A Grassroots Remedy
Most of us
spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this
end, we walk the dog, play golf,
go
fishing,
sit
in
the
garden,
drink
outside
rather
than
inside
the
pub,
have
a
picnic,
live
in
the
suburbs, go to the
seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The
most popular leisure activity
in
Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers
(
慢跑者
) jog, they don’t run
the streets. Every
one of them
instinctively heads to the park or the river. It
is my profound belief that not only do
we all need nature, but we all seek
nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.
But
despite
this,
our
children
are
growing
up
nature-deprived
(
丧失
).
I
spent
my
boyhood
climbing trees on
Streatham Common, South
London. These
days, children are robbed of these
ancient
freedoms,
due
to
problems
like
crime,
traffic,
the
loss
of
the
open
spaces and
odd
new
perceptions about what
is best for children, that is to say, things that
can be bought, rather than
things that
can be found.
The truth is to be found elsewhere. A
study in the US: families had moved to better
housing
and
the
children
were
assessed
for
ADHD
—
attention
deficit
hyperactivity
disorder
(
多动症
).
Those whose accommodation had more
natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those
who
had the same improvement in
material surroundings but no nice view improved
just 4%.
A
study
in
Sweden
indicated
that
kindergarten
children
who
could
play
in
a
natural
environment
had
less
illness
and
greater
physical
ability
than
children
used
only
to
a
normal
playground.
A
US
study
suggested
that
when
a
school
gave
children
access
to
a
natural
environment,
academic levels were raised across the entire
school.
Another
study found that children play differently in a
natural environment. In playgrounds,
children create a hierarchy
(
等级
) based on physical
abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead.
But when a grassy area was planted with
bushes, the children got much more into fantasy
play,
and the social hierarchy was now
based on imagination and creativity.
Most
bullying
(
恃强凌弱
)
is
found
in
schools
where
there
is
a
tarmac
(
柏油碎石
)
playground; the least bullying is in a
natural area that the children are encouraged to
explore. This
reminds me unpleasantly
of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its harsh
tarmac, where I used to
hang about in
corners fantasising about wildlife.
But children are frequently
discouraged from involvement with natural spaces,
for health and
safety reasons, for fear
that they might get dirty or that they might cause
damage. So, instead, the
damage is done
to the children themselves: not to their bodies
but to their souls.
One of the great problems of modern
childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and
expensively
treated
with
drugs.
Yet
one
study
after
another
indicates
that
contact
with
nature
gives
huge
benefits to ADHD children. However, we
spend money on drugs rather than on green places.
The life of old
people is measurably better when they have access
to nature. The increasing
emphasis for
the growing population of old people is in quality
rather than quantity of years. And
study after study finds that a garden
is the single most important thing in finding that
quality.
In
wider
and
more
difficult
areas
of
life,
there
is
evidence
to
indicate
that
natural
surroundings improve
all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and
aggressive behaviour are
reduced when
there is contact with the natural world.
Dr William
Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the
Protection of Birds, states in his
study, “A natural environment can
reduce violent behaviour because its restorative
process helps
reduce anger and
impulsive behaviour.” Wild places need encouraging
for this reason, no matte
r
how small their contribution.
We
tend
to
look
on
nature
conservation
as
some
kind
of
favour
that
human
beings
are
granting to the natural world. The
error here is far too deep: not only do humans
need nature for
themselves,
but
the
very
idea
that
humanity
and
the
natural
world
are
separable
things
is
profoundly damaging.
Human beings
are a species of mammals
(
哺乳动物
). For seven million
years they lived on
the planet as part
of nature. Our ancestral selves miss the natural
world and long for contact with
non-
human life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a
cat, sat under a tree with a pint of beer,
given
or
received
a
bunch
of
flowers
or
chosen
to
walk
through
the
park
on
a
nice
day,
understands that.
We need the wild world. It
is essential to our well-being, our health, our
happiness. Without
the wild world we
are not more but less civilised. Without other
living things around us we are
less
than human.
Five ways to find harmony with the
natural world
Walk:
Break
the
rhythm
of
permanently
being
under
a
roof.
Get
off
a
stop earlier,
make
a
circuit of the park at
lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get
a dog, feel yourself moving
in moving
air, look, listen, absorb.
Sit: Take a moment, every now and then,
to be still in an open space. In the garden,
anywhere
that’s not
in the
office, anywhere out of the house, away from the
routine. Sit under a tree, look at
water, feel refreshed, ever so slightly
renewed.
Drink:
The
best
way
to
enjoy
the
natural
world
is
by
yourself;
the
second
best
way
is
in
company.
Take a drink outside with a good person, a good
gathering: talk with the sun and the
wind with birdsong for background.
Learn:
Expand
your
boundaries.
Learn
five
species
of
bird,
five
butterflies,
five
trees,
five
bird
songs. That way,
you see and hear more:
and
your mind responds gratefully
to the greater
amount of
wildness in your life.
Travel:
The
places
you
always
wanted
to
visit:
by
the
seaside,
in
the
country,
in
the
hills.
Take a weekend break, a day-trip, get
out there and do it: for the scenery, for the way
through the
woods,
for
the
birds,
for
the
bees.
Go
somewhere
special
and
bring
specialness
home.
It
lasts
forever,
after all.

