According to research in recent years, just having a view of nature has been shown to improve hospital patients recovery and reduce illness rates among office workers. Also, exposure (暴露) to wildlife, horseback riding, hiking, camping and farms can be helpful for a variety of health conditions in adults and children.Much of this type of research is focusing on children, and in fact an entire movement has quickly developed to connect kids with the healing power of nature.Obesity (肥胖). Rates of childhood obesity have grown sharply in recent years, and this is partly because of reduced outdoor activity time. Increasing the time students spend learning about nature, both in and outside the classroom, would help solve this problem. Such lessons are often more attractive for students and often lead them to become more active outside.Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (多动症). Exposure to ordinary natural settings (环境) in the course of common after-school and weekend activities may be effective in reducing attention deficit symptoms in children. According to a study, participation in green activities such as nature walks helped ADHD patients from a wide range of backgrounds to stay focused and complete tasks.Stress. Access to nature, even house plants, can help children cope with stress.Depression and seasonal emotional disorder. Major depression requires medical treatment, but physical activity, especially outdoors, can help ease symptoms. For your average case of winter blues, experts suggest spending time outside every day and, if possible, taking the family to a sunny vacation spot in mid-winter.Experts emphasize (强调) that you neednt go to wilderness preserves to enjoy natures benefits simply walking in a city park or growing in a rooftop garden can make a difference.21. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that_.A. it may be dangerous to exposure to wildlife frequentlyB. modern people are not familiar with the healing power of natureC. the healing power of nature works better on childrenD. only exposure to nature for a long time can people be healthier22. According to the fourth paragraph, lessons about nature_.A. should involve parents in them B. should take place outdoorsC. are used widely at schools D. are liked by students23. Exposure to green areas in neighborhoods can_.A. improve childrens skills at learning B. help reduce ADHD symptomsC. treat major depression D. prevent winter blues24. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. You can only enjoy natures benefits in the wilderness.B. A common natural setting is beneficial to your health.C. A city park and a rooftop garden have different benefits.D. Too many people in the wilderness will reduce the benefits of nature.BMy life began in the years of the Great Depression, and I was the last in a family of nine living children. Our father, an English migrant who had fought in France during World War I, was struggling to make a living on the edge of a South Australian country town. Worn out with child-bearing and hard work, my mother died when I was six months old. I was adopted by a childless couple to whom a son was born a year later, so I went quickly from being the eldest.In the beginning, our circumstances were good. My adoptive father was employed as a manager of a local store. However, as the Depression worsened, he lost his job and had difficulty finding another. He was a practical and resourceful man. We rented a house on a three-quarter-acre block on which he grew vegetables, peaches, grapes and a variety of flowers. In the dry climate, with the only water being rain collected in two large iron tanks, it was hard work just to keep the plants alive, let alone flourishing (茂盛的) and productive. However, he succeeded.We had no car, so the garage was used by him as a workshop, where he turned his hand to making and fixing almost anything. He made me a wooden dolls cradle (摇篮) which I valued for years. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) down and restored cupboards and other furniture which had been purchased second-hand.When World War II broke out, he soon died. However, we were busy and healthy and never felt deprived. I wonder sometimes if we were not better off than children today, who are bored without their electronic games and mobile phones, spend so much time in front of computer and television screens and live in the ever-present fear of attack or abuse.25. What can we learn about the author and her family?A. Her father was a French migrant who had fought in Britain.B. Her mother died when she was six years old.C. The author had eight brothers or sisters when she was born.D. Her adoptive father bought a house and grew many plants.26. How did the authors adoptive father make a living when the Depression worsened?A. He was employed as the manager of a local store.B. He sold second-hand furniture.C. He grew many vegetables, peaches and grapes.D. He made wooden dolls cradles in a factory.27. The authors adoptive father was very _.A. selfish B. sensitive C. emotional D. intelligent28. The purpose of this passage is to _.A. criticize the Great DepressionB. recall the life in childhoodC. describe the life of children todayD. give some advice to the local governmentCAll it takes is a single bird to knock a plane out of the air. And when planes run into flocks (群) of birds in flight, those meetings can be fatal, as in the 1995 collision between 30 geese and a plane at the Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska, where all the 24 people aboard were killed.That kind of accident isnt a recent development. The first man to cross America in an airplane, Calbraith Rodgers, was killed in a bird and plane collision in 1912. But with the boom in population and the need to get to destinations faster, air travel has grown by leaps and bounds (跳跃), and so has the bird problem. So seriously is the matter taken that NASA takes many actions to test the durability (耐用性) of the windshields (挡风玻璃) of new planes in face of feathered threats.In the last decade of the 1900s, the Federal Aviation Commission estimated that bird collisions in air or on the ground caused 48 million dollars in damage. In fact, by 1997, figures showed that bird and plane accidents had grown to more than 2,800 annually, an increase of 50% over 1990 figures.Why are birds a problem? Airports tend to be built in areas far from “civilization” because of the noise factor. This means there is usually grass and natural insect life to feed on. Coastal airports, being near the water, attract sea birds as well.In an attempt to solve the problem, airports have shot birds, poisoned them, set off fireworks, and installed loud alarms. Some even turned to dog patrols (巡逻) that would go out twice daily and alarm the bird population. All of these measures have had limited success. However, an airport at Gloucestershire, England, came up with a solution that drove all the birds away. The staff discovered that playing songs by Tina Turner scared the birds away.29. The underlined word “fatal” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. interesting B. necessary C. deadly D. friendly30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The accident that happened in 1995 resulted in 24 deaths.B. Calbraith Rodgers was the first man to cross America by air.C. Sea birds are often attracted to airports built near water.D. Fewer than 1,400 collisions between birds and planes happened in 1990.31. The following are the measures taken to solve the problem mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _.A. letting off fireworksB. setting off loud alarmsC. patrolling with dogsD. playing soft songs32. The passage is mainly about _.A. the collision between birds and planesB. the damage that birds have caused to planesC. how to reduce the population of birdsD. how to keep airports away from civilizationDHealth Survey for EnglandSocial careAmong people aged 65 and over, a third of women (36 percent) and just over a quarter of men (27 percent) reported a need for help in the last month with at least one Activity of Daily Living.
