21、   The great outdoors: it’s the place to head for when you' re in need of peace and quiet, open spaces, beautiful scenery and exercise. Whether a huge mountain range or a local country park, these natural areas are perfect for us to refresh from our stressed-out lives, and their therapeutic effect is being used more and more to treat mental health.

As an example, in the foothills of the Snowdonia National Park in the UK, specialist therapy sessions are held to help people who suffer from depression, anxiety and stress. Outdoor art-related activities are held for patients, but the setting alone has been credited with improving the mood of patients. Art psychotherapist Pamela Stanley told the BBC that there was a “growing body of evidence” to support eco-therapy.

It' s true that for most of us connecting with the natural world definitely lifts our spirits. But the mental health charity Mind says eco-therapy has been recognized as a formal type of treatment that can sometimes be prescribed to someone by a doctor. It doesn’t involve taking medication, hut instead it just develops a person' s relationship with nature. This natural remedy can take on many forms, including doing yoga in a forest, gardening or even hugging a tree.

Evidence has shown there are many benefits of this “green” therapy, including improving social contact, social and work skills and coping abilities. It's what Dr. Rachel Bragg from the University of Essex calls “psychological restoration”. She told the BBC’s All in the Mind programme that nature-based therapies should be part of a “toolkit” of care for patients.

Of course, eco-therapy won't cure everything, but it is an option for therapists to use. And as we become more aware of the causes and effects of mental health, it' s good to know that help might lie outside our towns and cities, and that nature can give us a helping hand.

【1】In what way does nature work in the therapeutic effect?

A．It helps people get much relieved.

B．It helps people do bodybuilding.

C．It is doctor1 s preference for treatments.

D．It can help us fully recover from the illness.

【2】What does the underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．option

B．contact

C．treatment

D．effect

【3】What might be the best way of receiving eco-therapy?

A．Tending a garden.

B．Taking medicine.

C．Meditating at home.

D．Gathering with friends.

【4】What is Dr. Rachel Bragg's attitude towards the eco-therapy?

A．Unwilling.

B．Negative.

C．Neutral.

D．Positive.

22、   Traveling with your dear pet by train in comfort and safety is like an adventure: It requires a little advanced planning. 【1】 And your pet can stay healthy along the way.

【2】

Best practices for keeping your pet healthy can vary by time of year, activity and destination. For example, hiking and back-country adventures can increase your pet’s exposure to ticks, while some regions may have a higher risk for heartworm. And even though your pet may currently be flea-free (无跳搔的)，there’s no guarantee that other animals are as well.

Learn railway requirements

【3】 Additionally, make sure to book your pet’s ticket in advance-no one wants the heartbreak of a trip delayed or canceled because the train is at capacity (程度)for four-legged travelers.

Reduce your pet’s anxiety around train noise

If you know your dog or cat loves to go for a ride, you may not have to worry. 【4】 Put your pet in a carrier, head for the station and give plenty of treats and praise as the trains roll in. This will help your pet get used to the sounds of the railway station and the engine. 【5】 Take your pet on a day trip to see how well they manage the noise, the motion and the excitement.

A．Other routes allow pets in all cars.

B．Going for a test ride is even better.

C．Talk to the vet before you leave.

D．Make sure to do so before you leave for traveling.

E．But anxious pets might benefit from a practice run.

F．Different routes have different rules about pets on board.

G．Follow these three easy tips to help your four-legged friend travel well.

24、   If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. 【1】 But since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.

【2】 To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head, which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. 【3】 But you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.

【4】 Therefore you can discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple themed fun and games.
