21、If your friendships are going to last a long time, you simply have to accept that things will always change. But never fear.【1】 Here is a little of their advice.
Start with the friendship triangle.
Shasta Nelson is a friendship expert who gives a concept called the “friendship triangle”.【2】 Anyway, the base is positivity, and two sides of the triangle are consistency (一致性) and vulnerability (脆弱性). If your friendship has something wrong, it’s much easier to see what is off balance and adjust in time.
Figure out what you value.
Another helpful tool comes from Rachel Wilkerson Miller. Wilkerson Miller recommends looking at friendships through your TME — time, money and energy. “Those are your most valuable resources,” she says, “Think about where your TME is going, how you’re spending it and who you’re giving it to.” 【3】
Don’t be afraid to ask for things.
【4】 Being direct can feel awkward, but if you get in the habit of stating your needs, you can avoid a pile of hate much later on. “Ask for exactly what you need,” Havrilesky, a famous writer, says, “sometimes it can work like medicine. So ask!”
【5】During long life, you go through a lot of different versions of yourself. That can mean that sometimes, a friend is only present for a certain chapter—and that is OK.
A.Not every friend is going to be there forever.
B.We offer some advice from experts to help you deal with the shifts in your friendship.
C.Friendship is like a ship to carry you further.
D.The friendship triangle is made of three equally long sides.
E.If you waste these resources, it might be time to shift the relationship.
F.You should get comfortable asking for what you need.
22、 A few days after dropping off her daughter at college, Andrea got a phone call. Her daughter was ill. Andrea drove there immediately, located a doctor in town, booked a room at the university hotel and put her daughter to bed to recover. The next morning, Andrea went to her daughter's classes, taking notes on her behalf. It was important that her daughter headed into the first semester of college without missing a beat: A future dental career required an extremely good undergraduate academic record of four years.
At the same time, another parent faced a different type of problem. Alexis had handpicked her daughter's new university specifically and aimed to give her daughter an ideal social experience at college. But when she got there, she didn't seem to hit her stride. Alexis blamed it on a working-class roommate who didn't ever want to go out to meet people-and told her daughter, in no uncertain terms, to change roommates.
Both Andrea and Alexis are examples of 'helicopter parents', defined by their hovering and readiness with supplies, assistance and guidance. Their interventions were costly-requiring time, financial reserves, social understanding and knowledge of higher education-though they had different purposes.
Why does educational and professional success today seem to require financial and emotional parental support? In large part, it reflects the shifting relationship between families and the university in America in the past century. Slowly after WWI and rapidly after WWII, many public universities were in fact free, as the government offered universities the resources to help families battle economic depression and poverty. However, in the 1980s, the government shifted financial aid largely from grants to loans. Soon, universities entered a period of heavy and expensive administrative growth as they faced new and intensive pressures. Without the support of the state, families eventually came to absorb many of these costs.
Universities now rely, in part, on parents, particularly those with money, time, and connections to meet their basic needs. However, paying parents bring more than funds alone. They often help promote the university; conduct admissions interviews; interface with donating alumni; assist with their own students’ emotional, cognitive and physical needs and help place graduates(both related and not) in valuable internships and jobs.
But the new family-university partnership exacts a toll. Parents are pushed to extend major parenting responsibilities into doing heavy financial lifting for their children who are supposed to be building their own financial security. There is also some truth to the notion that the helicoptered children are slow to adapt to adulthood, make decisions about their careers, and manage friendships without calling on their parents for help.
【1】What does the underlined sentence 'she didn't seem to hit her stride' in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Alexis' daughter's social competence wasn't promoted.
B.Alexis' daughter found she herself had financial difficulties.
C.Alexis' daughter disagreed with Alexis about her working-class roommate.
D.Alexis' daughter found university life was different from what she had expected.
【2】What's the author' attitude towards 'helicopter parents'?
A.Critical. B.Cautious. C.Doubtful. D.Objective.
【3】What's this passage mainly about?
A.Troubles faced by universities in America.
B.The partnership between colleges and ''helicopter parents'.
C.The troubled relationship between parents and their children.
D.The fierce competition among the career-minded generation.
23、Millions watch the Oscars every year, but I'm always interested in the Razzies (金酸梅奖), which recognize cinematic underachievement. For all the attention given to what we like, what we dislike can be just as important, interesting and empowering.
