as Jared was walking to the swings, he noticed Jessica standing by the big oak tree, her hands on her hips, looking upset. She was staring at something in the tree. Jared approachedcautiously,wonderingwhatwasgoingon. “What’s wrong, Jessica?” he asked, trying to sound as uninterested as possible. Jessica looked up, her facefilled with panic.“The kittens!They’re stuck in thetree!” Jared frowned,looking upatthe tall oak. Sure enough, settled on one of the highest branches, were two tiny kittens, mewing helplessly.
