AGrassroots Remedy
Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the
dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub,
have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the
country. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when
joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them instinctively heads
to the park or the river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature,
butwe all seek nature, whether weknowwe are doing soornot.
But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my
boyhood climbing trees on Streatham Common, South London. These days, children
are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of
the open spaces and oddnew perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say,things that can bebought, rather than things that can befound.
The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to
better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural
views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in
material surroundings butnonice viewimproved just4%.
A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a
natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used
only to a normal playground. AUS study suggested that when a school gave children
access toanatural environment, academic levels were raised across theentire school.
Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In
playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the
tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the
children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on
imaginationand creativity.
Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石)
playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to
explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its
harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about incorners fantasising about wildlife.
But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces,
for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might
cause damage. So, instead, the damage is done to the children themselves: not to their
bodies but totheir souls.
One of the great problems of modern childhood isADHD, now increasingly and
expensively treated with drugs. Yet one study after another indicates that contact with
nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs
rather than ongreen places.
The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The
increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than
quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most
important thingin finding that quality.
In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural
surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive
behaviour are reduced when there iscontact with thenatural world.
Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds,
states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its
restorative process helps reduce anger and impulsive behaviour.” Wild places need
encouraging for thisreason, nomatter howsmalltheir contribution.
We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favour that human
beings are granting to the natural world. The error here is far too deep: not only do
humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural
world are separablethings is profoundly damaging.
Human beings are a species of mammals (哺乳动物). For seven million years
they lived on the planet as part of nature. Our ancestral selves miss the natural worldand long for contact with non-human life.Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a cat,
sat under a tree with a pint of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to
walk through thepark ona niceday,understands that.
We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health, our
happiness. Without the wild world we are not more but less civilised. Without other
livingthings around us we are less than human.
Fiveways to find harmony with thenatural world
Walk: Break the rhythm of permanently being under a roof. Get off a stop earlier,
make a circuit of the park at lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get a dog,
feel yourselfmoving in movingair,look,listen, absorb.
Sit: Take a moment, every now and then, to be still in an open space. In the
garden, anywhere that’s not in the office, anywhere out of the house, away from the
routine. Situnder atree, look at water,feel refreshed, ever so slightly renewed.
Drink: The best way to enjoy the natural world is by yourself; the second best
way is in company. Take a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk
withthe sun andthewind with birdsong for background.
Learn: Expand your boundaries. Learn five species of bird, five butterflies, five
trees, five bird songs. That way, you see and hear more: and your mind responds
gratefullyto thegreater amount ofwildness in your life.
Travel: The places you always wanted to visit: by the seaside, in the country, in
the hills. Take a weekend break, a day-trip, get out there and do it: for the scenery, for
the way through the woods, for the birds, for the bees. Go somewhere special and
bring specialness home.It lasts forever,after all.

Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25minutes)
SectionA
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to
select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following
the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each
choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for
each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use
any ofthe words in thebankmore than once.
Questions 47to56are based onthe followingpassage.
What determines the kind of person you are? What factors make you more or
less bold, intelligent, or able to read a map? All of these are influenced by the
interaction of your genes and the environment in which you were 47 . The study ofhow genes and environment interact to influence 48 activity is known as behavioral
genetics. Behavioral genetics has made important 49 to the biological revolution,
providing information about the extent to which biology influences mind, brain and
behavior.
Any research that suggests that 50 to perform certain behaviors are based in
biology is controversial. Who wants to be told that there are limitations to what you
can 51 based on something that is beyond your control, such as your genes? It is easy
to accept that genes control physical characteristics such as sex, race and eye color.
But can genes also determine whether people will get divorced, how 52 they are, or
what career they are likely to choose? A concern of psychological scientists is the 53
to which all of these characteristics are influenced by nature and nurture(养育), by
genetic makeup and the environment. Increasingly, science 54 that genes lay the
groundwork for many human traits. From this perspective, people are born 55 like
undeveloped photographs: The image is already captured, but the way it 56 appears
can vary based on the development process. However, the basic picture is there from
thebeginning.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by
some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices
marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the
corresponding letteronAnswer Sheet 2with asingle linethrough thecentre.
PassageOne
Questions 57to61are based onthe followingpassage.
It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university
researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the
opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families
often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For
some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh
any financial considerations.
Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post inAbbott
Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main
reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater
freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a
commercial return, and Lee’s isoneof them.
The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the earlystages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for
Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a
pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral
researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual
opportunities.
Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for
scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the
transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists
tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a
multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well
placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help
students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing
practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will
continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the
skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than
someonewho has spent all theirtimeonanarrow research project.”

[D]Gear itsresearch towards practical applications.
PassageTwo
Questions 62to66are based onthe followingpassage.
Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationshipswith family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest
longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship.
The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and
widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies
since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man’s life and
two to a woman’s.The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or
self-harm.
Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate.
Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with
heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a
healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely
to live as long as a divorced man who doesn’t smoke. There’s a flip side, however, as
partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their
spouse’s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some
of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of
more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes
howall kinds ofsocial networks havesimilareffects.
So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic
factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生
理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain
and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later inlife.
People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the
psychological benefits ofa supportivepartner.
A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live
to 100. The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says:
“Peopleare interconnected, so theirhealth is interconnected.”
