Ⅲ.阅读表达【主题:人与自我 如何缓解精神内耗】(2024·唐山二模改编)
A large number of young people are influenced by all kinds of choices today.This can be a good thing,but it can also lead some young people to experience “mental internal friction(精神内耗)”.
Experts regard “mental internal friction” as the confusion(混乱) that happens when people have to change their thoughts in order to move from“old ideas” to “new ideas”.They have to ask themselves such questions as “Are the new ideas good ” or “Do they fit me ”. It is certainly not easy to discover the answers to these questions,especially when you’re still too young to have enough life experience to make proper decisions.
But don’t be disappointed—there are some suggestions that can help you reduce your “mental internal friction”.First,be consistent(始终如一的) with yourself.To this end,you will always need to check yourself.As the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle put it,“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom”.You have to honestly think about your own personal habits,and even fears and worries.Second,develop new interests.A friend of mine decided to learn about Beijing Opera.He said that learning about “old things” made it easier for him to deal with the “new things” in modern life.And the third thing you can do is to spend time with nature.Being with nature helps you to know yourself and forget the stress of your “mental internal friction”.
1.When may people experience “mental internal friction” according to experts
2.What may happen when you don’t have enough life experience
3.What is the beginning of all wisdom according to Aristotle
4.Why did the writer’s friend like learning about “old things”
5.Do you enjoy being with nature Why or why not
Ⅳ.情景交际
[Wang Lei(A) is talking with his good friend Liu Mei(B).]
A:Hi,Liu Mei.Long time no see.1.
B:Pretty good.And you
A:I’m good,too.I’d like to celebrate my 15th birthday with some friends this Saturday.2.
B:Sure.That’s great!Fifteenth birthday!You are a year older now.
A:Yeah,from now on,I have to take responsibility for my actions.It’s really an important day in my life.
B:3.
A:I plan to celebrate it in my house and invite some friends to come over.I will buy some balloons to decorate my room and buy some drinks.
B:4. And what about doing something nice for your parents
A:Well,I don’t know what to do.Let me search for it on the Internet.
B:Haha,the Internet does not know everything.You can cook a meal for your parents.
A:OK!I will have a try.Thank you.
B:5.
