教学素材 | 情感之旅：我们经历的多种情绪

The Many Moods We Pass Through情感之旅：我们经历的多种情绪词汇：考研| 句法：四级| 文本：考研刘立军 供稿Often we overlook the fact that our emotions are as transient as the skies above, a truth seemingly etched in the cosmos since our creation. Our spirits are in a state of perpetual motion, mirroring the restless parade of weather systems across a fickle sky. 我们常常忽视一个事实：我们的情绪就像头顶的天空一样变幻无常，这一真相似乎自我们诞生之日起就被铭刻在宇宙之中。我们的精神处于不断变化的状态，就像变幻莫测的天空中不断变化的天气系统。Thus, permanence is an illusion: a peaceful, beautiful day will likely be succeeded by a gloomy one, a tranquil morning by a tempestuous afternoon, and a fierce storm by a calm sunset. 因此，永恒只是一种幻觉：平静美好的一天很可能会紧跟着阴郁的一天，宁静的早晨可能会紧跟着狂风暴雨的下午，猛烈的风暴可能会紧跟着平静的日落。We persistently seek stability, as if we were unyielding stone. We assert our beliefs, preferences, and desires as if they were unchangeable. Yet, life has a way of challenging these assertions with a headache, a sleepless night, digestive issues, a fleeting moment of joy, a surge of energy, or a pang of conscience, turning our world upside down. 我们不断地寻求稳定性，就好像我们是坚不可摧的石头一样。我们坚定地表达我们的信仰、喜好和愿望，就好像它们是不可改变的。然而，生活总是通过头痛、难眠之夜、消化问题、片刻欢愉、能量爆发或良心刺痛等方式来挑战这些说法，把我们的世界掀翻过来。We must move with more caution, quietly acknowledging the provisional nature of our convictions. This job seems to make perfect sense for now. I feel I’ve figured things out for now. This is who I am for now. Our emotional landscape can shift dramatically with minor fluctuations in our serotonin levels. 我们必须更加谨慎地行事，默默承认我们的信念其实是暂时的。这份工作看起来很合适，但只是现在。我觉得自己把事情都想清楚了，但只是现在。这就是我，但只是现在。我们的整个情绪状态可能会随着血清素水平的轻微波动而发生显著变化。There’s a humorous interplay between the body and the mind, a dance between our higher cognitive functions and our basic physiological needs. We might believe our views on politics or love, our judgments on literature or friendships, are founded on solid, unbiased ground. Yet, we often fail to recognize how much our convictions are influenced by the most basic of factors, such as sleep or blood sugar levels. We might solemnly declare life not worth living, only to realize later that what we needed was rest or a glass of orange juice. 身体和心灵之间存在着一种幽默的互动，就像是一场我们高级认知功能与基本生理需求之间的舞蹈。我们可能认为我们对政治或爱情的观点、对文学或友谊的判断是建立在坚实、无偏见的基础之上的。然而，我们往往没有意识到，我们的信念在多大程度上受到睡眠或血糖水平等最基本因素的影响。我们可能会庄严地宣布生活不值得继续过下去，但后来才意识到，我们所需要的可能只是一场休息或一杯橙汁。By keeping this in mind, we can be more compassionate and understanding towards those around us. Their midnight confessions of hatred or never wanting to see a loved one again might simply be a sign that it’s late, and a heavy meal at that hour was unwise. 记住这一点，我们对周围的人就更能共情，更能理解他们。他们深夜倾诉对某人的憎恨，或者再也不愿见到所爱之人等等，可能仅仅是因为夜深了，而在那个时候吃一顿油腻大餐是不明智的。Recognizing our emotional complexity is especially helpful during dark moments when our inner sky is devoid of hope. With experience, we learn that even if we can’t see a way out at the moment, if we patiently wait, something will eventually come to disperse the clouds of despair. And when we’re on the mountaintops of joy, unable to fathom why we ever felt sadness, we should remember that life’s seasons change, and autumn’s winds will come. 在我们的内心天空一片绝望的黑暗时刻，认识到情绪的复杂性尤其有帮助。凭借经验，我们了解到即使目前看不到出路，如果耐心等待，绝望的乌云终会被驱散。而当我们处于喜悦之巅，无法理解为何自己曾经感到悲伤时，应该记得，生活的季节总会变迁，秋风终将吹拂而来。We falter by prematurely etching our identity in stone, declaring “this is me and always will be.” But life is more like a series of weather events ― a heatwave, a squall, a shower, an Indian summer. We desire constancy, but we are more like air and water, gas and heat, currents and fronts. We should approach our beliefs with a healthy, amused skepticism, always ready with an umbrella for life’s unpredictable storms. 我们过早地将自己的身份刻板化，宣称“这就是我，永远都是”，从而踉跄前行。但生活更像是一系列气候变化——热浪、暴风雨、阵雨或是深秋的回暖天。我们渴望稳定，但我们更像是空气和水、气体和热量、洋流和气团。我们应该以一种健康、带一点幽默的怀疑态度来看待我们的信念，随时准备好一把伞，来应对生活中不可预测的风暴。【词汇】1. etch v. 雕刻，铭记2. fickle adj. 多变的，不稳定的3. permanence n. 永久，持久4. tempestuous adj. 暴风雨般的，动荡的5. fleeting adj. 短暂的，一闪而过的6. provisional adj. 临时的，暂时的7. serotonin n. 血清素（神经递质，亦影响情绪等）8. interplay n. 相互影响，相互作用9. devoid adj. 缺乏的，完全没有的10. fathom v. 理解，彻底明白11. falter v. 蹒跚，犹豫，畏缩不前12. squall n. 狂风暴雨，突然的一阵13.

