13、ver heard the saying: Change is the only constant. Everyone, without doubt, goes through changes in their life, whether it is a physical state of aging or a mental state of emotional maturity. However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a f
14、resh start.I have a friend named Jack. At the age of 37, he is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four. He has a great salary, owns his own apartment and enjoys the fine things in life, but not without the heavy burdens that his job brings. On the surface, it looks like he has got life figured out.
15、Yet when I once asked if he was happy with his work, he answered that he sometimes wished to quit his job to do something less stressful. But hed become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.For him, the risks are too high, so whether
16、 he can't abide his present job or not, he has to choose to suck it up. You might have come to a similar situation as Jacks or you might be a Jack. You're now facing a wall. No matter what it isthe stress of your job or the terrible feeling, its time that you had to decide whether you'll
17、 tear down that wall or continue to let it enclose you. I suggest pushing back the boundaries and breaking the fixed patterns. Why do you feel it's too late to start over? That is simply because you're comparing yourself with othersyounger or more successful individuals. In fact, you should
18、compare yourself with the older version of you.Don't become that person who lets life pass by only to regret it when you are making your way into old age. Don't let your life plateau（停滞不前）and waste away in the daily chores. Don't give up the potential you still have hidden and be locked

22、The “little voice in your head” can be your worst critic and greatest supporter. Its been known to help with directions, give advice, and even remind you to put potatoes on the grocery list. But does everyone have an inner monologue? For a long time, it was assumed that an inner voice was simply par
23、t of being human. But it turns out, thats not the casenot everyone processes life in words and sentences. “By inner monologue, we mean that we can have private speech thats addressed to ourselves and that is carried out without any sound,” said Helene Loevenbruck, a senior neurolinguistics researche
24、r at CNRS. With true inner speech, you almost “hear” your inner voice, she told Live Science. Youre aware of its tone and intonation (语调). For example, the voice can “sound” angry or worried. This long-held assumption was first challenged in the late 1990s by Russell Hurlburt, a psychologist at the
25、University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Hurlburt studied participants inner speech by asking them to wear a beeper. Whenever the device beeped, they had to write down what they were thinking or experiencing in their mind just before the sound. Perhaps the participant wrote down, “I need to buy some bread.”
26、 He would then ask if thats what they actually thought. “Or did you think bread? Or were you hungry?” Loevenbruck explained. After several meetings, participants got better at articulating (流利连贯地表达)their true thoughts, she said. Eventually, this method revealed that some people had inner speech ever
27、y time the device beeped. But others had less inner speech than usual, and some didnt have inner speech at all. They experienced images, sensations and emotions, but not a voice or words. The lack of an inner monologue has been linked to a condition called aphantasia (心盲症)sometimes called “blindness
28、 of the minds eye.” People who experience aphantasia cant mentally picture their bedroom or their mothers face. Many times, those who dont experience visualizations dont experience clear inner speech, either, Loevenbruck noted.25. What was previously assumed about the inner monologue?A. It rarely ex
29、isted in humans. B. It could help solve all kinds of problems.C. It was something everyone was born with.D. It was used mainly to criticize or support oneself.26. What does Loevenbruck say about an inner monologue?A. It lacks tone and intonation.B. It

He required participants to describe their grocery lists.C. He placed something in participants heads to record their inne
31、r speech.D. He checked participants notes and asked about their true thoughts.28. Why do some people never experience an inner monologue?A. They suffer serious brain damage. B. They cannot distinguish what they see.C. They fail to mentally picture what they see. D. They m
