When receiving the invitatin t a dinner by a friend wh wrked at Nasa’s Jet Prpulsin Labratry, Narayanswami was excited. Many f the guests flew planes. “I must have expressed sme desires,” she says, because smene tld her: “Yu shuld jin the flying club!” The next day Narayanswami, wh was 57 at the time, arranged t meet an instructr. “I said: ‘Aren’t I t ld?’ He said: ‘We’ve gt students in their 80s.’”
Narayanswami grew up in Suthwest Lndn, and at grammar schl suffered hrrific racist bullying. The library prvided shelter. But, as she reached her late teens, she felt family pressure fr an arranged marriage; “I really prtested,” she says. “But I want t be an astrnaut! My mther made a prmise.’ As lng as yu are getting an educatin, we will nt lk fr a husband fr yu.’”
Narayanswami studied bilgy at Leicester University, then did a PhD at St Andrews, fllwed by pstdctral research at the University f Califrnia. “Every time yu mve, yu get further away,” her dad remarked n the phne. “I didn’t feel I wuld be able t escape unless I did that,” she says.
In 2020, aged 64, Narayanswami finished 423 flight hurs she needed t earn her pilt’s license. Then she applied t Nasa’s astrnaut crps, but received a very appreciative rejectin. Even nw, at 66, she says: “I haven’t been able t figure ut hw t deal with it. It desn’t g away.” The racist bullying she receivedas a child has cast a very lng shadw.
Flying has helped. It is a wrkut: she has t tw the plane ut t the taxiway. And it ffers a different perspective. “I can see eagles, bears, muntain lins, birds f prey. I lve the beauty f the cluds. They are like hills, vaster than ur hills,” she says.
New pssibilities have arisen ---Narayanswami chairs the bard f the General Aviatin Awards in the US --- but she finds relaxing difficult. In flight, she is “part f a huge netwrk f peple wh are cmmunicating by radi frequency. There is n sense f skin clur. We are all tied tgether by ur vices.”

We are all familiar with that little excitement frm creating a ppular pst n Facebk. Watching the number f likes can be bth attractive and addictive.
That same buzz（兴奋）can have its disadvantages, thugh. We all knw the feeling f watching ther peple’s psts get unending psitive feedback. We tell urselves that the nly reasn why these peple are getting attentin is that they’re ppular and gd-lking. We sink int self-lading（自我讨厌）and cmparisn. Therefre, after experimenting with hiding likes n Instagram in select cuntries, Facebk is explring ding the same n its main platfrm.
That Facebk is cnsidering this is encuraging. After years f appearing t ignre criticism abut
its effects n sciety, the cmpany finally seems t be listening. Hwever, there is a basic cnflict between Facebk’s business mdel and its new-fund altruism（利己主义）. Relying n Facebk t lk after its users’ mental health is a bit like asking McDnald’s t keep its custmers’ bld pressure under cntrl: At sme pint, a cmpany’s need t make mney is nt in line with its suppsed desire t d gd.
The prblem with likes is that they mark ut hw successful r happy thers are, which in turn can prmte a feeling f envy and insecurity. It’s a real phenmenn. Hwever, Facebk wuld certainly want yu t pst things that get mre likes. The cmpany’s success relies upn yu psting mre and encuraging mre “engagement” frm ther peple s that the value f Facebk’s targeted ad business increases.
Facebk’s reliance n engagement is deep-rted, and it destrys a suppsed desire t prevent the platfrm frm encuraging envy. Withut dubt, hiding likes can have sme benefit, but the way Facebk is built means that this will always be a small step at best.
28. Why des Facebk try hiding likes n its main platfrm?
A. T catch mre users’ eyes.
B. T get invlved in an experiment.
C. T reduce users’ negative feelings.
D. T encurage users’ psting psitive things.
29. What can we infer frm the cmparisn between Facebk and McDnald’s?
A. Facebk shws less cncern fr users’ mental health.
B. Facebk fcuses mre n the users’ interests.
C. Facebk makes a health y prfit frm the users.
D. Facebk utperfrms McDnald’s in terms f service.
30. What des mre “engagement” mean t Facebk accrding t paragraph 4?
A. Mre users’ needs. B. The grwth f value.
C. The increases f desire. D. Mre users’ security.
31. What is the authr’s attitude twards Facebk’s hiding likes?
A. Negative. B. Psitive.
C. Indifferent. D. Objective.

