逐题讲解
(2023·无锡二模改编) The typical image of a knitter may be a white-haired lady. But in the 1940s, young male Royal Air Force pilots used needles as they waited for their next task. Wartime pilots crashed a lot and knitting helped rebuild flexibility (灵活性) in wounded arms and meanwhile calm wounded minds. They were the basis of early career therapy.
There is increasing evidence that practising creative and meaningful jobs can have a positive influence on health and well-being. Career therapist Jill Riley was part of a team from Cardiff University that surveyed more than 3,500 knitters worldwide and found that the more often people knitted, the calmer and happier they felt. Knitting in a group created happiness, improved social contact and communication with others. As one person surveyed put it, "That rhythm of making stitch (针脚) after stitch is like deep breathing. It's a flow where you don't have to stress about it and you've got the rhythm happening."
"Flow" is an invention first named by the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. As he wrote in his book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, "The best moments in our lives are not the passive or relaxing times. The best moments usually happen if a person's body or mind is in a voluntary effort to complete something difficult and worthwhile. During the flow, attention is freely paid to achieving a person's goal because there is no disorder to strengthen out or no threat (威胁) for the self to guard against."
"When a person can organize his or her mind so as to experience flow as often as possible, the quality of life starts to improve." An artist, Shauna Richardson, knows just how true this is. The artist spent 18 months in a state of flow when she knitted three seven-metre-long lions for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
To complete the task, she says she had to fix all her attention and keep a state of mind driven by rhythm and process (过程). Csikszentmihalyi also describes the opposite to flow. He points out that although people are healthier and live longer, they often end up feeling anxious and bored, and they are usually cut off from satisfying work.
Because knitting is so accessible (可到达的) —as its heart is two sticks and one stitch—it helps people build confidence in their abilities. After all, if you make a mistake, you can just pull it all out and start again.
