26、it or not, 43,000,000 Americans are gardening. That is about one in six. Gardeners, of course, come in many varieties.Abhi Arora used to be in the tech field. Like so many people, he sat at a desk all day, staring at a screen. Due to the stress of always staying indoors and in front of a computer, h
27、e started getting anxiety issues. To recharge and refresh, he visited a local garden in California. He noticed the shift in his mood, emotions, and improvement in his mental health overall during each visit.Arora became friends and later business partners with the gardens owner, farmer Rishi Kumar.
28、Kumar studied computer science in college but became obsessed with plants and gardening. He now runs Sarvodaya Farms in Pomona, California. “Rishi and I met an old man who was healing himself and his son through the power of gardens. It was then that I realized that we could help others feel the sam
29、e connection to the healing power of gardens,” Arora says. The two co-founded Healing Gardens, an online marketplace where people can rent their organic urban gardens or farms for use by the hour.“Ive always had a love for plants and wildlife, so with Healing Gardens we want to bring easy access to
30、the wellness benefits of nature to our community and at the same time do our part in regenerating our planet,” Arora says.Healing Gardens is based on the simple idea that most people enjoy being surrounded by plants and animals A healing garden is a restorative outdoor space that has been specifical

35、 all of the other junk food that seem to call out to us. However, eating too much junk food can harm your body, particularly if youre between the ages of 10 and 19.“Junk food shapes adolescent brains in ways that weaken their ability to think, learn and remember. It can also make it harder to contro
36、l impulsive behaviors,” said Amy Reichelt, a brain and nutrition specialist at Western University, Canada. “It may even up a teens risk of depression and anxiety.”Reichelt and two other researchers found adolescents are more sensitive than any other age group to processed foods with a lot of fat and
37、 sugar. Adolescent brains are still developing the ability to assess risks and control actions. The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that tells us we shouldnt eat chips all the time and helps us resist that urge. But this region is the last to mature - it doesnt fully develop until we are
38、in our early 20s. Meanwhile, teen brains get more active from rewards for a while. The parts of the brain that make us feel good when we do something pleasurable are fully developed by the teen years.In fact, these regions are even more sensitive when we are young. Thats because dopamine (多巴胺), a na
39、tural chemical that lifts our mood when we experience something good, is especially active in adolescent brains. Therefore, the teen brain has two strikes against it when it comes to resisting junk food. “It has a heightened drive for rewards and reduced self-regulation,” said Reichelt.So, whats the
40、 best way to say no to junk food? Researchers suggest exercise. When we exercise, the brains reward system becomes less sensitive to food. Exercise also cause the body to make a protein that helps brain cells grow and boosts connections between the prefrontal cortex and other brain regions. The pref
41、rontal cortex thus can work better to help us make wise decisions and control our impulses.12. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A. The effects of eating junk food.B. The causes of favouring junk food.C. The tendency of sharing junk food.D. The benefits of avoiding junk food.13. What is
42、the function of the prefrontal cortex?A. It serves as the sense of taste.B. It promotes teenagers spirits.C. It is partly in charge of self-control.D. It helps teenagers grow physically mature.14. What does “it” refer to in the third paragraph?A. The prefrontal cortex.B. The urge.C. The adolescent b
43、rain.D. The body.15. Why is it hard for teens to give up junk food?A. Junk food is delicious and nutritious.B. Junk food is popular among young people.C. Teenagers dont realize the harm of junk food.D. Teenagers can feel temporary excitement from junk food.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白
