一、阅读理解。
根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
When people are not happy, they usually do a lot of things to make themselves feel better. Some people listen to music. Others talk to their friends. And some people find that hugging a tree can also make them feel better.
Hugging a tree may sound a little strange. But studies show that it can do good to our physical and mental health. For example, when you hug a tree, the tree releases(释放) some chemicals(化学物质). The chemicals can make you feel relaxed and happy. They can also help lower(降低) stress and make your body stronger.
Moreover, hugging a tree can also help you feel more connected to nature. In modern society, people are often too busy and spend most of their time indoors. Hugging a tree can bring us back to nature and make us feel the beauty and power of it. It can also make us realize that we are a part of nature.
Though tree-hugging is helpful for people's body and mind, we should think about many things before we do that.
