These years, peple wh were asked t stay at hme fr sme special reasns felt a lt mre lnely and bred than befre. “There is als a spread f lneliness,” said Jhn, a prfessr at Pennsylvania State University, US.
Jhn explained, “Lneliness is clsely cnnected (有关的) t ur health, including health f mind and bdy, the state (状态) f feeling very sad and withut hpe and ther health challenges in mind.”
Tgether with an internatinal team f researchers (研究者), Jhn studied hw t make peple feel cnfident, less lnely and beileve smehing gd will happen during the special perid. And accrding t their new study, that has smething t d with ding enjyable activities, which require bth strng attentins and skill. “When peple lse themselves in what they are ding, they enter a state called ‘flw’”, Jhn explained.
T achieve a state f flw, there must be a balance between the challenge f the task and yur skill level. Fr example, if yu’re trying t design an app but yur dn’t knw much abut cmputer language, yu may feel stressed instead f achieving flw. On the ther hand, if the task is t easy, peple will feel bred and flw will nt appear, either.

四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文, 请根据短文内容, 在文后表格中填入恰当的单词, 每空一词。 (共10空；每空1. 5分, 满分15分)
Stepping int a bkstre, yu might ntice shelves labelled (标注着) “self-help”. Yu may nt knw what these bks are abut. In fact, mre peple are turning t self-help bks fr advice these days. Yu can’t imagine (想象) that sales f these bks in the UK reached abut three millin last year.
Self-help bks are usually written by sme famus writers, psychlgists (心理学家) r successful businessmen. They teach yu what t d when yu have prblems in yur life—fr example, hw t get alng with yur classmates r cwrkers, hw t manage yur time well r hw t find happiness.
Paul Sweetman, the wner f City Bks in the UK, said the scial envirnment might be ne reasn why mre peple are reading self-help bks. Recently, the scial envirnment has becme mre and mre stressful (有压力的) . “Sme peple cme int the bkstre because they’re really tired f things. They’re lking fr smething relaxing t calm themselves, “Paul said. Besides, yunger readers—such as peple brn after 2000—seem t understand their wn prblems better, accrding t British psychlgist Carline Beatn. This means they’re mre willing t imprve themselves by reading self-help bks.
Self-help bks were smething peple laughed at in the past. Many peple didn’t take chicken sup stries r “success thery” bks seriusly. But nw they’re becming increasingly attractive (有吸引力的) t peple.
Frm my pint f view, whatever the reasn fr the grwing interest in self-help bks is, it’s gd t knw that help is at hand if we need it. But d these bks truly help us? Read ne and find ut.
