Sometimes the simple act of being outside every day can be good to you.We often forget about what nature has to offer by staying inside too much.Going outside,you’ll probably be exposed to numerous sensations.You might hear the crinkle of leaves under your feet,concentrate on how the breeze cools your
skin,and feel the sun offering its natural warmth.
Time outside also reminds you how you share your time on Earth with countless creatures and that you must live in harmony with them.The more often you encounter animals in their natural habitats,the easier it will be to recall why it’s so important to treat the outdoors with respect.After coming in contact with a squirrel,for example,you may be especially careful to throw your trash away in the nearest garbage can in case of some harmful leftover food.That’s because you’ve just been reminded that you’re not the only living thing to come in contact with what’s now rubbish.
Spending too much time indoors may cause us to become too isolated from others,especially if we use up much time in front of computer screens.It seems that a computer connected to the Internet allows you to share parts of your world with other people,but actually it can also make us feel more disconnected from others for lack of face-to-face communication.The time outside with a loved one allows you to take part in a shared experience.For instance,you can call attention to a type of flower that’s just started blooming and allow your companions to marvel at its beauty.That’s a similar shared experience.
Anyhow,it is not as hard as you might imagine.You may just decide to start an outdoor practice that takes you outside for a certain amount of time,preferably every day.The last15minutes of your lunch break strolling outside with a friend and some after-dinner family time discussing your days can be g
ood options. Get off the computer and head outside!You’ll feel how your choice pays off.
4.According to paragraph1,going outside offers an opportunity for people to________.
B.bring back distant memories

Two women in their50s stand beholding in front of Guanyin of the South China Sea,an ancient Chinese sculpture in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City,Missouri.Over the past20years,they have been visiting the museum,describing the“mother Buddha”as“beautiful and tranquil,a symbol of religious traditions in China”.Measuring2.4meters high,1.68meters wide and1.1meters thick,the larger-than-life sculpture was carved from the trunk of a single poplar tree,which has created a sense of calm and warmth in the hall.
Since its launch in1933,the museum has been actively collecting,preserving,studying and exhibiting works of Chinese art,ranging from ceramics to furniture,and from paintings to sculptures.And its Chinese art collection contains masterpieces in various historical stages.
An exhibition on the theme of Lively Creatures—Animals in Chinese Art was held at the museum, displaying tens of Chinese ancient paintings with images of animals in many art forms.The creatures on the paintings represented celebration,personal messages,and even political and religious agendas.
Organizers of the exhibition produced a set of cards,with images of animals on one side and their cultural meanings in Chinese artistic tradition on the other.The cards are provided for visitors for free.
“I find it very interesting,and the way that the things are drawn is very cool,”says17-year-old high school student Camden Lombard after visiting the exhibition.“I want to go to China someday to find more,”he adds.
“It’s kind of eye-opening and we’re bringing the world together,”says Makar,an educator with the school outreach and education programs of the museum.“There are so many similarities as well as beautiful differences,and we are just trying to understand and appreciate one another.”
“We’re in a moment when it’s sometimes hard to look outside of your own personal viewpoints,”says Howard,manager of volunteer engagement at the museum.“I think having access to seeing what other cultures have created,what they valued and appreciated,and what was important to them,is really important in building that understanding about all the people we share this planet with.”
8.The two women kept visiting the Nelson-Atkins Museum for________.

When Thomas Edison hit a wall with his inventions,he would nap in an armchair while holding a steel ball.As he started to fall asleep and his muscles relaxed,the ball would strike the floor,waking him with insights into his problems.Or so the story goes.
Thomas Edison was somewhat right.Now,more than100years later,scientists have repeated the trick in a lab,revealing that the famous inventor was on to something.People following his recipe tripled their chances of solving a math problem.The trick was to wake up in the transition between sleep and wakefulness,just before deep sleep.In this transitional period,we are not quite awake,but also not deeply asleep.It can be as short as a minute and occurs right when we start to doze off.
Researchers recruited more than100easy sleepers,each of whom was given a math test with a hidden rule for the answer.By recording brain activity,they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those
who remained awake.
The creative effect happened even for people who spent just15seconds in the first sleep stage.But the trick didn’t work for those who reached later stages of sleep.“Our findings suggest there is a creative sweet spot during sleep onset,”says author Delphine Oudiette,a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute.“It is a small window which can disappear if you wake up too early or sleep too deep.”
The study team also identified a brain activity pattern linked to the creativity-boosting phase:moderate levels of brain waves at a slow frequency known as alpha,associated with relaxation,and low levels of delta waves,a hallmark of deep sleep.Oudiette says researchers can now focus on this brain signature when investigating the neural mechanisms(神经机制)of creative problem-solving.The team has already planned an experiment to help people reach a creative zone
by monitoring their brain waves in real time.“Edison was great”,Oudiette says,“and now we have a lot more to explore.”
12.What does the underlined phrase“was on to something”in paragraph2probably mean?
A.Discovered the truth.
B.Was absorbed in math puzzles.
C.Started the experiment.
D.Was engaged in laboratory work.
13.According to the research,the trick of promoting creativity lies in________.
A.gaining adequate deep sleep
B.discovering the hidden rules of problems
C.following Edison’s life style
D.waking up right after nodding off to sleep
14.Why did the researchers record brain activity of the sleepers?
A.To evaluate their sleep efficiency.
B.To measure their amount of sleep.
C.To assess their levels of intelligence.
D.To compare their creative thinking abilities.
15.What is paragraph5mainly about?
A.Supporting evidence for the research results.
B.Potential application of the research findings
C.A further explanation of the research methods.
灵魂之语
D.A reasonable doubt about the research process.
