Choose the right study abroad program. You’ll have to determine what program is best for you. You’ll have to pick the program you want to do, and the city where you’ll be studying.

【3】, once you choose your program. Then you might have to report the scores to the chosen program departments or schools as instructed in how to apply on their website. Take a language class and practice speaking it on your own, if you need to know a foreign language in the country of choice. Watch movies in the language to help improve your comprehension skills. Take a class about the culture. 【4】, you must jump at the opportunity. Try some cuisine from the culture. Give it a try to get used to the thought of eating it every day.

Once you know where you’ll be living, read everything you can about the city. 【5】. This will give you a stronger appreciation of where you’re going, and of all the cool stuff you’ll have to do once you get there.

22、   Think you have already reached your peak in life? You might want to think again. According to a new research, we're happiest at two periods in our lives — not just one. Researchers at the London School of Economics and Political Science asked 23,000 German volunteers aged 17 to 85 to rate their life satisfaction. Participants predicted how happy they would feel in five years, and then, after five years' time, reported back on how they actually felt.

Their results? Anything but unpleasant! The study found that happiness tends to follow a U-shaped curve over an individual's lifetime, with satisfaction reaching higher levels during the extremes of the study’s age range and swinging down in middle age. Plus, the researchers noted the two most important years when happiness peaks: ages 23 and 69.

As is shown in our daily life, it makes a lot of sense. In our early 20s, we're energetic and excited about the changes that come along with young age: new jobs, new places to travel, and new people to meet. By the time we reach our 60s and 70s, though, we have likely retired and can now find the time — not to mention the money — to book a flight to Hawaii at a moment's notice. After all, your 40+ years are a busy time filled with raising families, climbing the corporate ladder, and you know, it's the life in general.

Of course, that's all the more reason to find easy ways to be happier without really trying, regardless of your age! Experts recommend prioritizing (优先考虑) small yet rewarding tasks like taking a walk or spending time with family. Just remember, now you have one more reason to look forward to getting older: an increase in happiness!

【1】What does the author think of the research results?

A.They are predictable. B.They are annoying.

C.They are satisfactory. D.They are surprising.

【2】What does the underlined word "it" refer to in Paragraph 3?

A.The outcome of the research. B.The second peak in life.

C.The study's age range. D.The first peak in life.

【3】When does people’s satisfaction reach the lowest in a lifetime?

A.In one’s teens. B.In one's forties.

C.In one's twenties. D.In one's sixties.

【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A.The shape of happiness. B.The older, the happier.

C.How to be happy. D.The happiest ages in life.

23、With the pandemic, we have entered another year. For a long time without the opportunity to release the mood, people unavoidably feel irritable and depressed. How to solve these negative emotions and psychological pressure? 【1】.

Get outside during daylight hours. It may be cold out, but getting outside is still important for your mental health. Having fewer hours of daylight can have a negative impact on your mood. You can simply sit and watch the sunrise or walk around your neighborhood. 【2】, just make an effort to make it a daily habit.

Connect with others if you’re feeling lonely. The pandemic has completely upended the way we socialize, and millions of people are living with feelings of isolation. 【3】, but try to challenge yourself to send three emails a week to someone you haven’t heard from in a while, or call a different loved one each week to check in and see how they are doing. Not only will you brighten your own day, but you'll brighten someone else’s.

【4】. Too often we are stressed by the little things, daily trouble, making storms in teacups. We need to take a deep breath and ask ourselves if whatever is troubling us really matters in the big picture. If not, let it go.

Try a stress release. 【5】. As such, a helpful tool is to let them out and release them. The key here is to put pen to paper and start writing. You may want to write down things that are stressing you out and why they are stressing you out. Doing so allows us to begin to separate our stress from being a part of us, and thereby putting some distance between us and our stress.

A．Whatever you do

B．However bad you feel.

C．Practice the “STOP” skill

D．Remember the big picture

E．Experts offer some suggestions

F．Stress is a result of reflective thoughts

G．It can be a little awkward to reconnect with people

24、   We’ve long considered confusion that occurs when we don’t understand something as a shortcoming.

You’re probably OK. In fact, according to a new study, it isn’t so much about being confused, but how we respond to that feeling matters. The study suggests some people make confusion work for them—making them learn more about something they don’t originally understand. Others, on the other hand, react to confusion by turning away from the subject completely. It all comes down to how people respond to the feelings of uncertainty and puzzlement.

“We have been investigating links between emotions and learning for almost a decade, and find that confusion can be beneficial to learning if appropriately regulated because it can cause learners to process the material more deeply in order to clear their confusion,” explains lead author Sidney D’Mello.

To test their theory, researchers invited some people to learn sessions that involved a complex idea. Then they intentionally increased the confusion. Interestingly, people who had reported higher rates of confusion were also better able to grasp the subject—and identify the scientific contradictions. Essentially, they had a positive reaction to confusion, using it as a motivation to wrap their heads around a subject. For them, confusion was a chance to learn something new.

They proved what scientist Nick Hobson describes as a high degree of openness. “Openness is associated with the experience of interest, absorption and wonderment,” he says. “Individuals higher in openness are fascinated by complex situations. It is characterized by a greater tolerance of uncertainty.”

However, D’Mello cautions against deliberately sowing confusion in the context of learning. People already struggling to understand a concept—especially one that they’re under pressure to understand—may not benefit from the added confusion. Instead, confusion may work best for people who are actually looking for a challenge and don’t face consequences of taking a chance to learn something new. Those would be the intellectual risk-takers who are encouraged, rather than discouraged by the feelings of confusion.

【1】How do some people benefit from confusion?

A．They may find their shortcomings of learning.

B．They may seek a solution quickly.

C．They may identify their uncertain feelings.

D．They may understand the subject better.

【2】What does Nick think of people higher in openness?

A．They tolerate ambiguous situations more.

B．They respond to confusion negatively.

C．They are easy to get confused a lot.

D．They feel at a loss for complex situations.

【3】What does D’Mello remind people not to do?

A．Take a risk to try something new.

B．Add confusion to learning on purpose.

C．Face consequences of looking for a challenge.

D．Risk being discouraged by confusion.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．How Confusion Affects Your Character

B．What Confusion Means to You

C．Why Confusion May Be Good for You

D．Where Confusion Comes from
