It has become a popular weekend activity for students in China recently. When you walk in a forest, you breathe in fresh air with phytoncides — special substances released by trees. Studies show these substances can lower blood pressure and reduce exam stress. A 2023 survey found that 83% of teenagers who tried forest bathing felt less anxious about schoolwork. Unlike intense hiking, forest bathing does not require strenuous exercise. You can sit on a fallen log, listen to bird songs, or touch the rough bark of old trees. These small actions help you focus on the present and forget busy schedules. Now, many schools in Zhejiang and Sichuan are adding forest bathing to their outdoor education curriculum. Teachers say it helps students build a closer bond with nature and learn to respect all living things. Forests are not just beautiful sights — they are natural healers for our mind and body. Let’s put down our phones and take a slow walk in the woods this weekend! （　　）1. What do people do in forest bathing according to Paragraph 1? A. Go intense hiking quickly. B. Spend relaxing time in forests. C. Climb tall trees to take photos. D. Do strenuous exercise. （　　）2. Why is forest bathing good for teenagers according to the passage? A. It helps them get better grades. B. It lowers their school-related stress. C. It teaches them to plant trees. D. It helps them make more friends. （　　）3. What does the underlined word “substances” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. 物质 B. 压力 C. 树皮 D. 课程 （　　）4. What can students do in forest bathing according to Paragraph 3? A. Run fast to finish the route. B. Listen to bird songs and touch tree bark. C. Climb trees to pick wild fruits. D. Take many photos for social media. （　　）5. What is the main idea of the passage? A.
