The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months, reduced the symptoms of a group of students by 40 percent.“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students,” said lead author Dr. Brandon Alderman. “It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression.”Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in combating depression. Alderman and Dr. Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training(MAP) enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport. They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing, which enabled those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention.Shors, who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampuspart of the brain involved in memory and learningsays scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.The idea for the human intervention(干预)came from her laboratory studies, she says, with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.By learning to focus their attention and exercise, people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past, Shors says.“We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be affective in improving mental health,” said Alderman. “The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”25.

What can we know about what the participants did in the research?A. They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.B. They thought quietly and then took exercise.C. They took exercise longer than they thought. D. They took exercise while thinking quietly.28. What is Shors main purpose of her studies?A. To find out certain brain cells of humans. B.

Worse, it wasnt easy to carry them aroundand trust me, they werent light on at least seven moves. Yet I never once looked at them. They sat in our basement, covered in a thick layer of dust. If books and papers could wonder, theyd wonder why they were still under our stairs after all those years. What were my plans for them? When would the Big Day come?Well, the Big Day eventually did arrive; only it was different than expected. My wife, always more accepting changes than I am, finally convinced me to clear out the entire mess. The pain I experienced was also unexpected. I didnt feel nostalgia(怀旧的), or suffer pains for long-lost magical moments of my education. No, what hurt me was to come across those terrible papers Id written, reminders of poor study habits, immaturity(不成熟), and an embarrassing lack of comprehension. It was great to get rid of them. I wont have to carry those dusty, filthy(脏兮兮的) things on our next move. But it was also a clearing of personal history. Initially, I struggled with this. My books, my notes, and my papers were primary source materials, documenting an important time in my life. To clear them out was to clear out the truth. What Ive learned since taking this leap is that the lesson is more important than the truth. I feel as if much of my real education during my college years isnt in the documents but now in me. So I am glad to free myself of this physical burden of carrying them around. And whats better is that I dont need to look back on those painful moments. They belong to the past. You might want to consider doing something similar, either under the stairs of your basement or in your mind. Not so long ago, a very smart person created a new holidayDiscardia!to be celebrated four times a year. Its a great idea, and every time I clear things out, I feel better physically and psychologically. Discardias slogan is “Let go of everything that doesnt make your life awesome!” What is the personal rubbish piling in your life? Clear it out and make your life awesome. 29. What made the author finally determine to desert all his college materials?A. His wifes persuasion. B. His changes in life. C. His lack of patience. D. His terrible experience. 30. What can we learn from the third paragraph?A. The author struggled at first for a sense of losing part of his history. B. The author was totally unsatisfied with his past education.C. The author felt regretful about the education he received in the past.D. The authors past was full of pains because he was immature.  31. What would be the best title for the passage? A.  Forget Your History B. Sort It Out C. Live in the Past   D. Let It Go D“When your mother scolds you, you can look elsewhere and think about other things. Just ignore her words. But remember: such a tough attitude cannot be used often.” These words are from a series of cartoons which outline skills for children to fight against their mothers. The images have created heated debate among Chinese netizens（网民）.Regarded as “a book for children aged 6 to 12 who are always scolded by their parents”， the cartoons, drawn by two 10-year-old Beijing girls, list over 20 skills which children can use to deal with their mothers anger such as crying, pretending to be ashamed, fleeing into the toilet and pleasing her afterwards. Each skill is described with vivid pictures and humorous notes. The creativity of the young girls has amazed netizens, the Yangtse Evening Post reported on Thursday.According to one of the girls mothers, her daughter once received a poor mark in an exam, and the mother blamed her and compared her performance with another classmate. The daughters feelings led to her creating the cartoons. The girls father, who first posted the pictures on his Sohu Microblog on Monday, said he hopes parents pay close attention to the pictures, allow children to feel free to develop their own characteristics and try not to criticize them so often. “The cartoons, although an individual case, reflect a modern phenomenon and some of the problems within Chinese family education,” said Yu Qinfang, an expert on family education. According to a survey of 104 children and their parents, Yu discovered that as many as 51.9 percent of primary school students hate being urged to do things by their mothers. “Not giving children enough time and hurrying them to do things seems to be a very tiny detail within family life, but it is potentially a huge problem which can easily be ignored by parents. A mothers blame may lead to negative feelings within her childs heart,” Yu said. “Parents should learn to blame less and be more patient.”32. What amazed Chinese netizens according to the text?A.
