22、Parents sometimes struggle to find a balance between encouraging an adolescent to achieve without pushing too hard. Pushing a child too much could feed perfectionist tendencies, which can have a serious effect on mental health. Perfectionists are motivated by a fear of failure and reach for high goals in an effort to prove their worth to others. 【1】. This tendency can be found at the root of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders.
Parents can help temper (缓和) perfectionist tendencies by bringing “perfectionist thinking” out into the open, helping an adolescent regain perspective and learn to accept their limitations. Here are some ways parents can start that important conversation at home:
Build awareness: Perfectionist thinking takes root in childhood. Evidence suggests just raising awareness about perfectionism — what it looks like in action and its potential costs — can help to lessen its hold. 【2】. As in not everything has to be pursued at the highest level all the time.
Normalize suffering: Young people need to hear that it is typical and normal to feel suffering from time to time, and that negative emotions are a normal part of life and not a sign of personal fault. Saying “That sounds really hard” or “【3】.” can help to normalize them and allow a child to feel less alone.
Encourage self-compassion (自我同情) and self-forgiveness: Practicing self-compassion can protect against perfectionist tendencies. Help your child find a go-to line they can say to themselves to drown out the critical voice in their heads, as in: 【4】. Forgiving yourself for being human doesn’t mean ignoring failures. It means widening your perspective, aiming to do better but without suffering additional and unhelpful criticism.
【5】: A large part of the harm of perfectionism comes from our reactions to it. When experiencing a personal setback, a parent can model healthy coping out loud, as in, “It’s time to stop beating myself up. Everyone makes mistakes.” Modeling for your children how you cope with mistakes and failures is critical to fostering healthy coping skills in them.
A.Stop perfectionism
B.Model healthy coping
C.I can understand how you feel
D.At its worst, perfectionism acts as a trap
E.That’s okay, Jamie, you’re doing your best
F.Mounting evidence shows how destructive perfectionism can be
G.One way to do this is to introduce the concept of “good enough”
23、 While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.
Why isn’t complaining beneficial? Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity.
【1】 This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information in a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. 【2】
【3】 A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus (海马体), which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.
In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone: cortisol (皮质醇), a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity (免疫力).
The ill effects of our complaining aren’t merely limited to ourselves: 【4】 We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.
The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude. 【5】 Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well-being.
A.Yet the harmful effects don’t stop there.
B.Our brain is designed to work efficiently.
C.they affect the working atmosphere as well.
D.they are likely to involve those around us, too.
E.This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.
F.Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine.
G.Have you noticed that grateful people tend to enjoy others’ company?
24、 In previous recessions (经济衰退), billionaires were hit along with the rest of us; it took almost three years for Forbes’s 400 richest people to recover from losses caused in 2008’s Great Recession. But in the coronavirus recession of 2020, most billionaires have gotten richer than ever before.
Billionaires increased their new billions just as millions of other Americans ran into terrible financial problems. More than 20 million people lost their jobs at the start of the pandemic. Food banks across the country are preparing for another great increase in demand. Why are American billionaires doing so well while so many other Americans suffer? People may find part of the reasons from the following fact. Stocks (股票) are overwhelmingly owned by the wealthy, and the stock market has recovered from its early-pandemic depths much more quickly than other parts of the economy.
But some billionaires are also benefiting from economic and technological trends that were accelerated by the pandemic. Among these are the owners and investors of retail giants like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Dollar Tree and Dollar General, which have reported huge profits this year while many of their smaller competitors were defeated completely as the coronavirus spread.
Then there are companies that have bet on the rapid digitization of everything Eric Yuan, the chief executive of Zoom, became a billionaire in 2019. Now he is worth almost $20 billion. Dan Gilbert, the chairman of Quicken Loans, was worth less than $7 billion in March, now he commands more than $43 billion. But there is a great deal of stratification (层化) even among billionaires—richer billionaires got even richer in 2020 than the poorer ones did. Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s funder, was worth about $113 billion at the start of the pandemic. Now he is worth $182 billion. Two years ago, Bezos was the only “centibillionaire” on earth—the trendy neologism (a new word) for people whose wealth exceeds (超过) ¥100 billion.
【1】What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?
A.Food banks are not enough in the United States.
B.The richest kept getting richer even in the pandemic.
C.The stock market recovered before the pandemic started.
D.400 richest people recovered from losses in the pandemic.
【2】What is “part of the reasons” that is implied in Paragraph 2?
A.The American inequality.
B.The recovery of stock market.
C.The effect of the pandemic.
D.The food shortage across the country.
【3】What is one of the changes during the pandemic?
A.The decline of digital games.
B.More money lent to people by banks.
C.The trend of technology acceleration.
D.High profit earned by smaller companies.
【4】Why does the author refer to “centibillionaire” as a “neologism”?
A.It is a new title in the stock market after the recession.
B.It is a new way of solution to poverty through the world.
C.It is a newly established company during the pandemic.
D.It is a new term for people whose wealth exceeds $100 billion.
