32、ce among the youth. B 1Its a Saturday night, the kids are asleep and we have no plans. Before we fall into our routine and watch a movie, I try to talk my husband into playing a card game. Unconvinced, he continues tapping away on his phone. But just before disappearing into the social media rabbit
33、hole, he has an idea. He looks over me and suggests, “Why dont we try calling one of our friends?” 2I look at him with raised brows, as if his suggestion is somewhat ridiculous and perhaps even socially unacceptable. You cant just call someone out of the blue nowright? 35D But then I think again and
34、 realize that at one point in time, in the not so distant past, this was the norm. I spent my early teenage years connecting with friends through a phone that was connected to a wall. It wasnt “smart”, but it allowed me to keep in touch with the latest gossip and news. We would chat for hours, somet
35、imes while I hid under my blanket in order to avoid the chance of being caught by my parents. 36C 3I could even memorize the phone numbers of loved ones then. While I did own an address bookand there was always the White Pages, where you could look people up by their namesI had the contact details o
36、f special friends, first loves and family members committed to memory. I guess these days, they would be on my “Favorites” list in my smartphone. 4Today, many of my “favorite” people are followed from a distance through social media, and even they very rarelyif everwould get an actual call from me.
37、The birth announcement by my oldest friend is received through catching a well-defined bump into a photo that I scroll past. The news of a divorce from a couple whom I had considered my second parents when I was in middle school arrives after a photo of a woman led me on a quest for more gossip. Bit
38、s of such information, a collection of wonderful, exciting, shocking and also boring news, may have been a part of my digital feed for years. The idea of actually picking up the phone to reconnect with a long-lost friend is an intimidating oneeven seeing the name of an old friend pop up in an incomi

42、through social media C. have more personal communications with their friends D. add more friends names to the contact lists in their phones C 1Mathew White, an environmental psychologist, is on a mission to give Mother Nature the respect he thinks she deserves when it comes to human health. For deca
43、des, scientists and health-care professionals have recognized that exposure to green spaces, such as public parks or forests, is linked with lower risks of all sorts of illnesses common in the world.41B1 Experimental work has demonstrated various physiological responses that occur when people spend
44、time in natural environments: blood pressure drops, heart rate decreases, immune function improves, and the nervous system directs the body to rest and digest. 2As humans increasingly populate urbanized areas, they are spending less and less time in natural environments. But before doctors can start
45、 advising their patients to head to the nearest park, there is an important outstanding question, says White: How much time in nature do you need to generate 产生 these apparent benefits? Most of the research that has linked health outcomes with exposure to the natural world didnt use frequency or dur
46、ation of park visits, but rather the amount of green space within a certain distance of a persons home, White says. But “its not so much where you live; its whether you use it or not.” 3So he collected data to estimate what dose（剂量） of nature was needed to show benefits to a persons health. Whites g
47、roup found the answer he was after: Spending at least two hours in nature per week was strongly correlated with self-reports of being in good health or having high wellbeing. “I was very surprised, to be honest,” says White, who had been expecting a much longer time. “We had no idea that such a clea
48、r threshold of time per week would emerge from the data.” 39B 4He was further surprised to learn that it didnt seem to matter how many trips to a park people took, so long as they got in their two hours per week. It could be a long visit one day, a couple of hour-long trips, three visits of 40 minut
49、es, or four half-hour excursions. He and his colleagues speculate that, if natures apparent health benefits are a result of being able to de-stress, then whatever pattern of green space exposure fits ones schedule is probably the best way to achieve that goal. 5Health-care recommendations for people to spend time in nature are probably years away, but the movement has begun. Several organizations
