Upon observing the figure, one quicklysees it as a picture of a sorrowful young boy — a judgment formed withoutdeliberate thought. In his work Thinking, Fast and Slow. (2011), DanielKahneman describes the brain's cognitive(认知的) processes,naming two distinct systems: System 1 and System 2. The photograph is anexample of System 1thinking, characterized by its rapid, intuitive(直觉的), andlargely unconscious nature.

Now, attempt to mentally compute 18×26within 30 seconds, without external aids. Most individuals give up on thistask, which is an example of System 2 thinking. This mode is slow, demanding,and requires conscious effort; pupils even widen during such hard work.

Consider another puzzle: a bat and a balltogether cost $ 1.10. The bat costs $ 1.00 more than the ball. What is theball's price? Many instinctively answer 10 cents, an intuitive yet incorrectresponse. The accurate answer is 5 cents.

While one might assume this mathematicalproblem engages System 2, the reality is that System 1 typically answers firstto any situation. Upon encountering the bat-and-ball problem, System 1 readilysupplies the intuitive answer. With the sense of completion it brings, System2often remains inactive.

Fundamentally, our cognitive machinerytends to save effort. From a biological and evolutionary standpoint, intensemental activity uses a lot of glucose (葡萄糖) resources.

Furthermore, while deeply focused onfinding food, an individual might fail to see an approaching lion.Consequently, the brain frequently turns to the straightforward, automaticresponses offered by System 1, with the more hard-working System 2 often agreeingto its suggestions.

This reliance on System 1 is generallyhelpful, enabling survival, processing vast information flows, and making theworld understandable. You can take advantage of this tendency to makeinstinctive decisions to get people to do things. A request framed simply andintuitively will likely activate System 1 like appealing to people to donate byfeaturing a heartbreaking photo of a single starving child. Conversely, needingcareful thought demands intentionally slowing the process to awaken System 2like investing in a retirement plan; otherwise, the automatic system wins, andits swift, effortless answer carries the day.

We've all heard that sitting too long isbad for you. ___36___ In other words, we're not designed to sit so much.Sitting can reduce our exercise gains and cause butt(臀部)discomfort, and while it might not be “the new smoking”, excessive sitting canshorten your life.

Whether it's bone or joint health, musclemass or energy level, much of what we perceive as aging is heavily influencedby how much we sit. ___37___ Average Americans sit per day may be as long asnine and a half hours. Studies suggest women sit less than men do, but mostagree we all sit more than previous generations did.

___38___ Prolonged sitting raises the riskof developing heart disease or stroke. And the longer you sit, the higher risksit raises, especially if you are sitting for more than 10 hours. Furthermore,your large leg muscles can stop activating after just 30 minutes of sitting,weakening and causing back or knee pain. ___39___ Over time, a sedentary(久坐的)lifestyle can affect your ability to control blood sugar and break down fat,potentially leading to weight gain and Type2 diabetes. American workers today burnabout 100 fewer calories per day than they did 50 years ago.

One way to lower the risk is to add 15 to30 minutes of physical activity per day to your existing routine or go further,doubling the standard weekly exercise recommendations. If you can't manageeither, try adding small periods, spread throughout the day. Perform 10 to 15repetitions of pointing and bending each foot, seated toe raises and marchingin place. Or try a quick exercise snack. ___40___

Years ago, my husband lost his job, andworse still, I lost mine too. Struggling to support our two kids, he job huntedtirelessly and I stayed home making the most of every cent. It was hard to staypositive, but we did our best.

One day I found the milk in the fridge waslukewarm(温热的) butwe could not afford to call a repairman. Anxious, I looked for ways to earnmoney, even a little, maybe to fix the fridge.

Later, I had lunch with a former coworker,who said I'd be good at teaching computer classes. I was good at wordprocessing software but had no teaching experience except in Sunday School.Doubt and fear consumed me. Then I remembered my mom's words, “Can’t nevercould until he tried.” So I decided to give it a try.

I wasn't sure where to start. Finally, Ifinished a plan. The first thing I did was check on the availability and thecost of a meeting room. After securing a room, I got local business addressesfrom the Chamber of Commerce, typed them into my computer to make labels, anddesigned a brochure advertising my class. I folded brochures, stuck on labelsand stamps, and mailed them after praying outside the post office. We couldbarely afford these costs, and I was filled with self-doubt as I waited forresponses. 

On the third day, I got my first response— a check and two registrations. In two weeks, more checks and registrationscame. I had 17 students I then rented computers but couldn't afford delivery.My husband helped me carry and set them up before leaving.

The night before the first-class day,while my family slept, I stayed up late checking my notes. I went over everykeystroke, breaking complex steps into simple ones. I practiced my explanationsout loud, timing myself to be sure I wouldn't run over. I prayed my passionwould make up for my lack of experience.

Fragmentedlearning, in my view, is a highly beneficial supplement to traditional learningin the digital age.

Its greateststrength lies in its flexibility, allowing us to utilize spare moments on busesor during breaks to acquire knowledge through apps or short videos. This methodcan expose us to a wider range of information and help reinforce what we havelearned through repetition.

As long as we haveclear learning goals, fragmented learning can significantly enhance theefficiency of our knowledge acquisition.

I hold a morecautious attitude towards fragmented learning.

The primaryconcern is that it tends to break knowledge into isolated pieces, making itextremely difficult for learners to form a systematic and complete knowledgeframework. Furthermore, learning in fragmented moments is oftenvulnerableto distractions, leading to a lack ofdepth in understanding.

True mastery ofcomplex subjects requires uninterrupted, focused study sessions.

The next daybefore class, standing alone in the classroom, I panicked.Myheart raced as I glanced at the silent computers, each screen a dark mirrorreflecting my anxiety. Doubts flooded my mind: "What if I forget thesteps? What if I can't answer their questions?" My palms were sweaty, andI nervously rearranged the handouts for the tenth time. I thought about myfamily's sacrifices and almost turned to run. Just then, the door creaked open,and the first student walked in with a friendly smile. Taking a deep breath, Iremembered my mother's words, "Can't never could until he tried." Iforced a smile and welcomed them.

As the classended, students' positive words filled the room." Thank you!That was so clear!" one woman said. Another added, "You're a naturalteacher!" A wave of relief and incredible joy washed over me. My initialfear vanished, replaced by a profound sense of accomplishment. I looked attheir satisfied faces and realized that my passion and thorough preparation hadindeed made a difference. In that moment, I knew this was just the beginning.We had overcome a major hurdle, and a new path, filled with possibility, hadopened up for my family and me.
