We often take a militaristic.“tough”approach to resilience and grit.We imagine a marine slogging through the mud,a boxer going one more round,or a football player picking himself up off the turf for one more play.We believe that the longer we tough it out,the tougher we are,and therefore the more successful we will be.However,this entire conception is scientifically inaccurate.
The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability to be resilient and successful.Research has found that there is a direct correlation between lack of recovery and increased incidence of health and safety problems.And lack of recovery–whether by disrupting sleep with thoughts of work or having continuous cognitive arousal by watching our phones—is costing our companies$62 billion a year(that’s billion,not million)in lost productivity.
The misconception of resilience is often bred from an early age.Parents trying to teach their children resilience might celebrate a high school student staying up until 3 a.m.to finish a science fair project.What a distortion of resilience!A resilient child is a well—rested one.When an exhausted student goes to school,he risks hurting everyone on the road with his impaired driving;h doesn’t have the cognitive resources to do well on his English test;he has lower self—control with his friends;and at home,he is moody with his parents.Overwork and exhaustion are the opposite of resilience.And the bad habits we learn when we’re young only magnify when we hit the workforce.
The key to resilience is trying really hard,then stopping,recovering,and then trying again.
This conclusion is based on biology.Homeostasis is a fundamental biological concept describing the ability of the brain to continuously restore and sustain well—being.Positive neuroscientist Brent Furl from Texas A&M University coined the term“homeostatic value\\
1.According to the passage.what is the relationship between recovery and resilience?(B)
A. Without the ability to be resilient,it will be more difficult for us to recover.
B. Our ability to be resilient is negatively affected if there is no chance to recover.
C. The more recovery time we have,the more resilient we will be.
D. The increase of health and safety problems is usually caused by lack of recovery.
解析:推断题。题干:根据文章,恢复和韧性之间有什么关系?A项“没有韧性,我们会更难恢复”,文中并没有提到没有韧性恢复会怎样,故A项错误。文章第二段第一句提到“The very lack of a recovery,period …(缺少恢复期会大大抑制我们的韧性,降低成功几率:)”由此可知,如果不能适时恢复,我们的韧性就会受到影响,故B项“如果没有恢复的机会,我们的韧性会受到负面影响”正确。文中只是说要获得韧性,工作一段时间之后需要有一定的恢复期,并且工作的时间越长,需要越多的恢复,但是并没有说恢复的时间越长,韧性就越好.故C项“我们的恢复时间越长,我们的韧性就越好”排除D项“健康和安全问题的增多通常是由于缺乏恢复”并没有说明恢复和韧性之间的关系。属于答非所问,故排除。本题选B。
2.What do you think is the authors’attitude by saying“What a distortion of resilience!”?(D)
A. They understand it is the parents’way to teach resilience.
B. They think it just represents part of what resilience means.
C. They think resilience cannot be taught by other people.
D. They think it is a totally wrong way to approach resilience.
解析:题干:你从为作者通过说“这是对韧性多么扭曲的解释”传达的态度是什么?定位到文章第三段。该段第一句对韧性的误解通常是从小就产生的,是该段的主旨句。根据本段可知,作者不赞同让高中生熬夜学习以培养韧性的方法,这是解读韧性的一种完全错误的方法。故本题选D。
3.Which of the following opinions is INCORRECT according to the 4th and 5th paragraph?(A)
A. The key to resilience lies in pushing hard and also st
