In 1979,
15、when Kiska was three years old, she was caught from the North Atlantic Ocean and taken to an aquarium in Iceland. She lived with four other young killer whales, including Keiko, the future star of the “Free Willy” movies. In the same year, she and Keiko were sold to a theme park in Canada called Mar
16、ineland. The pair lived there together in the 1980s. Keiko was later saved and sent to the ocean near Iceland, but Kiska had to spend her whole life in Marineland. Kiska suffered a lot while living in Marineland. She was trained to perform for the public for nearly thirty years, even in a bad health
17、 condition. Throughout her life in captivity, she gave birth to five babies. Sadly, all of them died at young ages. After that, Kiska lived alone in the pool. No family members swam by her side. No friends invited her to play. She really wanted to go back to the ocean, but she couldnt. Killer whales
18、 are able to feel deep emotions better than humans, so it is hard to imagine the trauma Kiska experienced. She spent her final years swimming in endless circles or simply floating lifelessly.

22、ost yourself in doing something so that you lost track of time? Everything around youfrom the ringing of phones to the people passing in the hallwaysseemed to be away. Most of us have had this experience at one time or another. This is a mental state called “flow”. When it happens, we completely foc
23、us on the task before us so that nothing else seems to matter. We feel energetic, even joyful, about what we are doing. The idea of flow was introduced and first studied by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihlyi. His flow model shows the emotional states, which were likely to experience when trying to
24、complete a task, depend on the difficulty of the challenge and our skill levels. For example, if the task is low challenging and doesnt require a lot of skills, were likely to feel apathy and bored towards it. But facing a challenging task without the required skills could easily result in worry and
25、 anxiety. To perform at our best, we need a task with a high difficulty level, and we believe we have well-developed skills to do it. This moves us to a position where we can experience “flow”. _? During flow, people can improve performance and get better result, faster. For instance, artists who Cs
26、ikszentmihlyi interviewed, said that they were highly productive, and that their work was done perfectly “without putting in much effort” in the flow state. Flow can also make people more curious and creative because they have to seek new challenges and information to keep the state. With flow, peop
27、le have greater levels of happiness and satisfaction in their activities. Flow often happens during creative activities and sports activities. But flow states arent just something experienced by artists, writers, or sports persons. Flow can happen anytime a person is deeply engaged in a task, includ
28、ing during learning activities. Many people want to achieve flow more often in their daily lives. While doing a task, having clear plans, adding something challenge-able and giving and receiving feedback in time can help achieve flow. Its more difficult to achieve flow if the focus is disturbed, so
29、its necessary that smartphones, TV and other distractions get turned off.23. When people are in flow, they _.A. need to dicuss on the phoneB. focus on the time oftenC. give full attention to their tasksD. notice others passing by24.
