One evening in 1951, astrnmer William Mrgan was walking hme frm Yerkes Observatry in Wiscnsin when he lked up at the night sky and had “a creative insight burst”. It slved ne f the greatest mysteries f astrnmy.
An “aha! Mment”, such as Mrgan’s great insight, is a new idea that arrives suddenly, ften bursting int an nging stream f thught. It may pp up while smene is actively trying t slve a prblem.
Individuals tend t have mre analytical (分析型的) r insightful thinking; we aren’t limited t ne r the ther. It’s up t the md. Imagine yu are in Africa 25,000 years ag. Yu see a lin a cuple f meters away and are seized with fear. Yur thinking immediately becmes very careful and analytical because if yu make ne mistake, yu are finished. Can the lin see me r hear me? If I run, is the lin clse enugh t catch up?
Yu manage t escape. That evening yu are back in the cave, sitting by the fire and sharing fd with yur peple. Yu are enjying safety. In yur prtected shelter, yu can have creative thughts and d smething imaginative. S 25,000 years later, we find the innvative stne tls and breathtaking cave paintings that inspired future generatins.
An bvius way t increase insightfulness is therefre t relax when yu aren’t anxius r rushed. Anther way is expansin in space: When yu are in a large rm r the great utdrs under a starry sky, as Mrgan was — yur attentin expands in the large space. Yu will cnsider the whle rather than the parts, thus enhancing insightful thinking.
Mdern sciety’s unrelenting demand fr prductivity and speed ften rejects insight. Even s, remember the value and pwer f insights and the cnditins that spark them.
As Mrgan shws, when it cmes t an “aha! Mment”, the sky is the limit.

A little brwn-and-white bird flies acrss the East African grassland. Her sharp eyes scan the tall grass. She lands in the trees and listens. What’s that buzzing sund? Bees have built a hive (蜂房) in a big branch. The bird lves t eat beeswax (蜂蜡), but she’s t small t challenge a whle clud f bees. Luckily this little bird has a secret tl fr getting that delicius meal withut getting attacked: humans!
In fact, birds f her species have been guiding tribes (部落) in East Africa t hney fr thusands f years. The bird flies back abve the tall grass, lking fr humans. When she finds them, she chatters ludly t attract their attentin. Humans knw that this call means the bird is ready t lead them t hney. They grab their tls and run after her. When they reach the hive, the bird sings a new sng t say, “Here it is!” At the base f the tree, the humans build a fire. They use smke t calm the bees and break the hive pen with an axe. Gathering hneycmbs frm inside, they carefully fill buckets with delicius hney.
When the buckets are full, they leave the wax cmbs n the grund fr the bird. Many tribes let the bird eat as much hneycmb as the bird likes after a hunt. But sme, like the Hadza in Tanzaniae, nly let the bird eat a cuple muthfuls. They believe that this will keep the bird hungry and ready t find mre hives fr them.
As mre peple mve t cities, fewer peple knw hw t g n a hney hunt. The birds’ territry is becming smaller. But there are still tribes wh lve these smart little birds. They knw that by wrking tgether, life’s a little sweeter fr everyne.

A landmark study invlving Chinese teenagers reveals that intense heatwaves significantly increase depressin and anxiety symptms. Published in the Jurnal f Affective Disrders, the research demnstrates that fr every unit rise in heatwave intensity — depressin risk increases by 13% and anxiety 12%.
Obviusly, these psychlgical impacts affect vulnerable grups t different extent. Rural (农村的) students face twice the mental health burdens cmpared t urban (城市的) peers, likely due t limited cling resurces and utdr expsure. Equally striking is the gender difference; heat-expsed bys shw 22% higher anxiety risk, while girls exhibit n significant effect. This finding is ppsite t the general trend in mental health research, where girls are ften fund t be mre likely t reprt symptms like anxiety and depressin.
The team identified these risks thrugh standardized screenings. Rughly 19% f participants met depressin criteria and 16% anxiety criteria after strict data cleaning. Heat expsure was rated using three different definitins f heatwaves. The majr ne was the Excess Heat Factr, which cnsiders bth shrt-term temperature increase and lng-term trends, allwing fr a mre detailed understanding f heatwave intensity and the adaptatin t the climate. The ther tw fcused n the frequency f days with maximum r minimum temperatures.
T address these prblems, prfessr Yizhen Yu, lead researcher frm Huazhng University f Science and Technlgy, presents slutins: adding cling facilities in rural schls, redesigning sprts prgrams fr bys during heatwaves, and develping breathable unifrms. Hwever, limitatins exist — self-reprted symptms and inability t track individual cping behavirs (应对行为) require lng-term fllw-up.
“My gal is t explre hw varius climatic factrs — nt just heatwaves, but als ther climate extremes — affect the mental health and behaviral develpment f teenagers in China and beynd,” Yu explained, “Climate change isn’t just an envirnmental crisis; it’s a mental health crisis unflding amng ur yuth. Prtecting them demands actin acrss educatin, healthcare, and climate plicy sectrs.”
12. Why are the numbers mentined in paragraph 1?
A. T present an issue.B. T intrduce a tpic.
C. T supprt a finding.D. T make a cmparisn.
13. Wh are mst influenced by heatwaves accrding t the new research?
A. Urban bys.B. Rural bys.C. Urban girls.D. Rural girls.
14. What cntributes t a better understanding f heatwave intensity?
A. The standardized screenings.B. The Excess Heat Factr.
C. Fcusing n extreme temperatures.D. Predicting the trend f climate change.
15. What d the last tw paragraphs imply?
A. Bys shuld avid sprts prgrams during heatwaves.
B. Prfessr Yu manages t track individual cping behavirs.
C. Climate factrs lead t behaviral develpment f teenagers.
D. Jint effrts are needed t slve heatwave-related prblems.

“Hi,” she said, “Why aren’t yu tw in bed?”
“We’re making a village!” said Indi. “It’s beautiful,” said my mm, “But it’s very late, s let’s g t brush yur teeth! Oh, Jack, wuld yu please put everything away?” “N fair,” I thught as I squashed (压制) dwn my feelings.
