2020届浙江省湄池中学高三下英语练习试题一
一、阅读理解：
第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

One of the basic ways we get happy is by meeting our goals,as opposed to the setbacks and anger we feel when we do not. Setting goals and meeting them might seem an easy way to happiness. The problem is that goals which are too easy are not that rewarding.Our brains want us to improve and grow and make us happy only when we deserve it.
Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi uses the term “flow” for the state we get into when we are buried in something enjoyable, where time seems to fly by.He also describes a person with “autotelic personality” as someone who sets themselves challenging but achievable goals.
An important part of finding flow is letting go of the self. When you are absorbed in doing something, you lose track of your sense of identity. This can be particularly scary for those who are very selffocused and abnormally, the selfish often have difficulty finding happiness.
There is also a curious “workplay” paradox(矛盾)，where people at work are dreaming of holidays, yet sitting on the beach is quickly boring.Asked about when they were happiest，many people will describe times at work when they achieved significant goals.
Another critical reason for seeking challenge is to keep the brain active and learning.After the age of about 25,the brain literally becomes increasingly set in its ways, so learning and thinking about new things becomes harder.This is why the personality of many people remains unchanged during adulthood.Unless they keep taking on challenges, which takes a lot of practice, repetition and persistence to fit in the new thinking.
Changes in the way of thinking need challenge, especially energetic challenge. This is easier if your body is in good shape and fed well. It takes good nutrients, exercise and rest to help develop new ones.