教学素材 | 如何战胜对失败的恐惧

How to Break through Your Fear of Failure 如何战胜对失败的恐惧 词汇 | CET-4 | 句法CET-4 | 文本CET-6刘立军 供稿Failure is a normal part of life. Everyone experiences it, especially when stepping outside of their comfort zone. Despite being common, failure feels overwhelming because it is tied to negative emotions like shame and disappointment. However, the real issue may not be failure itself but the fear of failing. 失败是生活的一部分。每个人都会经历，尤其是在走出舒适区的时候。尽管失败很普遍，但它带来的负面情绪如羞耻和失望等等让人感到难以承受。然而，真正的问题可能不是失败本身，而是对失败的恐惧。Reframe Your Fear 重新定义你的恐惧 It’s important to ask yourself why you are afraid of failure. Are you worried about others’ opinions, losing a job, or not achieving your goals? Failure can damage your self-esteem and confidence, but it’s part of growth. Instead of seeing failure as an end, think of it as a learning opportunity. 重要的是要问自己为什么害怕失败。你是在担心别人的眼光，失去工作，还是无法实现自己的目标？失败可能会损害你的自尊和自信，但它同时也是成长的一部分。与其将失败视为终点，不如把它看作是一次学习的机会。For example, if you didn’t get a job you wanted, this setback could be a chance to improve your skills and find a better fit. If you miss a deadline, it can teach you to manage your time better. By analyzing what went wrong, you can turn failure into a stepping stone for success. 例如，如果你没有得到想要的工作，这次挫折可能是一个提升技能并找到更合适机会的契机。如果你错过了一个截止日期，这可以教会你更好地管理时间。通过分析是哪里出了问题，你可以把失败转变为通往成功的垫脚石。Changing your mindset is key. Rather than fearing failure, view it as part of the process of learning and improvement. This shift can make you stronger and more resilient. 改变心态是关键。不要害怕失败，而是把它视为学习和提升的一部分。这种心态的转变会让你变得更强大、更有韧性。Visualize Success 设想成功 Fear often leads to self-doubt and procrastination. To overcome this, train your mind to focus on positive thoughts. Replace negative thinking with positive affirmations. For instance, athletes use visualization techniques to improve performance. By mentally picturing success, they enhance their physical skills.恐惧常常会导致自我怀疑和拖延。为了克服这一点，要训练你的思维专注于积极的想法。用积极的肯定来代替消极的思考。例如，运动员使用视觉化技巧来提升自己的成绩。通过在脑海中描绘成功的场景，他们能够增强自己的运动技能。You can do the same. Try visualizing yourself achieving your goals. Be specific and use your senses to imagine success vividly. You can also create vision boards with images and words that represent your goals to keep you motivated. Visualizing your achievements can help you stay focused and reduce fear. 你也可以这样做。尝试想象自己达成目标时的情景。具体一些，用感官生动地想象成功时的各种细节。你还可以制作一个愿景板，上面贴满代表你目标的图片和文字，以保持动力。想象自己达成目标可以帮助你保持专注，减少恐惧。Surround Yourself with Supportive People 与支持你的人为伴 Having supportive friends and mentors is crucial in overcoming fear. Real friends offer encouragement and can help you stay motivated, even during tough times. They can also provide honest feedback, helping you navigate challenges and improve. 拥有支持你的朋友和导师对于克服恐惧至关重要。真正的朋友不仅会在你遇到困难时给予鼓励，帮助你保持进取心，还会提供真诚的反馈，帮你应对挑战并不断进步。Supportive relationships make failure less daunting. When others believe in you, it becomes easier to believe in yourself and keep going after setbacks. 支持性的关系使失败显得不那么可怕。当他人对你有信心时，你也会更容易相信自己，并在遭遇挫折后继续前进。Take Action 采取行动 Fear of failure can paralyze you, making it hard to take action. However, taking small steps helps build confidence and reduces fear. Start with manageable tasks, and as you achieve them, you’ll feel more capable. Focus on progress rather than perfection. Remember, failure is not the end ― it’s part of the journey toward success. 对失败的恐惧可能会让你停滞不前，难以采取行动。然而，通过一步步采取行动，你可以逐渐建立信心，减少恐惧。从容易处理的任务开始，随着你逐步完成它们，你会感觉自己更有能力。专注于进步而不是完美。记住，失败并不是终点，而是通向成功之旅的一部分。Taking action is key to breaking the cycle of fear. Every step forward helps you move closer to your goal, even if there are failures along the way. 行动是打破恐惧循环的关键。每前进一步，即使途中遇到失败，都会让你更接近目标。Learn from Failure 从失败中学习Failure is an opportunity to learn and improve. Instead of resisting failure, accept it as part of life’s ups and downs. Entrepreneur Malcolm Forbes said, “Failure is success if we learn from it.” Each failure teaches you valuable lessons that can guide better decisions in the future. 失败是学习和提升的机会。与其抗拒失败，不如接受它是生活起伏的一部分。企业家马尔科姆·福布斯说：“如果我们从失败中学习，那么失败就是成功。”每次失败都能教会我们宝贵的教训，指导我们在未来做出更好的决定。