It’s widely accepted that exposure to a little dirt can be beneficial for health. This idea is supported by many studies suggesting that those who grow up in     1     with various microbes, such as farms, often have lower rates of diseases. This is believed to originate from their regular contact with a variety of microbial life.

In the 1970s, researchers discovered a soil bacterium with features that potentially reduces stress and boosts immune (免疫) response. This finding has contributed to the     2     of interest in the human microbiome (微生物群), leading people to focus on its development and applications.

Christopher A. Lowry, a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, suggests the major microbial diversity we encounter is simply through experiencing     3     in person. This interaction is crucial not just for children but adults as well, improving both mental and physical     4    . A Finnish study further demonstrated this by     5     children in kindergarten with either a forest floor or an artificial yard. Those in contact with the natural environment showed stronger immune systems, and the effects were consistent over time.

Researchers conclude that participating in     6     activities like mountain biking, hiking, and gardening not only exposes individuals to these helpful microbes but also helps reduce symtoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Gardening, for instance, offers a healing experience,     7     real connection with the soil as you plant and care for vegetables or flowers.

Moreover, creating habitats that attract wildlife or participating in community agriculture can also motivate one’s exposure to beneficial soil microbes. Websites like U-Pick Farm Locator and PickYourOwn.org offer     8     to participate in farming, even for those without their own garden space.

Getting invovled with soil and nature in     9     ways, such as making mud pies or building fairy gardens, proves effective in mental improvement. It echoes the idea that direct     10     with the earth can be profoundly satisfying and pleasant.

Mathea Allansmith isn’t your typical grandmother. She’s the oldest woman in the world     1     a marathon. She was 92 years 194 days old when she crossed the finish line at the 2022 Honolulu Marathon,     2     the oldest female to finish a marathon.

Mathea, now 94, of Koloa, Hawaii, USA, stays in shape all year round by running seven days a week, no matter what the weather is. Whether there is rain or sunshine, she covers 36 miles every week, even when she’s on holiday. The retired doctor didn’t     3     running until she was 46 years old—after a friend     4     she should run two miles per day.

“The Honolulu Marathon is my     5     marathon mainly because it doesn’t close the gate     6     , which allows even the slowest runner to finish the race,” she said. “It’s one of the best races.

Mathea, who doesn’t allow her age to slow her     7     , thinks she is the happiest person when she’s on the road. She enjoys running for miles and waving and saying hello to the people she passes. To stay in shape, Mathea keeps a steady training routine (惯例) . “I train all year round but increase the mileage (里程) 18 weeks before a marathon,” she said.

Mathea said it was her     8     as a doctor that allowed her to understand how her body and mind     9     diet and exercise. “I see the direct relation between moving and health,” she said. “It is important to reduce stress     10     ignoring it without a plan on how to do so. Of course, exercise of any kind is a natural stress reducer.”

Nowadays, there is widespread     1     over students’ loss of independence in study. In terms of academics, some students spend a     2     of time in study but fail to     3       to what they were expected. Over time, some even     4       under the pressure of study. Students who aim to be efficient and     5     learners should become more independent of their teachers. In high school, the change of the learning style is a     6     step toward success. For those who often     7     into a dreamworld of their own when faced with difficulties in study, teachers should guide them out of their comfort zone and help them     8     any pent-up (压抑的) feelings and find passion.

Online, where posts can spread rapidly and everything leaves a trail, words can also be harsh. Often the only defence people have is     1    their online profiles entirely. But that means giving up a way to interact with others in a positive way. Bullying happens where young people spend their time-at present, mainly Weibo, Wechat, Hupu and Tieba. A widely suggested “solution” is to     2     teenagers to particular platforms. But then they will migrate to others.

Facebook and Instagram use artificial intelligence to spot verbal     3    . Most social-media sites have instructions on how to report     4     material and block other users. For example, Facebook this week announced new ways for users to avoid “unwanted, offensive or hurtful experiences”. However, a(n)     5     survey in Britain found that 70% of people thought that social-media companies do too little to prevent bullying.

More school-aged children have reported being cyberbullied than before the pandemic, according to the report     6    by the World Health Organization (WHO). The study surveyed more than 279,000 young people from 44 countries and regions. In Wales, where nearly 37,000 young people were surveyed, 17% reported falling     7    to cyberbullying. The Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey suggests the proportion of adolescents who reported being cyberbullied has witnessed some     8     increases since 2018, from 12% to 15% for boys and 13% to 16% for girls.

Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, a WHO     9    , said: “Focusing on virtual types of peer violence is now a priority to safeguard the health and     10     of populations of adolescents and young people, and cyberbullying must be viewed as a major issue for societies.”

The recorder (竖笛) is an instrument of “incredible functions” for too many generations. But now, it faces extinction. Fewer and fewer people     1     it,with one of the UK’s top music schools reporting an 80% drop in the number of young people playing it in the last 10 years.

Tom Redmond, the principal of Chetham’s school of music in Manchester, said only three of its pupils practised the recorder,     2     15 a decade ago. “More pupils were playing the piano or other instruments,” said Redmond. “The ones which have really flourished are the ones spent more time alone playing. Whereas the instruments that are more socially or orchestral based, like the recorder     3     there has been a decline. Plus, pupils now have more alternatives when     4     a hobby.”

Redmond also said that this problem     5     great attention because it extended “beyond the recorder itself and was a reflection of the future of music. “Like removing any plant or animal from an ecosystem, removing the recorder has a huge ripple effect beyond just the instrument.” he said.

The instrument is     6     revival and its future is so threatened that the European Recorder Teachers Association is trying to     7     again so it does not go the way of the lute. Chris Orton, a recorder tutor and chair of the ERTA, is leading the fight against the instrument’s extinction. When receiving an interview     8     the association, he said, “The recorder is increasingly overlooked by students, and yet it has a rich history and incredible attractions. Bands like Led Zeppelin and the Beatles have used the recorder in their songs. As well as     9     beautiful sounds, it’s an accessible instrument in that it is low-cost compared to other woodwind instruments, and it’s light and easy to carry.” Chris Orton hopes more young students can take up the recorder.

    10     his call, Anna Williams, one of the three students practising the instrument at Chetham’s will be the first recorder soloist to perform with the Chetham’s Symphony Orchestra in the Bridgewater Hall in July, acting as a role model to show the value in the instrument.

Raising a teenager today can be a challenging job. Long gone are the innocent     1     when you could have him accept your values or accomplish what you think the most important thing.

Today’s teens spend an average of 7.5 hours a day     2     to some type of electronic device and most know more about the Internet than their parents. This means they are potentially     3     to a lot more trouble than previous generation. It’s every parent’s first     4     to keep their children safe from harm or to rescue them before they     5     the consequences. Children need their parents to look after their welfare even if they are too     6     to understand and express that need.

However, protections such as parental control     7     can easily be turned off by skilful computer users. “Friending your child on Facebook doesn’t work     8    , either, as it offers users multiple ways to hide content from certain friends.

One of the best of these new services is TeenSafe.com. It’s an online service that allow parents to     9     their children’s mobile, social and Web activities, all in one place. The program can be easily customized for every family’s     10     needs to ensure that everything is okay online.
