What you’re expressing through your body language is as important as what you say. It’s about looking in
someone’s eyes, smiling and nodding. Showing with your face that you’re following what someone is saying is
really important. This is equally key in virtual conversations on a video chat. Remember that looking into your
laptop camera is like making eye contact, while breaking it to look downward makes it appear that you’re doing
something else.
19 “People can be considered as poor listeners when they don’t understand what the conversation is
actually about on a high level.” Dr. Bobby says. Sometimes, people simply want to talk about an unhappy
situation. Maybe they’re really just wanting to express their bad feelings, or talk about their day. So don’t try to
give suggestions; just listen instead.

The Upside to Being Outside
Research shows that being in nature makes people feel good, whether they’re roughing it in the wilderness for
days or just hanging out at a local park for a while. One study was conducted in the city of Birmingham, Alabama.
Researchers found that most participants’ mood and well-being improved significantly when they spent time in
urban parks, even though the average visit was only around half an hour.
16 For example, scientists in the United Kingdom studied the impact of the “30 Days Wild” campaign. It
challenged people to interact with nature for 30 days by enjoying earthy activities like feeding birds and planting
flowers. Participants were measurably happier and healthier throughout the challenge…and for months afterwards,too.
A．One study revealed that people were better at figuring out puzzles after a four-day camping trip.
B．According to many scientific studies, there’s a good chance it’ll make you happier, healthier, and more
creative.
C．What’s more, the lift people get from nature is long lasting.
D．Lots of people enjoy fun activities outside, like swimming, riding bikes, or climbing trees.
E．When the only light you’ve seen all day is the glow of a screen, it might be a good idea to switch it off.
F．This means that whether you’re studying or playing video games, heading outside to give your brain a
break might help you get to the next level.
G．So, kicking back in a park is a bit like treating your mind to a restful mini vacation.

The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal. 26
It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life. Let’s consider a real world example.
A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move
athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the
ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills). 27
These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them. Years later, that foundation of athletic
movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may turn into a job
offer as a business manager. The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since
ended. 28 Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions
broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and
resources that can provide value in other areas of your life.
29 Why? Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or
danger (like the tiger on the path). All of this research boils down to the fact that positive thinking is so useful for
developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of life.
But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life? 30 You probably know what thingswork well for you. Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it’s spending time with a certain person.
A．Negative emotions do the opposite.
B．However, the skills themselves live on.
C．But many of us look at things negatively.
D．The biggest benefit is an improved ability.
E．That is why the “broaden and build” theory is valuable.
F．In this way, positive emotions help to build valuable skills.
G．Anything arousing feelings of joy, contentment, and love will do the trick.

In China under imperial rule, National Day was a celebration of the Emperor’s birthday or his rise to the
throne. On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong declared the formation of the People’s Republic of China. 31 The
holiday is held annually in Hong Kong, Macau, and mainland China.
The first seven days of October are referred to as the Golden Week. This is a time of travel and leisure that is
celebrated differently in various parts of China. People in cities often travel to rural areas to relax and enjoy the
quiet surroundings. People from urban areas also travel to other cities throughout China to take part in celebrations.
32 Each year, a large National Day celebration is held in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.
Beijing’s National Day festivals are filled with military performances, food vendors, live music, and various
other activities. In Beijing and other cities, musical and dance concerts are held to celebrate National Day. Crafts,
painting, and a range of other activities can be enjoyed by people of various ages.

rockets and explosives are used to fill the sky with sparkling colors of gold and red.

families. Family members of all ages will often use this as an opportunity to travel to a central location to reconnect
after months of working. 34

When you hear your friend passed an exam that you had failed earlier, will you share her happiness? If you
can feel the joy, congratulations! 36 Studies found that Freudenfreude contributes to kind acts, such as
helping others. Celebrating the personal victories of other people can bring on more of our own.
37 Sometimes, your loss might really sting, making Freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised
in a family that paired winning with self-worth, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal
shortcoming. And factors such as mental health and overall wellbeing can also affect your ability to participate in
someone else’s joy. 38
One way to summon good feelings for others is to ask questions. You don’t need to wait for someone else’s
good news to exercise Freudenfreude. Cultivate joy by inviting others to share their victories. 39 When you
speak with them, be sure to maintain eye contact and listen attentively. This should motivate you to keep going and
make you feel as if your efforts will pay off.
Because emotions are contagious (有感染力的), showing appreciation can also increase Freudenfroude. You
can think of Freudenfreude as something you can spread when you’re experiencing personal joy. 40 Start
by sharing your win, then tell the other person how you appreciate their help. Practicing gratitude is like sharing
dessert: Both parties enjoy the sweetness of the moment, which enhances Freudenfreude for them both.
A．It is a term that describes the joy we feel when someone else succeeds.
B．You might ask: “what’s the best thing that happened to you this week?”
C．To do this, try giving others credit for their support that leads to your own.
D．While the benefits of Freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily.
E．To better understand Freudenfreude, it is important to realize that it is a win-win.
F．Still, generating Freudenfreude is worthwhile and there are ways to encourage the feeling.
G．Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call Freudenfreude.

