Nrwegian playwright and authr Jn Fsse has just been awarded the 2023 Nbel Prize in Literature fr his “innvative plays and prse which give vice t the unsayable”.
The Swedish Academy credits Fsse as “ne f the mst widely perfrmed playwrights in the wrld”, althugh the 64-year-ld riginally made his name as a nvelist, beginning with Red, Black in 1983. He has since written many wrks f prse and petry. “His literary wrks, spanning a variety f genres, cmprises abut 40 plays and a wealth f nvels, petry cllectins, essays, children’s bks and translatins,” said Anders Olssn, chairman f the Nbel Cmmittee fr Literature.
Jn Fsse draws inspiratin frm his rural living envirnment and persnal struggles, which have deeply influenced his distinctive writing style. Grwing up in a small castal village, Fsse was immersed in the beauty f nature and the vastness f the sea, which filled him with a sense f slitude and intrspectin(内省) that is reflected in his wrks. Fsse’s writing discussed themes f lneliness, lnging, and the search fr meaning in life. Additinally, his battles with depressin have enabled him t explre the depths f human emtins and existential despair.
“He tuches yu s deeply when yu read his wrks,” said Anders Olssn. “What is special abut him is the clseness in his writing. It tuches yur deepest feelings — anxieties, insecurities, questins f life and death, which are things that every human being actually faces frm the very beginning. In that sense I think he reaches very far and there is a srt f a universal impact f everything that he writes — it has appeal t this basic humanity.”
Fsse is the first-ever laureate writing in Nynrsk(尼诺斯克语), ne f the tw fficial languages f Nrwegian, but nly used by just 10% f the ppulatin. As the Guardian writes, “Many Nynrsk speakers see Fsse ‘as a kind f natinal her’ fr his champining f the language.” Fsse’s recgnitin n a glbal stage prmtes the visibility and imprtance f Nynrsk as a written standard. It will attract mre attentin t Nynrsk literature, inspire and encurage Nynrsk speakers t cntinue preserving and prmting their linguistic heritage.
24. What d we knw abut Jn Fsse frm paragraph 2?
A. His mst ppular wrk is the play Red, Black.
B. He accmplished varius genres f literature wrks.
C. Many famus plays are the inspiratin fr his writing.
D. His language skills earned him the Nbel Prize in Literature.
25. What des paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A. Jn Fsse’s tugh experiences.B. Jn Fsse’s mtivatin fr writing.
C. The majr themes f Jn Fsse’s wrks. D. The effect f life n Jn Fsse’s writing style.
26. What is special abut Jn Fsse’s wrks accrding t Anders Olssn?
A. They explre the real meaning f life.B. They tuch humans’ deepest emtins.
C. They shw the bnd between humans and nature.D. They appeal t readers t reflect n persnal feelings.
27. What cntributin f Jn Fsse is mentined in the last paragraph?
A. He explains the imprtance f linguistic diversity.
B. He has imprved the internatinal status f Nrway.
C. He bsts the develpment and preservatin f Nynrsk.
D. He shapes the basic writing standard f Nrwegian literature.

The needs f plus-size cnsumers have lng been the elephant in the rm f the fashin industry until bdy psitivity and fat acceptance mvements prmted the slgan that large-bdied peple are nt thse wh are left behind. This size-inclusive trend has becme s ppular that it is influencing mainstream culture. As a result, fashin brands have finally decided t extend their size ranges. In 2022, the plus-size market grew twice as fast as the standard size market in bth Nrth America and the UK.
Yet, many cnsumers say fashin brands bradening their ranges are nt truly inclusive. “Inclusive sizing means that all bdies are included in fashin, nt just the nes wh fit in standard sizes,” says Marie Suthard Ospina, a UK-based jurnalist wh cvers bdy-image issues. “Hwever, what many designers d right nw is pick a number that they think is big enugh t include plus sizes and stp. This is even mre disrespectful.”
Researchers als criticize that sme brands are just taking advantage f the trend. “Brands that used t prmte s-called perfect bdies in their advertisements are nw trying t get in n the trend by adding a few sizes. It desn’t feel like they really care abut plus-size peple,” says Tm Burgess, analyst in fashin industry. “If brands cared abut large-bdied cnsumers, then it wuldn’t have taken until nw t acknwledge that they exist,” he says. “It gives the impressin that cmpanies are just trying t gain a share f the market withut a real cmmitment t the cmmunity.”
The fashin industry must g beynd merely prducing clthing in a particular range f sizes if they hpe t succeed with a bdy-diverse wrld. The whle industry has t cnnect n a persnal level with cnsumers. That invlves shwing shppers that they are seen, understd and imprtant t brands. “Cnsumers care abut values, and s they want t buy frm brands that reflect the values they believe in. Everyne shuld enjy the same range f fashin ptins,” says Ludvica Cesare, prfessr f marketing at the Cllege f Business in the US.
