A
Nature Walks Help
Scientists have found that a one - hour nature walk can decrease(减少) the activity in the amygdala(杏仁核), a part of the brain connected to stress and emotion(情绪).
The scientists studied the brains of 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one - hour walk. Half of the volunteers walked through the forest, while the rest walked along city streets with noisy traffic. Tests on the brains of the nature walkers showed decreased activity in the amygdala. But the change didn't happen to the volunteers walking along city streets.


Business Finland paid for 10 people to have a special lesson — "Masterclass of Happiness" from June 17.
During the lesson, experts from different fields helped the "students" understand more about what it means to be happy. The lesson was mainly on four different areas: nature and lifestyle, health and balance, design and "every day", and food and well - being.
Relaxing and Inspiration Areas
The "relaxing and inspiration areas" in the library go viral(风靡) among students. There are tables, chairs and green plants in the areas. There, students can talk, eat or take a break. They can also have a look at the beautiful city. After that, they can think of new ideas and study better.

"It is OK to take a break when students feel tired. It can help them relax and think. I think more schools should have areas like these," says Wang Wenlong, a teacher at the university.

When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest. “But now, it’s different,” says Nejat. “People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready.”
Nejat’s robots are designed to fill an increasing need: care - giving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050, three times larger than that now.
Such robots could be especially useful to the sick with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病). They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to asking the sick to take their medicine. They can also play games with the sick to keep them active.
Some have worried that care - giving robots might cut down human interaction(互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. “But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it,” says Brian Scassellati. He has taken many different tests and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder(自闭症谱系障碍) improve social skills.
“One thing is clear,” Scassellati says. “Robots can provide care for the customers and more people will need care - giving robots in the future.”

C
Zombies(僵尸) are real! You meet them every day on the sidewalk. They walk slowly, with their heads down and they will not look at you. They are living in a different world, a world of the mobile phone!
Many people are complaining (抱怨) about these mobile phone zombies because they walk slowly, making it difficult for other people to use the sidewalk. Chongqing and a few other cities have come up with an idea to try to solve the problem. They’ve divided up sidewalks into two lanes(线路): one lane for mobile - zombies and one lane for everyone else. ★, since most mobile - zombies don’t even notice the lanes.
I have another suggestion for the problem. Shanghai has blind paths. They are made of small raised tiles (凸起的瓷砖) that help blind people follow a straight line. Perhaps the same way could be used for mobile - zombies. A lane with a rough surface would allow people to put their heart into their mobile phones and still know they are walking in a straight line. Of course, I have a further suggestion. At the end of the lane, there would be a large hole where all the mobile - zombies would disappear into the center of the earth!
Well, I don’t think my suggestion is going to be taken, and I don’t think special lanes for mobile - zombies will work, either. I think it’s just a better idea to remind(提醒) people that sidewalks are shared space and they should think of others when they are using their mobile phones.

A. always look here and there on the road

63. Which of the following can be put in ★?
A. The experiment hasn’t worked out too well
B. The problem is solved because of the two lanes
C. Mobile - zombies are pleased with this idea
D. The lane for mobile - zombies is too narrow
64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Shanghai has also built lanes for the mobile - zombies.
B. The writer’s suggestion for the mobile - zombies was taken.
C. All the mobile - zombies will disappear on the earth in the end.
