There have been many studies that show being in nature is good for your health. Walking in the woods is good for your well-being. Living near trees can help you live longer. But when you go for a walk in the woods, what is it particularly about being in nature or being outdoors that makes you feel good? Is it the sights or smells or sounds? A new study finds it might have something to do with the birds you hear while you have a walk.

Researchers from California Polytechnic State University analyzed how much the natural sounds people hear when they're outdoors influence well-being. They found that the “chorus (合唱)” of birds singing increased well-being in protected natural areas.

For the study, researchers placed 10.hidden, evenly spaced speakers (扬声器) on two parts of trails (小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado. They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. The researchers take turns to play the birdsong for a few hours a day for a week, and then turned off the speakers for a week at a time. They interviewed hikers after they passed through the areas with the speakers.

“The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong responded to questions that showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong,” Biology Professor Clinton Francis, who led the research, says.

Hikers who heard more birdsong on the first part of the trail said they felt better. Those who heard more birdsong on the second part reported that they thought more birds lived along that part of the trail. This feeling of more birds helps make the hikers feel better. “With the chorus, we were able to show that natural sounds have a clear effect on the quality of hikers' experiences,” says Francis.

24.What's the function of the questions in paragraph 1?

A.To bring in the topic of the text.

B.To advise people to walk in nature.

C.To call on people to care about nature.

D.To raise doubt about the research done before.

25.Why were the speakers placed along the trails?

A.To broadcast chorus live. B.To remind hikers of their health.

C.To improve people's well-being. D.To play sounds of different birds.

26. What was the final step of the research?

A.Recording. B.Comparing. C.Photographing. D.Interviewing.

27.What is the best title for the text?

A.Being in nature is good for people's heath.

B.Walking in forests help people live longer.

C.Hearing birdsongs is good for people's health.

D.Raising birds improves people's living quality.

About 400 people were brought together in some 20 positions throughout Stanford to carry out an earthquake drill (演习).

The earthquake drill was a year in the planning. It included both Stanford University and Stanford Medicine emergency operation (行动）centers. The university frequently practices emergency plans, but this drill was different from the earlier ones.

This drill asked the university to consider how everyone in the school took on duty after an earthquake. How would Stanford continue to feed thousands of people and take action in the face of damage to the university? How would it answer the thousands of people who called the university and who were worried about their loved ones?

“We wanted to create an experience centering mainly on recovery (恢复), rather than the immediate life safety you would experience right after an earthquake,” said Keith Perry, university emergency manager and training and communications manager for Environmental Health and Safety.

The actions of all the people surprised Police Chief Laura Wilson, whose job was to manage the many people in the main EOC in the Faculty Club. “I really wanted to express my thanks to the teamwork of everyone,” she said. “My job was made much easier by the fact that people practice and know what to do. This is a finely honed (打磨) machine.”

Peter is an experienced worker of Stanford Medicine EOC. He believes that with each drill carried out, people get better at protecting public safety, repairing the damage to the university and quickly returning the university to normal teaching and researching activities. “I think everyone learned a lot today,” he said.

28.What do we know about Stanford University?

A.Big earthquakes hit it before.

B.It often holds earthquake drills.

C.It planned to work with Stanford Medicine EOC.

D.About 400 students there survived an earthquake.

29.Why was this drill different from the earlier ones?

A.It put people's life safety first.

B.It included Stanford Medicine EOC.

C.It focused on the recovery after earthquakes.

D.It was carried out throughout the whole school.

30.What does Police Chief Laura Wilson mean by saying “This is a finely honed machine” in Paragraph 5?

A.The drill went very smoothly.

B.The EOC worked as a machine.

C.The university s machines worked normally.

D.Students have full knowledge of earthquakes.

31.What's Peter's attitude to earthquake drills?

A.Uninterested. B.Worried. C.Doubtful. D.Supportive.
