The way the mind wrks is heavily influenced by culture, accrding t University f Michigan psychlgist Richard Nisbett, authr f The Gegraphy f Thught: Hw Asians and Westerners Think Differently... and Why.
Richard Nisbett says that tw peple frm different cultures can lk at the same picture and see it in different ways. Culture als teaches peple hw t see and describe their experiences. Nisbett explains that Asians think differently frm Westerners because their culture teaches them t be mre aware f sciety, family, and histrical backgrund. Western culture, and especially American culture, tends t pay mre attentin t individual (个人的) success and being independent f family.
Nisbett argues that culture makes East Asians mre hlistic r glbal thinkers: When trying t understand a situatin, they like t see the whle picture. They trust feelings and pay attentin t relatinships because these are valued highly in their culture.
Hwever, Nisbett’s research has shwn that Westerners tend t be mre analytic (善于分析的). When they try t understand smething, Westerners usually prefer t analyze small pieces f infrmatin first and build their knwledge piece by piece in rder t understand the whle picture.
In study after study, Nisbett and clleagues frm China, the Republic f Krea, and Japan fund that East Asians and Americans respnded in different ways t the same situatin. In ne experiment, Japanese and Americans viewed the same animated underwater scenes, and reprted what they had seen. In the experiment, mst f the Americans started by explaining the details, fr example, saying there were large fish in the frnt n the right. Hwever, the Japanese talked abut the envirnment first, mentining that there was a pnd r a fish tank. The Japanese als talked mre abut the envirnment and inanimate (无生命的) bjects than the Americans, fr example, “The big fish swam past the gray seaweed.” This research prves the traditinal idea that Americans are less interested in scial backgrund and place imprtance n the individual. The Japanese, n the ther hand, place mre imprtance n scial backgrund.
27．Nisbett may agree ______.
A．Asians pay less attentin t sciety
B．Westerners fcus mre n individual success
C．Asians are less aware f histrical backgrund
D．Westerners are mre dependent n their families
28．The wrd “hlistic” in Paragraph 3 prbably means “______”.
A．analysing a small pieceB．achieving a big success
C．cnsidering a whle thingD．valuing a gd relatinship
29．Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A．Thinking Highly Enriches Culture
B．Culture Heavily Influences Thinking
C．Thinking Pushes Culture t Prgress
D．Culture Matters Mre than Thinking
D
Awe is the feeling we get in the presence f smething vast that challenges ur understanding f the wrld, like lking up at millins f stars in the night sky r shaking hands with a basketball superstar. When peple feel awe, they may use ther wrds t talk abut the experience, such as wnder, amazement r excitement.
We ften think abut awe when we experience uncmmn and extrardinary events, such as viewing a sunrise ver the Grand Canyn r watching Olympians break wrld recrds. But when scientists study peple's experiences f awe, they suggest awe is als fund in everyday life—watching a gingk tree change frm green t yellw, r seeing a stranger give fd t a hmeless persn.
The feeling f awe affects the way we view urselves. The experience f awe can have a deep influence n ur mental(心理的) health, by allwing us t put ur wrries int perspective. When we are in the presence f smething vast and indescribable, we feel unimprtant, and s d ur wrries. The experience f awe lifts us ut f the cmmn practical thughts that cntrl ur daily lives. and it allws us t have inner peace.
In areas where the ppulatin can easily get t beautiful green spaces, peple reprt greater happiness and gdwill tward thers. A study shwed that lder adults wh tk weekly 15-minute utdr walks in nature fr eight weeks reprted increased psitive emtins and less pain in their daily lives.
Peple in awe are mre likely t shw kindness and feel a greater sense f cnnectin t thers and the wrld. In mments f awe, we direct urselves frm the sense that we are slely(独自地) in cntrl f ur wn future t the feeling we are part f a cmmunity. When we give less attentin t ur wn gals and needs, we are mre likely t be able t ntice thers and what they may be experiencing.
In sum, awe arises when we run int the wnders f life and leads t a disappearing f the self. Stepping utside f neself is a valuable skill. It is pssible t find awe-inspiring mments in all different places. Therefre, actively lk fr the experiences that feed yur wn hunger fr awe, be it thrugh admiring the trees in yur neighbrhd, r seeing the gdness in thers. Take the time t slw dwn and pen yur mind t thse things which yu d nt fully understand. Yu will be the better fr it—and, as yur feelings f awe spread thrugh acts f kindness, s will the rest f us.

Dctrs in Bristl can send patients n a free curse g this mnth, which uses stand-up cmedy t help patients wh are fighting with trauma(创伤). The curse was pineered by a cmedian, Belcher.
It's believed that cmedy is in every ne f us, and we are all brn cmedians. Every night we cme hme frm wrk and tell ur family what ur days were like, but n the way hme we'll wrk n the details, and try t make ur stries funnier t amuse ur families. Accrding t Angie Belcher, prfessinal cmedy educatin is t give peple the tls t make the stries better. The curse is a cmbinatin f psychlgy(心理学), cmedy and strytelling and it will last six weeks.
In fact, past traumas are perfect fr cmedy. Cmedy desn't cme frm the happy, perfect mments f ur lives, but frm ur everyday life events. Peple wh've been thrugh big life experiences, such as the death f a clse friend and pr health, ften can't wait t share their stries, mstly because there's always smething strangely funny abut the situatin. Experts say that we can accept and hnr the cmedy f a situatin, as much as the sadness f it. It's a shrt perid f rest frm smething unpleasant.
Angie, wh has a master's degree in psychlgy, says the curse is fr anyne wh is ready t explre their trauma thrugh cmedy. It can be taken by peple in recvery frm mental health prblems and peple wh've had trauma. There's lts f ne-t-ne help in the rm t. The cmedians give peple a hand t write their cmedy and explre sme dark times frm their histry.
While the curse can't take the place f medical treatment, talking abut ur trauma in a funny way indeed helps. Cmedy can help t build cmmunity. When we bring ur stries alive fr thers, it makes ther peple feel less alne. Having ur experiences minred back t us is hugely cmfrting.
