A new study found that inner-city kids living in neighborhoods with more green space gained about 13% less weight over a two-year period than kids living among more concrete and fewer trees. Such       tell a powerful story. The obesity epidemic(流行病) began in the 1980s, and many people believe increased portion sizes and inactivity are to      , but that can't be everything. Fast foods and TVs have been       us for a long time. "Most experts agree that the changes were        to something in the environment," says social epidemiologist Thomas Glass of The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. That something could be a         of the green.
The new research,     in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, isn't the first to associate greenery with better health, but it does get us close    identifying what works and why. At its most straightforward, a green neighborhood        means more places for kids to play – which is     since time spent outdoors is one of the strongest correlates(相关的事物) of children's activity levels. But green space is good for the mind     : research by environmental psychologists has shown that it has cognitive（认知的）     for children with attention-deficit disorder. In one study, just reading       in a green setting improved kids' symptoms.
    to grassy areas has also been linked to         stress and a lower body mass index (体重指数) among adults. And an       of 3,000 Tokyo residents associated walkable green spaces with greater longevity (长寿) among senior citizens.
Glass cautions that most studies don't           prove a causal link between greenness and health, but they're nevertheless helping spur action. In September the U. S. House of Representatives        the delightfully named No Child Left Inside Act to encourage public initiatives aimed at exposing kids to the outdoors.
Finding green space is not       easy, and you may have to work a bit to get your family a little grass and trees. If you live in a suburb or a city with good parks, take       of what's there. Your children in particular will love it – and their bodies and minds will be       to you.

The winter skies are grey and it’s cold outside. The nights come early and we spend a lot more time 16   and alone. Many people   17   winter: so cold, so dark, so boring. But I like winter because I have more time to read.
For many students reading means school; it means   18 . Reading is something your teacher assigns and it’s something you’re   19 . Reading is something you have to do, not something you want to do. But for me and many other people, reading is the most   20   thing we can imagine. Getting lost in a good book can   21   a cold winter evening disappear. Dull grey skies are no   22  for the fantastic adventures of Frodo in The Lord of the Rings《指环王》，or for romantic trouble-making of Jane Austen’s Emma《爱玛》, or for the youthful problems of Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye《麦田守望者》.
All of those books are studied in North American high schools. They are interesting and well written books that   23   young people.   24 , even there, many high school students don’t enjoy reading the books because they are   25   their school work: “Oh, my God! Two hundred pages! I’ll never be able to read   26   much.” But sometimes a funny thing happens. They begin to read and they begin to follow the   27 . Suddenly, the world inside the book becomes more exciting and more wonderful than the world they   28 . At the moment the thought   29   reading is work disappears and reading becomes   30 .
Reading anything is   31   but reading good books is a terrific way to improve your English. Good writers write English very well and   32   you with good examples to follow. And good books will tell you more about English   33 : what people think, how they talk, how they interact with each other. But don’t let me 34   it by telling you that reading is good for you. Just think of it as a good way to   35   on a cold winter evening.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly    16    to your physical and    17    health.
“People who always forgive others   18    less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,” says Frederic Luskin, Ph.D., the    19    of Forgive for Good. “So it can help    20    on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune（免疫的） system and    21    people to feel more vital.”
So how do you start the forgiveness? Try    22    these steps:
Calm yourself. To defuse your    23   , try a simple stress-management technique. “Take a couple of breaths and think of    24    that gives you pleasure: a   25    scene in nature, someone you love,” Luskin says.
Don’t    26    an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you has no    27    of apologizing,” Luskin says. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same    28   . So if you wait for people to apologize you could be waiting a(n)   29    long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean    30    to the person who upsets you.
Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying（重播） your    31    gives power to the person who caused you pain. “   32    focusing on your hurt feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness   33    you,” Luskin says.
Try to see things from the other person’s view. If you empathize（把感情移入） with that person, you may    34    that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear—even love.
Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who always forgive others will get more energy, better    35    and better sleep.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself.“For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,” Luskin says. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.”
