2.Putting more green space around an elementary school may help students develop some mental abilities,a study suggests.Researchers tested students repeatedly over the course of a year on attentiveness(注意力) and working memory,which is the ability to keep something in mind temporarily for performing a task.Overall,students whose schools were surrounded by more green space improved more than pupils from schools with less green space.
The study tracked more than 2,000students in 36primary schools in Barcelona,Spain.The pupils were in the second to fourth grades when the study began.
Green space may help mental development in part by reducing air pollution from vehicles,according to an analysis by the researchers that included pollution data from the schools.
It may also help by reducing noise and encouraging physical activity,researchers said in a paper released Monday by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Policy makers should know that more green around the school is better for cognitive(认知的) development and that they should make sure that kids can see and play in green areas,"one author,Mark Nieuwenhuijsen of the Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona,said in an email.
"Existing urban schools should think about replacing concrete or other hard surfaces with green space,and even a few trees may help,"he suggested.
The researchers used satellite images to group schools according to how much green space appeared on the school grounds and within about 55yards of the school's property.Their analysis indicated that differences in socio-economic(社会经济学的) factors between schools did not account for the study outcome.
Sally Augustin,a psychologist in La Grange Park,Illinois,who uses research on how people react to their surroundings to consult on design of buildings,products and services,said the results made sense to her.
Augustin,who did not participate in the new study,said the results fit with previous findings that views of nature help children and adults lower stress and perform mental tasks better.

A.Attentiveness is the most important quality for students
B.A good memory enable students to perform a task better
C.School surrounded by more green space are favored by parents

34.According to Mark Nieuwenhuijsen,policy makers shouldB
A.reduce the noise near the school
B.provide more green space for kids
C.reduce air pollution from vehicles
D.encourage kids to play more sports
35.Why is Augustin mentioned in the passage?C
A.To introduce another interesting study
B.To present Augustin's view about the study
C.To make the findings of the study more convincing
D.To show a different viewponit.
分析 短文主要讲了研究表明:给孩子提供更多的绿色空间能发展孩子的心理能力.
解答 33.D,细节理解题,根据句子Putting more green space around an elementary school may help students develop some mental abilities,a study suggests可知,更多的绿色空间会帮助发展学生的心理能力,故答案为D.
34.B,推理判断题,根据句子Policy makers should know that more green around the school is better for cognitive(认知的) development and that they should make sure that kids can see and play in green areas可知,Mark Nieuwenhuijsen认为决策者应该给孩子提供更多的绿色空间,故答案为B.
35.C,推理判断题,根据最后一句Augustin,who did not participate in the new study,said the results fit with previous findings that views of nature help children and adults lower stress and perform mental tasks better.可知,Augustin是没有参与研究的,用他说的话来让研究结果更令人信服,故答案为C.
