It says that staying in a park for 20 minutes can make us feel better even without doing any exercise. Many other studies show that playing in the park can make stress levels lower, and help with disappointment and depression(抑郁). Parks don’t just mean large modern parks. Green spaces around workplaces and small green areas in neighborhoods are all helpful. Why are parks so great？According to a survey in Beijing, people with the habit of visiting parks can do enough exercise. Parks have nice environments, and they let people do simple exercise. According to some psychologists(心理学家), parks are special places. They’re far from our daily life and give us a feeling of harmony(和谐感). Moreover, parks make us more social. When we’re there, we can break down the walls between people in modern communities, and make new friends by chance. For people who work in offices and face a lot of pressure(压力), going to a park for 20 minutes is a good way to relax. When we are tired or feel upset, we can try spending 20 minutes in a park. Enjoy the beauty of nature, listen to the birds singing, and let nature make our bad moods go away. ( ) 49. According to the text, what is the “twenty minutes in the park” theory？ A.

But if you keep these feelings in your heart and don’t talk about them with others, you may fall ill. If you talk with someone who cares a lot about you, like your dad or mom, you may feel better. 55 But if you don’t want to talk with your dad or mom, it’s better to find another trusty(可信的) grown-up, like a teacher at school. Maybe this person can understand what you’re thinking about and give you useful suggestions. Once you know who you can talk to, you should choose when and where to talk. You may find it difficult to say what you think. That’s OK. 56 If the person can’t understand what you mean right away, try to say it in a different way or give an example. You may feel shy about sharing your feelings. 57 It is amazing how much better you will feel after talking about your problems. 58 A. Write it down on a piece(张) of paper. B. The way a person feels inside is important. C. But it is important to share feelings when you need help. D. Shy people usually don’t like to talk to others. E. You will know that you are not alone with your problems or worries. F. And it also helps you get closer to the people who care about you. 第三节 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。（共5小题，59-62题每小题2分，63题4分；满分12分） F Do you feel sad during the winter months? If so, you may have seasonal affective disorder(SAD)(季节性情绪失调). SAD usually starts in autumn or winter and ends in spring or early summer. As the weather gets colder, you feel more tired, sleepy(困倦的) and even hopeless. When spring returns, you may become well again. However, we still don’t know the exact(确切的) reason of SAD. Some scientists think that hormone(荷尔蒙) changes can cause that. During winter, it stays dark outside for much of the day. That causes the brain(脑) to make more melatonin(褪黑素). The melatonin makes you feel sleepy and less excited. Getting more sunlight(日光) is the best way to deal with SAD. Doctors say people should spend some time outside every day during the winter. But if you feel deeply unhappy, you should go to see a doctor. 59. When does SAD usually start？ _______________________________________________________________________________ 60.