Life is not perfect, and neither is the path to success. Embracing failure with humility and courage will help you thrive. Celebrate your successes, but also appreciate the lessons that failure brings. 生活并不完美，成功之路也不尽然如此。以谦逊和勇气接受失败，这将帮助你茁壮成长。庆祝你的成功，但也要珍惜失败带来的教训。When you stop fearing failure, you open up a world of new possibilities. 当你不再害怕失败时，你将打开一个充满新的可能性的世界。【词汇】 1. mindset n. 心态2. resilient adj. 有韧性的；适应力强的3. procrastination n. 拖延症4. affirmation n. 确认，断言5. mentor n. 导师，指导者6. navigate v. 导航，航行；找到正确的方法7. daunting adj. 使人气馁的，使人畏缩的8. paralyze v. 使瘫痪，使麻痹9. humility n. 谦逊，虚心（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

TRANSCRIPTDevelopers of AI Methods Win Nobel Prize in PhysicsTwo early developers of artificial intelligence (AI) have won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics.American John Hopfield is with Princeton University in New Jersey. Geoffrey Hinton is a citizen of Canada and Britain who works at the University of Toronto.The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences honored them for helping “to develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning.”The 76-year-old Hinton is known as the Godfather of artificial intelligence for his part in developing machine learning. However, he also has warned that AI has created threats to humanity.Godfather n. 教父，创始人Ellen Moons is a member of the Nobel committee at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Moons said the two scientists “used fundamental concepts from statistical physics to design artificial neural networks that function as associative memories and find patterns in large data sets.”neural adj. 神经的，神经网络的Moons added that their research has been used to make progress in physics but has also become part of people’s daily lives. Technologies like facial recognition and language translation are used every day.(Q1) Hinton predicted that AI would have a “huge influence” on civilization and will bring improvements to productivity and health care. He told reporters and Royal Academy officials that, “It would be comparable to the Industrial Revolution.”The Industrial Revolution was a period of intensive development of machines and manufacturing that started more than 250 years ago in Britain.Hinton said, “Instead of exceeding people in physical strength, it’s going to exceed people in intellectual ability.” (Q2) But Hinton also expressed concern about the possible bad results of AI, especially noting, in his words, “the threat of these things getting out of control.”The Nobel committee also recognized the possible damage the discoveries that it was honoring could cause. (Q3) Moons said AI’s “development has also raised concerns about our future. Collectively, humans carry the responsibility for using this new technology in a safe and ethical way for the greatest benefit of humankind.”ethical adj. 伦理的，道德的What they didIn the 1980s, Hinton helped to develop a method known as backpropagation, which is used to “train” computers to learn.Later, he headed a team at the University of Toronto that won the ImageNet computer competition in 2012 for designing a “neural network.”Hinton and AI scientists Yoshua Bengio and Yann LeCun won the Turing Award in 2019. It is the top award in computer science. That year, Hinton told the Associated Press about the reaction he and his fellow researchers received over their work.They thought “we were very misguided and what we were doing was a very surprising thing for apparently intelligent people to waste their time on. My message to young researchers is, don’t be put off if everyone tells you what you are doing is silly."be put off 失去兴趣或感到厌烦Hopfield is now 91 years old. (Q4) The Nobel committee said he “invented a network that uses a method for saving and recreating patterns.”Hinton used Hopfield’s network to create a new network using a different method known as the Boltzmann machine. The committee said this “machine” can learn to recognize elements in a particular kind of data.“What fascinates me most is still this question of how mind comes from machine,” Hopfield said in a video posted online by the Franklin Institute after it awarded him a physics prize in 2019.The Nobel Prize in Physics is valued at $1 million. Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel created the prizes to honor discoveries that help humanity. The first prizes were awarded in 1901.On Wednesday, the prize in chemistry will be announced; on Thursday, the prize for literature; and Friday, the peace prize. The Nobel for economics will be announced on Monday.The winners receive their prizes in ceremonies held on December 10.Part III. KEYQ1.