Ⅳ
Reading Comprehension (Reading in
Depth) (25 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a
passage with ten blanks. You are required to
select one
word for each blank from a
list of choices given in a word bank following the
passage. Read the
passage through
carefully before making your choices. Each choice
in the bank is identified by a
letter.
Please
mark
the
corresponding
letter
for
each
item
on
Answer
Sheet
2
with
a
single
line
through the centre. You may not use any
of the words in the bank more than once.
Questions 47 to
56 are based on the following passage.
What
determines
the
kind
of
person
you
are?
What
factors
make
you
more
or
less
bold,
intelligent, or able to read a map? All
of these are influenced by the interaction of your
genes and
the
environment
in
which
you
were
47 .
The
study
of
how
genes
and
environment
interact
to
influence 48 activity is
known as behavioral genetics. Behavioral genetics
has made important 49
to the biological
revolution, providing information about the extent
to which biology influences
mind, brain
and behavior.
Any
research
that
suggests
that
50
to
perform
certain
behaviors
are
based
in
biology
is
controversial.
Who
wants
to
be
told
that
there
are
limitations
to

based
on
something that is beyond
your control, such as your genes? It is easy to
accept that genes control
physical
characteristics
such
as
sex,
race
and
eye
color.
But
can
genes
also
determine
whether
people will get
divorced, how 52 they are, or what career they are
likely to choose? A concern of
psychological scientists is the 53 to
which all of these characteristics are influenced
by nature and
nurture(
养育
), by
genetic makeup and the environment. Increasingly,
science 54 that genes lay the
groundwork for many human traits. From
this perspective, people are born 55 like

Section B
Directions:
There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage
is followed by some questions
or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are
four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D].
You should decide on the best choice
and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet
2 with a
single line through the
centre.
Passage
One
Questions
57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
It is pretty
much a one-way street. While it may be common for
university researchers to try
their
luck
in
the
commercial
world,
there
is
very
little
traffic
in
the
opposite
direction. Pay
has
always been the biggest
deterrent, as people with families often feel they
cannot afford the drop in
salary when
moving to a university job. For some industrial
scientists, however, the attractions of
academia (
学术界
)
outweigh any financial considerations.
Helen
Lee
took
a
70%
cut
in
salary
when
she
moved
from
a
senior
post
in
Abbott
Laboratories
to
a
medical
department
at
the
University
of
Cambridge.
Her
main
reason
for
returning to academia mid-career was to
take advantage of the greater freedom to choose
research
questions. Some areas of
inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return,
and Lee’s is one of
them.
The impact of a salary cut
is probably less severe for a scientist in the
early stages of a career.
Guy
Grant,
now
a
research
associate
at
the
Unilever
Centre
for
Molecular
Informatics
at
the
University
of Cambridge, spent two years working for a
pharmaceutical (
制药的
) company
before
returning
to
university
as
a
post-doctoral
researcher.
He
took
a
30%
salary
cut
but
felt
it
worthwhile for the greater intellectual
opportunities.
Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut
is usually more significant, the demand for
scientists
with
a
wealth
of
experience
in
industry
is
forcing
universities
to
make
the
transition
(
转换
)
to
academia
more
attractive,
according
to
Lee.
Industrial
scientists
tend
to
receive
training
that
academics do not, such as how to build
a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and
negotiate
contracts. They are also well
placed to bring something extra to the teaching
side of an academic
role
that
will
help
students
get
a
job
when
they
graduate,
says
Lee,
perhaps
experience
in
manufacturing
practice
or
product
development.
“Only
a
small
number
of
undergraduates
will
continue in an academic
career. So someone leaving university who already
has the skills needed
to work in an
industrial lab has far more potential in the job
market than someone who has spent
all
their time on a narrow research
project.”

family,
friends, neighbours, even pets, will
all do the trick, but the biggest longevity
(
长寿
) boost seems to
come from marriage or an equivalent
relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858
by William
Farr, who wrote that widows
and widowers (
鳏夫
) were at a
much higher risk of dying than their
married
peers.
Studies
since
then
suggest
that
marriage
could
add
as
much
as
seven
years
to
a
man’s life
and two to a woman’s. The effect holds for all
causes o
f death, whether illness,
accident
or self-harm.
Even if the odds are
stacked against you, marriage can more than
compensate. Linda Waite of
the
University of Chicago has found that a married
older man with heart disease can expect to live
nearly
four
years
longer
than
an
unmarried
man
with
a
healthy
heart.
Likewise,
a
married
man
who smokes more than a pack a day is
likely to live as long as a divorced man who
doesn’t smoke.
There’s a flip side,
however, as partners are more likely to become ill
or die i
n the couple of years
following their spouse’s death, and
caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave
you with
some of the same severe
problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a
30-year study of more
than
10,000
people,
Nicholas
Christakis
of
Harvard
Medical
School
describes
how
all
kinds
of
social
networks have similar effects.
So
how
does
it
work?
The
effects
are
complex,
affected
by
socio-economic
factors,
health-service
provision, emotional support and other more
physiological (
生理的
)
mechanisms.
For example, social contact
can boost development of the brain and immune
system, leading to
better
health
and
less
chance
of
depression
later
in
life.
People
in
supportive
relationships
may
handle stress better. Then there are
the psychological benefits of a supportive
partner.
A life
partner, children and good friends are all
recommended if you aim to live to 100. The
ultimate social network is still being
mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are
interconnected,
so their health is
interconnected.”
