30、e passageAThe River Thames was once described as “biologically(生物学地) dead”. A waterway polluted with so much industrial waste that no wildlife could survive in it.But today it has become a thriving (繁荣的) natural habitat and a team of conservationists restoring the famous river have been offered a to
31、p environment award for their work.Ncarly 40 miles of the river have been improved in the last five years through almost 400 Environment Agency restoration projects. As a result, the river is now home to some 125 species of fish, while many others are returning. The river mouth supports shellfisheri
32、es and is a nursery ground(育苗场) for bass (鲈鱼) stocks, and the water quality of the Thames has improved.Alastair Driver, the Environment Agencys national conservation manager, said that in the last 150 years, the Thames had been polluted seriously and that it had taken thousands of people decades to
33、restore it to its current condition. “Strict regulations for polluting industries and our work with farmers, businesses and water companies to reduce pollution and improve water quality have helped to make the Thames a living river once again.” But he warned that the rivers recovery was still “fragi
34、le”, since it was under the pressure from a growing population and climate change. He said advanced projects and cooperation with various people and organizations aim at dealing with the problems the Thames faces and ensuring(确保) it still a famous river for many centuries to come.Actor, David Suchet
35、, a skillful boater and chairman of the River Thames Alliance, said, “I am fortunate in my life to have traveled widely and enjoyed many other rivers worldwide. But the River Thames is priceless and it is one of the most glittering jewels in the crown of our English heritage.”Boris Johnson, Mayor of
36、 London, said, “The Thames is one of our most precious resources, so I am excited to see that efforts to improve and preserve its good health are being praised on the world stage.”The 220,000 prize, awarded at the International Rive Symposium in Australia, will go to the Thames Rivers Restoration Tr

41、e makes you smarter. A study has found that exposure to the great outdoors improves cognitive(认知的) function. Experts have called this attention restoration therapy(注意力修复治疗).In the study, researchers from the University of Michigan asked a group of volunteers to complete a take designed to challenge
42、memory and attention. The volunteers then took a walk in either a park or in downtown Ann Arbor. After the walk, volunteers returned to the lab and were retested on the task. The performance on the memory and attention task greatly improved in people following the walk in the park, but did not impro
43、ve in those who walked downtown.Why nature makes you smarter? According to the experts, one reason has to do with how nature affects your attention. You have two types of attention. One is involuntary, where your attention is attracted by some stimuli(刺激物). And the other one is directed attention, w
44、here you control your attention. Directed attention is important for memory, resolving conflict and reducing absent mind.Being in nature exposes you to soothing stimuli that engages your involuntary attention. It gives your directed attention a rest and a chance to become renewed. When you are in a
45、city, you are constantly vigilant(警觉的), your directed attention is turned on and cannot get a rest.Richard Luov created the term “nature deficit(缺乏) disorder disorder” to describe a condition of being so out of touch with nature that we lose humility, our spirituality, our humanity and we also are a
46、t higher risk of obesity(肥胖), depression and other disease. His first book, Last Child in the Woods, was about the negative effects of a nature deficit on children, but his new book. The Nature Principle, describes how adults are equally at risk if they seldom spend time with nature.If you cant be i
47、n nature today, get a screen saver of nature. In another part of the study, people who were simply shown photos of nature did better on cognitive function than those shown urban images. But I think it will be better for you to go out and experience the real things.61 Which of the following probably
48、belongs to the attention restoration therapy?ADoing exercise in the gym.BReading Thoreaus works at home.CJogging around in the shopping mall.DWalking or running through a local park.62 From the second paragraph, we can learn all EXCEPT that .Athe study was conducted by experts of University of MichiganBthe study is about peoples memory and attenti
