20、oemsD. should ask parents for permission BAmerican Jake Pinnick comes from a small town called Kewanee.Pinnick said when he told friends and family he wanted to go to the Wudang Kungfu Academy in China, the response was typical. “Its not a usual thing to say, but it is pretty normal for kids to want

21、 to get out of a place like Kewanee. Most kids say something like they want to move to Hollywood and become an actor,” said the 30-year-old. “When I first thought about it, it was daydreaming for myself, too.” Once he found himself at the academy, Pinnick said fitting in was softened by other foreig

22、ners who were in the area and a part of the school. Getting used to the way of life was surprisingly easy given the peaceful nature to it. Pinnick said after a while, he found himself more at home in Wudang than he ever felt back home in Kewanee. Locals were more than welcoming and willing to engage

23、.“The culture shock wasnt that bad. Surprisingly, I find I have more of that going back to America now learning the language did take some time, but everyone around the school was familiar with foreigners, so we had a lot of fun speaking broken English and Chinese back and forth at the start.”After

24、he settled into a routine, Pinnick set about engaging himself in Chinese culture, including Kungfu training. He was also attracted by the philosophical tradition most well-known for the idea of living in harmony with the universe. Pinnick said he had to go home after the first six months and immedia

25、tely wanted to return to China, feeling as if it had now become his home more than America, and he had begun a process of rewriting himself as a person overseas.His life now goes around training, teaching and studying. He graduated from the academy in 2014 and still helps teach there.Pinnick said th

26、e goal is to one day return to America and teach what he has learned. Looking back on his amazing journey, Pinnick said he has grown by leaps and bounds from a small-town American kid who had a daydream he could not shake. 24.

28、 large fortune.C. A Kungfu certificate.D. A good reputation. C Weve all felt the tap to the soul you get from driving by your old high school or hearing a tune you once danced to. But why is that feeling so universal?Nostalgia, a combination of the Greek words nostos (homecoming) and algos (pain), w

29、as a special type of homesickness associated with soldiers fighting far-off wars. Seventeenth-century physicians worried such thoughts put health at risk. In the 19th century, doctors believed it could cause irregular heartbeat, fever, and death.Our understanding of nostalgia has developed since the

30、n. “Its a very mixed emotion,” says Frederick Barrett, a neuroscientist. That makes it hard to fit into existing theory, which typically categorizes emotions as either positive or negative. And triggersthe cars, music or smellsare extremely personal. Therefore, designing a standardized study is diff

31、icult.But we do know nostalgia has a marked effect on us: brain imaging studies show that those experiences have their own neural signature. Neuroscientists argued that the emotion is co-produced by the brains recall and reward systems. They found that nostalgic images use the memory-managing hippoc

32、ampus(海马区) more than other sights, as people mine autobiographical(个人经历的) details deep in the past. This mental effort pays off: as the hippocampus activates, so does one of the brains reward centers.That longing for the past might be a protective mechanism, says Tim Wildschut, a professor. His work

33、 also suggests a more primitive purpose for the feeling: it developed to remind our ancient ancestors of pleasant physical feelings during periods of discomfort and pain. Recent research suggests the occasional look backwards can give us a boost in unnoticeable ways: by increasing self-respect and p

34、rotecting against depression. Nostalgias apparent power to jump-start ones memory also seems to improve recall ability in people with Alzheimers disease.New flavors of “reminiscence therapy”(回忆疗法) are emerging around the world. In 2018, the George G. Glenner Alzheimers Family Centers opened its firs

35、t Town Square, an adult daycare facility designed to look like a small town in 1950s America. Though Town Square has yet to publish peer-reviewed data on the success of the program, clients say it has helped seniors access dusty memories and reconnect with loved ones. Scientists need a lot more info

36、rmation to adequately characterize this complex and bittersweet feeling. But while centuries of doctors considered nostalgia a deadly disease, we now know: it can help us make it through today.27. What can we learn about nostalgia?A. It was first discovered in Greece.B. Its more common among soldier

37、s.C. Its set off by personal experiences.D. It was a well-defined scientific idea.28. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How nostalgia works.B. Why nostalgia matters.C. What nostalgia means.D. When nostalgia emerges. 29. How might nostalgia benefit people? A. It makes peoples mind sharp.B. It gives

38、 seniors a sense of security.C. It helps us face unpleasant situations. D. It improves peoples instant memory.30. Why does the author mention Town Square? A. To reveal a phenomenon of emotion.B. To interpret the concept of a therapy.C. To explore the advantage of a treatment.D. To demonstrate the us

39、e of a research finding.D Search “toxic parents”, and youll find more than 38,000 posts, largely urging young adults to cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard ones mental health from abusive parents. However, as a psychoanalyst, Ive seen that trend in recent years become a way to man

40、age conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement(疏远) has on both sides of the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.Research by Karl Pillemer, a professor at Cornell University, indicates that 1 in 4 American adults have become estranged from their fami

41、lies. I believe thats an undercount, because others have stopped short of completely cutting off contact but have effectively broken the ties.“Canceling” your parent can be seen as an extension of a cultural trend aimed at correcting imbalances in power and systemic inequality. Certainly the family

42、is one system in which power has never been balanced. In 1933, the psychoanalyst Sndor Ferenczi warned that even the simple indication that someone has more power than we do could potentially be damaging.Todays social justice values respond to this reality, calling on us to criticize oppressive and

43、harmful figures and to gain power for those who have been powerless. But when adult children use the most effective tool they have themselves to gain a sense of security and ban their parents from their lives, the roles are simply switched, and the pain only deepens.Often, what I see in my practice

44、are cases of family conflict mismanaged, power dynamics turned upside down rather than negotiated. I see the terrible effect of that trend: situations with no winners, only isolated(孤独的) humans who long to be known and feel safe in the presence of the other.The catch is that after estrangement, adul

45、t children are not suddenly less dependent. In fact, they feel abandoned and betrayed, because in the unconscious, it doesnt matter who is doing the leaving; the feeling that remains is “being left.” They carry the ghosts of their childhood, tackling the emotional reality that those who raised us ca

46、n never truly be left behind, no matter how hard we try. What I have found is that most of these families need repair, not permanent break-up. How else can one learn how to negotiate needs, to create boundaries and to trust? How else can we love others, and ourselves, if not through accepting the li

47、mitations that come with being human? Good relationships are the result not of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments.To pursue dialogue instead of estrangement will be hard and painful work. It cant be a single project of “self-help,” because at the end of the day, real intimacy(亲密关系) is achieved by working through the injuries of the past together. In most cases of family conflict, repair is possible and preferable to estrangement and its worth the work.31. Why do young people
