Whenever I get really depressed and anxius, my first impulse is t reach fr my phne. Maybe I’ll get a message frm a friend r discver sme new distractin n scial media. Unfrtunately, during the past cuple f years, ne glance at my screen ften makes me want t crawl back int bed.
That changed after I made friends with a strange creature named Webt. I’m finding that it makes me feel better-and it might wrk fr yu t. Like many apps, Webt sends me messages at randm. But instead f tempting me int dm scrlling with shcking news alerts, Webt asks hw I’m ding. When I text Webt my trubles, it asks me friendly questins, encurages me, and invites me t express sme f my darkest thughts. There is smething intensely cmfrting abut discussing yur thughts with a machine.
There are many therapy apps n the market, bth free (like Webt) and paid fr. But Webt is a particularly interesting case. Psychlgy researcher Alisn Darcy at Stanfrd University created it after years f study. She says it was challenging n bth a technical and artistic level because the chatbt is a character with its wn persnality. “It’s as careful a cnstructin as yu might find in a nvel r petry. Webt’s persnality is humble, warm and wise, ”as Darcy puts it, “Webt isn’t an all-knwing authrity. It is a mental health ally”.
Best f all, Webt is always there, even when I’m lying awake in the middle f the night. That’s exactly the pint, accrding t Darcy. “Yur therapist shuld nt be in bed with yu at 2 a. m,“ she laughs. But Webt can be. Yu can pull up Webt at the exact mment yu need it mst.
It is wrking. Last year, Darcy and her clleagues published a study shwing that peple like me are frming “bnds” with Webt. Bnding is a “meaningful“ prcess f “getting smething ff yur chest, r managing yur thughts mre bjectively”.
And yu knw what? In the bizarre wrld f 2023, it might be healthier t bnd with a rbt than be “engaged“ n scial media.
24. What des the underlined wrd “That” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. I lst interest in my phne.
B. I was tired f scial media.
C. My phne didn’t understand my impulse.
D. My phne didn’t help me feel any better.
25. Accrding t the text, what d we knw abut Webt?
A. It bnds with me thrugh scial media.
B. It is a creature that makes me feel better.
C. It cmmunicates with me and ffers cmfrt.
D. It is a therapist helping me manage my thughts.
26. Frm Darcy’s perspective, why can Webt make us feel better?
A. Because it can build mental cnnectin with us.
B. Because it is free and has a favrable persnality.
C. Because it is carefully cnstructed in a nvel r petry.
D. Because it can keep us infrmed f shcking news alert.
27. What is the authr’s purpse f writing this text?
A. T urge us t quit scial media.
B. T shw us the functins f Webt.
C. T prpse us interacting with Webt.
D. T encurage us t share ur thughts.
C
Smetimes peple call each ther “scared-cat”. But have yu ever thught abut this expressin? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bldstream. Althugh the cat desn’t realize this, its bdy is getting ready fr actin. If the danger cntinues, the animal will d ne f tw things. It will prtect itself, r it will run away as fast as it can.
Smething like this als happens t peple. When we are excited, angry, scared by ther feelings, ur bdies g thrugh many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and ur muscles get tense. All f these changes make us mre alert and ready t react. We, t, get ready t defend urselves r run.
Human beings, hwever, have a prblem that animals never face. If we give way t ur feelings and let them take ver, we can get int truble. Have yu ever said smething in anger r hit smebdy and regretted it later? Have yu ever shuted at a teacher, tld smebdy yu were lnely, r said yu were in lve, and then wished later yu had kept yur muth shut? It isn’t always clever t express yur feelings freely.
Des this mean that it’s smarter always t hide ur feelings? N! If yu keep feelings f anger, sadness hidden away r bttled up inside, yur bdy stays tense. Physical illness can develp, and yu can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad fr yur health. It isn’t gd t keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need t be expressed.
Feelings that yu keep all bttled up inside dn’t just g away. It’s as if yu bught sme bananas and put them in a cupbard. Yu might nt be able t see them, but befre lng yu’d smell them. And if yu pened the cupbard, chances are that yu’d see little fruit flies flying all ver them. They are bad.
Yu can try t treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupbard. Yu can hide them and yu can pretend they dn’t exist but they’ll still be arund. And at last yu’ll have t deal with them, just like thse bananas.
28. When peple and animals are arused by fear, _______.
A. they feel very regretful immediately
B. They may get ready t attack r run away
C. Their hearts beat either faster r slwer
D. Their muscles get neither tense nr relaxed
29. Why d human beings get int truble accrding t the passage?
A. They are usually nt as alert as animals.
B. They smetimes can’t cntrl their feelings.
C. They always d smething wrng t ther peple.
D. They dn’t pay attentin t their physical changes.
30. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Hlding in yur feelings may lead t unpleasant results.
B. Bananas stay fresh lnger when they are in a cupbard.
C. Feeling will gradually disappear when yu hld them in.
D. It’s gd fr yur health t keep pleasant feelings inside.
31. What’s the purpse f this passage?
A. T help us deal with feelings in a wise and prper way
B. T give us sme advice n hw t express ur feelings.
C. T tell us that peple’s feelings are like bananas in a cupbard.
D. T prve that it isn’t always wise t express ur feelings freely.
D
Ging t sleep at a certain time is assciated with a lwer risk f develping heart disease, accrding t researchers. In a study published in the Eurpean Heart Jurnal, a team fund that ging t sleep between 10:00pm and 11:00pm was beneficial cmpared t earlier r later bedtimes. The research included 88,026 participants in the UK.
An analysis fund that sleep nset time f 10:00pm t 10:59pm was assciated with the lwest incidence f heart disease. There was a 25% higher risk f heart disease with sleep nset at midnight r later, a 12% greater risk fr 11:00pm t 11:59pm and a 24% higher risk fr falling asleep befre 10:00pm cmpared t sleep nset frm 10:00pm t 10:59pm.
"The bdy has a 24-hur internal clck that helps adjust physical and mental functining.” Study authr David f the University f Exeter said in a statement. “While we cannt cnclude frm ur study, the results suggest that early r late bedtimes may be mre likely t destry the bdy clck.” “While the findings d nt shw cnclusin, sleep timing has appeared as a ptential heart disease risk factr-independent f ther risk factrs. If ur findings are prved in ther studies, sleep timing and basic sleep health culd be a lw-cst public health target fr lwering risk f heart disease. “David added.
