社会主义文化大发展大繁荣的根本要求和根本保证 A.坚持先进文化的前进方向 B.民族性、科学性、大众性 C.面向现代化、面向世界、面向未来 D.有理想、有道德、有文化、有纪律 答案:C 解析: 略4、In meditation(冥想),people sit
quietly and focus their attention on their breath .As they breathe in and out,
they attend to their feelings. As thoughts go through their minds, they let them
go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let go.
According to a recent study at the
Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, three months of training in
this kind of meditation causes a market change in how the brain allocates
attention. It appears that the ability to let go thoughts that come into mind
frees the brain to attend to more rapidly changing things and events in the
outside world.Expert
mediators are better than other people at catching such fast-changing stimuli,
like facial expressions.
The study provides evidence for
changes in the workings of the brain with mental training. People can learn and
improve abilities of all sorts with practice, everything from driving to
playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation is good for the brain.
It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of well-being.
In an experiment, 17 volunteers
with no meditation experience in the experimental group spent three months
meditating 10 to 12 hours a day .A control group also with no meditation
experience meditated for 20 minutes a day over the same period.Both groups were then given the
tests with two numbers in a group of letters. As both group looked for the
numbers, their brain activity was recorded.
Everyone could catch the first
number. But the brain recordings showed that the less experienced mediators
tended to grasp the first number and hang onto it, so they missed the second
number. Those with more experience gave less attention to the first number .as
if letting it go ,which led to an increased ability to grasp the second number
,This shows that attention can change with practice.
Just ask Daniel Levison, who
meditated for three months as part of the study. “I am a much better listener,”
he said.“I do not get lost in my own personal reaction
to what people are saying.”
