1 . Every weekend, after hiking in the Saneum Healing Forest east of Seoul, the firefighters sip tea and enjoy an arm massage. The aim of program is     1    offer) “forest healing”; the firefighters all have certain types of stress disorder. Saneum is one of three official healing forest in South Korea, which offer a range of programs from meditation to woodcraft to camping. Soon there will be 34 more. South Koreans, many of whom suffer from work stress, digital addiction, and intense academic pressures,    2    (welcome) the medicalization of nature with great enthusiasm. In fact, the government is investing a hundred million dollars     3     a healing complex next to Sobaeksan National park.

There is increasing evidence     4     being outside in a pleasant natural environment is good for us. But what is frustrating is that fewer of us actually enjoy nature regularly. According to Lisa Nisbet, a psychology professor at Canada’s Trent University, evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring at a time    5     we are most disconnected from it. The pressures of modern life lead to long hours spent working indoors. Digital addiction and strong academic pressure add to the problem. In America, visits to parks have been declining since the dawn of email, and so    6     visits to the backyard. Research indicates that only about 10 percent of American teens spend time outside every day.

So what are some of the benefits of nature that Nisbet refers to?    7     (surround) by nature has one obvious effect: the more time we spend in nature, the     8     (stressful) we become. This has been shown to lower blood pressure, heart rates, and levels of the stress hormone, as well as reduce feelings of fear or anger. But studies also indicate that spending time in nature can do more than provide an     9     (improve) sense and well-being; it can lower rates of heart disease and diabetes. That is probably     10     we evolved in nature and have been adapted to the natural environment.

Wayward Penguin(企鹅)Released South of New Zealand

He needed a little push before speeding backward down a slide. Once in the water, he held his head up for one last look. And then he was gone. The wayward emperor penguin       1     (know) as “Happy Feet” was back home in Antarctic waters after a temporary stay in New Zealand.

Happy Feet was released into the ocean south of New Zealand on Sunday, more than two months after he came ashore on a beach nearly 2,000 miles from home and became an instant celebrity.     2     (speak) from a satellite phone, Wellington Zoo veterinarian Lisa Argilla said Happy Feet’s release went remarkably smoothly. Argilla said crew members from the boat carried the penguin inside his box to the rear part of the ship for his final send-off.

    3     when they opened the door of the box, the penguin showed no interest in leaving.

“I needed to give him a little tap on his back,” Argilla said.

The penguin slipped down the slide on his stomach, bottom first, she said. He resurfaced about 6 feet from the boat,     4     (take) a look up at the people aboard, and then disappeared beneath the surface.

“I was really happy to see him go,” Argilla said. “The best part of my job is when you get to release animals back into the wild       5     they are supposed to be.”

The 3-foot-tall bird was found on June 20 on Peka Peka Beach, about 40 miles northwest of New Zealand’s capital, Wellington. It has been 44 years     6     an emperor penguin was last spotted in the wild in New Zealand.

At first, conservation authorities said they would wait and let nature take its course with the penguin. But it soon became clear the bird’s condition was growing     7     (bad), as he swallowed sand and, likely mistaking it for snow.

    8     the world watching, authorities finally took action, moving the penguin to the Wellington Zoo four days after he was discovered. It was at the zoo     9     the bird was given a home in a room filled with a bed of ice so he wouldn’t overheat.

Now that Happy Feet     10     (nurse) back to health, his chances are as good as they are for any other penguin in the wild.

“He swam away, not caring about us anymore,” Argilla said.

She paused.

“And that is a good thing,” she said.
