If you get seasick easily, you may prepare for boat rides with some medicine and other helpful stuff. Now there's one more remedy: Timing your breathing to control the nauseaing (作呕的) motion. The technique presumably works because it helps control gravity sensors (传感器) in the abdomen (腹部)—a lesser-known input to our fine-tuned balance system.The brain is traditionally thought to sense body position in three ways. The inner ears sense motions of the head; the eyes see where the head is; and tiny sensory organs in muscles and tendons (筋) sense where the rest of the body is. More recently, researchers have realized that sensors in many other parts of the body also play a role: in the abdomen, the lower organs, and even blood vessels. As long as all of these sensors send matching signals to the brain, we feel directed. But if one or two don't match up, the brain gets confused and we become nauseated.Scientists knew the most sickening motions closely match the rate of natural breathing; they also knew that people naturally tend to breathe in time with a motion. In fact, Navy seamen in World War II discovered that they could use certain breathing tricks to combat motion sickness. But no one had ever tested whether breathing out of time with a motion could prevent nausea.1. According to the passage, which of the following helps control gravity sensors in the abdomen?A. Some medicine.B. Our fine-tuned balance system.C. Timing one's breathing.D. The nauseating motion.

In the past two weeks we have looked at the happiness formula defined by positive psychologist Martin Seligman, where H (happiness) = S (your biological set point for feeling happy) + C (the conditions of your life) + V (the voluntary choices you make). This week we look at the conditions in life that can increase our happiness level.Step 1: Peace and quietJoin Jon Haydt in his excellent book, "The Happiness Hypothesis (假说)", notes that research shows that we can never completely adapt to new or long-lasting noise pollution. Loud noises cause one of our most primitive fear responses and we can never fully relax if we are surrounded by intrusive (扰人的) noise. Noisy neighbors are one of the most emotional causes of domestic upset for a very good reason. It is essential to have some peace and quiet every day. If you are unfortunate enough to live somewhere noisy, persist with complaining to your landlord. Additionally, try1/5What will happen to a person if he is surrounded by intrusive noise?A. He can never fully relax.B. He will have a poor health.C. He will have a bad relationship.D. He can adapt to it very soon.
