Frest bathing began in Japan in the 1980s. It is a practice called shinrin—yku, which can be translated as “taking in the medicine r air f the frest”. It has recently grwn mre ppular wrldwide. When peple take time in the natural green wrld t “be” in a fully present way, studies shw it des gd t health.
One f the gd things f taking a walk in nature is getting away frm screens. When we enjy nature, we keep urselves away frm cmputers r mbile phnes. We take a break and allw urselves t get strength and energy back. During frest bathing, we are slwing dwn, stpping making quick decisins, experiencing the pleasure f nature thrugh all f ur senses, enjying being alive and enjying just the present mment.
In fact, frest bathing is als becming a mre and mre ppular way f treating stress (压力). Frest bathing is believed t help thse experiencing stressful situatins. In ne recent study, peple wh frmed the habits f walking thrugh frests had lwered bld pressure (血压) and gt ut f wrries.
At the same time bathing in frest air prduces mre natural killer—NK cells (细胞) in ur bld. Our bdy uses these NK cells t fight illness. One Japanese study shwed a rise in the number and activity f these NK cells amng peple wh frest bathe. Plants and trees in frests can als send ut smething called phytncides (植物杀菌剂). This tree il can nt nly prtect plants and trees themselves, but als help peple sleep well, lift md and attentin, bring jy and bst health.
Frest bathing needs repeated practice. It’s nt a ne-and-dne quick fix. Studies in England n green spaces shwed that spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature helps with gd health. It desn’t matter if yu break up the tw hurs int shrter walks in a lcal park filled with lts f trees r spend an afternn in a frest.
Taking a quick walk thrugh nature and rushing thrugh the activity t get back t wrk, let’s say, may nt be as helpful. Nr is it advised t play lud music as yu walk. Frest bathing shws a different way f life. Yu’re walking thrugh nature in a frest and taking yur time. Yu’re nticing feelings and staring mre f a relaxing and meaningful life.
32. Accrding t the passage, during frest bathing peple may ________.
A. think nly f the past mmentB. make decisins mre quickly
C. spend less energy t take exerciseD. keep themselves away frm wrries
33 The underlined wrd “bst” in Paragraph 4 prbably means ________.
A. riskB. imprveC. harmD. ffer

A. peple shuld frm a habit f walking in nature
B. playing light music while walking can be helpful
C. walking fr at least 2 hurs every time is necessary
D. NK cells and phytncides are bth prduced in plants
35. What’s the main idea f the passage?
A. Hw can we enjy frest baths in nature?B. Is it helpful r unhelpful t frest bathe?
C. Frest bathing is a great help frm nature.D. Frest bathing is a way t change nature.
