While conquering the world's swimming pools in the late 1990s and the 2000s, Amanda Beard had already included breathing exercises in her training. Several years after the end of her athletic career, she discovered walking meditation. Today the seven-time US Olympic medalist practices walking meditation in nature, around the house, or while walking the dog. It's a daily practice with the focused mindfulness of meditation that contributes positively to every aspect of her life, she says.
You don't need equipment or a designated space to start. The idea of a walking meditation is to pay attention to the way your body feels, noticing things like the sky, trees, tuning into all of your senses. This means you can meditate "on the go" in the countryside, in the city, in your backyard, and virtually anywhere. A simple, 10-minute walking meditation for beginners requires that you just start at ease. Consider what you hear, smell and see. Think about how your feet touch the ground. Fully focus on these feelings.
A report in Health Promotion Perspectives also found that walking meditation can improve your balance, adjust your heart rate, boost your mental focus, and help you battle anxiety and depression. "The benefits of meditation are many," says Dr. Schramm, a board-certified family physician and meditation teacher. "When we do this over and over again, we train the brain to focus on only one thing at a time and this increases both our blood flow and actual neuronal (神经元) changes within our brains. "
"The magic of meditation is to be able to help you connect with yourself; meditation shouldn't feel a certain way," says Tara Stiles, a yoga and wellness expert. It's a common mistake in meditation: People fear a wandering mind. "A wandering mind is completely normal," Stiles says. "Even experienced meditators aren't sitting there never having a thought, but when they have the thought they choose to guide themselves back to their breath instead of getting frustrated.
(1)、What is walking meditation?A、Plain walking. B、Mindful walking. C、A competitive sport. D、Deep thought while stationary.(2)、Which of the following is recommended to a beginner starting walking meditation?A、A familiar environment. B、A 10-minute walking time. C、A relaxed but observant state. D、A piece of special equipment.(3)、What is the brain's reaction to walking meditation according to Dr. Schramm?A、Enhancing the blood flow. B、Undergoing balance training. C、Having more active thoughts. D、Decreasing neuronal changes.(4)、What is Tara Stiles' attitude towards distractions?A、Carefree. B、Frustrated. C、Concerned. D、Positive. -
2、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
At just seven years old, Angelina Tsuboi discovered her passion for innovation. It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school's Grade 2class. Today , at18, the Grade 12 student's initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode (解码) real-world problems.
In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post-class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there.
When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn't be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy ― a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge ― which guides users through CPR using vibrations (震动) to regulate breath. After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn't lose her cool over. "There's no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛)," she says.
The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US.
When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.
Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics ― combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.
"There's not enough optimism in the world," she says. "I have also been in situations in my life where I've lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you're in to make it somewhat better. "
(1)、What is Angelina's pursuit?A、To design games for kids. B、To stimulate teen's curiosity. C、To address problems through technology. D、To find innovative approaches to digital challenges.(2)、What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3?A、She couldn't breathe regularly. B、She was inspired by celebrities. C、She replaced CPR with an app. D、She was humble about her success.(3)、What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track?A、To direct pilots' career paths. B、To help to-be pilots find funds. C、To pair future pilots with airlines. D、To evaluate pilot training schools.(4)、What might be the best title?A、Breaking the code B、Bearing growing pains C、Facing life as it is D、Following role models -

Every autumn, _(million) of North American monarch butterflies begin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4,000 kilometers south and findway to California or Mexico. However, until recently no one knew how they did this.
A team of scientists _(lead) by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer. They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day.

These two pieces of information - the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky- allow the butterfly to determine the way to go (eventual), it manages to reach the place it will spend the winter.