TRANSCRIPTWhat Is ‘Cozy Cardio?’A new kind of exercise idea is becoming popular in the United States. (Q1) Social media is bringing attention to “cozy cardio”. It means doing light cardiovascular exercise at home. cardio n. 有氧运动cardiovascular adj. 心血管的Physical inactivity and “cozy cardio” Physical inactivity is a problem in the United States. (Q2) The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says 25 percent of Americans reported they had not done any physical activity in the past month. The CDC says that one in two American adults do not get enough cardiovascular exercise. Inactivity can have serious health effects. So, many Americans are looking to develop a new exercise habit.Cozy cardio“Cozy cardio” has gained popularity as an easy and painless way to increase physical activity levels. (Q3) This method of calorie burning has gained popularity on TikTok and Instagram ever since a woman named Hope Zuckerbrow began posting videos in late 2022. Cozy cardio involves walking in place by using a small treadmill or “walking pad”. No gym payments are involved. “I get so many messages from men and women - so many people - saying something along the lines of ‘thank you so much for...flipping my mindset on what I thought exercise is supposed to be,’” Zuckerbrow said. “This feels so doable.”mindset n. 观念模式；思维倾向Building the habitSupporters say what is important about “cozy cardio” is the setup. You wear comfortable clothes and organize your environment to your liking. You can light candles, have a healthy drink, or even put on a favorite TV show or movie. Alex Montoye of Alma College said, for some people, easy exercise such as “cozy cardio” could help them develop an exercise habit. (Q4) Montoye said for people who would otherwise watch TV while sitting, walking can help them make progress. That is especially true if exercise becomes a habit. People struggle to make healthy habits last over time. That is why cozy exercise is such a good idea, said Catherine Sanderson of Amherst College in Massachusetts. She wrote the health book, The Positive Shift: Mastering Mindset to Improve Happiness, Health, and Longevity. “It fits in with a lot of what we know about how to get people to actually maintain behavior change”, Sanderson said. Along with removing the barriers to exercise, she said, “It very much relies on what psychologists would call positive reinforcement - the idea of, ‘It’s not just that I'm exercising...I’m tapping into something I want to be doing already.” As cozy cardio becomes more popular, Zuckerbrow said she hears from people who did not realize they could enjoy easy exercise. Alyssa Royse, owner of Rocket Community Fitness in Seattle, has been mixing workouts at her gym and cozy exercise at home. Some days she turns off the sound on her Peloton exercise bicycle and watches TV because it takes her “brain somewhere else.” “Too many people look at exercise as an all-or-nothing thing,” Royse said. “It doesn’t give people room to just be where they are today. And I think that’s incredibly important.” I’m John Russell.longevity n. 长寿；长命Part III. KEYQ1. C. 细节题。文章中提到：“It means doing light cardiovascular exercise at home.”意为：“舒适有氧运动指的是在家进行轻微的心血管运动”。因此答案为C。Q2. A. 细节题。文章中提到：“The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says 25 percent of Americans reported they had not done any physical activity in the past month.”意为：“疾病控制预防中心（CDC）的最新数据显示，有25%的美国人报告说他们在过去一个月内没有进行任何身体活动。”A选项正确。因此答案为A。Q3.

