Being in a calm state of mind is simply wonderful. Results of this can be seen when parents no longer shout at their children over any small thing and when one can keep him cool when bad things happen and doesn’t let the situation become worse by his negative influence.
Also results can be seen on a larger scale. In 1993 a very interesting scientific experiment called The US Transcendental Meditation experiment was conducted in Washington. A company called TM got 4,000 calm and relaxed people to simply sit and meditate (冥想) in a central Washington convention center. The results of this experiment showed that during those particular 8 weeks, violent crimes, such as murder, rape, assaults, clearly decreased by as much as 23%.
This is evident proof that meditation can change the state of mind, bring back peace of mind and collective meditation is contagious (蔓延的), just as anything done collectively is contagious. For example, a person has the urge to become aggressive (while in normal circumstances that person is very calm and normal), just because he is sitting at a stadium watching a football game and everyone around is shouting and is aggressive.
Isn’t increasing the quality of life worth spending 20 minutes of time on meditation? Yes, very few people follow through with a meditation method that should be a joy to do. Many start and leave it after only a few sessions.
So if collective meditation has proven that meditation works, that it calms people down and that it brings their levels of stress down, why not employ it in everyday life?
小题1:The underlined word “turbulent” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ ”.
A.changeless | B.disorderly | C.perfect | D.expected |
A.was to test whether meditation is useful |
B.was conducted throughout America |
C.asked the participants to do a lot of sports |

A.Violent crimes are closely related to aggressive characters. |
B.People are sometimes easily annoyed by small things. |
C.Many people fail to carry out a meditation method. |
D.Meditation can cure people of many illnesses. |
答案
小题1:B
小题2:A
小题3:D
解析
试题分析:文章介绍了冥想的好处,可以使人们放松,降低犯罪率。
小题1:猜词题:从后面的句子:that put everyone on edge all the time and it makes people angry with their families, co-workers, friends and relatives, frustrated (沮丧的)and highly annoyed just for the noise of the neighbors or the music coming from the opposite house.可知这个单词是:纷乱的,杂乱的,选B
小题2:推理题:从第三段的句子:The results of this experiment showed that during those particular 8 weeks, violent crimes, such as murder, rape, assaults, clearly decreased by as much as 23%.可知这个实验是为了弄清冥想是否有用。选A
小题3:细节题:从第三段的句子:This is evident proof that meditation can change the state of mind, bring back peace of mind and collective meditation is contagious (蔓延的),可知冥想可以使人放松,但没有说到可以治病。选D
点评:做阅读理解题首先要明确文章的中心意思,只有明确了中心意思,那么做阅读理解的试题才能做到游刃有余。阅读理解的主旨大意题其实主要考查考生把握全文内容或理解文章中心思想的能力以及分析归纳文章段落大意、重要情节、人物特征和写作特点等方面的能力。文章的主旨大意明确了,若还具备分析长难句的能力,难的试题也会迎刃而解。

Experts tell people to seek the safety of a building or a hard-top vehicle any time they hear thunder, even if it is not raining. They say lightning can strike as far as sixteen kilometers from any rainfall. Lightning can travel sideways. And at least ten percent of lightning happens without any clouds overhead that you can see.
People who are outdoors should make sure they are not the tallest thing around. Bend low to the ground, but do not lie down. And do not stand near tall object. Get away from water and anything made of metal. A car is safe, but don’t touch any metal inside.
Safety experts say people in buildings should stay away from anything with wires or pipes that lead to the outside. The National Weather Service says if you plan to disconnect any electronic equipment, do so before the storm arrives. Do not use a wired telephone. Do not use water. All these can carry electricity.
Some people think a person struck by lightning carries an electrical charge afterward. Experts say this is not true. It is safe to begin emergency treatment
