The COVID-19 pandemic has been a frequent tpic f cnversatin fr mst f us ver the past year. As we dreamt f indr dining, vacatins, and hugging ur friends again, my friend Ana texted that her mther, living in Brazil, had been infected by the crnavirus. I wn’t g int details here, but the disruptin t life in Brazil have been especially upsetting cnsidering their scial and cultural nrms (规范).
Ana is Brazilian, and I’m frm the US. While living in New Yrk City, we became fast friends despite the few awkward cultural differences I learned t deal with. She was cmfrtable with intimacy; I preferred t keep my distance. She liked the cmpany f many; I liked the friendship f few. It was awkward fr me t lean in fr a quick hug, nly t be embraced then kissed n the cheeks. T this day, I’m nt an excellent cheek kisser, but I try. She is ne f many peple ver the years wh have educated me, in a way, abut delighting in cultural difference.
I called Ana t check n her mther and I was primarily curius abut hw scial and cultural nrms have been affected. It’s difficult, said Ana, because the necessary health regulatins are ppsite t “what we believe and everything we knw abut living in a cmmunity and displaying feelings f lve”, but she hasn’t given up hpe. I asked if the shifts made during the pandemic will change cultural nrms. “Abslutely nt,” said Ana. This is wh Brazilians are in nature and change desn’t happen vernight. They spend a lt f time and energy investing in relatinships, and the deeply rted scial cnventins wn’t change quickly.
Over the years, Ana has shared many stries that emphasize the differences in ur upbringing. I delight in ur differences, even if kissing n the cheek makes me uncmfrtable. We find ur cmmnalities, like talking with ur hands, being expressive, and valuing cmmunity. And we learn frm ur differences. COVID disrupted many things, but thrugh all f this, Ana said, we must cnstantly be adjusting, understanding, and ding what’s best fr ur cmmunities and the peple we lve.

China’s yung peple have created yet anther wrd t reflect their grwing disappintment with the stressful wrk culture. The new lifestyle ht wrd, tang ping, is an actin rather than a feeling — deciding t just g by, using a minimum effrt at an unsatisfactry jb.
Wendy said that her lying-dwn philsphy culd be summed up as “Putting the peacefulness f the bdy and sul first.” “Accrding t the mainstream standard, a gd lifestyle must include wrking hard, trying t get gd results n wrk evaluatins, struggling t buy a huse and a car, and having babies,” she said, “Hwever, I am lking frward t ‘lying dwn entirely’— quitting my jb and living ff my savings.”
Tang ping has cme under fire frm Chinese state media. “N matter what, yung peple must have cnfidence in the future,” read a newper. “China is the wrld’s mst ppulus cuntry, with rich labr resurces and a huge market advantage. The nly happy life is a hard-wrking life. “The lying-dwn cmmunity bviusly isn’t gd fr the cuntry’s ecnmic and scial develpment,” said Guangming Daily. Hwever, the newper added that tang ping shuldn’t be ignred withut reflectin: if China wants t encurage hard wrk in the yung generatin, it shuld first try t imprve their quality f life.
“The state is wrried abut what wuld happen if everyne stpped wrking,” said Huang Ping, a literature prfessr. “But humans aren’t merely tls fr making things,” he said. T lie dwn is a reasnable chice rather than a negative attitude. Fr sme yung peple, it’s a way fr them t reduce pressure. “When yu can’t catch up with sciety’s develpment— say, high huse prices — tang ping is actually the mst practical chice.” he said.
Lying dwn can be seen as the ppsite f invlutin (内卷), referring t scieties becming trapped in cntinual cycles f cmpetitin. “In a relatively gd scial envirnment, peple may feel invluted, but at least they’re trying” he said. “If it’s wrse, peple will tang ping.”
Alternatively, the mre mtivated amng the yung generatin have accepted FIRE—“Financial Independence, Retire Early” — in the hpe f smeday escaping the severe cmpetitin nce and fr all.
8．What is Wendy’s gal in life?
A．T keep up with sciety’s develpment.B．T depend n her savings t live.
C．T get prmted in her cmpany.D．T be highly evaluated at wrk.
9．What d state media think the yung shuld d?
A．Imprve their quality f life.B．Reflect n China’s develpment.
C．Base their future n hard wrk.D．Live a happy life by lying dwn.
10．What des Prfessr Huang think f the “lying dwn” style?
A．It means lw quality f life fr the yung.
B．It prevents the develpment f sciety.
C．It mtivates the yung t welcme their future.
D．It remves the heavy life pressure frm the yung.
11．What can be inferred frm the last tw paragraphs?

