When Anna Chen started her weekly nature walks in a small urban frest park in early 2023, she nly sught an escape frm her high-pressure ffice jb and endless screen time. What she never expected was a prfund and lasting imprvement in her well-being: after just tw mnths f regular walks, her stress levels drpped sharply, her sleep quality imprved dramatically, and her wrk fcus strengthened significantly. Her experience is backed by a grwing bdy f research shwing that even shrt, regular expsure t natural envirnments has prven benefits fr human mental and physical health.
T verify this effect, Dr. Ryan Park, an envirnmental psychlgist frm the University f Califrnia and his team carried ut a 4-week cntrlled experiment. They divided 220 adult participants int tw grups: ne spent at least 20 minutes daily in any green space, while the ther remained in urban built envirnments with n nature expsure. All participants tk regular crtisl (皮质醇) tests and cmpleted standard health assessments thrughut the experiment.
“Nature is nt a luxury fr thse with free time, but a basic necessity fr ur brain and physical health,” says Dr. Park. “Our cntrlled study fund that the nature expsure grup had 32% lwer levels f crtisl, the bdy’s main stress hrmne, than the cntrl grup.”
Dr. Park’s team als fund that students taking a 15-minute pre-exam nature walk scred 18% higher n average, while ffice wrkers with windw views f trees reprted 25% fewer annual sick days. “Yu dn’t need t hike in faraway natinal parks t get these benefits,” he ntes. “Even a cmmunity garden, tree-lined street r shrt lcal park walk wrks. Cnnecting with nature is a simple, accessible way t care fr ur well-being.”
8．What can we infer abut Anna Chen’s initial nature walks?
A．They were strngly supprted by her ffice manager.
B．They were designed t imprve her wrk perfrmance.
C．They brught her surprising mental health advantages.
D．They cmpletely changed her attitude twards the utdrs.
9．What is the key difference between the tw grups in the experiment?
A．Their daily access t natural green spaces.
B．Their age and physical health cnditin.
C．The time they spent n utdr activities.
D．The frequency f their crtisl level tests.
10．What des Dr. Park imply in the last paragraph?
A．Urban peple have n access t natural spaces.
B．Cmmunity gardens are better than city parks.
C．Mst peple have brken their bnd with nature.
D．Even tiny natural spaces can bring health benefits.
11．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A．The Pwer f Shrt Nature Expsure fr Health
B．The Rise f Outdr Activities in Urban Areas
C．The Harm f Busy Office Wrk t Well-being
D．The Bnd Between Humans and Nature
On a banana farm in rural Australia, a farming family spreads crushed vlcanic rck between ripening fruit. Eight thusand kilmeters away, tw yung men in India dust the same type f rck pwder nt their crps, while acrss the cean, a farmer in Kenya spreads the pwder nt his ptat plants. Acrss the wrld, farmers are experimenting with a technique called enhanced rck weathering (风化作用), designed t imprve pr sils and help save the planet frm climate change.
Enhanced rck weathering relies n an ld prcess: the breakdwn and buildup f rck. The weathering releases stable HCO3, which traps the carbn frm the atmsphere. It flws frm grundwater int streams and eventually the cean, where crals and ther living beings use it t make their shells and bnes. Upn dying, the carbn remains inside the planet fr tens f thusands f years r lnger befre vlcanes sht ut cluds f CO2 and lava, starting the cycle again.
Enhanced rck weathering takes advantage f Earth’s natural carbn cycle, which keeps carbn dixide in permanent circulatin between air, water and sil. Like a thermstat (恒温器), rck weathering can slwly mderate Earth’s temperatures ver time by keeping atmspheric levels f CO2, a greenhuse gas, in check.
Beynd climate benefits, enhanced rck weathering culd help farmers. Mdern agricultural practices have damaged sil structure. When sil becmes t acid, essential nutrients can wash away, and bacteria that help plants grw can be damaged. Farmers already add crushed limestne (石灰岩) and vlcanic rck pwder t fields t raise sil pH. Vlcanic rck pwder can als release essential plant nutrients.
Althugh the wrkings f enhanced rck weathering are well understd, the ptential lng-term risks are nt. The mst serius cncern is the ptential fr heavy metal remaining in sils. Sme f the rcks in the lng term may cause significant negative envirnmental cnsequences. Anther unknwn is the pssible effect f these rck pwders n marine life if rck pwder flws int the cean. Research n enhanced rck weathering is far frm dne. Cmbining enhanced rck weathering with ther strategies culd lead t an even greater effect.
12．What can be learned abut enhanced rck weathering?
A．It will destry the cral’s hmes.B．It speeds up earth’s carbn cycle.
C．It keeps carbn in the sea frever.D．It releases what absrbs carbn.
13．What des the underlined wrd “mderate” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Raise the levelB．Keep within limitsC．Lwer the rateD．Measure the change
14．Why are farmers willing t accept the technlgy?
A．T stp glbal warmingB．T reduce pllutin risks
C．T imprve sil qualityD．T change traditinal ways
15．What is the authr’s attitude twards enhanced rck weathering?
A．Psitive but cautiusB．Dubtful and wrried
C．Objective but indifferentD．Enthusiastic and supprtive
Fr high schl students, free time is a precius gift that shuld be cherished. 16 Many students fall int aimless scrlling thrugh scial media r end up feeling bred and unfulfilled. But it desn’t have t be this way. We can turn these spare mments int meaningful and rewarding time — ne that enriches ur lives, prmtes persnal grwth, and brings us jy, nt just keeps us busy with useless tasks.
17 Fr example, t imprve English, yu can plan t read ne shrt English article r learn 10 new wrds every day. Specific gals nt nly avid aimlessness but als give yur spare time a clear directin and purpse. When yu knw exactly what yu want t achieve, every minute cunts.
Als, fcus n activities that bring yu jy and help yu grw. 18 Whether it’s painting, playing an instrument, r cding, these hbbies nt nly relax yur mind but als develp yur creativity and practical skills, making yur free time mre fulfilling. The key is t find smething that challenges yu just enugh t keep yu engaged withut causing stress.
Learning t say “n” t unimprtant things als matters a lt. 19 Many students feel pressured t jin every scial event, which ends up wasting their precius free time. Plitely declining these invitatins frees up mre time fr what truly matters t yu. Remember, yur time is limited, and yu cannt please everyne while still taking care f yurself. 20
S start yur plan nw and make every free mment meaningful.
A．Set practical gals fr yur free time.
B．This way, yur free time will truly satisfy yu.
C．This skill allws yu t put yur wn needs first.
D．Yu dn’t have t fill every minute with activities.
E．Balance efficiency with relaxatin in yur free time.
F．Yu can simply take up a challenging but satisfying hbby.
G．Yet in reality, we ften waste these hurs withut nticing.

The mre I read, the mre I 28 that these small marks were just part f the natural life cycle f plants. Weather cnditins, sil health, and even harmless plant diseases can 29 their natural marks.

In the end, I decided nt t 32 them. Instead, I made a dish with these tmates. The 33 was just as great as ever, maybe even better than befre.

“Of curse!” The wrds escaped Charltte befre she even realized it. She turned t her dad, wh ndded withut hesitatin. With light steps, Charltte went inside and tld her mum. They invited the man t have dinner tgether and Charltte’s mther divided the chicken int fur prtins instead f three, the biggest share fr him. The man’s face lit up with gratitude as he tk a bite, “The mst delicius chicken in my life.” As they ate tgether in the trailer, laughter bubbled up—stries were shared, and fr a mment, the bitterness f their life was left behind. After dinner, her father shwed the hiker the right way. He thanked them repeatedly and hit the rad.
