Imagine yourself on a boat looking out at the horizon and all you can see is the water meeting the sky with no land in sight and you are sailing straight ahead to meet the world. Jesse Martin does not have to imagine: he is living in it.

On Dec. 7, 1998, at 17 years old, Jesse set sail from Melbourne, Australia on his boat, attempting to bee the youngest person to sail alone and nonstop around the world. He sailed south of New Zealand, through the South Pacific, around South America, north on the Atlantic, back south past Africa, through the Indian Ocean and back to Melbourne. Even as a young child, Jesse had been an adventurer who traveled all over Europe and Asia with his parents. Born in Munich, Germany in 1981, he moved to Australia with his family when he was only two years old. They moved close to a rainforest in Cow Bay, about 3,500kms north of Melbourne, where they built a small house with no electricity or running water. Jesse grew up at the beach enjoying the outdoors to its fullest. At 14, he sailed for the first time with his father and brother, Beau. It was after this trip that he began to dream about sailing around the world.

Jesse’s family played an important role. “I was made to believe I could do anything, although there were others that were not so encouraging or supportive” he says. “People that I looked up to, respected and trusted told me I couldn’t. Thankfully, I trusted myself. There were people that said that the boat couldn’t be ready by the time I had to leave.” However, through perseverance(坚持不懈) and belief in himself, he was able to do what many told him was impossible.

On Oct.31, 1999, more than 10 months after he set sail, Jesse Martin went down in history as the youngest person to sail around the world alone, nonstop and unassisted.

How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?

Although you might be embarrassed（尴尬的） to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry. Psychological findings have shown it’s pletely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from getting a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more.

According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈回路) in the teens’ brains were particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were active when they received “likes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might e from plete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally. However, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention. In “Why do people desire attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he

explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radiant said people who were an only child used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.

In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-respect but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing（追赶，追求） self-respect,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues. So, perhaps the answer to our addiction to “likes” is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves — a hard, but a worthy one. 32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “derive” in Paragraph 2? A. Deliver. B. Get.

C. Drive.

D. Prevent.

33. According to passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Parts of the brain bee cleverer when receiving “likes”. B. Those who lack social recognition may expect attention. C. “Thumbs up” from strangers can help you get more attention. D. Being eager for attention shows that you are an only child.

34. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s addiction to getting “thumbs up”? A. Critical.

B. Favorable.

C. Unconcerned.

D. Supportive.

35. We can know from the last paragraph that __________.

A. focusing on one’s self-respect is quite necessary and natural B. pursuing self-respect is pletely harmful to one’s goals C. it is helpful to set goals concerning making contributions D. checking your Moments or Facebook page is a waste of time
