You need to relax . But who can remember to -and who has time ? You do ! It only takes five minutes . Scientists say the opposite of the stress response is the relaxation response . They suggest a quick mantra meditationwhen you feel yourself breathing shallowly and tensing up . “There are two things to remember about this, scientists say . “First , repetition is the key , and second , when you feel other thoughts coming -and they will-you must let them pass by and not deal with them . Here’s what you do : At your desk , close your eyes , consciously relax your muscles , breathe in and out slowly ,say a meaningful word , for example love . Breathe in , say the word silently while breathing out . When thoughts come ,let them drift past . Do this for three or four minutes , open your eyes , and get back to work . Scientists recommend doing this each morning before breakfast , too , for more than ten minutes , but less than twenty minutes . This will set the practice in your mind , so when you need it at work , it will produce relief almost immediately . Scientists have another way of causing the body to unclench itself. And that’s by making it even more stressed ! Run up a flight of stairs . Put demands on your body -this will cause the same pathways in the brain and nervous system as stress does and fool the body into thinking it needs to go into recovery . Scientists even suggest dropping down in your room and doing ten pushupsquickly . According to scientists , you can relax your body by muscle group . Tense your facial muscles for five seconds , then relax . Then neck and shoulders . Work your way down . Shaking your arms and legs like a wet dog is also recommended. 【查看更多】

     

    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    San Francisco is going to do what many other cities have already done --- provide free bicycles to the public. The mayor of San Francisco supports the bicycle program. He wants to improve the terrible traffic problems in the city.

    At first, 40 to 60 bikes will be available only to city workers. People will give their old bikes to the city to use in the program. If this program is successful, one day more than 1000 bicycles will be available. Everyone, not just city workers, will be able to use these bicycles.

    People in Fresno, California already have a free bicycle program. In fact, this idea began in Amsterdam over 40 years ago. These programs encourage citizens to get out of their cars and onto pollution-free bikes.

    Fresno’s Yellow Bike Program puts about fast bicycles around the city. The bikes are painted bright yellow so people know they can take them. When people take a yellow bike, they can ride to work or to shopping areas, and then leave the bike for the next rider.

    Some people worry that the free bikes will be stolen. However, theft hasn’t been a problem in other free-bike cities.

    While most people think the bike program is a good idea, only a few say they will use it. “I will still drive my car,” says Joanna Greene. “San Francisco has a lot of hills. My office is at the top of Potrero Hill. I don’t think I’m in good shape. And, wouldn’t I have to carry a helmet with me all the time?”

    Phil Chung agrees, “There is too much traffic. Riding a bicycle can be dangerous. There are not very many bike lanes(自行车道).” He continues, “Plus, it’s too cold in the winter. And what if you ride a bike to work, and then there isn’t one to ride home?”

    Program leaders know there will be problems. But they think it’s worth trying. “It’s not the solution for everyone,” states Sylvia Pass. “But if just one hundred people use it every day, that’s one hundred cars that aren’t on the streets, one hundred parking spaces that aren’t used. I think it’s a great beginning.”
