In my early thirties, I decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa at 5,895
meters above sea level.
After months of preparation, I started my great 16 . At the base of the mountain, I met Mik, a local
porter, who warmly 17 me. Mik’s job was to carry my equipment up the mountain, set up the tent (帐

Day two was much steeper (陡峭的) and rockier. I really had to 24 what I was doing. And I felt

Over the next five days, the climb got 28 difficult. The temperatures could 29 from 21℃ to
below freezing in a few hours. At 5,700 meters, there’s only half the oxygen 30 in each breath
compared to at sea level. That leaves many people with severe headache. Yet Mik remained 31 . He
always had a smile and a positive 32 . It had an enormous impact on me, giving me the 33 to
keep going.

One freezing morning last February, I walked through Ontario Place. Trees were frosted sculptures.
Large chunks of ice floated in the lake. Then I saw a group of people in bathing suits bouncing up and down
in the water. They held hands, shouting and yelling into the sky. They looked and sounded so free.
I’ve always found cold water thrilling. The shock of it is like pressing a switch. It seems to reset my
body and soul.
And last winter, I definitely needed a reset. I woke up most mornings with a dull, grey feeling as I
forced myself out of bed to start the day. I needed something to cheer myself up, but I didn’t know what,
until that day.
The ice warriors (勇士) emerged from the lake, their skin steaming. Trembling, they were yet laughing
and hugging each other. I called out: “You guys are awesome!” One woman waved back,“Come and join us!
We’re here every Monday morning.”
The night before my first dip (游泳) , I was excited and nervous. Cold water was one thing, but this icy
第6页 | 共13页lake was a whole other level. Should I back out? Eventually, I got up in the dark and drove to the meeting
spot.
After some wild warmup, I charged into the lake along with others. We yelled into the sky. Teeth
chattering, heart rates slowing, fingers and toes going numb (麻木), we stayed there for somewhere between
two and five minutes. Knowing it was my fist time, people cheered me on. It felt amazing. I was stupid with
cold, but I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so happy.
Now I go dipping almost every day, and I’ve come to long for that moment when the cold becomes a
second skin and my internal voice goes silent. Apart from the thrill of those first heart-stopping dives,
which, ironically, saved me from going under, what has drawn me is this community of generous,
open-hearted souls.
We laughed together, often, but from the stories we’ve shared about ourselves, I know I’m not the only
one who faces life’s challenges. Holding hands in the freezing lake, we looked out for each other last winter
and will do so through this one.
It won’t fix everything in our lives—but for some reason, it helps. At the end of each session I return
home feeling stronger, lighter, more able to carry on. As another winter sets in, I’m more than ready to
embrace the cold again.

I love making art and looking at artworks. I’ve found myself wondering how we gain pleasure from art.
And now neuroaesthetics, a combination of neuroscience (神经科学) and aesthetics (美学), may provide an
answer.
Neuroaesthetics is a relatively young field of research on what happens in the brain when we make
aesthetic assessments. Researchers use brain imaging technique to see which brain areas light up when we
view paintings that we consider beautiful. Similar research has been done to understand the “neuronal
fireworks” that occur when we look at inspiring sculptures, attractive faces, impressive dance, etc.
But why do we find some art beautiful and other art ugly? According to research, it all comes down to
the “aesthetic triad (三元组合)”.
The first part of the triad is sensory-motor. This involves perceiving things like colours, shapes and
movements. Movement in art has an interesting role. If you see a painting of a movement, like of a man
pulling his arm away after being bitten by a dog, you feel like going through a similar experience. The part
of your brain that controls your own movements lights up in response.
Second is emotion-valuation. This is how a piece of art makes you feel, and whether or not you
appreciate or enjoy that feeling. The part of the brain related to pleasure is activated in response to
something we find beautiful. This system can be affected in fascinating ways, as found by research using
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) (经颅磁刺激). If TMS is applied to a specific part of your brain
behind your forehead that is particularly important for decision-making, you suddenly like different kinds of
art. Such stimulation produces significant changes in aesthetic appreciation of faces, bodies and artworks.
The third part is meaning-knowledge. This is to do with how we can connect with a piece of art and
what meaning we can create in it. Art is deeply personal, because when two people see the same artwork,
第8页 | 共13页our perception can create vastly different experiences of meaning. If we find meaning, then we often find
pleasure. We also get enjoyment from the knowledge of how something was made. For the images that an
artist creates, viewers will probably get far more enjoyment once they know the process used to create them.
Informed by neuroaesthetics, the next time I create my art I will value the process even more, enjoying
the activation of the aesthetic triad in my brain as I admire the vivid images that I have created.
46. What does “neuronal fireworks” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. beautiful painting or sculpture.
B. The lighting-up of specific brain areas.
C. An advanced brain imaging technology.
D. The aesthetic assessment of modern art.
47. What effect does movement in art produce on the viewers?
A. Certain part of their brain is activated.
B. Their experience of pain is reduced.
C. Their aesthetic sense is sharpened.
D. Their body reactions are delayed.
48. The application of TMS to the brain described in Paragraph 5 leads to
A. raised memory capacity
B. enhanced painting skills
C. changed artistic taste
D. improved decision-making ability
49. According to the author, what increases our enjoyment of a piece of art?
A. Knowing how it is created.
B. Having a pleasant personality.
C. Learning how science develops.
D. Understanding the meaning of life.
50. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To propose an abstract theory of art making.
B. To reveal the beauty of science in an artistic way.
C. To share some personal understanding of artworks.
D. To introduce a new research field for art appreciation.

