高三英語培優(yōu)外刊閱讀班級：____________學號：____________姓名：____________外刊精選｜經此一疫，你還相信明天會更好嗎？今天，冰彬老師為我們帶來了一期關于“創(chuàng)傷后成長”的特別加長版外刊：在每個人的生命歷程中，難免要與“痛苦”產生交集。痛苦，一旦洶涌而來，就會攪亂原本平靜、安穩(wěn)的生活，甚至會打碎我們原有的信念，讓身處其中的人無所適從。但古希臘有句名言：必經苦難，終得智慧。今天的外刊選文，來自美國知名評論家和作家DavidBrooks。他在其中，就如何平復創(chuàng)傷、找回人生的意義，做出一番精彩的論述。SomePeopleTurnSufferingIntoWisdomByDavidBrooksBarbaraLazearAscher’shusbandgaveherthenewsinthemoststraightforwardway.“Lookslikepancreaticcancer,”hetoldhermatteroffactlyafterthetestresultscameback.Sheandtheirfriendsgavehimawonderfuldeath.Theyhadthemepartieswithmatchingdrinks.“Dyingwasintimate,andIdrewclose,”Ascherwritesinhermovingmemoir,“Weweresingleminded,weldedtogetherintheprocessofthislongleavetaking.”Thegrievingrightafterhediedwasanarchic.Beforelong,shewasbeggingCVSworkerstoturnoffthesoundsystemthatwasplaying“I’llBeHomeforChristmas.”Shebegantofearbathing.Shehadvisionsofhimonthestreet.Thiskindofdisorientationisbrutal…andnormal.Griefandsufferingoftenshatterourassumptionsaboutwhoweareandhowlifeworks.ThesocialpsychologistRonnieJanoffBulmannotesthatmanypeopleassumethattheworldisbenevolent,thatlifeiscontrollableandthatwearebasicallygoodpeoplewhodeservegoodthings.Sufferingandlosscanblastthattosmithereens.“Traumachallengesourglobalmeaningsystem,”thepsychologistStephenJosephwritesin“WhatDoesn’tKillUs.”“Itconfrontsuswithexistentialtruthsaboutlifethatclashwiththissystem.”Thisprocessofposttraumaticgrowthismorelikerewritinganovel.It’saprocessofreconsideringandreorganizing—craftingadifferentstory.Thefirstphaseisoftenslowandphysical.Ittakestimeforthebodytoexperienceenoughnewfeelingsofsafetyandconnection—withotherpeople—tocontradicttheshockofloss.Graduallytheprocessofrestoryingbegins.Thisistakinganowfragmentedlifeandslowlycoheringitintoanewnarrative.Thenthereistheprocessofregainingcontroloveryourbeliefs.Afterloss,themind,oftenunconsciously,leapstowildlyinaccurateandunhelpfulconclusions.Atmomentslikethese,wedon’talwayshavethoughts.Ourthoughtsarehavingus.Wehavetostruggletoregaincontrol.Gradually,forsomepeople,anewcorenarrativeemergesansweringthequestion,“WhatamItodowiththisunexpectedlife?”Newframeworksareimposed,whichreorganizetherelationshipbetweentheeventsofalife.Scholarsdifferoverhowmonposttraumaticgrowthis.ButI’moftenaroundpeoplewhohavethisunwantedwisdom,thatattitudeof“tragicoptimism”thatViktorFrankldescribes,whoseetheirlivesasredemptionstories.【詞匯過關】請寫出下面文單詞在文章中的中文意思。1.straightforward[?stre?t?f??w?d]adj._______________________2.matteroffactlyadv._______________________3.intimate[??nt?m?t]adj._______________________4.singlemindedadj._______________________5.weld[weld]v._______________________6.grieving[?ɡri?v??]n._______________________7.anarchic[??nɑ?k?k]adj._______________________8.vision[?v???n]n._______________________9.disorientation[d?s???ri?n?te???n]n._______________________10.shatter[???t?]v._______________________11.assumption[??s?mp??n]n._______________________12.trauma[?tr??m?]n._______________________13.craft[krɑ?ft]v._______________________；n._______________________14.contradict[?k?ntr??d?kt]v._______________________15.fragmented[fr?ɡ?ment?d]adj._______________________16.cohere[k???h??]v._______________________17.narrative[?n?r?t?v]n._______________________18.leap[li?p]v._______________________19.frameworkn._______________________20.redemption[r??demp??n]n._______________________【詞塊學習】請從文章中找到下面中文相對應的文詞塊。1.整體意義____________________________________________2.使A直面B____________________________________________3.存在性真理____________________________________________4.A和B沖突，抵觸，不兼容____________________________________________5.避之不及的智慧____________________________________________拓展練習閱讀理解Recently,ourschoolheldashowcalled“UsAfterTenYears”,wherethespeakerspresentedwhattheywouldbeeinthefuture.Itwasasortof“ingofage”ceremony.Thestudentrepresentativespredictedtheirfuturecareers.Atfirst,Ididn’tcareabouttheactivity,butjustfourdaysbeforetheceremony,myheadteacheraskedmetotaketheplaceofonestudentwhogotill.Iwasamazed,butIhadnochoice,asitwasanhonortobeasked.“Beconfident,Susan,“sheencouragedme.Therewerethreebarriersduringmypreparation.Firstly,Ididn’thaveaclearcareerpathatthattime.Luckily,myclassmatessuggestedthatIshouldchoosetobeadiplomat,whoispersuasive,hardworking,andenjoyscreativethinking,likeme.Secondly,Ihadtochoosearepresentativescenetoshowmycareer.Myfirstdesignwastoholdapressconference.However,thatwouldhavetakenlongerthanthescheduledtime.Eventually,Idecidedoningbacktomyschoolandgivingaspeechtothecurrentstudentsaboutmyjob.Thirdly,Ihadtodecidethepresentationstyle.Duringmyfirsttwopractices,Itriedtoimitatetheforeignministryspokesmen.ButIfeltembarrassedandcouldn’tfindmyselflikeatruespokespersonwhenspeaking.Itoldmyself,“Youareunique,sojustbeyourselfandcreateyourownstyle.”Finallythedaycame.Wearingauniform,Ipacedbackstagewithmyheartbeatingwildly.Icouldn’tstopthinking,“WillIbetoonervoustospeakfluently?WhatifIdon’tperformlikeadiplomat?Ismyspeechgoodenough?”Tryingtocalmmyselfdown,Itookadeepbreathandthenfeltalittlemorerelaxed.Thencamemytime.Iwalkedsteadilyont
