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(治癒). _____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(情緒). 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 air with health care.
G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

文章大意：
新鮮空氣對你真的有好處嗎？
我們都是聽著別人告訴我們“出去呼吸點新鮮空氣”長大的。但是新鮮空氣真的像你媽媽說的那樣對你有好處嗎？根據最近的研究，如果你的露營地的空氣質量好，答案是肯定的。
新鮮空氣淨化我們的肺。如果你呼吸的空氣是乾淨的——如果你遠離城市的煙霧的話——那麼空氣中就充滿了賦予生命的、充滿活力的氧氣。如果你在戶外鍛鍊，你的身體就會學會呼吸更深，允許更多的氧氣到你的肌肉和你的大腦裡。
最近，人們已經開始研究自然世界和治癒之間的聯繫。全國各地的康復中心已經開始建造康復花園。在這些地方，病人在康復期可以親近大自然。事實證明。只通過看綠色植物和養花種草就可以減少壓力，降低血壓，使人們有一個好心情。綠色植物對我們有好處。看到窗外樹枝的醫院病人比看到建築物或天空的病人恢復得更快。置身大自然使我們精神煥發。它給我們一種和平的感覺。
獲得新鮮空氣的另一個好處是陽光。雖然太陽光線會老化並傷害我們的皮膚，但它們也會給我們提供有益的維生素D。15分鐘後防曬開始起作用，這段時間足夠你的皮膚吸收一天所需的維生素D。
解析：
36.空前的people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”和選項中的“your mother always said”構成了呼應；同時空格後的“the answer is a big YES”得知空格處應該為一個問句，E項“但是新鮮空氣真的像你母親說的那樣對你有好處嗎？”與此對應，承上啟下，故選E。
37.首先空格後的“the air you’re breathing”對應到A選項的lungs；此外，下文中“…breathe more deeply, allowing more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain”是對前文的遞進，在戶外，更多的氧氣進入你的肌肉和大腦。註解：吸入的空氣首先進入的是肺部，然後才會使我們的肌肉和大腦受益，故該空應選A項“新鮮空氣清潔我們的肺部”。
38.根據空格後的“these places”，可以推知，該空應該提到表示地點的複數名詞。“these places”對應G選項的“Healing Gardens”。
39.根據空格後代詞“it”尋找指代。C選項的“Being in nature”可以被it所代指。同時，“Being in nature”跟前句的“tree branches”以及段首句的“natural world”構成復現。從語句邏輯來說，前文介紹的是“康復花園”中的綠色植物對於病人康復的好的作用，空後提到“它給我們一種平和感”，仍在介紹“康復花園”這種自然環境的好處，所以，空格句要起承上啟下，語意仍在介紹“康復花園”這種自然環境的好處的範疇之中。故選C項“身處大自然可以使人精神煥發。”
40.根據空格後的“sun’s rays”可知，此題可以復現的角度去分析。the sun’s rays對應D選項的“sunlight”，故答案選D。
