30、iendlyC15、Mindfulness MattersIn recent years, some schools have begun to introduce meditation, or mindfulness training, into their classrooms. During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and feelings to avoid being controlled by them. Mindfulness

31、training can help students overcome anxiety (焦虑), control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.Among schools that already teach meditation, the results have been

32、 positive. In one study, teachers reported that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rates and better grades. Anothe

33、r study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving their working memory and reducing their anxiety. Many supporters believe that meditation training programs can also help students overcome stress. For example, Headstand is a mindfulness education program designed

34、 to help students overcome anxiety. A study concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in meditation and yoga classes three ti

35、mes a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies.Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not rigorous(严谨的) enough. Associate Professor Tamar Mendelson agrees t

36、hat research on meditation in children is still in its early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children. Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a professor from the Stanford Un

37、iversity, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang for your buck and anyone who is against it isnt thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness.Although still in its early stages, research sho

38、ws that meditation can help students learn to deal with anxiety and stress. As an added bonus, students of mindfulness training also report better concentration and gains in their academic performances. Therefore, meditation should be a part of every students school day. Participating in “stillness”

39、 can be just as productive as other school-related activities.1Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes?ATo control students working memory.BTo reduce students stress and anxiety.CTo increase students attendance rates.DTo research students thoughts and feelings.2What can we le

40、arn from the passage?AMindfulness training is not a valuable use of class time at school.BMindfulness training is more productive than other school activities.CStudents felt more stressful after joining yoga classes three times a week.DStudents paid closer attention in class after weeks of mindfulne

Just five more minutes.” The man nodded

Just five more minutes.” The man smiled and said, “Okay.” “Oh, you are certainly a patient father,” the woman said.

The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You m

49、ight find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too.

50、seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!Whats more, in deeper water, colors just dont seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing.

These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in water. The red part now looks almost black

52、 because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost(鬼怪)! And you have to wa

53、it for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again. Do you have a better understanding of the behavior of the light underwater? We need to be careful about the objects around us and explore(探索) their mysteries by ourselves.1You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it bec
