The alarm rang in my ear. After silencing it, I remained in bed. My mtivatin t push ahead with my PhD was disappearing, which made it hard t face each new day. Cntinuing wuld risk a ttal breakdwn. With anxiety, I decided t cease my PhD temprarily and take a 9-mnth psitin at a health care charity. Back when I lked fr PhD psitins, I was unclear what I wanted t study. Fr me, the degree mstly served as a means t an end, securing mre interesting and higher-paid psitins in the private sectr than my master’s degree wuld unlck. S I wasn’t picky and reasned a variety f prjects that wuld prvide the training and degree I wanted.
In hindsight (事后想来), I shuld have been mre selective. I ended up wrking n a prject I was technically capable f cmpleting but ver time felt full f disappintment. The purely academic research was intellectually interesting, yet I struggled t see hw it wuld make an impact n the wider real wrld.
Sme unexpected things amplified my truble. I started my prgram in 2020, when meetings were virtual and in-persn cntact was actively discuraged, s I had few pprtunities t frm persnal cnnectins with c-wrkers. Research became my nly fcus, and when my interest in that faded, my prject felt depressing.
After nly 1 mnth at the charity, it became clear that I’d made the right decisin. My mental health imprved and I fund it easier t cme int wrk. Things I did culd matter and energize me after all —if I chse wisely. That was exactly what I needed and desired. After that realizatin, I decided I wanted t return t my PhD prgram and make changes. I tld my teacher I wasn’t interested in the current research. T my relief, he was supprtive, and we redesigned the prject t better fit me. I will return t my prgram next mnth, ptimistic that this time will be different. But if it desn’t g as I hpe, my charity experience has given me directin and cnfidence that I’ll live a satisfying life, with r withut a PhD.
4.What did the authr view the PhD degree as at first?

I wanted t set myself the writing challenge f citing sme f the many psitive things abut having a baby. It’s addressed t ne persn, but I hpe that thse wh find themselves at a similar crssrads get help frm it.
T my friend A,
All yu ever seem t hear abut parenthd is negative. I d nt feel this. Yu create a new life in that child, and with that baby, yu get a new life, t. When I became a mther, my wn mther’s embrace, and my father’s, nt t mentin my extended family’s, have kept me ging.
We are used t hearing abut hw mtherhd limits yur life, less s abut hw it can expand it. I have always believed that life is fundamentally abut human relatinships, and having a baby has enhanced mine. Becming a mther—and giving birth—has enhanced my feelings f slidarity with ther wmen. Parenting has als allwed me t experience childhd again. I have always wanted t give smene else a childhd. My wide-eyed little by is at the stage where he is simply in lve with the wrld, and that lve is thrillingly uncnditinal. It is a privilege t witness, and it makes me determined t maintain it fr him as much as I am able t, because his laugh is the best sund that I have ever heard.
A nte abut sleep: yu will be OK-yu’ve had enugh wild nights t knw yu can cpe. And yu can get yur bdy back, whatever that might mean t yu. As fr yur career, it’s nrmal t wrry. I speak nly fr myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time wrrying befrehand abut hw I wuld write. I have far less time, nw, but I’m still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up t a nvel, eventually. There is s much untapped jy and lve there waiting fr yu, and I hpe I’ve given yu a small glimpse f sme f it t hld n t.
8.Wh might be the intended audience fr this article?
A.Self-centered parents.
B.Thse fearing t have a baby.
C.Brken-hearted friends.
D.Thse aviding marriage.
9.Hw des the authr mainly make his arguments cnvincing?
A.By explaining ideas.B.By quting sayings.
C.By cmparing facts.D.By cncluding pinins.
10.Why des the writer give examples f her writing in the last paragraph?
A.T shw hw successful she was as a writer.
B.T nte that where there is a will there is a way.
C.T tell her friend that giving birth is a piece f cake.
D.T persuade her friend nt t wrry abut her career.
11.Which clumn may the article be chsen frm?
A.Opinin.B.Headline.C.Health.D.Culture.
When yu ask peple t judge thers by their speech, a trend emerges: Listeners dislike disfluency. Slw talkers prducing lads f ums and pauses (停顿) are generally perceived as less charming. But science tells us there may be even mre t disfluency.
Disfluencies d nt ccur in arbitrary psitins in sentences. Ums typically ccur right befre mre difficult r lw-frequency wrds. Imagine yu’re having dinner with a friend at a restaurant, and there’re three items n the table: a knife, a glass, and a wine decanter (醒酒器). Yur friend turns t yu and says, “Culd yu hand me ” What wuld yu assume they want? Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate befre such cmmn wrds as knife, and glass, chances are yu’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “Yu mean this?”
This is exactly what we demnstrated thrugh cntrlled eye-tracking studies in ur lab. Apparently, listeners hear the um and predict that an uncmmn wrd is mst likely t fllw. Such predictins, thugh, reflect mre than just simple assciatin between disfluencies and difficult wrds; listeners are actively cnsidering frm the speaker’s pint f view. Fr example, when hearing a nn-native speaker say the same sentence but with a thick freign accent, listeners dn’t shw a preference fr lking at lw-frequency bjects. This is prbably because listeners assume nn-native speakers may have as much truble cming up with the English wrd fr a cmmn bject, like a knife, as fr unusual nes and can’t guess their intentin.
