【正文】 t what a tired brain needs. At the University of Utah, David Strayer has studied both shortterm and longterm exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However, he found, it is the longterm contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three days in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.（1）What is David Strayer39。Americans dislike outdoor activities.B.New technologies are a doubleedged sword.D.To try another lifestyle.B.To make better decisions.D.RebornB.RemarkableD.Electronic Equipment Harms the Brain.B.Tips on Using New Technologies.Being in Nature Is Good for the Brain.【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文屬于科普文，主要闡述電子產(chǎn)品的過多使用讓大腦得不到休息，因而鼓勵人們多進行戶外活動，讓大腦休息。根據(jù)第二段Using an electronic device to answer s, listen to the news and look at Facebook puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain可知，電子產(chǎn)品和網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息給我們帶了方便，也給我們大腦產(chǎn)生了巨大的壓力，故可知，科技是一把雙刃劍，故選C。根據(jù)第三段So, it is important to give the brain a rest.
