It’s well-known that meditation (冥想) has many benefits, but do you know how to practice it for a beginner?

Set a proper scene

Find a space for meditation.It should be private and quiet.Make sure the temperature is comfortable.Sit on a cushion (垫子) if the floor is uncomfortable.You may play soft music if you like.

Take a moment to loosen up.Remember that the goal of meditation is to relax.Loosen your clothing, remove your shoes and have a good stretch.Do your best to ease any muscle tension that might keep you from achieving relaxation.Make an effort to relax your facial muscles.

Focus on your breath

Sit down in the space you’ve prepareD. Close your eyes and breathe.Each time you breathe in, count “one”.Each time you breathe out, count “one”.The idea is to strengthen being in the moment — the last breath doesn’t matter, and the next one doesn’t matter; only this one matters.

Feel your breath inflate (胀大) your lungs and push on your diaphragm (隔膜).Feel how sweet it is to inhale the fresh air.As you do this, your body will gradually begin to relax and all of your attention will be centered within your minD.

Should universities focus on training workers for the next decade or curing diseases for the next century? A group of governors, educators, and CEOs weighed in on the best way universities can prepare for the future. They debated how the U.S. can take the responsibility for research while still preparing students for real jobs.

Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said that the first thing she thinks about as governor is educating Oklahoma students and strengthening the workforce. So she’s carrying out a program called “America Works: Education and Training for Tomorrow’s Jobs” that aims to “reorganize our education system with the current needs of our employers”.

The state governor added that this new educational approach doesn’t just benefit students and companies, but also improves the state economy. “We’ve been able to attract new companies to our state because of what we’re doing with our universities, because our students are a pipeline for the workforce,” she said. “General Electric Company (one of the world’s biggest companies) is coming to Oklahoma.”

Other group members were more focused on the long-term goals of a research university. Amy Gutmann pointed out that “basic research is the foundation for everything else that happens at a university. And if we don’t do it, nobody else will.”

“And if nobody does that research, we’ll pay the price in health care bills,” argued Vagelos, who is a former CEO of Merck & Co., Inc, one of the largest pharmaceutical (制药的) companies in the world. “The jobs of universities are basic research, which is what is needed for attacks on disease,” he said. “There has been a reduction in coronary heart disease (冠心病) by 60% in the last forty years because of this research, and that reduces health care costs.”

James Hunt, former North Carolina governor, argued for a happy medium. Effective communication, he said, would help the public see that the research conducted at universities actually serves a practical purpose.

Eli Broad, founder of the Broad Foundations, agreed. “We have to show the public what research has achieved,” he said. “We have to show how it actually goes from basic research to something they can understand.”

1.Why does Oklahoma appeal to General Electric Company?

A. University graduates in the state are well trained.

B. There’s much support from the local government.

C. Many students in the state hope to be workers.

D. The state economy has been growing rapidly.

2.What is Gutmann’s attitude toward Fallin’s program?

A. Curious. B. Tolerant.

C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.

3.Vagelos mentioned coronary heart disease in order to show _____.

A. the achievements of Merck & Co., Inc

B. the difficulty of developing new drugs

C. the heavy burden of health care costs

D. the importance of basic research

4.Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A. Universities or colleges?

B. Workers or researchers?

C. Basic or further research?

D. Education or development?

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

A Good Night’s Sleep

When the morning sun looks in through your bedroom window, do you jump out of bed? 1. An adequate amount of sleep can make the difference between a great day and a terrible one!

A good night’s sleep doesn’t just happen. You need to prepare for it. 2. First, go to bed at the same time every day, and get up at the same time. If you haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep, don’t oversleep the next morning. Get up at your regular time. Sleeping late for just a couples of days can change your body clock to a different cycle. You don’t want that if you have a set daily schedule.

Also, avoid big meals at night. 3. Your stomach works hard to digest those fatty foods, and that may keep you up.

Your body produces a chemical called melatonin (褪黑色素) that helps you sleep. Light affects the amount of melatonin your body makes. 4. So at night turn off your TV and computer. Also, don’t read from a backlit electronic equipment like an IPad. Some scientists think that the light from those stops your body from making melatonin. So turn those screens off at least an hour before bedtime.

Maybe you can’t sleep or you wake up in the middle of the night. 5. Get up and do something relaxing elsewhere. Then go back to bed when you feel asleep again. If you worry a lot, make a list of things you need to do the next day. Do that an hour before bed. That way you get your worrying out of the way before you go to bed.

After a good night’s sleep, you’ll be able to face a new day.

A. Don’t just lie in bed.

B. You can have three meals a day.

C. Or do you roll over and complain?

D. Various experts have given tips to help.

E. Your TV and computers might affect your sleep.

F. It produces more in the evening and less in the daytime.

G. Eating heavy, rich food within two hours of bedtime can keep you awake.
