As a children’s author, I don’t just write books.I build bridges.I carefully construct
each of my stories to connect readers to the story itself, to the characters in the story,
and to other readers.My goal is to build kids’ social－emotional learning skills to help
improve healthy relationships and prevent peer cruelty.And since October is National
Bullying Prevention Month, this is the perfect time to share with you, dear book
lovers, how literature can be used as an effective tool to address hurtful behavior.
What I’m describing here is nothing new.For years，children’s literature has been
used by advisors, parents，teachers, and librarians to address tough issues kids face
in their everyday world.Researchers report that literature, with proper adult guidance
and assistance in a safe social setting, can help form viewpoints and empathy (同情)
in young readers.And let’s face it：the more empathy and compassion kids have in
their hearts, the less room there is for arrogance and contempt(蔑视)for others.
I love what Dr.Zipora Shechtman, author of Treating Child and Adolescent
Aggression Through Bibliotherapy, said in the book，“Through the imaginative
process that reading involves，children have the opportunity to do what they often
cannot do in real life—become thoroughly involved in the inner lives of others, better
understand them, and eventually become more aware of themselves.”
Because the social world of today’s children is very complex, I try to include the
wisdom and insight of young readers in my stories, so that my books go hand in hand
with their life experiences and views.
There are also many other wonderful books that generate thoughtful conversations
(my website lists my top picks—from pre－school kids to young adults, both fiction
and nonfiction)．If you’re looking for ways to turn stories into teachable moments，
visit authors’ or publishers’ websites for ready－made lesson plans.With lessons inhand, you’re ready to open the hearts and minds of young readers to new perspectives

Going through social media can quickly convince you that everyone’s life is more
interesting than yours.During a particularly adventurous week on social media some
months ago，I saw water skiing in Mani, and swimming with wild pigs in the
Bahamas.Wild pigs! I started searching flights to new places online, imagining
adventures.Then I ordered food from the place I eat at every week and...felt bad
about not trying somewhere new.Recent research about repeat and novel experiences suggests that we ought to
reconsider those negative feelings associated with repetition.Ed O’Brien, a professor
at the University of Chicago，launched a series of studies on this topic.“There’s a
general belief that if you want to seem like an interesting, cultured person, the best
thing you can do is to showcase that you’re open to new experiences ，” he
says.“That may be true, but I think we take for granted the value of really digging
deep into one field.”
To test this hypothesis (假设), O’Brien and his team exposed all participants to the
same stimulus (刺激), including museum visits，movies，and video games.Next，some
people were asked to imagine repeating the experience，while others actually did
repeat what they had done.The researchers found that on the whole, participants said
that repeating experiences was often far more enjoyable than they had predicted.
There is joy in repetition partly because every human mind wanders.Consequently, we
miss a good part of every experience.Repeating things can really be seen as another
opportunity to actually experience something fully.O’Brien’s studies show that people
are too quick to assume that they’ve “seen all the layers” even in those cases where
they haven’t.It’s safe to assume there are more explorable layers in any
experience.When we’re noticing new things in any experience，our brain becomes
engaged.All we need to do is approach whatever task is at hand by searching for the
things that we didn’t see in it the first time around.
5．Why does the author mention his experience in Paragraph 1 ?
A．To introduce the bad feelings linked to repetition.
B．To show novel experiences are more interesting.
C．To tell us a common belief about social media.
D．To present to us his new, imagined adventures.
6．What did O’Brien’s studies find?
A. People were open to new experiences.
B．Imagination was exciting on the whole.
C．Repeating experiences made one bored.
D．Digging deep into one field was enjoyable.7．How can we keep our brain engaged?
A．By assuming we didn’t see all at first.
B．By searching for the ignored elements.
C．By approaching whatever task is at hand.
D．By keeping focused on every experience.
8．What is the best title for this passage?
A. Novel Experiences Enrich Us
B．More Layer Keep the Mind Busy
C．Repetition Makes People Happy
D．Wandering Minds Help People Explore
