B
Are you a fan of spending your lunch breaks in an urban (城市的) park? Or do you walk your dog around it each morning and evening? Well, we have good news: spending just 20 minutes in a park every day will make you happier and less stressed — whether or not you're exercising while you're there.
Two new studies have shown the benefits of spending time in parks.The latest, from the University of Michigan, suggests spending at least 20 minutes walking or sitting in a place where you're in contact with nature greatly lowers stress levels.Lead researcher MaryCarol Hunter said, “You don't have to travel to the wild lands.Getting out of an office building and sitting next to a tree can be enough.”
In a separate study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, researchers found people who visited their local urban parks felt happier.“Overall, we found park visitors reported an improvement in emotional (情绪的) wellbeing after the park visit,” said lead researcher Hon Yuen.“We did not find that levels of physical activity were related to improved emotional wellbeing.Instead, we found that time spent in the park was related to improved emotional wellbeing.”
The results are perhaps unsurprising — many studies have highlighted the benefits of nature on a person's emotional health.A review of nature treatments for emotional health care found that naturebased activities contributed to a reduction in levels of anxiety and stress.
Meanwhile, a separate study by King's College London researchers found being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, looking at the sky, and feeling in contact with nature were connected with higher levels of emotional wellbeing.In some cases, these benefits influence people positively for up to seven hours afterwards.
All of these studies show the need to design greener cities for the future and protect our parks.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现,每天花20分钟在城市公园活动、接触大自然,有助于人的情绪健康,减轻压力,提升幸福感。

C.Traveling in wild lands can be dangerous.
D.Office buildings are the main cause of stress.
