The sun was setting on the Pacific,and I stood enjoying the warm light through my hotel window.Suddenly,loud cries broke the silence—five white-faced monkeys jumped in,took away my bananas and rushed into the forest!This was just one of many surprising moments in Costa Rica.
A few days earlier,I first got to a lively town in this small country.It sits at the foot of Arenal Volcano (火山).When I looked up,thick clouds completely covered the volcano—there was nothing to see!But the next morning,I woke up early—and there it was!I couldn't look away!
Then I hiked to see La Fortuna Waterfall.Going down 500 steps was tiring,but blue butterflies danced around me.The waterfall was so loud!I touched the water—it was freezing cold!Still,I jumped in like a brave penguin.That evening,I relaxed in the natural hot spring under the waterfall.
The next day,I visited Monteverde Cloud Forest with a guide.While crossing a bridge high above the trees,I couldn't believe my eyes:plants covered everywhere in Costa Rica—mountains,beaches and even towns!Nature is truly the boss here! "Our rainforest cover has doubled from 26% to over 52% in the past 30 years," my guide told me. "We've set up many nature parks to protect the rainforest." Just as I was wowed by the sea of green,a whisper came, "Be quiet—big cats live here."
As we left the cloud forest,my guide smiled and said, "Everyone here lives with nature." That's when I realized:Costa Rica's magic isn't just its beauty—it's how local people work together to keep it wild.

Forest bathing began in Japan in the 1980s.It is a practice called shinrin-yoku,which can be translated as "taking in the medicine or air of the forest".It has recently grown more popular worldwide.When people take time in the natural green world to "be" in a fully present way,research shows many mind-body benefits.
One of the benefits of taking a walk in nature is getting away from screens.When we enjoy nature,we keep ourselves away from computers or mobile phones.We take a break and allow ourselves time to get strength and energy back.During forest bathing,we are heightening (增强) our senses,stopping making quick judgment,and focusing on the "now."
In fact,forest bathing is also becoming an increasingly popular method of dealing with stress.Forest bathing has been proven to help those experiencing stressful situations.In one recent study,people who formed the habits of walking through forests had lowered blood pressure (血压) and got out of worries.
Meanwhile breathing in forest air increases the level of natural killer (NK) cells (细胞) in our blood.Our body uses these NK cells to fight illness.One Japanese study showed a rise in the number and activity of these NK cells by people who forest bathe.Plants and trees in forests can also send out something called phytoncides.This tree oil can not only protects plants and trees themselves,but also help people sleep well,lift mood and attention,and boost creativity.
Forest bathing requires a promise to a repeated practice;it's not a one-and-done quick fix.Research in England on green spaces showed spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature is connected with good health and well-being.It doesn't matter whether you break up the two hours into shorter walks in a local park filled with lots of trees or an afternoon in a forest.
Taking a speedy walk through nature and rushing through the activity to get back to work,let's say,may not be as effective.Nor is it advised to play loud music as you walk.
Forest bathing shows a different way of life.You are walking through nature in a forest and taking your time.You are noticing your feelings and starting more of a relaxing and meaningful life.
23.According to the passage,during forest bathing people may ______ .
A. pay full attention to the past B. make judgment more quickly
C. spend less energy to lose weight D. keep themselves away from worries
24.What does the word "boost " in Paragraph 5 probably mean? ______
A. Improve. B. Examine. C. Control. D. Require.
25.About forest bathing,the writer might agree that people should ______ .
A. play loud music while walking
B. form a habit of walking in nature
C. walk for two hours in the park every time
D. have a quick walk through nature before work
26.What could be the best title of the passage
A. Forest bathing:can you believe it?
B. Forest bathing:is it helpful or not?
C. Forest bathing:benefits from nature
D. Forest bathing:a way to change nature

The freezing rain beat against my back as I pulled the heavy cab(马车) through the icy streets.My hooves (蹄) slipped on the frozen stones,but the driver John kept pulling the rope. "Move faster,you lazy animal!" he shouted.I could see my breath turning white in the air,my sides moving up and down rapidly.
When the wheel stuck in a rut,the whip (鞭子) cracked near my ear. "Lift your feet!" John screamed.I pushed as hard as I could,my wet fur felt heavy on my neck.As the carriage(车厢) finally moved,I heard a scary noise from the wooden parts of the carriage.
"Sir,this horse is struggling," a lady passenger called out,looking carefully through the cab window. "His legs are shaking!"
"Don't worry,madam.He's strong as an ox," John lied,snapping the whip again:My right horseshoe had been loose for days,sending sharp pain through my leg with every step.
At the blacksmith's shop,I tried to slow down.Old Mr.Clay ran out with his lantern. "Stop!That horse is losing a shoe!" he cried.But John just laughed. "No time for your nonsense(胡说)!"
Rainwater mixed with the salt from my eyes. I remembered kind Mr.Gordon,my first owner,who would check my hooves daily and feed me sugar cubes.Since being sold to this cab company,no one had touched my sweaty neck gently or spoken gentle words to me.
Back in the stable(马厩) at midnight,my swollen(肿起的) leg kept shaking as I chewed (咀嚼) rotten hay.Ginger,the old female horse next door,nosed through the wooden boards. "Stay strong," she whispered. "Humans think we're machines that never break."
Moonlight through the broken roof showed the frozen water trough in the corner.I lowered my aching head,wondering if spring would ever come.
—Adapted from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
27.In which season did the story take place? ______

C. Black Beauty cried because of pain and sadness.
D. Someone put some salt into Black Beauty's eyes.
29.Which words best describe John according to the passage? ______
A. Clever and kind. B. Rich and patient.
C. Cold and impatient. D. Warm and friendly.
30.What can we know from the passage? ______
A. Ginger would soon leave the cab company.
