It’s been four and a half months since 46-year-old man called George Floyd died after pleading he couldn’t breathe as a Minneapolis officer knelt on his neck. The four officers involved were fired and Derek Chauvin, who pressed his knee on the man’s neck, was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. In the days since Floyd’s death, thousands poured onto the country’s streets to protest the killing and those who died before Floyd as a result of police brutality.

Taking at least twenty minutes out of your day to walk or sit in a place that makes you feel in contact with nature will significantly lower your stress hormone levels. That's the finding of a study that has established for the first time the most effective amount of an urban nature experience. Healthcare professionals can use this discovery to prescribe (开药) “nature-pills" in the knowledge that they have a real measurable effect "We know that spending time in nature reduces stress, but until now it was unclear how much is enough, how often to do it, or even what kind of nature experience will benefit us,” says Dr. Hunter, a lead author of this research. “Our study shows that for the greatest payoff, in terms of efficiently lowering levels of the stress hormone, you should spend 20 to 30 minutes sitting or walking in a place that provides you with a sense of nature. To assist healthcare professionals looking for evidence-based guidelines on what exactly to distribute, Hunter and her colleagues designed an experiment that would give a realistic estimate of an effective amount. Over an 8-week period, participants were asked to take a nature pill with a duration of 10 minutes or more, at least 3 times a week. Levels of stress hormone, were measured from saliva (唾液)samples taken before and after a nature pill, once every two weeks. The data revealed that just a twenty-minute nature experience was enough to significantly reduce stress levels. Healthcare professionals can use our results as an evidence-based rule of thumb on what to put in a nature-pill prescription," said Hunter. "It provides the first estimates of how na- ture experiences impact stress levels in the context of normal daily life. It breaks new ground by addressing some of the complexities of measuring an effective nature amount." 【1】What's the great significance of the study? A. It finds out a new way to release stress. B. It can help doctors prescribe various pills C. It makes it clear that exercise can help release stress. D. It finds out the accurate amount of nature experience. 【2】How did Hunter get the finding? A. By working with some doctors. B. By asking participants questions. C. By carrying out an experiment. D. By comparing the previous data. 【3】What did Hunter think of the result of the study? A. It has drawbacks. B. It's meaningful. C. It's worth researching further. D. It needs more discussions. 【4】What's the main idea of the text? A. Nature has close relationship with stress. B. We should stay in nature to keep healthy. C. We cannot get close to nature frequently. D. Staying in nature for proper time will lower stress level. |

In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable（可持续的）ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources. Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil（棕榈油）, which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%. Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one. The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries. 【1】The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______. A.it makes the world warmer B.it consumes natural resources C.it makes growth hard to continue D.it brings severe damage to forests 【2】To fully develop the low-carbon markets, governments can ______. A.cut public expenses B.forbid carbon emission C.develop public resources D.encourage energy conservation 【3】We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ______. A.develop sustainable products B.explore new natural resources C.make full use of natural resources D.deal with the major challenge 【4】What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To compare two business models. B.To introduce a new business model. C.To advocate sustainable development. D.To predict a change of the global markets. |

Coming face-to-face with your inadequacies can be painful, to say the least. It challenges the way that you believe people see you and even makes you question yourself.【1】. But handling negative feedback properly will not only make you look well-behaved, but it could eventually help you grow as a person. Here’s how to do it. ※Be objective about criticism Before you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the other person’s opinion, take a step back and look at it as a whole.【2】, don’t immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you, but rather, take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate.【3】. ※Be open to the idea of change 【4】. And it may be because of a concept called “cognitive dissonance” that can prevent us from changing even when that’s what we need most. “People have a view of themselves or the world that they only seek to confirm, not adjust or change,” Dr. Benn, a psychologist explains. “They may ignore criticism because they wish to avoid having to change, or because it makes them feel bad, or because they feel it is not helpful.” ※Ask questions If you’re open to using the criticism as a springboard to improvement, you will likely need more information. The initial moment you hear the criticism may not be the best time to ask for more details. Your emotions will be riding high, and you may not be particularly willing to accept extra information. However, when you feel ready, it could be worth revisiting the subject with the person who criticized you. “【5】, asking what you can do differently or how you can do better,” says Dr. Benn. Even if you don’t agree with their advice, thank them and promise to consider it. A.When you can’t hear clearly B.Most of us are pretty stubborn C.Next time you get a bad review D.Engage with the person who criticized you E.But it’s best to avoid getting into an argument F.Your immediate reaction may be to defend yourself G.Give yourself a chance to really take in the information and evaluate it |