In anther experiment, listeners were presented with an uncmmn speaker wh prduced disfluencies befre simple wrds and never befre difficult wrds. Initially, participants displayed the natural predictive strategy: lking at uncmmn bjects. Hwever, as mre time went by, they gained experience with this uncmmn distributin f disfluencies. Listeners started t demnstrate the cntrary predictive behavir: They tended t lk at simple bjects when hearing the speaker say um.
These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a predictin machine: We cntinuusly try t predict what will happen next, even thugh nt all disfluencies are created equal.
12.Which statement des the example in paragraph 2 supprt?
A.Pauses usually fllw uncmmn wrds.B.Slw talkers tend t pause mre.
C.Fluent speakers are unlikely t pause.D.Active listeners nly guess difficult wrds.
13.What des the authr say abut the nn-native speakers?
A.They can be understd easily.B.They actively put themselves in thers’ shes
C.Their vcabularies are limited.D.Their disfluencies are a little less predictive.
14.What des the experiment in paragraph 4 shw?
A.Simple things are difficult in sme cases.B.Listeners can adjust predictins accrdingly.
C.Distributin f disfluencies is changeable.D.Disfluencies in cmmunicatin can be avided.
15.Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the article?
A.Pauses Cexist with HesitatinB.Human Brains Have the Pwer t Predict
C.Active Listeners Simplify TalksD.Disfluency Says Mre than Yu Think
Everyne is faced with prblems at sme pint r the ther. 16 The prblems, hwever, becme different when past strategies d nt wrk and there is n bvius slutin. This can cause anxiety and stress. Hwever, all yu need t d is remain calm and use a new, different methd. Here are sme easy ways t slve prblems.
Acknwledge that there is a prblem. Many peple refuse t acknwledge that there is a prblem. They cntinue thinking everything will disappear n its wn, s they fail t seek timely help. This des nt help the situatin in any way. 17
Keep a jurnal. Keeping a daily jurnal is the best way t slve deeper prblems that may be affecting yur peace f mind. 18 Smetimes, just by writing dwn issues, yu might get t see that a prblem isn’t as big as yu are thinking.
19 Often, t slve a prblem, yu need t test yur limits. Yu may have t take n certain challenges including learning smething new t imprve yurself. If yu cntinue thinking f the prblem as a threat and view yurself as a failure r a weak persn, yu will nt be able t deal with the prblem. Nevertheless, if yu can see sme benefits cming ut f the prblem, yu will be in a better psitin t accept the challenge and learn smething new.
Seek help. 20 If yu are still unable t slve the issue despite giving it much thught and attentin, seek help frm friends, clleagues, family r even prfessinals.
A.Challenge yurself.
B.Set achievable gals.
C.Instead, it can make the prblem bigger than befre.
D.S write dwn all the prblems yu are facing right nw.
E.Smetimes, certain prblems can’t be slved n yur wn.
F.S try t cme up with at least 10 different slutins t a prblem.
G.Many prblems can be slved by using methds we might have used befre.

Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate befre such cmmn wrds as knife, and glass, chances are yu’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “Yu mean this?”(“嗯”通常出现在更难或低频的单词之前。想象一下,你和一个朋友在餐馆吃饭,桌子上有三样东西:一把刀、一个玻璃杯和一个醒酒器。你的朋友转向你说:“你能把…嗯…递给我吗?”你认为他们想要什么?由于他们不太可能在刀和玻璃等常用词面前犹豫,所以你很可能会拿起醒酒器问:“你是说这个?”)”可知,“嗯”(不流畅表达中的一种)一般出现在更难或低频的词汇前,本段的例子旨在证明不流畅表达在句子中出现的位置不是随意的,而是有规律可循的。故选A。
13.推理判断题。根据第三段“This is prbably because listeners assume nn-native speakers may have as much truble cming up with the English wrd fr a cmmn bject, like a knife, as fr unusual nes and can’t guess their intentin.(这可能是因为听众认为,非母语人士可能很难想出英语单词来表示一个常见的物体,比如一把刀,也很难想出不寻常的物体,而且无法猜测他们的意图)” 可知,作者认为非母语者的不流畅之处很难预测到。故选D。
14.推理判断题。根据第四段“Hwever, as mre time went by, they gained experience with this uncmmn distributin f disfluencies. Listeners started t demnstrate the cntrary predictive behavir: They tended t lk at simple bjects when hearing the speaker say um.(然而,随着时间的推移,他们获得了这种不常见的不流畅分布的经验。听众开始表现出相反的预测行为:当听到说话者说“嗯”时,他们倾向于看简单的物体)”可知,第四段中的实验显示的是听众可以相应地调整预测。故选B。
15.主旨大意题。根据第一段“But science tells us there may be even mre t disfluency.(但科学告诉我们,不流畅表达传达的信息可能更多)”、最后一段“These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a predictin machine: We cntinuusly try t predict what will happen next, even thugh nt all disfluencies are created equal.(这些发现进一步证明了人类大脑是一台预测机器:我们不断尝试预测接下来会发生什么,尽管并非所有的不流畅都是相同的)”以及文章内容可知,本段主要介绍了听者不喜欢不流畅的表达,说话迟缓且话中有大量的“嗯”和停顿的人通常被认为不那么有魅力。但科学研究发现不流畅传达的信息比人们认为的要多,所以“不流畅传达的信息比人们认为的要多”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。