Most people with good sense would accept that we can and should learn from accidental failures. It
would be impossible to progress in anything, after all, without taking the occasional misstep. And by
understanding how we slipped, we can avoid falling in the future.
Few would advocate making intentional mistakes, however. Yet consciously erring (犯错) can promote
deeper understanding and better recall. The phenomenon is known as the derring effect—coming from
“deliberate (故意的) erring”—and when applied properly, it may bring benefits in many unexpected areas of
life.
In one experiment carried out at the National University of Singapore, participants were given the task
of learning concepts on a difficult subject. For some terms, they simply copied out the correct definition; for
others, they were asked to first add an error in their description of the term before correcting the mistake.
Naturally, you would expect the addition of the errors to have increased unwanted confusion. Yet the
exact opposite was true: the participants who made deliberate errors learned about twice as much as the
people who simply copied out the correct definitions.
The derring effect could be applied in other situations. So a music teacher may find the addition of
deliberate errors could help a student remember the right musical notes. Such a playful approach could
fuel their creativity for composition, if the student looks for ways to develop those wrong notes into
something more attractive. It is encouraging to discover that by readily accepting our errors and wisely
placing ourselves in the way of being wrong, we can in fact overcome weaknesses and rise stronger.
The derring effect could be useful for many other challenges too. If you enjoy cooking, for example,
you may faithfully follow a recipe without questioning the instructions. But why not try to break away from
those habits and deliberately do the “wrong” thing for a change, and see where your derring takes you? If
you are painting, meanwhile, you could relax one of the constraints (限制) that you usually put on your
work and see what you produce.
At worst, you will have refreshed and deepened your knowledge of the rules you normally apply, so that
you can be even more effective next time. At best, you may just find that you have discovered something
completely new and unexpected, through a flash of inspiration that you would have missed with
perfectionism. Either way, your apparent missteps will have moved you a little closer to true mastery.
51. In Paragraph 1, the author presents ________.
A. a routine warning
第10页 | 共13页B. a popular misbelief
C. a commonly-held view
D. a theoretical assumption

Growing up in San Francisco, Grace Young used to watch her father shop daily in Chinatown for
whatever he needed to make traditional Chinese meals at home. As an award-winning cookbook author, Ms.
Young, now 66, has spent decades shopping the same way in New York’s Chinatown.
Ms. Young developed a passion for cooking at an early age. At 13, she started to sit in on cooking
classes. After college, Ms. Young moved to New York and worked in a book-packaging company. In her
30s, she realized that while she had helped create more than 40 cookbooks, she didn’t know how to make
the dishes that tasted of home. “I knew if I recorded all of my parents’ recipes, it would be a great gift that I
could give my family and the next generation.” she says.
Yet what began as a recipe book became a kind of memoir. Talking about food encouraged her parents
to finally open up about their past, like the fact that her father had owned a Chinatown restaurant in the
1940s. “It was really an amazing way to learn not only my family’s recipes, but also my family’s story.” she
says. The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen (1999) launched Ms.Young’s work in preserving and sustaining
Chinese culinary (烹饪的) traditions.
Ms. Young has also devoted herself to supporting the restaurants in Chinatown. Since early 2020, Ms.
Young has raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and deliver them to those in need. This
year, instead of cooking at home for her husband and friends, she celebrated the Chinese New Year with
various dishes from local restaurants in Chinatown. “If these restaurants don’t survive, Chinese culinary
traditions in our city won’t survive.” she says.
