human resources at chongqing university of science and technology，who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting. yangs story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the countrys wealthiest cities. they have diplomas，rather than professional skills，and come to big cities in hopes of better lives，only to find lowpaying jobs and poor living conditions. they are chinas “ant tribe(蚁族)”，a term coined by sociologist lian si from peking university in his 2009 book，ant tribe. “theyre so similar to ants. they share small and narrow living areas. theyre intelligent and hardworking，yet nameless and underpaid. ” the term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the

percentage. most had degrees in popular majors. in addition,7. 2 percent of “ants” have at least a masters degree compared to 1. 6 percent in 2009. an “ants” average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan，with

ants are from rural families or small towns，and their experiences in ordinary universities didnt arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities employment markets. ” professor zhang ming

december holidays，my husband had a 10day silent meditation(冥思、默念)not my idea of fun，but he came back refreshed and energetic. he said the experience was so fantastic that he has been in meditation for two hours a day，once in the morning and once in the evening，until the end of march. hes running an experiment to determine whether and how meditation actually improves the quality of his life. i have doubts about it. but now，scientists say that meditators like my husband may be benefiting from changes in their brains. the researchers report that those who meditated for about 30 minutes a day for eight weeks had measurable changes in grey matter density in parts of the brain associated with memory，sense of self，empathy(心灵相通)and stress. mr. i(磁共振)brain scans taken before and after the participants meditation found increased grey matter in the hippocampue，an area important for learning and memory. the images also showed a reduction of grey matter in the amygdala，a part connected to anxiety and stress. a control group that did not practise meditation showed no such changes. how exactly did these study volunteers meditate？so many people talk about meditating these days. within four miles of our bay area home，there are at least six centers that offer some type of meditation class，and i often hear phrases like，“so how was your sit today？”britta holzel，a professor at massachusetts general hospital and harvard medical school and the studys lead author，said the participants practised mindfulness meditation，a form of silent deep thought that was introduced in the united states in the late 1970s. it traces its roots to the same ancient buddhist techniques that my husband follows. “the main idea is to use different objects to focus ones attention，and it could be a focus on sensations of breathing，or emotions or thoughts，or observing any type of body sensations，”she said. “but its about bringing the mind back to the here and now，as opposed to letting the mind wander. ”generally the meditators are seated upright on a chair or the floor and in silence，although sometimes there might be a guide leading the practice，dr. holzel said. of course，its important to remember that the human brain is complex. “the field is very，very young，and we dont really know enough about it yet，”dr. holzel said. “i would say these are quite preliminary findings. we see that there is something there，but we have to test these findings over and over to find out what they really mean. ”it has been hard to exactly tell the benefits of meditation，but a 2009 study suggests that meditation may reduce blood pressure for patients with coronary heart disease(冠心病)and a 2007 study found that meditators have longer attention periods. previous studies have also shown that there are structural differences between the brains of meditators and those who dont meditate，although this new study is the first to record changes in grey matter over time through meditation. finally，dr. holzel said she and her colleagues would like to prove how meditation results in clear improvements in peoples lives. “a lot of studies find that it increases wellbeing，improves quality of life，but its always hard to determine how you can objectively test that，”she said. “meditators may be more willing to help when someone suffers，and act more sympathetically. ”dr. holzel said. further study is needed，but that foretells well for me. for now，im more than happy to support my husbands little experiment，despite the fact that he now rises at 5 am. and is exhausted by 10 at night. an empathetic husband who takes out the rubbish and puts petrol in the car because he knows i dont like toill take that. 【解题导语】

at the neurophysiopathology pain unit asked a group of men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as leonardo da
