Nature soothes(抚慰)our stressed-out souls. We know that nature is the best prescription, and new research suggests we can gain benefits while visiting parks.
1.The study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research found that spending 20 minutes in a city park can make you happier, regardless of whether you use that time to exercise or not.
"In general,we found park visitors reported an improvement in emotional well-being(幸福感)after the park visit.”the study's lead author and University of Alabama at Birmingham professor Hon K. Yuen said in a statement.“2.”Instead, we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well-being.”
For the study, 94 adults visited three city parks in Mountain Brook, Alabama, completing a questionnaire about their subjective well-being before and after their visit. 3. A visit of between 20 and 25 minutes showed the best results, with a roughly 64% increase in the participants' self-reported well-being, even if they didn't move a great deal in the park. 4.
The study group was truly small. as the study's co-author and another UAB professor, Gavin Jenkins, acknowledges. 5.The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the decrease of these spaces.
A. Something was used to track their physical activity.
B. You usually visit a small green space in your neighborhood.
C. However, its findings pointed out the importance of city parks.
D. If you want to feel happier, you just need to exercise for 20 minutes in a park.
E. The best part is that you needn't visit a national park or go far out of your way.
F. This means people can benefit from visiting a nearby park, regardless of physical ability.
G. But we didn't find levels of physical activity are linked to improved emotional well-being.

We all wish for the arrival of Sunday. 1. The hard work of a busy week is soothed (抚慰) by a good sleep that lasts, in most cases, till the Sunday afternoon. But after that, too much sleep can make the rest of the day generally end in lazing around the sofa, without doing anything.
Therefore, to really relax on a Sunday, the answer doesn’t lie in sleep, but in doing things that provides a soothing touch. Most often we get so lost in work that when Sunday comes, we really don’t know what to do with the free twenty-four hours we’ve got. 2. Luckily, there are many things you can do to enjoy your Sunday.
3. An early morning jog would restore your tiredness caused by the daily schedule. After the morning walk, you’ll have more energy to face the day head on.

With life being filled with too much work, finding free time during the working days is surely a struggle. 5.

We know that sugary sodas aren’t good for our bodies. Now it turns out that they may not be good for our minds, either. A new study of more than 260,000 people has found a link between sweetened soft-drinks and depression, and diet sodas may be making matters worse.
Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries— as much as 170 liters per person per year. But the impact of this study isn’t limited to the United States. “Sweetened drinks, coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences. And they may have important mental-health consequences as well,” study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statement.
The study studied 263,925 people between the ages of 50 and 71. Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda, tea coffee, and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then. 10 years later, asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. More than 11,3000 of them had.
Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all. People who stuck with fruit punch(鸡尾酒), had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didn’t drink sweetened drinks. And all that extra sugar isn’t the actual problem. Researchers say that the artificial sweetener aspartame may be to blame.
The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression. Still, the results “are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes.”
But there’s a bright side for those who can’t live without their daily sodas. Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didn’t drink any coffee, according to the study. “Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk,” said Chen.
1.What has the new study of more than 260,000 people found?
A. Sugary sodas aren’t good for the physical health of old people.
B. Americans have a special tooth for sweet foods.
C. Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression.
D. Sweetened soft-drinks have important physical consequences.
2.What do we know about the process of the study?
A. About twenty-six thousand people participated in it.
B. The oldest participants were below 80 when the study was over.
C. Most of the participants had depression when the study was over.
D. The study lasted more than ten years from the beginning to the end.
3.We infer that the underlined word “aspartame” in Paragraph 4 refers to something that _____.
A. can reduce the harm of sweetened drinks
B. is used to reduce the risk of depression
C. is mainly used to make fruit punch
D. is used to make something .sweet
4.It is implied in the passage that ______.
A. more research is needed to confirm the new findings
B. the new findings aren’t consistent with any previous findings
C. cutting one’s sodas intake will surely reduce one’s depression
D. the new findings won’t have an impact on people’s drinking habits
5.What should you drink in order to reduce the risk of depression?

We already know that exercise is good for our bodies. Daily exercise fights the loss of muscle tone and flexibility that tends to increase slowly with age. And it turns out that it has the same fountain-of-youth effects on our brains.
Studies show that over time our minds also become less flexible and nimble. We lose the ability to process new information or switch between mental tasks quickly — and now we know why.
A recent study examined nearly 100 individual studies on exercise and brain function and discovered exercising an average of 52 hours over six months is "associated with improved cognitive(认知的)performance in older adults with and without cognitive damage." The type of exercises that are beneficial include aerobic, strength-training and mind-body.
In previous studies, researchers from Japan's University of Tsukuba wanted to explore this idea by looking at the effect of exercise on this weakening of the brain. They tested the oxygen ability of 60 Japanese men between the ages of 64 and 75 who did not show any signs of dementia or other mental symptoms. Next, they looked at the brain activity of each man as he completed a mental task. They found that the fitter a participant was, the less brain activity he used to complete the tasks when compared with his out-of-shape peers(同龄人).
Although much research is focused on how exercise may benefit an aging brain, exercise offers brain health benefits at almost any age, and this includes children. A review of 14 studies showed that more physically active schoolchildren do better academically. Exercise actually causes your brain to grow in size. So get moving and keep moving for best results.
1.Which of the following best explains “nimble” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A.Intelligent. B.Dull. C.Unique. D.Simple.
2.What can we infer about the participants’ less-active peers?
A.They had significant brain advantages. B.Their brains were younger than their age.
C.They didn’t have to attend health classes. D.Their cognitive performance would decline.
3.How does the author support his idea?
A.By making comparisons. B.By analyzing study results.
C.By describing the processes. D.By telling his own experiences.
4.What’s the main idea of the text?
A.Exercise is beneficial for your bodies.
B.Exercise is especially good for the old.
C.Exercise can benefit your brain health.
D.Exercise may lower your risk of mental problems.
