  1. A new study has discovered that meditation(冥想)and oxygen sport together reduce depression. The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months, reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent.

    “We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students,” said lead author Dr. Brandon Alderman. “It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression.”

    Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in combating depression. Alderman and Dr. Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training (MAP) enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.

    Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport. They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing, enabling those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention.

    Shors, who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus—part of the brain involved in memory and learning—says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.

    The idea for the human intervention(干预)came from her laboratory studies, she says, with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.

    By learning to focus their attention and exercise, people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past, Shors says.

    “We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be effective in improving mental health.” said Alderman. “The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”

    1.What made the research so different?

    A. Adopting a way of meaningful talk.

    B. Combining the two behavioral ways to treat depression.

    C. Treating depression with special medicine.

    D. Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed.

    2.The underlined word “combating” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ______.

    A. fighting   B. identifying

    C. distinguishing   D. examining

    3.What did the participants do in the research?

    A. They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.

    B. They thought quietly and then took exercise.

    C. They took exercise longer than they thought.

    D. They took exercise while thinking quietly.

    4.What is Shors’ main purpose of her studies?

    A. To find out certain brain cells of humans.

    B. To study the production of new brain cells.

    C. To offer people a new method to treat stress.

    D. To decide the links between stress and exercise.

  4. The loneliest chimp(黑猩猩)in the world just got the best surprise—a hug from a new friend.Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years,finding himself alone after his wife and children died on the island where they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago.

    For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso’s only company,visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread—the chimp’s only source of food on the tiny island.It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand.The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him,with his smile from ear to ear.

    For those who know Ponso’s backstory,his immediate ease and trust in humans might be surprising.Ponso was one of 20 chimps,all between the ages of 7 to 11 years old,relocated to an island off the Ivory Coast after being used for testing by the New York Blood Centre.After the tests were completed in 2005,the lab reportedly transferred the chimps to a string of islands,occasionally dropping off food and water because there was none in the chimps’ new homes.

    Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso,his mate and their two children standing.But at the end of 2013 they died within days of each other and Ponso was now completely alone.

    A group called SOS PONSO is trying to raise money for the poor lonely chimp,already achieving its goal of $20,000—all of which will be used for Ponso’s care.

    1.What do we know about the chimp Ponso?

    B.How Ponso came to the island.

    C.Why Ponso was used for a test.

    D.The medical test about chimps.
