21、Keeping a bit of the outdoors inside is nothing new, but houseplant collections have become a popular social media trend — which means that more people than ever are discovering the comfort and beauty that caring for plants brings.
【1】 Exposure to greenery, whether you have indoor plants, take walks outside or tend to a garden, has been found to have multiple mental-health benefits, such as lowering stress, decreasing feelings of depression, increasing sociability, restoring focus, improving cognitive performance, improving mood and increasing self-esteem.
“One study showed that patients at a hospital who had plants in their room reported less pain, lower blood pressure, less fatigue and less anxiety than patients without plants in their rooms,” says Jenny Seham, a New York-based psychologist. She explains: “Cortisol, the stress hormone, has been shown to lower with plant interaction, reducing fatigue, irritability (易怒) and blood pressure.”
Research has also shown that having plants and gardening increase productivity and levels of serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for lifting our mood. 【2】 And it is also opposed to dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
Before you fill your space with greenery, consider how you’ll interact with your plants. 【3】 Can you care for them daily?
If you have a small space or aren’t sure how much time you’re willing to invest in “plant parenting.” Start slow. “【4】 It can engage you by its smell or colour, creating a positive mood response with every interaction,” says Seham.
A.For instance, is there enough space for plants in areas where you spend a lot of time?
B.Half the fun of gardening is that you never know exactly what’s going to come up.
C.It’s a feel-good hobby that’s supported by science.
D.While indoor gardening can boost your feelings of wellbeing, help reduce stress and promote relaxation, it’s not, of course, a substitute for a trained mental health professional.
E.The theory is that plant care helps us focus on the present moment and provides a feeling of accomplishment.
F.Just one plant can make a difference.
22、Zara Rutherford, who is just 19 years old, is flying around the world by herself in a small plane. When she finishes her trip, which will take over two months, she’ll become the youngest woman to fly all the way around the globe by herself.
Ms Rutherford, who’s British-Belgian, began her trip in Belgium on August18. She plans to fly across five continents, through 52 countries before returning to Belgium in November.
She’s making this trip in a small two-seater plane called a microlight. One of the seats has been replaced with an extra gas tank, which will allow Ms Rutherford to cover longer distances. The plane has had several other updates for safety, including a second radio, and satellite communications that let her talk to people whenever she needs to.
To follow her route, Ms Rutherford needs to be able to see, since her plane can’t be guided using its instruments alone. That means she can’t fly at night or in bad weather. To avoid clouds, she has to fly close to the land or ocean, which can be dangerous.
Because of the danger, Ms Rutherford worked hard to prepare for emergencies. She has even been trained in escaping from a plane landing in the ocean.
She plans to stay a night or two in each place to visit with schools and youth groups. She advises young girls to explore areas like aviation (航空), science, mathematics, and engineering. As her father points out, currently, only about 5% of pilots are women.
“It’s an easy thing to say, but just go for it,” Ms Rutherford says. “If you don’t try and see how high you can fly, then you’ll never know.”
【1】What can we learn about Zara Rutherford from the passage?
A.She will fly around the world with her parents.
B.She is the youngest woman to fly around the globe.
C.She will stay in 52 countries before returning.
D.Flying at a lower altitude can be a danger to her.
【2】What does Zara Rutherford suggest young girls do?
A.Choose what you love.
B.Treasure what you have.
C.Challenge difficult things.
D.Struggle for better grades.
【3】Which of the following can best describe Zara Rutherford?
A.Lovely and intelligent.
B.Ambitious and inspiring.
C.Hardworking and modest.
D.Generous and kindhearted.
【4】What is the text?
A.A diary entry.
B.A book review.
C.A research article.
D.A news report.
