According to the study posted onScienceDirect, gardening just two to three times a week increa the

benefits of better well-being as much as possible and lower stress levels.

The rearch explored why residents engaged with gardening and the extent to which they recognized any

health benefits from the activity.

A questionnaire was handed out electronically within theUK, with 5,766 gardeners and 249 non-gardeners

responding. Data was collected on factors including garden typology（類型學）, frequency of gardening and

individual awareness of health and well-being.

"This is the first time the do respon（劑量效應）to gardening has been tested and the evidence from the

survey strongly suggests that the more frequently you garden, the greaterthe health benefits," said Royal

impact on well-being than undertaking regular and powerful exerci like cycling or running.

When gardening, our brains are pleasantly entertained by nature around us. Gardening takes our attention

away from ourlves and our stress, therefore, it helps restore our minds and reduce unfavorable feelings.

Improving health, however, was not the main motive power to garden, but rather the direct pleasure

gardening brought to the participants.

"Gardening is like effortless exerci becau it doesn't feel as exhausting and hard as going to the gym, for

example, but we canexpendsimilar amounts of energy," Chalmin-Pui added.

Most people say they garden for pleasure and enjoyment, so people who like gardening may be easy to be

addicted to it. However, this sometimes may become a piece of good news, from the aspect of mental health. "We

hope all the millions of new gardeners will be getting their daily gardening and feeling all the better for it. "

Chalmin-Pui said in the interview.

Susan Scott, 71, is glad that she didn't think about her age when she took up bodybuilding at the age of 59.

“I reinvent mylf every ten years. I started my 60s as a bodybuilderand now I'm beginning my 70s as a writer,”

she said. “People usually limit themlves by age, and it's discouraging. With age, I remain young at heart.”

Dr Susan started bodybuilding at an age when most are considering retirement though she was an athlete

from an early age. As a child in Venezuela, she took to gymnastics and later graduated with a physical education

degree.

Then she obtained a master's degree in education and later a Ph. D. in Adult Personal Development. She

taught at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, Massachutts, for 16 years, while raising two

daughters.

and offered to train me. I started in January and in June he took me to my first competition in Bradenton, Florida,”

she recalled.

Dr Susan's photos show that she has devoted long hours to taking care of her body. But she also develops her

mind and spirit. On any given day, she gets up at 3 am to read books. At 4:30 am she's out to walk three miles and

run another three. This is followed by yoga and a swim at the beach while the sun ris. After writing her journal

and working on her book between 8 and 10 am, she hits the gym for at least two hours. “I don't lo track of time,”

she said.

Dr Susan's war on ageism has rubbed off on her two daughters, both in their early thirties. “They both take

care of their bodies and minds. If you give them a good foundation as a parent, you know that they will always

come back to their roots. I tried to remind mylf of that during their difficult teen years.”

Depression（抑郁癥）in young adult males, ages 18 or 19, is linked to a 20% greater risk of having a heart

attack in middle age, according to a new Swedish study.

The link can be partly explained by poorer stress resilience（抗壓能力）and lower physical fitness among

teens with mental disorders.

Therearch included 238,013 men born between 1958 and 1962 who were given examinations in

adolescence（青春期）and were then followed into middle age（up to the age of 58 years）. A total of 34,503 men

were diagnod（診斷）with a mental disorder.

The study found thata mental disorder in young adulthond was linked to a higher risk of having heart attack

by middle age. Compared to men without a mental illness in young adulthood，the risk of heart attack was

20%higher among men with a diagnosis.

“We already knew that menwho were physically fit in adolescence em less likely to keep fitness in later

years if they have low stress resilience” said study author Dr. Bergh, “Our rearch has also shown that low stress

resilience is also connected with a greater tendency towards bad behavior, such as higher risks of smoking,

drinking and other drug u.”

“Better fitness in adolescence is likely to help protect against later heart dia, particularly if people stay fit

as they age. Physical activities may also reduce some of the bad effects of stress. Tho in poor health could

benefit from additional support to encourage exerci and develop plans to deal with stress,” said Bergh.

12. How does the author develop paragraph 3?

A. By giving examples. B. By listing figures.

C. By making a comparison. D. By drawing a conclusion.

13. What are men with low stress resilience likely to do?

C. Taking exerci is unnecessary. D. Staying fit is of great importance.

15. In which ction of a newspaper may this text appear?

A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Fashion.