We are tld by Psychlgists that ur self-image defines what we believe we can and cannt d. Each f us ver the years has built up belief abut urselves: Uncnsciusly, ur pictures f wh we are have been frmed by past experiences. Our successes and failures, what thers have tld us and what we think peple believe abut us all help frm impressins f what we think we are. Because self-image is s imprtant in ur grwth, it is imprtant t examine ur cncepts f self in rder t reach ur full ptential.
Changing ur self-image is pssible: Sme psychlgists suggest we begin t change ur self-image by mentally picturing urselves perfrming well at sme task. Since we presently react t things based n ur present images, it’s suggested that we replace thse with better nes. In many experiments, peple were asked t sit quietly fr a few minutes each day and imagine themselves ding well. Fr instance, subjects wuld sit and imagine themselves thrwing darts at a bull’s-eye（靶心）n a target. Over a perid f weeks, their dart game imprved. This has been dne with peple wh wanted t play chess better, thrw a ball mre accurately, increase their salesmanship r musical talents, and imprve many ther skills. In mst cases, remarkable imprvement is made.
The pint f changing self-image is nt t develp an image f urselves that is nt real. T try t becme smething we really aren’t is just as wrng as living the unrealistic, inferir image we may have. The aim is t find the real self, t bring ur mental images f urselves in line with ur true ptential. Hwever, it is generally accepted amng psychlgists that mst f us fail t d justice t urselves. We’re usually better than we think we are.
Anther imprtant part f changing self-image is t nt think abut past mistakes. Dn’t let failures d harm. Our errrs r humiliatin （耻辱）ver mistakes are necessary steps in learning. It is all right t make mistakes. But when they have taught us what we did wrng, we shuld frget them and nt think them ver. Smetimes we keep remembering ur failures r mistakes and feel guilty r embarrassed abut them. We let them take ver, and then we develp a fear.
It is imprtant t have realistic expectatins f urselves. Sme f ur dissatisfactin might cme frm expecting t much f urselves. If we demand cnstant perfectin in everything we d, we can be disappinted and ur pr self-image will cntinue. If ur gal is t reach perfectin, we are dmed（注定失败）frm the start.
32. Which situatin agrees with the idea f the passage?
A. T utshine his clleagues, Je sets an idealistic gal.
B. T get alng with her classmates, Dris is always mdest abut herself.
C. T win a speech cntest, Tina pictures herself speaking mre cnfidently.
D. T becme a star player, Alexander repeatedly plays back his faults in his mind.
33. What is the purpse f Paragraph 3?
A. T clarify the rule f changing self-image.
B. T cnfirm the influence f changing self-image.
C. T highlight the imprtance f changing self-image.
D. T prpse a new pint f view n changing self-image.
34. Accrding t the authr, hw shuld we regard ur past mistakes?
A. They are tls fr vercming fear. B. They are part f ur grwth.
C. They are warnings fr future. D. They are harmful t ur develpment.
35. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title f the passage?
A. We Are What We D
B. We Are What We Think We Are
C. Be the Best We Can Be
D. What We Are Decides What We Think

It’s hard t talk t dads smetimes. The rles we ften expect ur fathers t play --- prtectr, prvider--- can make them seem impenetrable（不可理解的）. That’s hw it was with my dad. He came t Canada at the age f ten and settled in an immigrant cmmunity. He was never much f a talker. He rarely drank, s we didn’t get t see him lsen up after a few beers. He didn’t tell stries abut himself at the dinner table r when we went fr walks in the park. He was a private persn and seemed t want t stay that way.
Bringing up s many questins I had abut life befre I was brn ---his early hpes and dreams, lves and heartbreaks --- let alne sharing my wn feelings, felt like t much fr us t handle. I didn’t want t threaten the integrity（完整）f his hard shell. I had gtten used t it, and it made me feel secure.

I’d be at my desk in an apartment 20 minutes away.
S I wrte t him. I tld him abut my regrets and fears, and I asked him t answer, if he felt like it, and t share smething abut himself, smething that wuld give me much-needed perspective n my life, especially n relatinship and career.

Tw weeks later, his respnse shwed up in my email bx. It was a scanned three-page dcument. Apparently, my dad had carefully cnsidered my message, reached back int his memry and crafted a respnse. In the letter, he shared his hi stry f lve, lnging, self-dubt, fears and struggles in life. He als ffered me sme practical suggestins n hw t handle my relatinship and career.

