1、高考英语二轮复习综合验收精讲(四)阅读理解题一： In meditation (冥想), people sit quietly and focus their attention on their breath. As they breathe in and out, they attend to their feelings. As thoughts go through their minds, they let them go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let go. According to a recent study at the Insight Med
2、itation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, three months of training in this kind of meditation causes a marked change in how the brain allocates( 分配) attention.

4、g from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation is good for the brain. It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of well-being. In an experiment, 17 volunteers with no meditation experience in the experimental group spent three months meditating 10 to 12 hours a day.

Just ask Daniel Levision, who meditated for three months as part of the study. “I am a much better listener,” he said, “I do not get lost in my own personal reaction to what people are saying.”36.
