原文Is Fresh Air Really Good for You? We all grew up hearing people tell us to ＂go out and get some fresh air＂ . 36 According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good. 37 If the air you’re breathing is clean — which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities — then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles（肌肉）and your brain. Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing（治愈）. 38 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood（情绪）. Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 39 It gives us a great feeling of peace. 40 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D — but still protect your skin — put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D. A. Fresh air cleans our lungs. B. So what are you waiting for? C. Being in nature refreshes us. D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight. E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said? F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care. G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens. 译文新鲜空气真的对你有好处吗？ 我们都是听着人们告诉我们“出去呼吸新鲜空气”长大的。36根据最近的研究，如果你露营地的空气质量很好，答案是肯定的。 37如果你呼吸的空气是干净的——如果你远离城市的烟雾也是如此——那么空气中充满了赋予生命的氧气。如果你在户外锻炼，你的身体会学会更深入地呼吸，让更多的氧气进入你的肌肉和大脑。 最近，人们开始研究自然世界与治愈之间的联系（愈）。38在这些地方，患者在康复期间可以去亲近自然。事实证明，只看绿色的、生长的东西就可以减轻压力，降低血压，让人们心情更好（activity绪）。绿色对我们有好处。医院里看到窗外树枝的病人可能比看到建筑物或天空的病人恢复得更快。39它给我们一种极大的平静感。 40虽然阳光会老化并伤害我们的皮肤，但它们也会给我们提供有益的维生素D。为了确保你获得足够的维生素D，但仍能保护你的皮肤，出门时立即涂上防晒霜。防晒霜大约需要15分钟才能开始工作，这对你的皮肤来说是足够的时间来吸收一天的维生素D。 A.新鲜空气净化我们的肺。 B.那你还在等什么？ C.置身大自然使我们精神焕发。 D.获得新鲜空气的另一个好处是阳光。 E.但是新鲜空气真的像你妈妈常说的那样对你有益吗？ F.同样重要的是，我们往往将新鲜空气与医疗保健联系在一起。 G.全国各地的康复中心都开始建造康复花园。
