C Feel sad?Hug a tree!Recently,many people shared their experiences of hugging trees online and they turned to trees to help with their problems Hugging a tree is a different experience from hugging a person or an animal. Maybe it sounds strange,but there's a science behind the tree-hugging. The“Biophilia Hypothesis(亲生命假说)”tells us the reason.It was from US scientist Edward Wilson in 1984.He said that humans are born to love being around other living things.Humans'love for nature is in their DNA.This idea helps us know about why people choose green,natural places instead of city sights.It's also one of the reasons why people love cute pets. Some studies show why tree-hugging can help with our health.A study in 2021 reported that the activity can increase oxytocin ()It has something to do with our feelings.The higher the level 第3页， (of oxytocin is,the happier you may be.Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can bring more oxytocin in our body. What's more,when a person is angry,sad or very worried,more cortisol (will come out. Hugging trees helps make cortisol less and less,which makes us feel better. Although the activity is helpful to us,it's important to keep in mind that we shouldn't hurt nature while doing it.Trees play an important role in our ecosystem because they are home to many small living things that are too small to be seen.So remember to be kind when hugging trees-just like how you hug a friend! 42.Which of the following can explain the "Biophilia Hypothesis"? A.People enjoy staying in natural places. B.People like living in the cities better. C.People are interested in visiting museums D.People like doing exercises in the sports centre. 43.According to the passage,how will you feel after you hug the tree? A.Afraid. B.Relaxed. C.Angry. D.Sad. 44.What is the relationship between bad feelings and the level of cortisol?(x-bad feelings,y the level of cortisol) A.OT B.Ol C.OT 45.What does the article mainly tell us? A.We should not hurt trees and animals in nature. B.There are many ways to feel happy and relaxed. C.We should plant more trees to have green sights. D.Hugging trees in the right way helps us feel better. 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。（共5小题，计5分） Travelling is a good way to spend some time with your family and friends.It not only relaxes you, but also teaches you about different cultures and customs.46..For this reason,many people love travelling.But the most important thing which you have to do before going anywhere is to make successful travelling plans.Here are some useful tips.
