Eating less meat is becoming more common all over the world. In the US, for example, there is a campaign(活動)called Meatless Mondays. The idea is to have meatless meals every Monday. By the end of 2018, 230 middle and primary schools in the US had joined this campaign, according to Southern Weekly. These schools give students a vegetarian breakfast and lunch every Monday.
How did Meatless Mondays become part of food culture in the West? The first reason is that it's healthy. Many studies have shown that eating less meat is good for people's health. -Vegetarian diets can make some diseases (疾。,like obesity (肥胖)and heart problems less." scientist Sharon Palmer told CNN. **Even going meatless one day a week can make a difference."
But it’s not only about health. A study from Nature found that animal products(制品) create a lot of greenhouse gases. Specifically, they account for 78 percent of total emissions (排放).If we eat less meat, it will be better for the environment.
In March this year, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said that all public schools in New York City would join the Meatless Mondays campaign. Joining the campaign, he said, will help us stay healthy and keep our planet green for the future.

A new research has discovered that meditation(冥想)and oxygen sport together reduce depression(抑郁). The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months, reduced the symptoms of a group of students by 40 percent.
“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students, ”said lead author Dr. Brandon Alderman.“It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression.”
Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive(交互的)effect in combating depression. Alderman and Dr. Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training( MAP) enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.
Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport. They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing, which enabled those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention.
Shors, who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus-part of the brain involved in memory and learning-says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.
The idea for the human intervention(干預)came from her laboratory studies, she says, with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.
By learning to focus their attention and exercise, people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past, Shors says.
“We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be affective in improving mental health, ”said Alderman.“The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”
1.What made the research so different?
A.Adopting a way of meaningful talk. B.Treating depression with special medicine.
C.Combining the two ways to reduce depression. D.Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed.
2.The underlined word "combasting" in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.
A.fighting B.developing C.improving D.examining
3.What can we know about what the participants did in the research?
A.They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking. B.They thought quietly and then took exercise.
C.They took exercise longer than they thought. D.They took exercise while thinking quietly.
4.What is Shors' main purpose of her studies?
A.To find out certain brain cells of humans. B.To study the production of new brain cells.
C.To offer people a new method to reduce stress. D.To decide the links between stress and exercise.
