When I was young, I loved going for a trail(小路) run. It was my favorite way to escape

stress. So, when I was back in my hometown after a tough first year of my Ph. D. program, I

thought a trail run was just what I needed. But instead of helping me relax, the run did just the

opposite.

After I moved to the city for college, where my runs were on flat concrete paths instead of

winding dirt trails, I used a GPS watch. When I went for a trail run again in the country, the

watch constantly reminded me of the fact that I wasn’t keeping up my usual pace. I turned my

watch off, thinking that would allow me to enjoy my surroundings and find the peace I

expected, but I still worried that I was underperforming. “Why can’t I let go and just enjoy

myself?” I wondered. After some introspection(反省), I realized why I was struggling —both

on trail runs and in graduate school.

When starting my Ph.D., I had thought that my solid postgraduate track record would set me

up for instant success. To my surprise, I was wrong. I lacked confidence in my research

abilities which I thought stopped me performing well and I constantly felt my progress was too

slow. Other students’ self-confidence and their excellent results made me feel insecure. Finally,

one day I broke down in tears in my tutor’s office.

Then came my visiting home. I was having trouble because I hadn’t properly adjusted my

expectations to the differences between an urban run and a trail run.

A Ph. D. is like a trail run. Sometimes you can run fast. Sometimes you might find yourself

climbing up a steep, winding trail at a snail’s pace. But that’s OK. Barriers are unavoidable,

and success looks and feels different on a challenging trail than it does on a smooth, flat path.

Sometimes it’s best to take a deep breath and do your best to meet the challenge.

4. How did the author feel when he went for a trail run again?

A. Anxious.

B. Relaxed.

C. Happy.

D. Tired.

5. What resulted in the author’s poor performance in the Ph. D.?

A. His lack of hard work.

B. His lack of confidence.

C. His poor research abilities.

D. His poor track record.

6. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?

A. His desire for success.

B. His confidence in trail runs.

C. His expectations in his study.

D. His realization after the trail run.

7. What does the author want to tell us?

A. Failure is the mother of success.

B. Working our regularly is beneficial.

C. It is vital to turn to others for help.

D. It’s important to make necessary adjustments.

Elephants are often seen comforting upset individual elephants with a gentle touch of their

trunks reportedly. It’s one thing to witness something that looks like comforting behavior, but

another thing to prove that this is what elephants are doing. Now, scientists have shown that Asian

elephants do indeed get upset when they see others in trouble, and they reach out to comfort them.

Elephants, thus, join the list of other animals, including dogs, wolves and some birds, which have

been shown to do so.

Elephants’ responses to stress are difficult to explore because one has to wait for opportunities

for these arising naturally in the wild. However, Joshua Plotnik, a scientist at Mahidol University in

Thailand got around this problem. He compared Asian elephants’ behaviors during times of stress

to those during periods when little upsets them. For 1 to 2 weeks every month for nearly a year,

Plotnik spent 30 to 180 minutes daily watching and recording the behavior of 26 Asian elephants

living in Elephant Natural Park in northern Thailand.

Other researchers have previously shown that when upset, an elephant moves its ears and raises

its tail; it may also make a low sound to show its stress. “When elephants in the park see an

elephant behaving in this manner, they typically respond by feeling the same emotion,” Plotnik said,

“just as we do when watching a scary movie together. If an actor is frightened, our hearts race and

we reach for each other’s hands — a reaction known as ‘emotional contagion(情绪感染)’.”

“But more studies are needed, preferably in wild populations,” Plotnik said. “What is unclear is

whether these responses primarily benefit the upset animals, or the responders,” Shermin de Silva,

a behavioral ecologist, said. However, the study “provides a very interesting first exploration into

the behavior of elephants suffering from stress,” said Graeme Shannon, a scientist at Colorado

State University.

8. What does the underlined phrase “got around” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Overcame. B. Faced. C. Found. D. Raised.

9. Why did Plotnik mention the “watching a scary movie” situation?

A. To explain a rule.
