On the bttm, they designed a system t handle the heavy shaking that cmes when driving ver uneven surfaces.

Peple fld int cities fr understandable reasns: mre jb pprtunities, mre cultural diversity and larger cmmunities. Yet living in a cncrete-walled, green-pr, urban envirnment takes away frm ur-very essence ur fundamental need t be clse t nature. We can't quite break the link with ur evlutinary（进化的）past and part ways with ur rigins. Surrunding urselves with walls and 'screens, we tend t pay a price, ften with ur health and quality f life.
In Japan, a ppulus cuntry with vast expanses f green frests, an ancient traditin, knwn as shinrin-yku, r frest bathing, tries t balance ut the pressure frm urban living. It's the practice f spending prlnged perids f time with trees t gain frm their many health benefits. In a bk hitting shelves this mnth, Frest Bathing: Hw Trees Can Help Yu Find Health and Happiness, Dr. Qing Li, the wrld's fremst expert in frest medicine, intrduces readers t the valuable practice f frest bathing. The bk features mre than 100 clr phtgraphs f frests arund the wrld. One may reject this kind f bk as yet less cnvincing, but the pint is that Li has nt just practiced frest bathing, but has als studied its impact n peple's health thrugh numerus scientific studies. He has data t supprt his claims, cllected in a lng list f expert-reviewed articles at the end f the bk.
The bk lists studies that cnsistently shw-a substantial. reductin f stress hrmnes（应激激素）. Essential tree ils fund in frest air increase energy levels by mre than 30 percent and imprve a general state f well-being, including imprvement in sleep.
Scientific results apart, the, cncept f frest bathing shuldn't be s. surprising. Wh hasn't felt an inner sense f well-being when walking alng a quiet frest path? Stepping int a frest, away frm the artificial sunds and smells f urban life, des feel like pushing a life reset buttn, reestablishing a cnnectin with ur deepest needs.
T celebrate this wnderful bk and. what seems t be a rediscvery f frest bathing in ur life, I'm ging t g nw—t take: my frest bath.

High engagement, high return. That's the advice frm educatin experts at the University f Suth Australia fr teachers lking t imprve student utcmes.
Filming and assessing（评估）the cntent f classrms acrss Suth Australia and Victria, researchers fund in a new study that nearly 70% f student tasks invlved superficial learning—simple questin and answers, taking ntes, r listening t teachers -rather than activities that engage students n a deeper level. Less than a third f teachers are engaging students in cmplicated learning, limiting student pprtunities fr critical thinking and prblem slving.
UniSA researcher, Dr. Stephensn, highlights teachers need mre supprt t plan interactive and cnstructive lessns that prmte deep learning. "The greater the engagement, the deeper the learning. Deep learning requites the rganizatin f knwledge int cnceptual structures, which imprves infrmatin memry and learning ' utcmes. It als supprts the develpment f innvative thinking. Even small changes t teachers' existing lessn plans and teaching methds can vastly increase student engagement and verall results," he says.
"At a base level, teachers shuld cnsider hw they can adjust their existing classrm activities s that mre tasks are n the deeper end f learning. Take fr example, watching a vide. Students can silently watch a vide（which is 'passive'）; watch a vide and take ntes using the presenter's wrds（which is ‘active’）; write questins that ccur fr them while watching the vide（which is 'cnstructive'）; r watch a vide and discuss it with anther student t generate different ideas（which is ‘interactive’）. Interactive engagement in classrms mtivates students t develp deeper understanding. They' re making judgments, suggesting and cmmenting n arguments and pinins, and wrking ut slutins t prblems," Dr. Stephensn says.
Interestingly, many teachers seem nt t knw r fully appreciate the imprtance f hw their lessn tasks can stimulate different mdes f student engagement. "Even changing class activities frm ‘active' t’ cnstructive can g a lng way twards imprving student leaning," Dr. Stephensn says. "Teachers shuld undertake prfessinal develpment t transfrm their thinking twards practices that supprt deeper-learning and better utcmes fr students."
32. What des the underlined wrd "superficial" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Shall B. Prductive. C. Cnfusing. D. Challenging.
33. What are mst student in-class tasks like accrding t the study?
A. They make classes lively and fun. B. They achieve n desired results.
C. They cntribute t students' deep thinking. D. They stp students frm cncentratin,
34. If students attend a lessn abut western and eastern cultures, which activity wrks best?
A. A grup debate. B. A film screening.
C. A reading cntest. D. A retelling exercise.
35. What des Dr. Stephensn suggest teachers d fr better student utcmes?
A. Increase class activities. B. Interact with students mre ften.
C. Upgrade teaching strategies. D. Engage students in mre self-study.
