How do you relax after a stressful day in the office? There are many ways to help you relax. It takes a little effort to get there but the benefits are great for our stressed-out lives. I am talking about the activity of forest bathing.
It was introduced as a national health programme by the country's government. Stressed Japanese workers are today still relaxing and reconnecting with nature. The Forest Therapy Society has certified 62 forest therapy sites in the country and the forest bathing movement is also booming in other parts of the world. It says, "Just as bathing in a hot spring helps to soak your cares away, going for a walk in the woods is said to have a comforting effect."
Forest bathing is about taking time to wander through woodland with no fixed plan or route and just expose yourself to the forest atmosphere. That's particularly good for people with mental health issues. A study conducted in 24 forests across Japan found that walking among trees lowered blood pressure, the pulse rate, thus improving our immune systems.
Another study carried out a few years ago by Stanford University in the US, found similar benefits. Brain scans showed reduced activity in an area of the brain linked to the risk of mental illness in participants who took a 90-minute walk among oaks, birds and squirrels. One of the researchers, Gregory Bratman, said, "There's an increasing body of evidence showing that natural areas benefit us at least emotionally with our mood and our physical development too." The evidence seems clear that forest bathing is a shot in the arm for stressed-out workers. So now is the time to get out and lose yourself in the natural environment,

Test-taking tips
Passing tests is a huge part of succeeding at school. Clearly, if you want to do well on a test,
you need to prepare by learning the material(资料) {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Just breathe.
Even the best prepared student sometimes gets nervous before a test. Nervous feelings can cause people to forget facts that they know. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Breathing deeply is helpful for this. So is moving your body slightly, such as by rolling your shoulders around. Try to arrive for a test a few minutes early, so you can relax before it starts.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
When you are handed a test, look over all the questions before you begin. Read them carefully, noticing details. Also pay attention to how many points each question is worth. Divide your time based on the percentage of your grade each question is worth.
First answer questions you know and then go back to the difficult ones. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} But try to write an answer for every question on the test, even if you're not sure of the answer. The only exception(例外) is if you will lose points for wrong answers {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. If you're not sure whether you should change an answer, it's best not to. More often than not, your first instinct (本能) will be correct.
Try your best.
Above all, study well and try your best. If you do that, you can be proud of whatever score you get.

A. Pay attention! B. Try to make yourself understood! C. Keep private conversations private! D. You can only control your own behavior. E. Always make yourself available of your phone. F. Follow the rules of restaurants and other public places. G. This happens all the time-on buses, in restaurants, everywhere! |
What do you do in a situation like this? You're eating dinner with friends at a nice restaurant. You're having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking loudly about problems he's having with his girlfriend. He talks for almost ten minutes! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Many people find cell phones useful in their daily lives. But we've all sat next to someone talking too loudly on a cell phone. You may want to tell the loudmouth to end the conversation, but let the management take care of those noisy customers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Here are a few rules:
▪Off means off! {#blank#}3{#/blank#} If a sign says "turn off cell phones", don't use your phone.
▪{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Speak softly and for a short time. Try to move away from other people.
▪Lights off, phone off! Never make calls in a theater or at the movies.
▪{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. And watch where you're going when you're walking down the streets and talking on the phone.
As more people use cell phones, things are only going to get worse. So, the next time you're getting ready to make a call, stop and consider the people around you.
