10、day I often look to ChatGPT for in-depth advice on this.In terms of scientific research, given the academic severeness, I actually think ChatGPT can do relatively little at present. The scenes Ive used ChatGPT for have so far been limited to just a few aspects. Firstly, proof-reading an article. Sec

It seems that different universities hold different attitudes toward ChatGPT. The University of Cambridge, for example, allows students to us
12、e ChatGPT for purposes other than exams, assignments and papers. Of course, there are plenty of objections. I think, used in the right way, ChatGPT can be of great help to students in their academic and personal growth. For example, I mentioned using ChatGPT as a smarter search engine and learning t

Unfortunately for me, that meant in front of millions of people, as I was delivering the news, live,
17、on ABCs Good Morning America. In the wake of my nationally televised panic, I learned that I had undiagnosed depression. For months, Id been having trouble getting out of bed in the morning and felt as if I had an everlasting low-grade fever. Two things changed my mind. The first was the science. In
18、 recent years, there has been an explosion of research into meditation (冥想), which has been shown to reduce blood pressure, improve recovery after your body releases the stress hormone cortisol (荷尔蒙皮质醇), strengthen the immune system, and relieve the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Studies also s
19、how meditation can reduce violence in prisons, increase productivity in the workplace, and improve both the behavior and the grades of schoolchildren. The second thing that changed my mind about meditation is that it does not necessarily take a lot of the magic stuff I feared it might. Contrary to p
20、opular belief, meditation does not have to involve folding yourself into a roll, joining a group, or wearing special dress. The word meditation is a little bit like the world sports; there are hundreds of varieties. The type of meditation discussed here is called mindfulness meditation, which is acq

I began my practice slowly, with just five to ten minutes a day, which is what I recommend everyone aim for at the start. I have learned that the less delighted you are by the voice in your head,
22、the more you can make room for entirely new thoughts and feelings to appear. In sum, meditation enables you to tap into what lies beneath or beyond the ego (自我). Call it creativity.

They often focus efforts on protected areas such as nationa
26、l parks and wildlife preserves. But with as many as a million species at risk, this approach may not be enough to conserve wildlife, especially in a world increasingly affected by climate change. Slowing the mass extinction that now appears to be underway will require more creative means of coexisti
27、ng alongside wild plants and animals. A new study stresses the effectiveness of some such approaches by examining native-managed lands. “We show really strongly that, from a biodiversity standpoint in terms of species richness, native-managed lands are as important as protected areas, says biologist
28、 Richard Schuster of Carleton University. Schuster and his team analyzed more than 15, 000 areas in Australia, Brazil and Canada. They found that the total diversity of birds, mammals, amphibians(两栖动物)and reptiles was highest on lands either managed or comanaged by native groups. For threatened spec
29、ies, indigenous lands scored slightly higher than protected lands on overall species richness. Each country has a different geography, climate and history. Yet surprisingly, Schuster says the best indicator for species diversity is whether a given area was managed by a native community. He points ou
30、t that practices such as sustainable hunting and fishing are more likely to occur in such areas. Its really important to listen to the people who live on the land and encourage them to manage their lands on their own. He also adds that we need to cooperate with native communities. If so, we may help
31、 the worlds countries to better meet a wide range of conservation goals.
