I was sitting in the passenger seat f a pickup truck. My new friend Sherry, was driving me int a twn t resupply in exchange fr stries and curisities. She asked me, “Aren’t yu scared ut there, a yung girl, alne, in the wds?” I replied calmly, “I’m abslutely terrified.”
Over the curse f my hike, I’ve fund that the physical strength f hiking thusands f miles can be impressive t sme peple. But t mst peple, the real questins surrund ur mental curage and hw we vercme fears and frustratins.
Hiking is a physical activity that nearly anyne culd d. Thru-hiking is t hike while accepting the physical, mental and envirnmental frustratins. Thru-hiking is a sprt f curage and perseverance.
The challenges I have met thrughut my time n the Appalachian Trail culd be seen n the surface as physical illness. Frm injured ankles t virus infectin, many f my frustratins were caused by missteps and bad timing. It’s easy t enjy a hike n a cl, sunny day when the weather cperates and yur bdy flws with the trail. Hwever, thru-hiking mre cmmnly invlves hiking in weather that can cause sweating and sre feet that have lasted fr mnths.
When I apprached the trail, I thught prving hw strng I culd be physically wuld scare away the prblems part f me didn’t want t deal with. But it was n the trail that I came face t face with my persnal prblems and insecurities.
Despite its incredible ability t cnnect us, scial media can als give false impressins f day-t-day life ut here. Sme peple may see my wn scial feeds and think hiking is all abut views and wildlife. What the wrld desn’t see is that my anxiety led me t questin whether I’m fit fr this lifestyle. Smetimes my depressin made me wnder whether all f the effrt I put in was enugh. Smetimes seemingly simple tasks can lead t panic attacks.

