9、 tai chi began in her early 20s, when she was suffering from a back injury, which left her lying in bed for six months. “As an active youngster at that time, I couldnt bear resting in bed,” she explained. “My muscles became wasted and stiff(僵直的) for lack of use, and I was often in a lot of pains. So
10、, I felt that some physical exercise would help.”She then discovered tai chi when she spotted by chance a poster advertising classes and decided to try the mysterious and exotic(异国的) sport. Oliver was immediately struck by the gentle and beautiful movements of tai chi, and to her delight, found that
11、 her occasional pains disappeared after years of practice. “It not only helps me improve physical strength, but also provides me with many mental benefits, such as improved mood and focus, and less anxiety and depression,” she added. To further understand tai chi and the Chinese philosophy behind it
12、, Oliver decided to begin a journey to China. In 2005, Oliver established the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people seeking to gain a better understanding of Chinese culture. The center supports kung fu masters in teaching martial arts(武术) and organizes ev

17、tural Bridge in ChinaDTai Chi Enjoys Great Popularity Around the WorldEven chess experts perform worse when air quality is lower, suggesting a negative effect on cognition(认知). Heres something else chess players need to keep in check: air pollution. Thats the bottom line of a newly published study c
18、o-authored by a researcher, showing that chess players perform objectively worse and make more suboptimal(次优的) moves, as measured by a computerized analysis of their games, when there is more fine particulate matter(颗粒物) in the air, notated as PM 2.5. More specifically, given a modest increase in fi
19、ne particulate matter, the probability that chess players will make an error increases by 2.1 percentage points, and the spectrum of those errors increases by 10.8 percent. In this setting, at least, cleaner air leads to clearer heads and sharper thinking. “We find that when individuals are exposed
20、to higher levels of air pollution, they make more mistakes, and they make larger mistakes,” says Juan Palacios, an economist in Sustainable Urbanization Lab. “Its pure random exposure to air pollution that is driving these peoples performance,” Palacios says. “Against comparable opponents in the sam
21、e tournament round, being exposed to different levels of air quality makes a difference for move quality and decision quality.”The researchers also found that when air pollution was worse, the chess players performed even more poorly when under time limitation. “We find it interesting that those mis
22、takes especially occur in the phase of the game where players are facing time pressure,” Palacios says. “There are more and more papers showing that there is a cost with air pollution, and there is a cost for more and more people,” Palacios says. “And this is just one example showing that even for t

26、sforce CEO Marc Benioff had taken a “digital detox(脱瘾)”: 10 tech-free days at a French Polynesian resort. For a small group of people, taking a step back from devices is an achievable dream, but for most, its an impossibility, especially.A digital detox requires dismissing technology almost entirely
27、: taking a break from screens, social media and video conferences for multiple days. The goalsreducing stress or anxiety, and reconnecting with the physical worldare well-intentioned. However, experts say a digital detox isnt practical anymore for most people. “Technology is very much a part of us n

We bank with an app, read restaurant menus on phones and even sweat with exercise instructors through a screen,” says Seattle-based consultant Emily Cherkin, who specialises in screen-time management. “Its so embedded(嵌入式的) in our lives, were setting ourselves up for failure if were going to go
29、phone-free for a week.”As people become increasingly interdependent on technology, doing a digital detox no longer seems like a reasonable goal. But there may be a more realistic solution that will lessen our tech obsession(着迷), without forcing us to totally disconnect. Rather than cutting out techn
30、ology altogether, practice digital mindfulness. Make sure the use of technology is purposeful. Instead of a full detox, digital mindfulness may be more practical for some people: less worry about cutting tech out entirely, and more focus on being intentional with its use. The goal shouldnt be to cut
31、 off technology or to put a full stop. People still need to send an email, but can do so without getting distracted by the various online contents.
