The bus screamed t a stp in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers barded and struck up a cnversatin with me. They asked typical travelers’ questins — where was I ging and why was I traveling alne? My plan was t travel with a friend f a friend, I explained, but when I called her that mrning, she didn’t pick up and I had n ther way t reach her. My stmach was in knts, but I decided t head ut anyway, thinking I might run int her if I traveled t Tiberius, where we had planned t g tgether.
“Why dn’t yu travel with us?” ne f the backpackers ffered. They were seasned travelers wh wuld wrk fr a few mnths, save, and then travel fr as lng as they culd. Their current plan was t explre the Middle East and Eurpe in three mnths while wrking in Lndn.
It seemed risky t travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. Fr the next tw weeks, I explred Israel with the backpackers and learned t trust my instincts in all types f new and interesting situatins. When they hked a ride, I tk the bus instead, but when they wanted t steal int the King David Htel’s swimming pl, I led the way. The wrld pened up t me because I chse t travel alne. I jined cmplete strangers, wh became clse friends. Years later, ne cuple frm the backpacking grup even flew frm Sydney t Phenix t be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me cnfidence in all areas f my life. Since then, I’ve backpacked alne acrss Suth Africa, sky-dived frm 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even mved acrss the U.S. with n jb lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped int the wman I was suppsed t meet. Thugh I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn’t picked up the phne.

The human mind is astnishing. We can slve cmplex prblems, perfrm calculatins, create art, and prcess language effrtlessly. We humans are the smartest f all, r s we think…
Hwever, recent studies reveal hw easily cntext can mislead us. Cnsider the Müller-Lyer illusin (错觉): equal-length lines lk different if ne has utward-pinting arrws and the ther has inward-pinting arrws. Similarly, three identical-sized runners psitined alng a visual path seem t vary in size.
Befre yu cnclude that being fled is reserved nly fr visual illusins, let me give the example f Belinda: an utspken philsphy student, deeply cncerned with sustainability, bidiversity, and glbal warming. Is Belinda mre likely: a) a tp student, r b) a tp student and vegetarian? Many peple chse the secnd, because the cntext f being vegetarian seems t fit the image f smene deeply cncerned with sustainability. But statistically, the first is mre likely. There are always mre tp students than vegetarian tp students.
Yet fr all its ptential t trick, cntext mre ften serves as ur mental shrtcut t efficient understanding. Rather than memrizing every pssible meaning f wrds and sentence patterns, we cnstantly use surrunding infrmatin t fill gaps. As linguist J. R. Firth bserved, “Yu shall knw a wrd by the cmpany it keeps.” Fr example, in the sentence “My daughter was ferliamated when she gt a pet dg,” we can guess that “ferliamated” means “excited”, even if the wrd desn’t exist.
This tw-sided nature f cntext leads us t an imprtant discvery abut hw ur minds wrk. While we can discuss anything at any time in any cntext, it seems mre likely that we talk abut the things whse meaning lies in the same cntext. This ffers exciting pssibilities fr understanding bth the human mind and language itself-shwing hw cmmunicatin depends nt just n ur thinking, but equally n hw language is built t wrk with cntext.
6.Which image matches the descriptin f the “runners” illusin?
A. B.
C. D.
7.Why d peple ften chse ptin (b) in the Belinda example?
A. Persnalities affect decisin-making.
B. Extra details disturb their lgical thinking.
C. Tp students ften make better chices.
D. Persnal experiences lead t their false judgment.
8.Hw d Firth’s qute and the “ferliamated” example supprt the authr’s pint?
A. They prve that wrds can have randm meanings.
B. They explain why memrizing wrds isn’t a shrtcut.
C. They demnstrate what dictinaries can’t really clarify.
D. They shw hw cntext cntributes t wrd understanding.
9.Which f the fllwing best summarizes the authr’s view n cntext?
A. Cntext is generally harmful t lgical thinking.
B. Cntext is useless in understanding new wrds.
C. Cntext can bth mislead and aid understanding.
D. Cntext shuld be avided in serius discussins.
10.What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. The value f the research int cntext.
B. The cmplex nature f cntext.
C. The tpics discussed within the same cntext.
D. The link between cntext and mind.

In a recent article, Markham Heid shares with us an unusual life crisis. At 41, he has built what many wuld regard as the gd life: he has a family; he is healthy, prductive, and creative; he has time t travel, read, exercise, and see friends. Yet, he feels that “smething is ff.” T fight against this feeling, sme f his friends have turned t special retreats, while thers try t slve it thrugh fitness. What makes Heid’s prblem smewhat dd is that it des nt seem t arise frm anything specific. If he had lst his jb, had n time fr himself, r was struggling in his marriage, the feeling wuld be understandable.
In the histry f philsphy, there have been many attempts t understand such a pwerful but bjectless feeling. Bredm, anxiety, depressin and despair are sme f the descriptins this md has received. Heid ends up attributing his crisis t the lack f new experiences. The Danish philspher Sren Kierkegaard calls this the “illusin f crp rtatin”, the idea that changing the envirnment frequently can save us frm this md. The German philspher Martin Heidegger als describes a similar state: ne may still be surrunded by the same peple and activities, but these n lnger engage us as they used t. He calls it a kind f “anxiety” created by nthing in particular. N wnder the psychlgist Sigmund Freud nce described anxiety as a “riddle.”
But what really drives this md is nt the need fr new experiences. It is nt even the particulars f ur individual lives r the cultures we belng t, but that we have been given a life t live in the first place, the taste f pssibility that cmes with being alive. This md is nt due t dubts like “D I have enugh hbbies?” r “Have I achieved my gal?” It is related t the mre fundamental questins like “What des it mean t be human?”“ What am I suppsed t d with the fact that I was given a life?” and “What kind f life is pssible fr me?” This is why this md is likely t appear frequently in ur life. This is why nce many f ur life gals are fulfilled, we begin t wnder what life itself is fr.
These questins never have a final answer and they can always leave us with a great sense f agny abut wh we are and hw we shuld g n. Nevertheless, recgnizing that these dubts are there, and that they matter, can at least allw us t knw what may be missing, even when everything is gd.
11.Which f the fllwing can best describe Markham Heid’s crisis?
A. It results frm a need fr change.
B. It is caused by uncertainties in life.
C. It is a cnfusin abut life’s meaning.
D. It leads t discnnectin frm family and friends.
12.The phrase “illusin f crp rtatin” in paragraph 2 implies that________
A. peple must stay active t keep life interesting
B. ur emtins depend mainly n external circumstances
C. new experiences can permanently renew ur sense f meaning
D. changing surrundings cannt truly free us frm inner emptiness
13.What des the authr say is the real cause f this md?
A. Particulars f ur individual lives r the cultures we belng t.
B. Wndering what life itself is fr nce ur life gals are fulfilled.
C. The awareness f being given a life t live and the pssibilities.
D. Dubts abut whether ne has enugh hbbies r has achieved persnal gals.
14.Accrding t the authr, hw can the crisis in the passage be dealt with?
A. By studying philsphy.
B. By develping new hbbies.
C. By ging travelling frequently.
D. By embracing the bjectless feeling.
15.Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. What leads t a Life CrisisB. Bredm Makes Us Human
C. Hw t Fix a Mid-life CrisisD. Anxiety Gives Us Life Gals
