Smartphones enable our desire for ease and convenience. But sometimes- whether it s
running a marathon, climbing a mountain, or assembling furniture—we willingly choose
difficulty over ease. Michael Inzlicht， a psychologist at the University of Toronto, calls
this the effort paradox. While we often avoid hard work，other times we value it,
viewing things as more rewarding if we have to work for them.
This phenomenon extends beyond extreme pursuits like mountain climbing or
marathon . running. Many individuals seek out challenging activities such as puzzles or
crosswords because the effort itself is enjoyable. This appreciation of effort is deep-rooted
in our brains, as dopamine(多巴胺) encourages us to value tasks that demand perseverance
and dedication. “Sometimes effort is the only way that you can test yourself," says
Inzlicht. .
In a study by a psychiatrist at Stanford University School of Medicine， mice
learned to poke
(捅,推) their noses into a hole to obtain juice. When the number of pokes it took to
receive juice was raised, or mild electric shocks were given， more dopamine was
released in the striatum, a brain region important for motivation and experiencing reward.
It also found that people rewarded
for choosing a more difficult task opt(选择) for the difficult version the next time, even if
学科网（北京）股份有限公司it no longer comes with a reward. This appreciation of hard work transfers to unrelated
tasks. From school and sports to work and parenting.
Still, putting down our phones and seeking exertion may be difficult at first. Anna
Lembke, a
psychiatrist at Stanford University School of Medicine, suggests building it into our
schedule and doing it with friends or for a greater good, like running a race for charity
or biking to save gas.
“Sometimes the same effort can become boring and frustrating， so keep it fresh:
find a new
park to walk through or save a favorite show or podcast for the gym. We can strive(力
争) for a healthier balance between seeking pleasure and embracing challenges," Lembke
says.“We arc born to strive, but it's up to us to channel that drive in a sustainable and
fulfilling way.
32. Which belongs to the phenomenon of the effort paradox?
A. Staying in an unsatisfying yet relatively stable job.
B. Throwing ourselves on the sofa after a tiring workday.
C. Eating high-calorie food even though we are overweight.
D. Hiking mountains even though we can take the cable car.
33.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. The mice are fast learners. B. Effort is costly but valued.
C. Hard work always pays off. D. We feel safe in the comfort zone.
34. What does the underlined word“exertion”mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Convenience. B. Pleasure. C. Effort. D. Assistance.
35. What does Lembke suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Avoiding ease and convenience at all costs.
B. Keeping a balance between your life and work.
C. Never giving up and persevering in face of difficulties.
D. Finding something stimulating to finish effortful matters.

Sammy was a happy little boy who loved 10 play outside and explore the woods behind his
house. He spent most of his time with his family，especially with his older sister Abby. They
would run around in the fields together, climb trees， and catch insects.
One day, Sammy's parents sat him down for an important talk. They told him that they were .
moving to the big city so that they could be closer to their jobs. Al first, Sammy didn’t understand
what that meant or how it would change things for him. But soon enough, he realized that
everything was going lo be different. He wouldn't have as much space to run around in like he did
in their small town. And worst of all- -he'd have to start a new school!
Sammy had never been very good at making friends quickly- -it always took some time
before people warmed up to him and vice versa( 反之亦然). So when he thought about starting
over again somewhere new, it made him feel pretty anxious.
He tried talking to Abby about it but she seemed excited about the move- she jumped at the
idea of exploring new places and meeting new people! But Sammy couldn't shake off this feeling:
what if nobody liked him? what if everyone else already had friends?
As they packed up their belongings into boxes ready for their journey ahead. Sammy felt sad
saying goodbye to everything familiar: the old oak tree by the riverbank which he used to sit on
during summer afternoons; the bakery shop owner who always gave them free cookies on
Saturdays. It was hard to let go of all those memories they shared together.
Sammy' s family finally lived in the big city. Everything seemed so different from what he
was used to in their small town. The buildings were taller, the streets were busier, and there were
people everywhere, Sammy was feeling really nervous about starting school. He had never been to
a big school before, and he didn't know anyone there.
