24、   A new research has discovered that meditation（冥想）and oxygen sport together reduce depression（抑郁）. 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（交互的）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 hippocampus-part of the brain involved in memory and learning-says 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.”

【1】What made the research so different?

A.Adopting a way of meaningful talk. B.Treating depression with special medicine.

C.Combining the two ways to reduce depression. D.Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed.

【2】The underlined word "combasting" in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.

A.fighting B.developing C.improving D.examining

【3】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.

【4】What is Shors' main purpose of her studies?

A.To find out certain brain cells of humans. B.To study the production of new brain cells.

C.To offer people a new method to reduce stress. D.To decide the links between stress and exercise.

25、   Take a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off（打盹）or even completely asleep.

Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack（缺乏）of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.

Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty（青春期）, the body's internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p. m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 a. m. to get a full night's sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a. m.

However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8：30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression（沮丧）, The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.

【1】Which of the following would the author agree with?

A．High school students must go to bed before 10 p. m.

B．High schools should begin their school day at a later time

C．Most schools should push forward the start of their school day.

D．Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older.

【2】The second paragraph mainly discusses ________.

A．why high school students should get more sleep

B．what's life like for high school students at present

C．why high school students feel sleepy in the classroom

D．how to lighten high school students' homework load

【3】The underlined word "shifts" probably means "________”.

A．arrives

B．reduces

C．increases

D．changes
