22、Mindfulness meditation(冥想) is a practice used to achieve mental quiet and a sense of calm. It is a series of steps used to encourage reflection and deep breathing and to increase self-awareness.
A mindfulness meditation course may be as effective at reducing anxiety as a common medication(药物), according to a new study. The research, published on November 9 in JAMA Psychiatry, involved a group of 276 adults with untreated anxiety disorders. Half of the patients were randomly selected to take 10 to 20mg of escitalopram, the generic form of Lexapro, a common medication used to treat anxiety and depression. The other half were assigned to an eight-week course in mindfulness-based stress reduction. The results were stunning: Both groups experienced about a 20% reduction in their anxiety symptoms over the eight-week period.
The patients assigned to the meditation group were asked to attend a mindfulness meditation group class in-person once a week. Each class was around two-and-a-half hours long and held at a local clinic. They were also asked to meditate on their own for around 40 minutes per day. Hoge, the lead author on the study, compared the time commitment to “taking an exercise class or an art class”.
But according to Joseph Arpaia, an Oregon-based psychiatrist specializing in mindfulness and meditation, the daily time commitment is likely too much for many patients dealing with anxiety.
Arpaia says that he has worked to find less time-intensive mindfulness methods to help patients manage their anxiety. One technique he teaches is called a “one-breath reset” that helps patients calm themselves over the course of a single breath.
But despite his reservations, “It’s always interesting to see meditation work, and it works as well as medication,” he said. “My hope would be that people realize that there are things other than medication that can work.”
“My other hope would be that they realize that if sitting and following your breath makes you feel relaxed, great, but it doesn’t make everyone feel relaxed. Find something that does. Read a book, go for a walk, spend time gardening,” he said.
【1】What’s the main feature of mindfulness meditation?
A．It works in removing anxiety.
B．It makes people’s mind empty.
C．It drives people to keep calm.
D．It focuses on thoughts and awareness.
【2】What can we know about the new study?
A．Its result is hard to understand.
B．Its participants should attend courses face to face.
C．Its function is like an exercise class or an art class.
D．Its participants are divided into two equal groups freely.
【3】Which word can best describe the author’s attitude to the new study’s result?
A．Objective.
B．Skeptical.
C．Conservative.
D．Approving.
【4】How does Joseph Arpaia expect people to reduce anxiety?
A．They learn more about meditation.
B．They can bring a “one-breath reset” into focus.
C．They choose a proper way to relax besides meditation.
D．They can read books to develop mind instead of medication.
23、After a long winter, spring is the ideal time for sightseeing and exploring London’s green spaces.
1. Explore London’s parks and gardens
Spring time is one of the perfect times of year to explore London’s parks and gardens, when the city’s plants are blooming. Go and admire the rainbow of azaleas (杜鹃花) at Richmond Park or hire a chair in St James’s Park with a view of Buckingham Palace.
2. Enjoy the entertainment at spring festivals
There are a good many festivals and events held in London throughout spring. Make the most of the cultural exhibitions at the British Library Spring Festival, the Sundance Film Festival or the London Literature Festival; head for Shakespeares Globe which hosts open-air Shakespeare performances from late April to early October.
3. Get active
Warm weather means there’s no excuse for staying indoors, so go for a walking or cycling tour of London. Alternatively, walk the Thames Walkway, which follows the river all the way from central London to the countryside; make the most of London’s Boris Bikes which are available for hire all around the city and are free of charge for the first half hour. If you’re really looking for a challenge, take part in the famous London Marathon held annually in April.
4. Take to the waters
Whether cruising (航行) along the Thames River, hiring a rowing boat in Hyde Park or riding a canal boat around Little Venice, there are lots of fun ways to get on the water in London. Held every year since 1829, the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race allows teams from England’s most famous universities to complete against each other, and draws huge crowds of watching people.
【1】Which of the following can you do in London’s parks?
A．You can see Buckingham Palace from St James’s Park.
B．You can use London’s Boris Bikes for free for a whole day.
C．You can watch outdoor Shakespeare performances.

24、When you’re behind the wheel, distractions (分心) cost lives. Nevertheless, drivers take selfies, and respond to text messages. 【1】
Smartphones are often at the root of these tragedies. As Big Tech sets its sights on modern vehicles, it’s appropriate to ask if it’s time to limit attention-stealing technology that distracts the driver.
Big Tech wants to take on the automotive industry. And it is good at grabbing both attention and information from users. At first, the goal of these technology companies was to give away services at no cost, simply to attract a customer base. 【2】 Their increasing thirst for valuable user information has led them to the automotive industry, where a whole new world of data awaits. Location data, frequent destinations, passenger preferences — such data is found in family cars. 【3】
Mobile tech is walled off from vehicle operating systems by software that keeps infotainment (information and entertainment) features away from the mission-critical driving electronics. If auto makers give up their core operating system to tech powerhouses, they will essentially become hardware suppliers to Silicon Valley.
【4】 Their responsibility is to keep attention on the road, providing vehicle information and a small amount of entertainment options while getting passengers from place to place as safely as possible. Smartphone makers and digital-media providers don’t have this priority. They want eyes on their products, not on the road.
With electric vehicles transforming the auto industry, and artificial intelligence more common than ever, we’re at a dangerous moment. 【5】 Because their hardware is wrapped around families, they have a duty to keep them safe. The only way they can do that is to maintain control of the driver’s seat.
The quality, safety and security will make or break trust in auto makers. Without it, cars will be simply one more intrusive and risky mobile device.
A．Car companies have priorities opposed to those of Big Tech.
B．Now they exist to sell information about their users to advertisers.
C．They enjoy the convenience and fun brought by modern technology.
D．Car makers are, and should be, the most trusted technology companies in the world.
E．Currently video-streaming services are starting to be built into car operating systems.
F．And operating systems and autonomous-driving software are all gateways for this information.
G．Statistics show that an average of eight people a day die in accidents caused by distracted driving.
