语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。艺术家可能会陷入一种忘我、不需要思考、忘记时间的状态，灵感会“源源不断”地涌现出来。这种完全投入和毫不费力的专注状态被称为“心流”。它伴随着身体的变化，如呼吸加深和心跳减慢。接着文章介绍了三种找到激发自我心流的方法。
16．选B 根据上文“Such a state of total involvement and effortless concentration is called ‘flow’”．这种完全投入和毫不费力的专注状态被称为“心流”。可知下文继续对Flow进行解释，它不仅仅是一种精神状态，故选B。
17．选C 根据下文“In fact, we all can experience flow whenever we are fully devoted to our work or hobbies or relationships, in mountains and cities alike.”事实上，当我们全身心投入到工作、爱好或人际关系中时，无论是在山区还是在城市，我们都能体验到心流。可知心流并不是只有艺术家独有的，故选C。
18．选F 根据下文“so you'll need to experiment to find what works best for you.”所以你需要做实验来找到对你最起作用的。可知最理想的环境是因人而异的，故选F。
19．选A 根据下文“You need to engage in activities that are meaningful, that you find challenging and for which you have the skills required to come out as winners.”你需要从事有意义的活动，你觉得有挑战性的活动，你有能力成为赢家。即你需要选择一个适合你自己的活动，故选A。
20．选E 根据上文“Gradually the world around melts away and what you are doing becomes worth doing for its own sake.”可知渐渐地，周围的世界都融化了，你所做的事情也就变得有价值了。可推测那么在你意识到之前，你就已经处于心流状态了。故选E。
