Having our social minds constantly set to “on” doesn’t give a chance for us to rest and replenish, so there is an argument for temporary isolation. Solitude does help productivity and self-discovery, it also encourages deep thinking, and it helps people work through problems more effectively. This is why great scientists like Einstein, artists such as Van Gogh, and religious leaders such as Buddha, spend a lot of time working out problems by themselves.
练习题目：
Do you like being alone or with others?
Um..I have to admit that I’m not a very sociable person, well, it doesn’t mean I have no friends. Just, sometimes I may enjoy some me-time or solitude. I may feel exhausted if the social mode is always set to “on” and I think many people may agree with me that a certain degree of solitude does help productivity and self-discovery, well, also deep thinking, so...yeah, I may prefer being alone from time to time.