B. 细节题。文章中提到：“Montoye said for people who would otherwise watch TV while sitting, walking can help them make progress.”意为：“Montoye表示，对于那些本来会坐着看电视的人来说，走路可以帮助他们取得进步。”可知Alex Montoye认为“舒适有氧运动”有助于习惯性坐着看电视的人取得进步。因此答案为B。Q5. B. 主旨题。整篇文章介绍“舒适有氧运动”的概念，它能帮助人们在家中以轻松的方式提高身体活跃度，并可形成长期的锻炼习惯。文章强调了简单、可行的锻炼方式对养成锻炼习惯的重要性，而不是争议、减重或设备成本等话题。因此，文章的主要观点是提供了一种培养锻炼习惯的替代方法。答案为B。（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

TRANSCRIPTWhat Is the Lunar New Year?(Q1) On February 10, Asian American communities around the world will ring in the Year of the Dragon. Some Lunar New Year celebrations will be public, like parades and fireworks. But, families will also gather for private parties.What is the Lunar New Year?The Lunar New Year is a major holiday in several Asian countries. And people celebrate over several days or even weeks. It is called the Spring Festival in China, Tet in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea. The holiday begins on the first new moon of the lunar calendar and ends 15 days later on the first full moon. Because the holiday is based on the moon, it falls somewhere between the end of January and the end of February. The lunar calendar is based on 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. The animals are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. (Q2) In the Vietnamese zodiac, the cat replaces the rabbit and the buffalo is in place of the ox. For 2024, it is the year of the dragon for both.Tet 是“Tết Nguyên Đán”的简称，是越南春节的简称the Chinese zodiac 中国十二生肖buffalo n. 水牛（分非洲水牛和亚洲水牛两种）What are some traditions around the Lunar New Year?One well-known ancient story speaks of Nian, a terrible monster that eats human flesh on New Year’s Day. But (Q3) Nian has some fears that weaken him. He fears the color red, loud noises and fire. So, (Q4) Lunar New Year activities include putting up red paper dragons on the doors of homes. People also burn red lanterns all night and set off firecrackers to chase away the monster. To this day, the Lunar New Year celebration is centered on removing bad luck and welcoming all that is good and successful. Red is considered a lucky color to ring in a new year. In many Asian cultures, the color symbolizes a good future and joy. People wear red clothing, decorate their homes with red paper lanterns and use red envelopes to present loved ones with gifts of money. Gambling and playing traditional games are common during Lunar New Year among celebrants around the world. Ancestor worship is also common during this time. (Q5) Many Korean families take part in a ceremony called “charye.” Female family members prepare food and male members serve it to ancestors. The final act involves the entire family sharing a meal and asking for help from their ancestors for the coming year. Vietnamese culture holds a similar tradition. People cook traditional dishes and place them on a home altar in honor of their ancestors.celebrant n. 参加聚会（或庆典）的人altar n.（教堂、庙宇的）圣坛，祭坛，祭台How do diaspora communities celebrate?Members of Asian American communities around the U.S. also organize parades, parties and other events around the Lunar New Year.
