六、信息还原。
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
We know that spending time in nature reduces(降低) stress and improves our mood(情绪). We also know that the act of hugging ourselves or another living thing can improve our well-being. So, why not try to mix the two together? 1 Read on to learn more about the benefits of hugging a tree!
Take a fresh breath.
It is well known that trees produce oxygen. So, when you are close to a tree and hug it in a forest, you are naturally in a more oxygen-rich environment. 2 especially if the forest or woods are away from a main road or airline.
Improve heart health.
One study found that when we experience nature—whether by hiking in nearby mountains or simply looking at trees and birds on the way to work—we can increase our heart rate variability(可变性). 3
Fight against depression(抑郁).
4 Researchers are even calling trees nature's Prozac which is used to treat the illness of depression. When you hug a tree, you become grounded to its powerful roots, receiving energy that can help you to fight depression year-round.
Reduce stress.
Trees are one of nature's greatest stress-reducers. A study reported that hugging a tree for only 21 seconds can lead to an increase in oxytocin(后叶催产素). The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. 5
If you don't have a tree in your yard, go to visit the local park or hike in the closest woodlands. Find a tree and give it a hug. Get over your fear of embarrassment. So what if passers-by laugh at you? The hug you give is not just to the tree but to yourself and your spirit.