There are plenty of ways to have a lot of fun, relax, and do some good when you have time off and you can
pay attention to things in and around your home. Having a little extra time can help you to make things better —not just for the immediate term but for the long term, too. 46
Assess and review your home and garden. Having a vacation from work can be a good time to take a good
look at where you live and assess what about the situation works well for you. Reviewing and properly looking at
your home and garden can help you relax and appreciate what you already have. 47 Gaining some clarity
on your situation can actually give you some peace of mind.
Get to know your neighbors and neighborhood. 48 A little leisure time at home can give us the breathing
space to look more closely and perhaps build new connections with either humans or other creatures — as in
wildlife with whom we live together. 49 For example, kick off planning for a community garden, or organize
a garden harvest exchange.
50 You can have much fun learning new things about gardening or food production, cooking and
preservation. You might also consider improving your skills in plant identification, wildlife recognition, etc. These
ideas may inspire you to stay at home and use the time to set yourself up for a more sustainable future. You might
be surprised by how refreshing it can be.
A．Learn new sustainability skills.
B．Make small, affordable changes for big results.
C．Sustainability skills are always of great significance.
D．You can even put on some neighborhood events or projects.
E．Often, we get into the habit of passing things by without really looking.
F．Here are some suggestions for sustainable ways to use vacation time at home.
G．It can also help you see where things could potentially be changed for the better.

【2023年新高考全国Ⅰ卷】Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is
human. ____16____ You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” ____17____ Are you caring?Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your
personality that you’re proud of.

done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing

thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t

【2023年新高考全国Ⅱ卷】As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I’m often asked by curious
followers how to begin an art journey. Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what
it was like to be a complete beginner. So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey.

are the unsung heroes of the home. ____16____, but studies have shown that they can promote people’s wellbeing
by improving their mood (心情), reducing stress and helping their memory. What’s more, indoor plants are easy to
look after and are not very expensive.

Why are indoor plants good for you?
Will Spoelstra, who works at the Royal Botanic Gardens, says, “____18____. I find during the winter months,
plants around the house can really lift your mood.” Several studies have backed this up and found that indoor plants

cooking. ____19____.
Which plants can you grow?
Aloe vera, peace lilies and spider plants are some of the species that are easy to grow indoors. You can buy

【2023年全国甲卷】Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person
Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There
is one answer. ___16___.
In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However,
research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
●Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.
___17___. “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
● Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research
suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit
of waiting is to practice. ___18___. Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra
minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply
it to other, more annoying situations.
● ___19___.
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we
experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to
say to yourself, “___20___.” You’ll then gradually become more patient.
A. Find your causes
B. Start with small tasks
C. Accept the uncomfortable

Passage 5
【2023年北京卷】It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families
as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a
decision. ____35____
When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not
counted in rankings. ____36____
Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching
than courses in higher-ranked universities. ____37____ The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is
surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most
important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.
Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education.
Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding.
____38____ Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the
result？ Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates.
____39____ Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with
more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank
schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.
What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-
quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower.
A. Higher education has achieved its true potential.
B. Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion.
C. Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor.
D. However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching.
E. Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged.
F. They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.
G. In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors.

【2021年浙江卷1月】You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need,
head to the front, and choose the line that looks fastest.
You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to
the parking lot. 11 ．
It turns out, it's just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.
Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum
delay. 12 ． Any small interruption - a price check, a chatty customer-can have downstream effects, holding up an
entire line.
If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the
probability: 13 ． So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.
Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line-
called a serpentine line - and serve each person at the front with the next available register. 14 ． This is what they
do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish
the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.
15 ． It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or
manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.A．Why does this always seem to happen to you?
B．So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines?
C．Some of the may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.

E.How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?
F.With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach.

events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.____46____Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop
negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking
tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to
believe in themselves and in what they do.
____47____People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and
anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also
contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships.____48____For example, researchers have found
that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide
a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety. Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as
a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the
contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.____49____
In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the
quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a
problem.____50____

Passage7
【2020年浙江卷1月】Let's take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body is 60% waterand we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with
clean water.
___31___For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we
turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want，but this is not the case for many
people around the world.___32___That's around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water，we can
catch diseases from the bacteria and become ill. Every year over 500，000 children die from diarrhea(腹泻)from
dirty water. That's around 1，400 children every day！Also，in some countries children walk many kilometres
every day to get water.___33___Therefore，they don't have time to learn how to read or write and don't get an
education.
___34___On this day every year，countries around the world hold events to educate people about the
problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one
school in the UK，children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water.___35___People give
them money to do this and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
A. We use water indirectly too.
B. Every system in our body depends on water to function.
C. It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems
D. If children walk many hours a day to get water，they can't go to school.
