【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ble to lie in bed and think about things than it was to get up and see them for myself. If you often wake up feeling anxious or depressed, or if you don39。t look forward to each day, then you need to try this course for yourself. It39。s an inner workout that you can do anywhere. It may not change your life, but it will adjust your attitude, and that39。s pretty helpful in this crazy world. I have always believed in ending the day on a positive note by writing a word or two in a gratitude journal and saying something sweet to my wife about the day we shared. Now, I have a new morning habit. It hasn39。t changed my routine one bit, but it has changed the way I look at the world. Creating a new habit isn39。t about perfection – it39。s about getting what you want by creating a change in your behavior and thinking. So now, while I39。m making my coffee in the morning, I39。m also appreciating what I have. It39。s quick, fulfilling, and a much better way to start my day than looking at my phone or puter. And because of this, my attitude is better, as I39。ve already begun my morning on a positive note rather than a problematic one. The idea here is that if you can appreciate your life, it actually changes the way you feel about it. Appreciation will give you more energy to live the way you would like to live. As a means of improving our mood, it39。s highly underrated (被低估的). The easy task of appreciating what we have simply makes life better.（1）How did the author feel about seeing things for himself after he started the lifeappreciation course?

The study is the first to investigate the possible relationships between exposure to nature and desires and negative emotions. Researchers at the University of Plymouth39。s School of Psychology surveyed 149 respondents (應(yīng)答者) aged 21 o 65 about the proportion( 比例 )of green space in their neighborhood, the presence of green views from their home, their access to a garden and how often they use public green space. The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety, as well as desires for things like caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. Participants rated the intensity( 強(qiáng)度), imagery, and intrusiveness(侵?jǐn)_性) of their desires on an 11point scale. Researchers found the presence of visible green space contributed to decreased desires for junk food. The effect was particularly noticeable when more than 25 percent of a respondent39。s view was greenery. Previous scholarship(學(xué)術(shù)研究) has dealt mostly with exercise in nature: A 2015 study out of the University of Michigan found 90 minute group nature walks were effective at batting depression and relieving other mood disorders. But for people who struggle with accessibility or don39。t have time for a 90minute walk, this new study suggests just looking out a window at a tree can help fight off a bad habit. It has been known for some time that being outdoors in nature is linked to a person39。s wellbeing, lead author Leanne Martin said in a statement. But for there to be a similar association with desires from simply being able to see green space adds a new dimension to the previous research. A 2018 study from Denmark39。s Aarhus University for example, found that. Having access to green space throughout childhood decreased a person39。s risk of developing mental health problems as an adult.（1）What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? results of the new study. purpose of the new study. significance of the new study. content of the new study.（2）What does the underlined word batting in paragraph 4 probably mean? ...（3）According to the passage, the new study _____. referred to exercise in nature enriched the previous research to some degree carried out by the University of Michigan exposure to greenery helped cure mental problems（4）n which section of a newspaper may this passage appear?
