In 1972, Richard Sears, a young American began learning Chinese

because of his interest in traditional Chinese culture. He went to China to

study Chinese in the 1990s.

In 1994, Richard Sears decided to put the ancient Chinese characters

online. Then, in 2023, he did it. That is the beginning of the Chinese

Etymology（汉字字源）website. "My website did not get much attention

for the next few years. Until one day in 2023, it suddenly got a lot of

attention. I got a few thousand emails, and a few million visitors and

people started calling me 'Uncle Hanzi'," Sears said with a smile. Hanzi

means Chinese characters. He has put more than 96,000 ancient Chinese

characters onto the website. "When I study each character, I wonder

what the ancient Chinese thought," said Sears.

After visiting many Chinese cities, Sears learned more about China and

ancient Chinese culture. He said when he came to China in the last

century, few Chinese could speak good English. "However, you can hear

English in many places in China now. Chinese language and culture were

mysterious and not known by people in most countries then, but now,

第 5 页 共 17 页

more and more people in the world are learning Chinese, even Chinese

history, traditional Chinese medicine and so on," Sears added.

At present, the 70-year-old American has made his home in China.

"When I die, I hope my website will live on, and I'm planning to write a

book about my research. This will be my gift to China." he said.

During the COVID-19 pandemic（大流行病）, many people under

第 6 页 共 17 页

lockdown feel lonely and bored. "There is a loneliness（孤独）epidemic

（流行病）," said John Dattilo from Pennsylvania State University, US.

So he, together with an international team of researchers, studied how

to reduce（降低）loneliness during the pandemic.

According to their new study, reducing loneliness has something to do

with doing enjoyable activities that need both concentration（注意力）

and skills.

"When people concentrate on what they are doing, they enter a state

（状态）called 'flow（心流）' Dattilo explained. "Flow can be achieved by

doing activities that we value and that ask us to concentrate fully to use

our skills."

To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the

challenge（挑战）of the task and your skill level. For example, if you're

trying to create a complex（复杂的）computer program but your skill

level is low, then you're likely to feel stressed instead of achieving "flow".

On the contrary（相反地）, if the task is too easy, then boredom will start

and "flow" will not appear, either.

If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting can

lead to flow. So can things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending

on who you are.

"When we enter a state of flow, we experience momentary（片刻的）

enjoyment." Dattilo said. "When we leave a state of flow, we are often

第 7 页 共 17 页

surprised by how much time has passed."

However, watching television usually doesn't help people enter flow,

according to Dattilo, because there aren't any challenges.

"People tend to thrive（茁壮成长）on healthy activities and challenge,"

said Dattilo. "We hope this research will help people live fuller, happier,

healthier lives."

24. What did Dattilo study

A. Why people feel lonely. B. How to reduce loneliness.

C. What enjoyable activities are. D. Why people like a new challenge.

25. How do people feel when they enter the "flow" state

A. They are concentrating and happy. B. They feel time passes too

quickly.

C. They feel stressed and tired. D. They are lonely and bored.

26. Which activity is possible to help people achieve flow

A. Writing. B. Eating nuts. C. Watching TV. D. Chatting.

27. What can we do to reduce loneliness according to Dattilo

A. Follow a healthy lifestyle. B. Learn as many skills as possible.

C. Do some enjoyable and challenging tasks. D. Complete impossible

challenges.