French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu saw dislike as snobbery. He saw all judgments of taste, favorable or not, as performances of class. The rich could justify their place, he argued, by claiming to have more refined tastes. Knowing which literature or art to praise could signal to. others their rightful place at the top of society. Oversimplified his theory might be, it is not entirely wrong.
Furthermore, dislikes are often used as a way not to stand apart but to fit in. It means learning the unspoken rules of what's OK to like or dislike, and to proclaim those likes or dislikes loudly for others to hear. When some of us swim against the social tide, we might be savvy (精明的) enough to label our likes as "guilty pleasures", which both acknowledges the rules and apologizes for violating them.
In my research, though, I found that dislike isn't just a form of snobbery.
We interviewed over 200 people, a diverse group in race, age, and social class. All the interviewees tended to actively dislike media content far more when they felt they couldn't escape it. Many people can't choose the radio station that's playing at work, or what's on TV at the bar. Moreover, some of us are subjected to more annoyance than others. Remote controls, for instance, have long been seen as a special right of dads, with women and kids given less power to change the channel. Everyone turns to media hoping for specific needs to be met, but those who have those needs realized less often are those who might dislike more often.
Therefore, speaking about dislikes is an act of resistance—a refusal to allow public space to be conquered by the media content that doesn't connect.
Dislike can certainly transform into anger or hate, but it may also take a more playful form. Sometimes we could see people joyfully watch the object of their dislike and offer a commentary of criticism, instead of tuning out and turning off. Why? Reveling in dislike can help regain control in a world that overwhelms everyone with content. Keeping the despised shows at hand rather than avoiding them can help the dislikers speak up in the court of public opinion. Or some might enjoy their dislikes as a way to avoid ruining certain relationships. Many of us can probably relate to the experience of having a friend who insists we watch something against our will.
What if, rather than resenting the show or the person, we simply embrace it in all of its embarrassing glory? By all means, pay attention to the advice to "ignore the haters". But a lot can be learned by listening to the dislikers.
【1】According to Paragraph 3, people label their likes as "guilty pleasures" when they_________.
A.follow the mainstream
B.take pride in their taste
C.set up the unspoken rules
D.try to fit into a certain group
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Dislikes can he found mostly among the rich.
B.Learning about literature and art is an act of snobbery.
C.Expressing dislike helps maintain one's social relationships
D.Exposure to unwanted media content intensifies people's dislike.
【3】What does the underlined phrase "Reveling in" in the text probably mean?
A.Taking delight in
B.Showing concern for.
C.Drawing lessons from.
D.Establishing connection to
【4】What message does the author try to convey in this passage?
A.We are encouraged to launch debates over hot issues in public.
B.Staying away from the haters is a sensible means to avoid trouble.
C.Embracing our dislikes can be a way to deal with power imbalance
D.The media should aim to meet the needs of different groups of audience.
24、 Our mother didn’t trust us, my sister and me, to manage our own appearance when we were young. As a result, there were rules, and trends were largely ignored.
A few years ago, I was home for a visit when my mom, now in her early70s, called me into her bedroom. We were about ready to leave for dinner. “I don’t know what to wear,” she complained from her seat. “You girls always look so good.”
I paused in the doorway and looked at her, wondering if I’d misheard. “What do you mean?” I asked her. “You know what to wear.”
“No,” she answered. “I don’t. Can you pick something?”
I was so surprised.
This was the same woman who, in 1989, told my younger sister she wasn’t allowed to leave the house wearing a pair of ripped (有破洞的) jeans; the same woman who, in high school, called me while I was out at a party to ask if my hair was up. “You look better with it down.” she told me before I could answer.
I realized, suddenly, that my mother—always so strong—not only wanted my opinion, but needed my care.
I pulled a pair of blue jeans from the closet and a light blue sweater from her drawer. “Wear this with your black shoes.” I told her. She did.
My mother certainly doesn’t need anyone to take care of her. In fact, she still cares for my grandmother who lives with her. But with that one question, my mother and I started the role reversal (改变) that happens with all parents and all children, from caregiver to receiver.
Now, if I’m visiting or we’re together, it’s rare for her to wear anything without checking with me first.
I’m still always a bit surprised by her admission of the uncertainty.
But every so often, it seems like she asks me just to be able to disagree with my answer and pick out something on her own. And when she does, I just tell her what I think of the way she looks. Sometimes it’s “great” and sometimes it’s “awful”.
