Over the years I have been interested to read about studies into the power of touch. A

study found that holding hands to comfort a loved one can actually reduce their pain. Through

a process that’s not fully understood, if one of them is in pain, the pain appears to reduce.

I’ve seen this so many times when the husband or wife of a patient in discomfort reaches

out and holds their hand, and as if by magic, in a few minutes they become less painful.

Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, as we have known for many years about the importance of

touch. It symbolizes safety and love.

The value of touch was proved by a series of experiments on monkeys back in the 1950s

试卷第3页，共10页

by Harry Harlow, an American scientist. His work showed the unbelievable drive for warmth

and intimacy (

亲密

) that we all have. In his experiments, he gave young monkeys a choice

between a “mother” made of wire mesh (

铁丝网

) that had a ready supply of milk and the

other a warm, soft mother that did not provide any food. They chose, to everyone’s surprise,

the comfort over food. This was unexpected because it had always been thought that food was

the main motivator (

动力

) for living creatures. Yet this appeared to show that it was not food,

but being comforted and intimate, that was the most important thing. He described these

experiments as a study of love and they showed for the first time how important the feeling of

being loved is to us. And his idea has been supported by countless further scientific studies.

Personally I find this so comforting. For me, this really speaks of the power of love.

A funny experiment.

Some people might think that young people are too young to know what they want. But

people like Lu Kaigang prove them all wrong.

Lu, 23, a fashion model from China, grew up walking the roads in the countryside in

Guangxi. Now, he walks on some of the largest fashion catwalks in the world.

________. “I have had a supermodel dream since I was 10 while I was still in primary

school. I saw a fashion show on TV and I felt it was so cool to do that on the runway,” Lu

said.

Although Lu didn’t have much money or any professional training, that didn’t stop him

from chasing his dream. Lu collected pieces of cloth from the factory he worked at and made

试卷第4页，共10页

them into outfits

（服装）

. In 2018, he started making videos of himself wearing his

handmade outfits and posted them online.

Lu has what money can’t buy: determination and self-belief. “The early videos I posted

didn’t get many ‘likes’,” Lu said. “But I believed what I was doing would be recognized by

the world someday.”

Lu quit his job at the factory and went back to his hometown to spend time learning how

to be a supermodel. He also began to use other materials for outfits, like plastic bags and even

buckets and kept posting videos of himself online.

About one year later, Lu’s hard work paid off and he became an online star. He’s not

just an ordinary model. His one-of-a-kind clothes show off his talent and creativity, and his

videos are mostly filmed on village dirt roads, adding a different and fresh background.

We can be sure that if Lu hadn’t followed his heart at a young age, he wouldn’t be where he

is today.

Losing your phone is a pity, but I did just that when I got into a taxi and closed the door

heavily. I heard a loud noise. It was the sound of my phone’s screen breaking. Besides the

sound of breaking glass, the other sound I heard was my own voice saying, “Oh, no! What

have I done?”

试卷第5页，共10页

So, for the next day, I had to live without a phone: no calls, no texts, no social media.

And what I discovered was that I really didn’t miss making phone calls or getting text

messages or reading social media posts. It was actually relaxing. For that whole day, I was

able to stop living in a “virtual” world and start living in the “real” world.

Smartphones have changed the way we live. They are sources of communication,

information and entertainment. All of these things are good, but too much of these things can

also be bad. There is a chemical in your brain called dopamine (

多巴胺

). Activities like

watching videos cause your brain to get this chemical. It gives you pleasure. For many

people, these feelings of “pleasure” will increase the more they use their smartphones. This

explains why you may feel upset when you can’t use yours. You have, in fact, become

addicted (

上瘾

) to dopamine, the “happy hormone”. To treat this increasingly common

addiction, some places are experimenting with the idea of “no digital hours”. In the Indian

village of Vadgaon, for example, people are being forced to turn off their phones and TVs

from to 8: every night.

Smartphones are great, but you should be smart about using them. Put them away in

your pocket for a while and enjoy the but you should still be careful about

getting into taxis.
