But, we also know that resistance is important if were ever going to find a workable middle ground with our phones an

9、d a recent has served up another reason to strengthen our resolve.Here it is:when you pick up your phone while doing anything mentally challenging, youre handicapping your brains ability to recharge and performance predictably decreases.Thats the conclusion of a study that put roughly 400 college st

10、udents to task solving challenging word puzzles. When they were about halfway through, the researchers allowed most of the students to take a break either using their phones, using a computer or reading a print circular. Other students were told to just keep on working without any sort of break.The

11、results showed that the students who took a break with their phones were the worst performers of all the groups. They took 19% longer to finish the tasks and they solved 22% fewer word-problems than all the other groups combined. In fact, the cell-phone groups efficiency and processing speed was abo

12、ut the same as the group that took no break. The reason offered by the researchers isnt merely because digital devices are inherently engaging(迷人的), but becauseour smartphones are attention gates into so many other attention-catching areas, each pulling our mental energy in different directions.This

13、 research stresses that we ignored the energy reduction from using our smartphones, and that we were over-confident about what our brains can handle.We also overlooked the emotional connection wed developed with our phones.Its no longer just a device. Its a companion.“It is important to know the cos

14、ts associated with reaching for this device during every spare minute,” Kurtzberg added. “We assume its no different from any other break but the phone may carry increasing levels of distraction that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks.”1.What does “resolve” in Paragraph 1 re

In fact, many people who experience a low moo

18、d and a loss of pleasure in activities manage to hide their condition in this way. And these people might be particularly easy to suicide.While smiling depression is not a technical term that psychologists use,it is certain to be depressed and manage to successfully mask the symptoms. The closest te

19、chnical term for this condition is “atypical depression”. It can be very hard to spot people suffering depression because they may seem like they dont have a reason to be sad they have a job, an apartment and maybe even children or a partner. They smile when you greet them and can carry pleasant con

20、versations. In short, they often put on a mask to the outside world while leading seemingly normal and active lives. Inside, however, they often feel hopeless and down, sometimes even having thoughts about ending it all.People with smiling depression put on a happy face to the outside world, but the

21、y can experience a lift in their mood as a result of positive occurrences in their lives. Other symptoms of this condition include overeating, feeling a sense of heaviness in the arms and legs and being easily hurt by criticism or rejection. They are also more likely to feel depressed in the evening

22、 and feel the need to sleep longer than usual. With other forms of depression, however, your mood might be worse in the morning and you might feel the need for less sleep than you are normally used to.So how can they break this circle? A starting point needs to be known that this condition actually

23、exists and that its serious. Only when we stop ignoring our problems because we think theyre not serious enough can we start making an actual difference. Then we can find purpose by taking the attention away from ourselves and placing it onto something else. Feeling that our lives matter is finally

24、what gives us purpose and meaning and this can make a significant difference for our mental health and well-being.1.What do we know about people suffering smiling depression?A.They are wearing masks all day.B.They are difficult to get along with.C.They lead an abnormal life actually.D.Most of them c

27、l that made me anxious, it was science. Maybe thats because in my tenth grade, I couldnt understand my physics teachers instructions, causing me to accidentally set fire to the classroom. So, when my husband and I decided to home-school our daughters, we made a deal: he would teach science, while I

28、would handle everything else. But thats not how things have been going these past few weeks, since my husband has been too busy to teach the girls.Recently, while out on my morning hike before starting lessons, I noticed that the sky was a beautiful blue, and the air was filled with the sweet smell

30、any visitors. My daughter Saoirse started to pick up pond weeds and catch frogs, while my other daughter Ula looked at me, waiting to be instructed.

31、.”We worked for more than an hour, hardly speaking. A bird flew across the water, and then settled in front of a fallen tree. I quickly told Ula, worried that shed not seen the creature. But she had, and she started drawing it. An hour later, she finished her picture and I stared down at it. She dre

32、w the bird on her paper with amazing accuracy. But there was one other interesting fact about this drawing: she also drew me, sitting beside her.I realized, as I stared at this childs drawing of us watching a bird, how Id lived for 40 years, gathered 10 years of higher education, and never understoo

38、stop caring about what others are doing and instead focus on having fun. _3.Exploring your capability(能力) _ It brings the best out of you. As a shy person, I feel a sense of pride when I make friends with complete strangers or talk in broken foreign languages. Travelling has truly changed me in the

39、best way. Now, whatever happens, Im capable of meeting the challenge!4.Patience I have never taken a vacation where nothing goes wrong. I ever lost my luggage, got hopelessly confused with directions, and waited 5 hours on a train that broke down on mid journey. _ Unexpected things can happen at any
