Andrew was a smart boy when he was young. He liked doing things in a way that he thought to be clever. But sometimes he made wrong choices （選擇）.

One day, his father gave him ten dollars and asked him to buy some goldfish. When he got to the market, he found that the killifish looked like goldfish and that they were much cheaper. So he bought some killifish and kept the rest of the money for himself.

When he got home, his father found what Andrew did at once. He put the fish in the tank （水槽） without saying anything first. The next day he said to his son, “Andrew, do you know what you bought yesterday? Are they goldfish?” Andrew didn't know what to say. His father went on, “Well, I'm happy that you know how to save money. I also know you are good at watching things around you. But it's not right to be dishonest （不誠(chéng)實(shí)）” From then on, Andrew's father often asked him to do some chores, like buying daily things and helping his uncle in his store.

Several years later, Andrew became a successful businessman. When talking about the key to his success, he said, “Thanks to my father, I got to know myself well and developed in a right way."

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（干預(yù)）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.

Answer the questions（根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題）

Mary Donaldson is worried about her 16-year-old daughter, Sophia. Six months ago, Sophia came back from a party, upset and unhappy. From then on, she thought of nothing but how to lose weight and become beautiful. She refused to eat and kept on doing exercise. Sophia had always been a little heavy, so when she decided to go on a diet, Mary encouraged her. She felt that her daughter would look more attractive if she lost 10 kilograms. However, Sophia has lost 20 kilograms until now. Her eating and exercising habits are having a harmful effect on her health. She is too thin and is often sick.

Her mother is trying to prevent her from going on a diet and losing weight, but Sophia thinks that she is still too heavy and refuses to eat as usual. Sophia’s mind is full of the idea of looking like a model（模特）. Every day she goes to a club to do exercise. When she is not there, she spends her time reading magazines like “Fashion & Beauty”（《時(shí)尚與美》）. The models in these magazines are very thin and beautiful. Sophia says, “If I look like models, I will be happy and all the boys will like me.”

Mary doesn’t know how to help her daughter. She feels sorry for having encouraged her at first, because Sophia no longer feels good or pleased with her body. She’s afraid that Sophia will never be happy if she keeps comparing herself with the models in the magazines. Mary tries to tell Sophia that true beauty comes from within. Common people are not supposed to look like models. The most ordinary face becomes beautiful when the person is filled with confidence, wisdom and the joy of life.

1.When did Sophia decide to lose weight?

2.Besides doing exercise, what else did Sophia do to lose weight?

3.How much weight has Sophia lost until now?

4.Does Sophia eat as usual after she has lost some weight?

5.Why does she spend much time reading the magazine “Fashion & Beauty ”?

6.Do you think Sophia really understands the meaning of the true beauty? Why?
