Shinrin-yku means “frest bathing”. Frest bathing desn't mean yu take a bath in the frest; rather, yu simply g fr a walk in the wds r a city park, where yuslackenby using all yur senses t experience nature.
Yshifumi Miyazaki, frm Chiba University, is amng a grwing number f scientists wh have begun studying the science behind the effects f nature n human health. In his bkShinrin-yku: The Japanese Art f Frest Bathing.Miyazaki explains the techniques f frest bathing.
Miyazaki has an interesting thery abut why shinrin-yku is s effective. He pints ut that fr mre than 99.99% f the time, humans have lived in a natural envirnment. In fact, in 1800, nly 3% f the wrld's ppulatin lived in cities, and by 2016, this figure reached 54%. This is nly ging t get wrse; fficials predict that by 2050, 66% will live in cities.
This suggests we live in ur mdern sciety with bdies that are still used t the natural envirnment, he writes in the bk, because “genes cannt change ver just a few hundred years". The science behind the research studies he presents in the bk makes a cnvincing case that frest bathing is an effective methd fr reducing stress in tday's wrld.
Nw city planners are becming increasingly aware f the imprtance f nature and are creating new kinds f “parks” ut f empty spaces. There're als mre city gardens where peple can grw vegetables. Fr kids, kitchen gardens in schls are becming ppular. As Miyazaki stresses, yu dn't have t find a frmal park r garden t practice shinrin-yku. Instead, yu can enjy the effects f nature wherever there're plants.
Better yet, he says, we can bring nature clser t where we spend mst f ur time. Miyazaki's research has shwn that just increasing the amunt f plants in a rm can affect the relaxatin benefits f the rm. What's mre, even when peple simply lk at flwers, their bdies relax and stress levels decrease.
4. What des the underlined wrd in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Behave.B. Entertain.C. Sleep.D. Relax.
5. Hw des the authr mainly develp the third paragraph?
A. By giving examples.B. By listing figures.
C. By making remarks.D. By presenting research findings.
6. Why des frest bathing wrk effectively accrding t Miyazaki?
A. Human genes can change easily.B. Nature is part f the mdern sciety.
C. Human bdy can integrate int nature.D. Peple can always get excited in nature.
7. Which f the fllwing will Miyazaki agree n frest bathing?
A. It is easy t perate.B. It is meant fr gardeners.
C. It is unaffrdable in the city.D. It is incnvenient t practice.

Thanks t YuTube, Streaming first caught n in 2005. Tday nearly three quarters f American husehlds subscribe t at least ne vide streaming service. With almst 200 millin subscribers wrldwide and a billin hurs f cntent viewed each week, Netflix is by far the biggest paid service. N. 2 is Amazn Prime Vide. But fr every Gliath, there are a hundred Davids. Many smaller streaming services shw nthing but sprts, classic mvies, r Japanese anime.
In the early days f streaming the appeal was the lwer cst, and it still is. The average streamer spends $37 a mnth and subscribes t three streaming platfrms, while the average cable ser pays mre than $200 per mnth. Still streaming has becme mre expensive in recent years. In 2019, Netflix raised the price f its basic service 12. 5 percent t $8.99 a mnth. A quarter f its subscribers, wh prtested price increases, said they wuld cancel their subscriptins. Few did.

Usually nly films shwn in theaters are cnsidered, but because f the crnavirus, all mvies released nline in 2020 are qualified fr the 2021 Oscar Academy Awards. That shift is especially gd news fr Disney, which is putting the much anticipated mvie Mulan n a new streaming service, Amazn Prime Vide. But watching Mulan frm yur wn hme will cst $29.99 — n tp f the service’s mnthly fee f $6.99.
T much streaming can have its disadvantages, hwever. There are thse wh binge-watch, a term Merriam-Webster added in 2017 with the definitin “t watch many r all episdes f a TV series n end.” Alejandr Frags frm New Yrk hlds the Guinness Wrld Recrd: 94 straight hurs.
8. What d the underlined wrds “Gliath” and “David” in Paragraph 1 refer t?
A. TV viewers.B. TV prgrams.
C. Streaming services.D. Streaming subscribers.
9. Why did mst Netflix subscribers cntinue their subscriptins?

What culd be better than sitting with family and friends fr a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, r watching neighburs' children excitedly pen gifts n Christmas? Even the first snwfall seems special.
While these simple pleasures are nt unique t Lng Island they are sme f the reasns I cmeback. Wh says yu can't g hme? I knw I will be rdering a ticket this very night and cured f hmesick(思乡病) tmrrw.