What makes a gd life? Philsphers have ffered tw classic answers t the questin, captured by tw different Greek wrds fr happiness, hednia and eudaimnia. A hednic life is free frm pain and full f everyday pleasure. A eudaemnic life is a virtuus (高洁的) and purpseful ne, full f meaning.
But in a new study, philspher Lrraine Besser f Middlebury Cllege and psychlgist Shigehir Oishi f the University f Virginia argue that there is a third imprtant element f a gd life, which they call “psychlgical richness”.
Accrding t this view, a gd life is ne that is interesting, varied and surprising-even if sme f thse surprises aren’t necessarily pleasant nes. In fact, the things that make a life psychlgically rich may actually make it less happy in the rdinary sense.
A happy life can be bring, but a psychlgically rich life isn’t. Adventures, explratins and crises may be painful, but at least they are surprising. A psychlgically rich life may be less eudaemnic. Thse unexpected turns may lead yu t stay away frm yur riginal purpse and act in ways that are less virtuus.
Prfessrs Besser and Oishi make the case fr a psychlgically rich life in a paper that has just appeared in the jurnal Philsphical Psychlgy. But is this a life that mst peple wuld actually want, r is it just fr the srt f peple wh write philsphy articles?
T find ut, the prfessrs and their clleagues did a study invlving mre than 3,000 peple in nine cuntries. The researchers gave participants a list f 15 descriptive wrds such as “pleasant”, “meaningful” and “interesting”, and asked which best described a gd life. When they analyzed the respnses, Prfessrs Besser and Oishi fund that peple indeed thught that a happy and meaningful life was a gd life. But they als thught a psychlgically rich life was imprtant. In fact, acrss different cultures, abut 10-15%f peple said that if they were frced t chse, they wuld g fr a psychlgically rich life ver a happy r meaningful ne.
In the secnd study, the researchers psed the questin in a different way. Instead f asking peple what kind f life they wuld chse, they asked what they regretted abut the life they had actually led. Did they regret decisins that made their lives less happy r less meaningful? Or did they regret passing up a chance fr interesting and surprising experiences? If they culd und ne decisin, what wuld it be? The researchers fund that when peple thught abut their regrets, they were even mre likely t value psychlgical richness.
28. Accrding t the text, a psychlgically rich life ____________.
A. means a pleasant neB. undervalues life galsC. is anything but bringD. is full f unhappiness
29. Why did Besser and Oishi d the studies in paragraphs 6 and 7?
A. T search fr evidence fr their articles.B. T find gd ways t reflect n ne’s life.
C. T dig deep int the meaning f a gd life. D. T test their idea abut a gd life n the public.
30. What des the underlined wrd “und” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A. Annunce.B. Erase.C. Uphld.D. Judge.
31. What culd be the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. Tw studies n psychlgical healthB. Dn’t let regrets ruin yur life
C. Varius pinins n a happy lifeD. A gd life unnecessarily means a happy ne
D
Research has shwn that peple recall infrmatin better in the lng term when they return t that material ver time, rather than trying t rapidly memrize everything in a back-t-back manner. This is called “spacing effect”. Yet, the envirnments in which we learn new things are different. Imagine yu meet a new c-wrker. The next time yu encunter each ther culd be in anther lcatin r with a grup f peple. Hw des such variability impact the benefits t memry assciated with the spacing effect?
In tw experiments, we assessed hw well peple culd remember pairs f images: an item such as an animal r tl, and a scene, such as a famus lcatin r phtgraph f a rm. Fr example, participants might see a green man side by side with a phtgraph f the Eiffel Twer. Our participants bserved mre than 40 such pairings during their learning sessins. T create a mix f stable and variable features, the pairings were either presented identically, with the same item and scene always shwn tgether, r the item appeared alngside a new scene each time. Fr instance, a green man might appear with the Eiffel Twer again r beside anther landmark.
In the first experiment, the participants engaged in fur learning sessins each day ver a perid f 24 days. We spaced ut the appearance f repeated item-scene pairs frm hurs t days. On the 25th day, participants tk a test t see hw well they had learned the images. In ur secnd experiment, we cmpressed (压缩) all learning int a single sessin n just ne day. We repeated the same and variable pairs either back-t-back r with spacing-but here learning was distributed nly in the rder f secnds r minutes.
We fund that participants did a better jb at recalling whether they’d encuntered the green man when repetitins f that image had been spaced ut. But peple als remembered items better when they’d seen them paired with different scenes n each repetitin, cmpared with the items always shwn with the same scene. That is, the brain culd use change t remember the islated, stable features while relying n cnsistency (一致性) t tie tgether multiple assciated features. Overall, peple use variability and repetitin t enhance memry fr varius aspects f their experience.
32. What des the study in the passage fcus n?
A. Whether the spacing effect is beneficial t ur memry.B. The mechanisms underlying the spacing effect.
C. The differences f varius learning strategies.D. Hw envirnments affect ur memry.
33. What was the purpse f presenting the pairs either identically r differently?
A. T assess the impact f variability n memry.
B. T measure the participants’ preference fr specific scenes.
C. T determine if familiar scenes are mre effective in learning.
D. T test the participants’ ability t recgnize famus landmarks.
34. What can we learn abut the tw experiments?
A. The secnd experiment was cnducted in a 24-day perid.
B. Bth experiments used hurly breaks in learning sessins.
C. The first grup f participants recalled the pairs mre quickly.
D. Repetitins were spaced ver secnds r minutes in the secnd experiment.
35. What cnclusin can be drawn frm the study?
A. The brain is the mst cmplex structure in the bdy.
B. Bth spacing and variability can cntribute t memry.
C. Enriched envirnments fster the develpment f memry.
D. Rapid memrizatin leads t increased prductivity and efficiency

Dear Ryan,
I’m Li Hua frm Class 3. We really appreciate yur effrt t engage students in the evaluatin prcess. Hwever, I’m afraid that peer assessment might be prblematic, fr sme may lack the ability t prvide cnstructive feedback, leading t misunderstandings r demtivatin.
T facilitate an effective peer review system, instead f restricting evaluatins t deskmates, wuld yu cnsider frming temprary grups with students frm different backgrunds r skill levels? This wuld prvide a richer variety f perspectives and prmte mre cnstructive feedback.

Thank yu fr cnsidering my suggestins. I am mre than happy t discuss this further.
