21、Outdoor swimming helps reduce inflammation, the cause of many health issues. It should be a public health measure, says Mark Harper. A simple intervention that reduces inflammation could, therefore, be an effective public health measure.
The potential of cold-water bathing is supported by the results of our survey of 722 people “self-medicating” with the activity. As we had assumed, most people with the inflammatory conditions found it helped their symptoms. Given the inflammatory aspect of Covid-19, there is good reason to think that cold water could also help with these healthcare issues.
Most subjects were using cold-water bathing for their mental health. So, we involved 59 people with anxiety and depression into an eight-week sea-swimming course. Not only did we see an improvement in their symptoms during the course, but more than 80 per cent were still engaging in the activity and finding benefit from it three months later.
Even if you don’t have access to open water, one study showed that office workers who had cold showers took fewer sick days than those who didn’t.
The main issue is safe access. With sewage warnings for English and Welsh beaches this summer, water quality needs to be addressed urgently. Then, laws could be used to open up access and also free land owners from responsibility. After that, organizations like the National Trust might put in measures such as ladders and let people use their facilities.
People also need to become safe and confident swimmers through courses such as those run by Chill UK, which began with our clinical trial and is now rolling out around the country, or groups like Mental Health Swims. Swimmers also need to be aware of how to reduce their risk of cold water shock.
Happily, the potential benefits of cold-water swimming as a public health measure have been recognized by Fulton MacGregor, a member of Scottish parliament. As a result, we ran a round table at the Scottish parliament on 13 September. This will be followed by an in-person event in March 2023, bringing experts together to turn this into a reality.
In the meantime, the water is still relatively warm, so why not try an outdoor bathing?

22、Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you came into it in the first place? I couldn’t agree more when I read an article from Live Science that stated, “There are several types of memories, and the brain has a unique way of forgetting each kind.” Memory does some funny things. While forgetting is a normal and vital part of our brain function, we have to admit that memory can be a mysterious and naughty joker. One of the most common mysteries is a short-term memory failure where people find themselves entering a room with no memory of why they did so.
Everyone has experienced this at least once in their lives. We call it a “senior moment”, but researchers say it’s actually okay to put the blame on our doorways and not on our ageing brains. The act of walking through a doorway sends a signal to our brains that a new scene has started and that previous memories should be put away. This is what causes our memory failure and confusion. The thoughts we had before we entered that new scene have actually been sectionalized (分区). In an interview with Live Science Gabriel Radvansky, a psychologist at the University of Norte Dame said, “Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an ‘event boundary’ in the mind.”
I find this amazing, as I watch it happen to people all around me every day. I guess I should stop telling them they’re getting old and actually explain the cause. For me it’s not doorways that cause a problem. It’s flights of stairs. Every so often I find myself going up the stairs and forgetting why I did so just as soon as I’ve reached the landing. What’s up with that? Now if I can only find out what that means, I’d be truly fascinated.
【1】What contributes to our “senior moment” according to the researchers?
A.Ageing brains.
B.Doorways.
C.Different moments.
D.The same scenes.
【2】Which of the following is Radvansky likely to agree with?
A.Walking through a doorway makes us nervous in the mind.
B.Sectionalized thoughts disappear when we enter a new scene.
C.Too many events in life are harmful to our brain memory.
D.Exiting through doorways causes short memory failures.
【3】What may confuse the author?
A.Whether he should explain the cause to others.
B.How much he was fascinated by science.
C.How many people suffer from doorway problems.
D.Why going up the stairs makes him forgetful.
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A.Short memory failures do have scientific reasons.
B.Our brain has several types of memories.
C.Everyone has a unique way of forgetting things.
D.Psychology theories can help us improve memories.

24、What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red?【1】Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观者). At least, this is what psychologists(心理专家)tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.【2】If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
【3】A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.【4】A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
【5】It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A.On the other hand, black is depressing.
B.They tells us that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up-we are born with our preference.
C.The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.
D.If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E.Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F.Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
G.Colors do influence our moods——there is no doubt about it .
