What des it mean t live a gd life? This questin has been debated fr centuries. In the field f psychlgy, tw main cncepts f the gd life have been quite ppular: A happy life full f pleasure and psitive emtins, and a meaningful life full f purpse and sacrifice. But what if these aren't the nly ptins?
In recent years, a lng-neglected versin f the gd life has been receiving greater attentin: the psychlgically rich life. It is full f cmplex mental engagement, a wide range f intense and deep emtins, and diverse, nvel, surprising and interesting experiences. Smetimes they are neither pleasant nr meaningful. Hwever, they are rarely bring r mntnus.
After all, bth happy and meaningful lives can becme mntnus and repetitive. A persn with a steady ffice jb, married with children, may be satisfied and find his r her life meaningful and still he bred. Als the psychlgically rich life desn't necessarily invlve ecnmic richness. Fr instance, cnsider Hesse's character Gldmund, wh has n mney but pursues the life f a free spirit.
Research has fund psychlgical richness is related t, but partially distinct frm, bth happy and meaningful lives. Psychlgical richness is related with penness t experience and experiencing bth psitive and negative emtins mre intensely. But is the psychlgically rich life ne that peple actually want?
In a new study, Oishi and his clleagues asked peple in nine cuntries the degree t which they value a psychlgically rich life, a happy life and a meaningful life. They fund many peple's self-described ideal lives invlve psychlgical richness. &han frced t chse a life, hwever, the majrity chse a happy life and a meaningful life. Even s, a minrity f peple still favred the psychlgical rich life, ranging frm 6.7% in Singapre t 16.8% in Germany.
These numbers went up when the desire fr a psychlgically rich life was measured indirectly. T understand what a persn wishes their lives might have been, it is imprtant t explre what peple wish they had avided in their lives. When asked what they regret mst and whether unding this event wuld have made their lives happier, mre meaningful r psychlgically richer, abut 28 f Americans said unding the regrettable event wuld have made their lives psychlgically richer.
These findings suggest that while mst peple strive t be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number f peple are cntent merely living a psychlgically rich existence.
As Oishi and his clleagues cnclude, “We believe that taking the psychlgically rich life seriusly will deepen and enrich ur understanding f well-being.". At the end f the day, there is n ne singularly acceptable path t the gd life. Yu have t find a path that wrks best fr yu.
57. Accrding t the passage, the psychlgically rich life _________.
A. means living a luxurius lifeB. invlves varius intense emtins
C. cmbines pleasure with purpseD. emphasizes penness and repetitin
58. What des Oish is research indicate?
A. The Germans prefer psychlgical rich ness t a happy life
B. Unding regrettable events has enriched many peples lives
C. A hidden desire fr psychlgical richness exists amng sme peple
D. Peple with psychlgical richness tend t describe their lives as ideal.
59. We can learn frm the passage that _________
A. purpse utweighs pleasure in terms f significance
B. the chice f a gd life differs frm persn t persn
C. a psitive mindset helps us understand ur well-being
D. we shuld never be cntent and always st rive fr the best
60. What is the main purpse f the article?
A. T cmpare different cncepts f a gd life
B. T explain hw t live a psychlgically rich life
C. T persuade peple t attain psychlgical richness
D. T draw attentin t a less familiar versin f a gd life

On August 28th, at a presentatin ver the Internet, Mr. Mus k shwed ff the prgress f his firm, Neuralink. The highlight was the appearance f Gertrude, a pig with a chip implanted（植入） int her brain.
Reading the brain's electrical signals, a technique called electrencephalgraphy （EEG）, started ver 100 years ag and is nw rutine. It generally invlves placing nn-invasive electrdes（非侵入式电极） n the scalp（头皮）, thugh it smetimes requires the invasive insertin wires int the scalp r the brain. Nn-invasive EEG prvides useful infrmatin, and can even be used t d things like playing cmputer games. Invasive EEG ffers mre accurate readings frm the nerve cells in the brain, thugh at greater risk because f the surgery invlved. The device Gertrude carries, knwn technically as a brain-cmputer interface（接口）. carries invasiveness ne stage further by making the EEG recrder a ptentially permanent implant.