It’s hard t talk t dads smetimes, but I’m glad that I fund a way t talk t mine.

We are tld by Psychlgists that ur self-image defines what we believe we can and cannt d. Each f us ver the years has built up belief abut urselves: Uncnsciusly, ur pictures f wh we are have been frmed by past experiences. Our successes and failures, what thers have tld us and what we think peple believe abut us all help frm impressins f what we think we are. Because self-image is s imprtant in ur grwth, it is imprtant t examine ur cncepts f self in rder t reach ur full ptential.
Changing ur self-image is pssible: Sme psychlgists suggest we begin t change ur self-image by mentally picturing urselves perfrming well at sme task. Since we presently react t things based n ur present images, it’s suggested that we replace thse with better nes. In many experiments, peple were asked t sit quietly fr a few minutes each day and imagine themselves ding well. Fr instance, subjects wuld sit and imagine themselves thrwing darts at a bull’s-eye（靶心）n a target. Over a perid f weeks, their dart game imprved. This has been dne with peple wh wanted t play chess better, thrw a ball mre accurately, increase their salesmanship r musical talents, and imprve many ther skills. In mst cases, remarkable imprvement is made.
The pint f changing self-image is nt t develp an image f urselves that is nt real. T try t becme smething we really aren’t is just as wrng as living the unrealistic, inferir image we may have. The aim is t find the real self, t bring ur mental images f urselves in line with ur true ptential. Hwever, it is generally accepted amng psychlgists that mst f us fail t d justice t urselves. We’re usually better than we think we are.
Anther imprtant part f changing self-image is t nt think abut past mistakes. Dn’t let failures d harm. Our errrs r humiliatin （耻辱）ver mistakes are necessary steps in learning. It is all right t make mistakes. But when they have taught us what we did wrng, we shuld frget them and nt think them ver. Smetimes we keep remembering ur failures r mistakes and feel guilty r embarrassed abut them. We let them take ver, and then we develp a fear.
It is imprtant t have realistic expectatins f urselves. Sme f ur dissatisfactin might cme frm expecting t much f urselves. If we demand cnstant perfectin in everything we d, we can be disappinted and ur pr self-image will cntinue. If ur gal is t reach perfectin, we are dmed（注定失败）frm the start.
32. Which situatin agrees with the idea f the passage?
A. T utshine his clleagues, Je sets an idealistic gal.
B. T get alng with her classmates, Dris is always mdest abut herself.
C. T win a speech cntest, Tina pictures herself speaking mre cnfidently.
D. T becme a star player, Alexander repeatedly plays back his faults in his mind.
33. What is the purpse f Paragraph 3?
A. T clarify the rule f changing self-image.
B. T cnfirm the influence f changing self-image.
C. T highlight the imprtance f changing self-image.
D. T prpse a new pint f view n changing self-image.
34. Accrding t the authr, hw shuld we regard ur past mistakes?
A. They are tls fr vercming fear. B. They are part f ur grwth.
C. They are warnings fr future. D. They are harmful t ur develpment.

It’s hard t talk t dads smetimes. The rles we ften expect ur fathers t play --- prtectr, prvider--- can make them seem impenetrable（不可理解的）. That’s hw it was with my dad.

He didn’t tell stries abut himself at the dinner table r when we went fr walks in the park. He was a private persn and seemed t want t stay that way.

Tw weeks later, his respnse shwed up in my email bx. It was a scanned three-page dcument. Apparently, my dad had carefully cnsidered my message, reached back int his memry and crafted a respnse. In the letter, he shared his hi stry f lve, lnging, self-dubt, fears and struggles in life. He als ffered me sme practical suggestins n hw t handle my relatinship and career. While reading, I gt the sense that it must have been really tugh fr my dad t settle dwn a new cuntry at an early age. I was als impressed by the great perseverance he shwed in the face f difficulty.
I clsed the email and started t cry. I cried because I wished I had pened up earlier but was grateful it wasn’t t late. I cried because in the midst f my wn struggles, his letter instantly put me at ease. And I cried because in the end, it was s simple: I just had t hit “Send”. We’ve since had many exchanges. My prblems haven’t been magically slved, but getting t knw my dad better---and learning t lve him mre ---has made the tugh stuff mre manageable and life sweeter. It’s hard t talk t dads smetimes, but I’m glad that I fund a way t talk t mine.