Next time yu are struggling with the crsswrd, try putting the kettle n. Drinking a cup f tea can imprve creativity, a study suggests.
Researchers gave men and wmen either tea r water and then asked them t cmplete a wrd assciatin game, which was used t measure a frm f creativity knwn as cnvergent thinking (聚合思维).
In the game, the participants were given sets f wrds such as “same, tennis, head” and asked t find a meaningful link between them. The answer, in this case, wuld be “match?”. After analysing the results in a way that ruled ut the ptential effects f a persn’s intelligence and language ability, the researchers, frm Peking University in China, fund that thse wh drank the tea perfrmed significantly better in the wrd assciatin game. The tea drinkers scred an average f 13. 89 in the wrd assciatin game cmpared with 12. 94 fr water drinkers.
The researchers said it was nt clear why tea has this beneficial effect. Tea cntains caffeine and theanine, which can imprve attentin, but the 100 participants in the study drank nly a small amunt f tea—90ml, n average—and caried ut the tests very sn after cnsuming it, meaning any effect wuld have been ignred. “This result shwed that the tea drinking event itself—rather than the bilgical cm-pnents f tea—played a psitive rle,” the researchers said.
“Previus research has fund that peple tend t assciate tea drinking with a specific set f persnality traits, such as smart, creative, elegant, cnfident, and stable. It may be that when participants are stimulated (刺激) by tea, the mental representatin f a tea drinker is als activated, and they uncnsciusly think that they shuld be smarter and mre creative,” they added, “Future research shuld fcus n specific mechanisms (机制) and clarify which variables mderate the impact f tea cnsumptin n cnvergent thinking.
12．What did the participants have t d in the study?
A．Pair the wrds with each ther.
B．Guess the meaning f the wrds.
C．Find a cnnectin between the wrds.
D．Tell the differences amng the wrds.
13．What helped a participant get a higher scre accrding t the researchers?
A．The actin f drinking tea itself.
B．The participant’s intelligence.
C．The participant’s language ability.
D．The bilgical cmpnents f tea.
14．What can be inferred frm the previus research?
A．Drinking tea makes peple mre active.
B．Drinking tea is ppular amng the yuth.
C．Peple tend t drink tea mre than befre.
D．Peple drinking tea are ften thught smart.
15．Which f the fllwing can be the best title f the text?
A．Drinking Tea Is Gd fr Health.

Several factrs can influence yur first impressin f smene, including their physical features, vice and speech, surrunding envirnment, etc. It takes time t get t knw persnal characteristics that really cnvey (传达) smene’s nature. 16 These tips can help.

While a first impressin can set the tne (基调) fr future interactins, it’s als wrth keeping in mind that first impressins are largely uncnscius. Just apprach every new meeting with kindness, cmpassin, and a willingness t grw.
A．What abut learning a lessn frm it at present?
B．It’s all t easy t accidentally say smething incnsiderate.
C．And keep any cmments r praise yu ffer hnest and genuine.