Alng with this imprved interface, Neuralink has built a rbt that will implant it. T d s, the rbt first takes a high-reslutin scan f the recipient's brain. Using this, it is able t sew the electrde threads int place with a precisin that avids any bld tubes in the area. which reduces the risk f damage during surgery. The rbt can put the interface in place in less than an hur. General anesthesia（麻醉） is nt needed fr the prcedure.
One challenge the firm wants t tackle is sending electrical signals int the brain. Mr. Musk says this will require a range f inputs including delicate stimulatin and large amunts f currents. The pint f ding s will be t establish tw-way cmmunicatins. This culd allw entirely new areas f treatment t be explred. Besides epilepsy （癫痫） preventin, such brain stimulatin might als wrk t treat depressin. Mre imprtant in the lng run. it is als essential t Musk's visin f widespread engagement between peple and machines. This, he hpes, will result in a future where memries can be dwnladed and stred elsewhere, and humans can frm a relatinship with AI that is mutually dependent and beneficial.
Nt everyne is impressed. Critics wrry that Ncuralink is t secretive, and that Mr Musk's visin prmises mre than he can deliver. He des, thugh, have a recrd d f ding what he says he is ging t, despite the fact that smetimes nt as rapidly as he says he will. He mre r less single-handedly intrduced battery-electric cars t the market and he built a successful space-rcket business ut f nthing. Brains are a lt mre cmplicated than cars. and even than rcket science But d nt bet against the cming int being at sme pint f the Musk visin f brains and cmputers wrking tgether directly.
61. What can we learn abut EEG?
A. FEG requires the insertin f electrdes
B. Nn-invasive EEG is superir in safety and speed
C. Invasive EEG functins better in reading nerve cells
D. EEG can be updated by using the brain-cmputer interface
62. In Paragraph 3. the authr describes the implantatin t shw __________
A. the advantages f using the rbt B. the simplicity f the prcedure
C. the imprvement f the interface D. the pssible risks f the surgery
63. Accrding t the text, __________.
A. Mus k achieves mre in brain study than in rcket science
B. brain stimulatin is crucial fr peple-machine interactin
C. new methds f treatment have been researched and created
D. the firm has difficulty finding the right kind f input fr brains
64. What's the authr's attitude twards Musk's visin?
A. Psitive. B. Negative. C. Dubtful. D. Neutral

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Hw t Stp Overthinking
We all have times when we wrry. whether it's abut wrk, health, family, relatinships r a hst f ther reasns. But is there a pint when yu may think and wrry t much?
Overthinking is an unhealthy habit that typically causes mre stress by fcusing n the negative instead f cming up with lgical slutins. Fr example, we may start wrrying abut a specific situatin at wrk, which leads t wrrying abut mney r lsing jbs.
But why d we tend t verthink? This is ften due t cgnitive errrs. which are basically errrs in lgical thinking, such as all-r-nthing thinking and ver generalisatin. Althugh verthinking is hard t break. Natacha Duke, a registered psychtherapist, utlines strategies that can help.
“Healthy distractin can be useful.” says Duke. Activities like reading and taking a walk can help keep ur stress levels dwn. They can reduce ur baseline level f anxiety and make us less likely t verthink.
Duke adds, “Keeping a daily jurnal can help us actively manage stress befre ur feelings expand ut f cntrl.” As we practise jurnaling ur emtins and thughts, it becmes easier t identify when we're starting t wrry. Stpping wrrying early will ultimately help us feel better and stay fcused n what matters mst t us.
Sme peple cnstantly think abut questins like “What if I lse my jb?” r “What if I get sick?” While having these thughts is nrmal, it becmes a prblem when we fcus nly n the wrst-case situatin. “Fr every 'what if' wrry, change this t an 'if then'statement where yu cme up with ideas t deal with the wrry r the wrst-case situatin,” says Duke. “Fcus n having a cncrete plan in place.”
S, face the prblems, then challenge and reframe them. Finally, we will develp effective ways t cpe with verthinking.
70. What is verthinking?
71. What causes verthinking?
72. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
A man can stp verthinking if he changes “what if” questins t “if then” statements, because it helps him fcus n the wrst-case situatin.
73. Besides the suggestins mentined in the passage, what ther advice will yu give t a persn wh is always verthinking?
