Half a year ag, Lacey Sctt was shpping fr supplies at a lcal pet stre in Kansas City, Missuri. When she was in that lcatin, a bred face f a little gldfish attracted her attentin, and she didn’t stp staring at it the entire time she was there.
Lying at the bttm f a dark fish tank, the sad fish didn’t appear t have much f a wish t survive. Lacey learned frm a stre clerk that the fish was ten years ld and had spent a lng time in that depressing tank.
“I culdn’t take my mind ff him. I culdn’t bear the thught f a fish wh had wasted s much f its life and wuld end up dying in a pet stre,” Lacey said.
Lacey apprached the stre wner and asked if she culd take the small fish hme with her.
What n ne realized was that the small fish’s best days were still t cme: all it needed was a secnd chance.
Lacey returned hme and built a pnd ut f varius materials fr the fish she named “Mnstr”. She changed his water every day t keep it clean and fresh, and fed him with nly the fish fd. Mnstr, n the ther hand, did nt appear t be enjying his new living envirnment, nt even mving t have his meal.
Despite this, Lacey did nt give up n him and cntinued t prvide him with specialized care. “I fund him swimming fr small amunts f time after a mnth,” Lacey said. “And it was at that pint that I realized things began t change.”
Mnstr’s bdy began t change as well. The gray scales (鱼鳞) that made him seem unwell began t change clrs. His small bdy began t shine, shwing that his cnditin had imprved greatly.
Lacey put Mnstr int a much larger tank nce he had fully recvered, where he cntinues t live in the greatest pssible way.
4. Why did the gldfish at the pet stre catch Lacey Sctt’s attentin?
A. He was a rare type f gldfish.
B. He lked sad and was tired f life.
C. He lked energetic, clrful and lvely.
D. He was s ld that he culd hardly mve.
5 Hw was the fish when he just arrived at Lacey’s hme?
A. He tried t jump ut f the pnd.
B. He adapted t his new life very quickly.
C. He seemed nt t be fnd f his new hme.
D. He appeared t be dead and flated n the surface.
6. When did Lacey start t find Mnstr’s change?
A. The fish began t swim in the pnd.
B. The fish started t eat a lt f fd.
C. The fish’s scales began t change clrs.
D. The fish came t the surface t breathe.
7. What is the text mainly abut?

Scientists estimate there are millins f trees n earth. I culdn’t believe that thse trees can have a healing(治愈的)effect n peple.
Accrding t Wrld Health Organizatin, 40 percent f American adults have at least tw chrnic(慢性病的)diseases, which include high bld pressure, md disrders, heart prblems and diabetes. Accrding t the Internatinal Assciatin f Applied Psychlgy, lwer stress, better mds, better brain activity and even happiness can all be linked t spending time in the great utdrs. That’s why there are dzens f prgrams that prescribe nature as a ptential frm f healing. Nature is everywhere.
There are tw majr theries as t why nature is s gd fr ur brains. The first ne is called attentin restratin thery. When we spend time in busy urban envirnments, all the hard edges, traffic, lights and peple everywhere really make us have t cnstantly fcus ur attentin n these things. Whereas when yu spend time in nature, it helps restre yur pwers f attentin and reduce that tiredness and bad-temper. The secnd majr thery is called stress reductin thery. S basically, when we spend time in nature after stressful events, it helps us feel better and recver faster.
When I recmmended nature fr the first time t a patient f mine, he actually just ndded his head and said, “Yu’re abslutely right. When I spend mre time in nature, I feel better.” And s, I think healthcare prviders have t get ver ur wn traditinal mental views against this new srt f lifestyle, and prescribe smething evidence-based, like nature time mre ften.
This is wrth the effrt t d. Yu need t get ut f drs and just be surrunded by the greenery and by nature. Yu’ll feel calmer. Yu’ll feel less depressed and less anxius. It’s just a great way t deal with the stress f mdern life.
8. Which wrd can replace the underlined wrd “prescribe”?
A. Practice.B. Prvide.C. Suggest.D. Explre.
9. What is the functin f paragraph 2?
A. T clarify a cncept.B. T lead in the tpic.
C. T make a cnclusin.D. T prvide evidence.
10. Hw des nature help peple accrding t the tw majr theries?
A. Refresh neself.B. Live a better life.
C. Imprve urban envirnments.D. Deal with stressful issues.
11. What can be inferred accrding t paragraph 4?
A. It is nt easy t get in nature.
B. Nature treatment is still unppular.
C. Mst patients prefer nature treatment.
D. Dctrs usually recmmend nature t patients.