China’s yung peple have created yet anther wrd t reflect their grwing disappintment with the stressful wrk culture. The new lifestyle ht wrd, tang ping, is an actin rather than a feeling — deciding t just g by, using a minimum effrt at an unsatisfactry jb.
Wendy said that her lying-dwn philsphy culd be summed up as “Putting the peacefulness f the bdy and sul first.” “Accrding t the mainstream standard, a gd lifestyle must include wrking hard, trying t get gd results n wrk evaluatins, struggling t buy a huse and a car, and having babies,” she said, “Hwever, I am lking frward t ‘lying dwn entirely’— quitting my jb and living ff my savings.”
Tang ping has cme under fire frm Chinese state media. “N matter what, yung peple must have cnfidence in the future,” read a newper. “China is the wrld’s mst ppulus cuntry, with rich labr resurces and a huge market advantage. The nly happy life is a hard-wrking life. “The lying-dwn cmmunity bviusly isn’t gd fr the cuntry’s ecnmic and scial develpment,” said Guangming Daily. Hwever, the newper added that tang ping shuldn’t be ignred withut reflectin: if China wants t encurage hard wrk in the yung generatin, it shuld first try t imprve their quality f life.
“The state is wrried abut what wuld happen if everyne stpped wrking,” said Huang Ping, a literature prfessr. “But humans aren’t merely tls fr making things,” he said. T lie dwn is a reasnable chice rather than a negative attitude. Fr sme yung peple, it’s a way fr them t reduce pressure. “When yu can’t catch up with sciety’s develpment— say, high huse prices — tang ping is actually the mst practical chice.” he said.
Lying dwn can be seen as the ppsite f invlutin (内卷), referring t scieties becming trapped in cntinual cycles f cmpetitin. “In a relatively gd scial envirnment, peple may feel invluted, but at least they’re trying” he said. “If it’s wrse, peple will tang ping.”
Alternatively, the mre mtivated amng the yung generatin have accepted FIRE—“Financial Independence, Retire Early” — in the hpe f smeday escaping the severe cmpetitin nce and fr all.

Next time yu are struggling with the crsswrd, try putting the kettle n. Drinking a cup f tea can imprve creativity, a study suggests.
Researchers gave men and wmen either tea r water and then asked them t cmplete a wrd assciatin game, which was used t measure a frm f creativity knwn as cnvergent thinking (聚合思维).
In the game, the participants were given sets f wrds such as “same, tennis, head” and asked t find a meaningful link between them. The answer, in this case, wuld be “match?”. After analysing the results in a way that ruled ut the ptential effects f a persn’s intelligence and language ability, the researchers, frm Peking University in China, fund that thse wh drank the tea perfrmed significantly better in the wrd assciatin game. The tea drinkers scred an average f 13. 89 in the wrd assciatin game cmpared with 12. 94 fr water drinkers.
The researchers said it was nt clear why tea has this beneficial effect. Tea cntains caffeine and theanine, which can imprve attentin, but the 100 participants in the study drank nly a small amunt f tea—90ml, n average—and caried ut the tests very sn after cnsuming it, meaning any effect wuld have been ignred. “This result shwed that the tea drinking event itself—rather than the bilgical cm-pnents f tea—played a psitive rle,” the researchers said.
“Previus research has fund that peple tend t assciate tea drinking with a specific set f persnality traits, such as smart, creative, elegant, cnfident, and stable. It may be that when participants are stimulated (刺激) by tea, the mental representatin f a tea drinker is als activated, and they uncnsciusly think that they shuld be smarter and mre creative,” they added, “Future research shuld fcus n specific mechanisms (机制) and clarify which variables mderate the impact f tea cnsumptin n cnvergent thinking.
12．What did the participants have t d in the study?
A．Pair the wrds with each ther.
B．Guess the meaning f the wrds.
C．Find a cnnectin between the wrds.
D．Tell the differences amng the wrds.
13．What helped a participant get a higher scre accrding t the researchers?
A．The actin f drinking tea itself.
B．The participant’s intelligence.
C．The participant’s language ability.
D．The bilgical cmpnents f tea.
14．What can be inferred frm the previus research?
A．Drinking tea makes peple mre active.
B．Drinking tea is ppular amng the yuth.
C．Peple tend t drink tea mre than befre.
D．Peple drinking tea are ften thught smart.
