24、Why the Best Things in Life are All Backwards
There’s a part of Navy SEAL training called “drown-proofing” (抗溺水训练) where they bind your hands behind your back, tie your feet together, and dump you into a 9-foot-deep pool. Your job is to survive for five minutes.
Most people who try drown-proofing fail. Many of them panic and scream. But some make it. And they do so because they understand a counterintuitive (违反直觉的) lesson: the more you struggle to keep your head above water, the more likely you are to sink (下沉).
With your arms and legs bound, it’s impossible to keep yourself at the surface for the full five minutes. Even worse, your limited efforts to keep your body afloat will only cause you to sink faster. The trick to drown-proofing is to actually let yourself sink to the bottom of the pool. From there, you lightly push yourself off the pool floor and carry you back to the surface. Once there, you can have a quick breath of air and start the whole process over again.
Strangely, surviving drown-proofing requires no superhuman strength. It doesn’t even require that you know how to swim. However, it requires the ability to not swim. This skill—the ability to let go of control when one wants it most—is one of the most important skills anyone can develop. And not just for SEAL training. For life.
Most people suppose the relationship between effort and reward (回报、奖励) is one-to-one. We think that working twice as long will produce twice the results.
This is almost never true. Most of the world does not exist on a linear curve. Linear relationships only work for mindless or repetitive tasks—driving a car, filling out paperwork, cleaning the bathroom, etc. In all of these cases, doing something for two hours will double the output of doing it for one hour. But that’s simply because they require no thought or creativity.
Most activities in life do not operate along the linear effort/reward curve because most activities in life are not basic nor mindless. Most activities are complex (复杂的), mentally or emotionally involved. Therefore, most activities produce a diminishing returns curve.
Diminishing returns means that the more you experience something, the less rewarding it becomes. The classic example is money. The difference between earning $20,000 and $40,000 is life-changing. The difference between $120,000 and $140,000 means your car has nicer seat heaters. The difference between earning $127,020,000 and $127,040,000 is basically nothing.
Friendship has diminishing returns, as does eating, sleeping, working out at the gym, reading books, studying for an exam—the examples are endless.
But there’s another curve, the inverted curve, where effort and reward have a negative relation—the more effort you put into doing something, the more you will fail to do it.
Drown-proofing exists on an inverted curve. The more effort you put into rising to the surface, the more likely you will be to fail at it.
Few things in life work on an inverted curve. But the few things that do are important. In fact, the most important experiences and goals in life all exist on an inverted curve.
Going after happiness takes you further away from it. The longing for greater freedom is often what causes us to feel stuck and trapped. The need to be loved and accepted prevents us from loving and accepting ourselves.
The harder we try to do something, the less we shall succeed. This is “The Backwards Law”: desiring a positive experience is itself a negative experience; accepting a negative experience is a positive experience. The goal is to take your mind and teach it to stop chasing its own tail. To stop chasing meaning, freedom and happiness because those only serve to move it further away from itself. To show it how the only way to reach the surface is by letting itself sink.
You lean into the fear and uncertainty, and just when you think you’re going to drown, just as you reach the bottom, it will launch you back to your salvation (拯救).
【1】The key to survive drown-proofing is to ________.
A．sink down and lift up
B．have enough practice
C．hold your breath for long
D．move smartly underwater
【2】What can we know about the three curves?
A．Linear curve shows the possibility of success.
B．Diminishing returns tells us the less the better.
C．Inverted curve works when we have spiritual needs.
D．There is no direct link between the action and the result.
【3】According to the three curves, which application is probably true?
A．The more friends we have, the happier we will feel.
B．Cleaning works better in the first hour than the second.
C．Confidence increases when we try, and then stops increasing.
D．The more we want respect from others, the less they will respect us.
【4】The writer suggests that we should ________.
A．build mind power to live better
B．shape values for positive outcomes
C．give up struggle to gain what we desire
D．accept negativity because we are not perfect
25、Here are some of the different technologies used in 24 Beijing Winter Olympics.
At the Winter Olympic Village, the athletes were sleeping on “smart beds” equipped (装备) with sensors (传感器). They collected information on things like breathing and heart rates. They also let users choose different sleeping positions, including one called “zero gravity.” That setting is supposed to reduce pressure on muscles (肌肉) and joints (关节) and support higher-quality sleep.
Robots had been deployed (部署) to help visitors and athletes. Some machines were being used to keep social distancing (距离) requirements related to COVID-19. Robots were also transporting equipment, cleaning surfaces and preparing and carrying food to limit human-to-human contact. “Smart” waste containers (容器) were also used, as well as machines that can make and serve wine and coffee.
China’s digital money was in use at the Olympics in the currency’s (货币的) first major test with foreigners. Visitors would be able to use digital yuan to pay for food, transportation and other goods and services. Users could get the currency by downloading an app, getting a digital yuan card or by exchanging foreign currency into digital form through machines in Olympic areas.
Over the past few years, China had carried out tests with digital money in major cities.
【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined words “zero gravity”.
A．零度
B．午夜
C．零重力
D．仰卧
【2】“Smart beds” could ________.
A．tell funny stories to the athletes

26、Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure-those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
I would consider bungee jumping （蹦极跳）to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon)200 meters above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to l50 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that two million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other risky activities include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were often in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was harder than that of the present days.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in safe environment; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
【1】More and more people today ______.
A. are trying activities such as bungee jumping
B. are climbing the highest mountains
C. are coming close to death in sports
D. are looking for adventures such as exploring unknown places
【2】In bungee jumping, you ______.
A. jump as high as you can
B. slide down a rope to the ground
C. tie yourself to a rope and fall to the ground
D. fall towards the ground without a rope
【3】People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because ______.
A. they have a lot of free time
B. they can go to hospital if they are injured
C. there isn’t so much excitement in life.
D. they no longer need to hunt for food
【4】Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. Modern Life is Boring
B. Dangerous Sports: What and Why
C. Is Bungee Jumping Really Dangerous
D. Need for Excitement

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。
As red as chicken blood, the chicken-blood stone is one of the most costly ornamental (装饰用的) materials in China. With its b【1】 red color and jade-like texture (质地), it has been used for centuries to create carved works.
Changhua in Zhejiang is one of the producing areas of such stones. The stones were created by volcanic activity 75 million years ago. S【2】 the Ming Dynasty, local people have been using chicken-blood stones to carve all kinds of things in different s【3】 and sizes.
In 2008, the chicken-blood stone carving was a【4】 to the national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. It not only records geological (地质的) changes, but is also a cultural relic that shows people’s lives of different times. For Chinese people, the carving’s red color also means j【5】, success and good luck.
Craftsman Qian Gaochao, 67, and his son, s【6】 more than six months making three “chicken-blood” stone carvings showing the taekwondo and wrestling competitions for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.
Qian is a national inheritor (继承人) of the intangible cultural heritage of the chicken-blood stone carving technique. He said, “it’s a great honor to be able to contribute to the Asian Games, h【7】 in my hometown, through my hand skills.”
According to Qian, the content and themes he chooses for carvings keep up with and show the style of the times. “I’m not only doing carving work, but also r【8】 the development and changes of our society, and remembering the important events through my carvings,” he said.
Qian has created fascinating works, many of which are related to important events in Chinese history, i【9】 the Zunyi Conference in January 1935. He has also done work to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
Qian hopes the technique can be learned by more people so that it can be passed down. “We are looking for qualified people to continue to inherit and develop these traditional skills. At the same time, we also hold research activities and provide training courses, a【10】 more young students to understand and learn Chinese traditional culture.” he said.