28. What d the underlined wrds “the elephant in the rm” mean in the first paragraph?
A. The ht issue that is valued. B. The bvius truth that is ignred.
C. The imprtant principle that is recgnized.D. The cmmn phenmenn that is criticized.
29. Accrding t Marie, cnsumers say sme fashin brands are nt truly inclusive because ________.
A. they pick sizes randmly B. they ffer limited plus sizes
C. they treat designers disrespectfully D. they haven’t bradened standard sizes
30. Fr what d researchers mainly criticize sme brands?
A. Their designs. B. Their quality.
C. Their mtivatins. D. Their advertisements.
31. What des the last paragraph imply?
A. Buyers deserve fashin that respects their values. B. Cnsumers prefer brands with persnalized styles.
C. Brands shuld catch up with the size-inclusive trend.D. A gd brand image is critical in the fashin industry.
D
Psychlgical science is full f interesting tpics, many f which tell a cherent picture f human nature, but sme f which create seemingly cntradictry stries. A case in pint is the tricky and misunderstd verlap(重叠) between strength-based science and the research n narcissism(自恋).
There is nw cnvincing evidence t shw that narcissism is n the rise, especially in ur yuth. In my wn research n strength-based parenting, it is cmmn fr peple t wrngly label this apprach as a recipe fr narcissism. Their argument seems t be that a child wh knws their strengths will autmatically view themselves as better than everyne else. It is argued that the self-assurance that cmes with identifying and using their psitive qualities will make a child arrgant, selfish and uncaring. Genuine cnfidence abut ne’s strengths is categrized as ver-cnfidence; desirable self-knwledge is branded as excessive self-admiratin.
Why des this ccur? It’s partly because mre is knwn abut narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychlgy has largely stayed within the limit f academic jurnals r has been applied nly within certain cntexts such as the wrkplace, research n narcissism has made its way int the mass media and int ur cllective cnsciusness. The New Yrk Times nted that narcissism is a favred “g-t” tpic and that peple everywhere are diagnsing thers with it.
The fear that a strength-based apprach will cause narcissism als ccurs because we unknwingly fall prey t binary(非此即彼) thinking. We mistakenly believe that ne cannt be bth cnfident and humble. We fcus n Dnald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mther Teresa. There’s n way that Gandhi and Mther Teresa culd have achieved what they did withut cnfidence in their strengths, and yet they are bth pillars f mdesty and selflessness.
When we assume that strength-fcus is the same as a self-fcus, we fail t entertain the idea that peple wh knw their strengths are, actually, mre likely t be pr-scial and fcus n helping thers.
It’s tempting t cnclude that every yung persn is at risk f becming a narcissist but I’d like t stand up fr the thusands f yung kids I have wrked with wh are caring, thughtful and humble—even when they use their strengths.
32. Which des the underlined wrd “cherent” pssibly mean?
A. Reasnable. B. Primary. C. Cmplicated. D. Beneficial.
33. Why teenagers’ strengths are ften mistaken fr narcissism?
A. Teenagers with strengths are always arrgant, selfish and uncaring.
B. The public are mre expsed t research n narcissism.
C. There is a lack f strengths in ur cllective cnsciusness.
D. Numbers f peple are diagnsed with narcissism by dctrs.
34. The authr mentins Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 6 t shw that ________.
A. they are bth victims f binary thinkingB. public figures unknwingly fall prey t narcissism
C. cnfidence is quite imprtant fr celebritiesD. ne can be bth mdest and sure f himself
35. What’s the authr’s attitude twards yung kids’ strength-based appraches?
A. Skeptical. B. Neutral. C. Favrable. D. Cautius.

Many f us set gals, but smetimes we fail t achieve them. There are many causes why we dn’t manage t realize ur gals. 36 There is a way, thugh, t help address this prblem: set reminders. Peple emply a psychlgical strategy called cgnitive fflading, where we use a physical actin t reduce demands n ur brain. Specifically, we may utsurce ur intentins frm being stred in ur brains t reminders utside ur head. 37
Understanding the benefits f cgnitive fflading can imprve ur ability t remember and fllw thrugh with ur intentins. The biggest benefit is simply that it imprves memry perfrmance. It increases the prbability that we will wrk twards the gals we need t reach. 38 “The mre we fflad unimprtant infrmatin, such as items n a shpping list, the mre we can use ur brain fr thse mre significant cgnitive tasks, such as creativity,” said Sam Gilbert, prfessr at the University Cllege Lndn.
39 Still, there are ptential negative parts fr it. We are mre likely t frget what we ffladed if we n lnger access ur strage, such as when ur smartphne dies. We als tend t fflad the imprtant things we mst want t remember. In a surprise test where their reminders were wiped clean, the participants were mre likely t frget the imprtant items and recall the unimprtant nes, that is, the mre imprtant the intentin we want t remember, the mre likely we are t fflad it—and t frget it.
We’d better tend t create reminders when we think we need them, but nt necessarily when we d need them. 40 “If ur understanding f ur memry ability is wrng, this suggests that we will either veruse r underuse reminders,” Gilbert said. “We can learn by nticing the times that we have frgtten t d smething and culd have used reminders t help.”
A. Cgnitive fflading has nticeable benefits.
B. One cmmn reasn is that we simply frget them.
C. Besides, it can free up ur limited cgnitive resurces.
D. A gd example can be dcuments n ur smartphne calendars.
E. The prcess f cgnitive fflading helps us identify false infrmatin.
F. Our beliefs abut hw gd ur memry is directly influence whether we set them.
G. Other experts say it’s t sn t understand hw cgnitive fflading affects ur brains.
