21、Mind-wandering can help boost our mood
Prior research suggests a wandering mind is an unhappy mind: We tend to be less happy when we're not focused on what we're doing. That's likely true.【1】 For example, as one 2013 study showed, when people found their wandering thoughts more interesting, their moods actually improved while mind-wandering. Similarly, other studies have found that thinking about people you love or thinking more about your potential future than about what happened in the past produces positive results.
How you use mind-wandering may also be important. 【2】 It has been mostly unexplored in previous research, but likely has distinct effects. As one 2017 study found, people who use daydreaming for self-reflection typically have more pleasant thoughts than people who simply think about unpleasant experiences.
There is even some evidence that mind-wandering may be more of an antidote (缓解方法) to depression than a cause. People who are depressed may simply replay events from their past to better understand what happened to cause their dark mood and avoid future problems. Also, when researchers studied whether a negative mood preceded or allowed a mind-wandering episode, they found poor moods led to more mind-wandering but not vice versa. 【3】
Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind-wandering that is more freely moving can actually improve your mood. In this study, participants were prompted randomly via cell phone over three days to report how they were feeling and how much their thoughts were freely moving and related to what they were doing. After analyzing the data, the researchers found that when people's thoughts were of-task, they generally felt more negative—similar to what earlier findings showed. 【4】“Our findings suggest there might be positive aspects of mind-wandering," the researchers conclude.
【5】 If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I'm happier because of it.
A.In some cases, people intentionally mind-wander.
B.Mind-wandering is part of our human inheritance.
C.Again, I find that science supports my own experience.
D.There may be a right and a wrong way to mind-wander.
E.But if their thoughts were free -moving, it had the opposite effect.
F.In fact, the content of wandering thoughts makes a big difference.
G.It suggests that mind-wandering may be helping people feel better.
22、 Nowadays, more and more students are suffering from myopia (近视), or near-sightedness. It is always advise to seek a doctor to fix your condition. Here are a few tips on how to prevent it.
1. Eat green leafy vegetables.
Maybe you’re not a fan of greens. 【1】 Green leafy vegetables, just like carrots, contains lutein (叶黄素), which is important to your eyes. It lowers the risk of light-caused damage and provides huge health benefits to your body.
2. 【2】
Your eyes and facial muscles also deserve a good rest. For every 20 minutes of staring at a screen or reading something, you need to look 20 feet away from you for a period of 20 seconds. Exercise should also be practiced on those of your eyes. 【3】
3. Drink water.
What water can’t do? It keeps your mind and body working well. 【4】 According to experts, the most common eye complaint is linked to dry eye and its symptoms.
4. Get outside.
【5】 This will decrease the aching in the muscles around eyes. A study made last 2014 suggests that the risk of near-sightedness in children reduces about 2% with each extra hour spent outside on a weekly basis.
A. Create a daily routine for yourself.
B. Rest your eyes and facial muscles regularly.
C. Drinking a lot of water keeps your eyes from drying out.
D. It helps your eyes in adjusting to daylight and far distances.
E. However, research shows that playing video games helps improve a good eyesight.
