第5题
I had regularly been told by friends and family that I tend to slouch in chairs but had thought bad posture was something one was born with and could do nothing about, That is not true. Dentists and car mechanics, among others, tend to develop bad posture from leaning over patients or engine bays. Mothers often stress and strain their necks and backs lifting and carrying children, and those of us who sit in front of computers all day are almost certainly not doing our bodies any favours.
A few clicks on the web and I found an Alexander technique teacher, Tanya Shoop, in my area of south London and booked a first appointment. Three months later I am walking straighter and sitting better, while my neck and back pain are things of the past. I feel taller, too, which I may be imagining, but the technique can increase your height by up to five centimeters if you were badly slumped beforehand.
The teaching centres on the neck, head and back. It trains you to use your body less harshly and to perform. familiar movements and actions with less effort. There is very little effort in the lessons themselves, which set apart the Alexander technique from pilates or yoga , which are exercise-based.
A typical lesson involves standing in front of a chair and learning to sit and stand with minimal effort. You spend some time 'lying on a bench with your knees bent to straighten the spine and relax your body while the teacher moves your arms and legs to train you to move them correctly.
The key is learning to break the bad habits accumulated over years. Try, for example, folding your arms the opposite way to normal. It feels odd, doesn't it？ This is an example of a habit the body has formed which can be hard to break. Many of us carry out heads too far back and tilted skyward. The technique teaches you to let go of the muscles holding the head back, allowing it to resume its natural place on the summit of our spines. The head weighs four to six kilos, so any misalignment can cause problems for the neck and body.
So who was Alexander and how did he come up with the technique？ Frederick Matthias Alexander, an Australian theatrical orator born in 1860, found in his youth that his voice was failing during performance. He analysed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked. on improving it, with dramatic results. He brought his technique to London 100 years ago and quickly gathered a following that included some very famous people. He died in 1955, having established a teacher-training school in London, which is thriving today.
So if you are slouching along the road one day, feeling weighed down by your troubles, give a thought to the Alexander technique. It could help you walk tall again.
The writer first learnt about the Alexander technique ______ .
A．after consulting someone about her problems
B．after she suddenly developed a bad back
C．when massage failed to alleviate her back pain
D．when she was browsing the internet

Alexander Glassman presented the findings recently during the yearly meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. Doctor Glassman is the director of an antismoking center at Columbia University in New York City. His study examined 100 smokers who have a history of depression. People with depression suffer periods of extreme sadness.
The researchers studied people who have succeeded and those who have failed in their efforts to stop smoking. The study found that people who did stop smoking were two times as likely to suffer from depression again within six months as those who continued to smoke.
Doctor Glassman says smokers who are depressed use tobacco to make themselves feel better. But, he says people with depression seem to have a much harder time stopping than non-depressed smokers.
So, drugs to fight depression are now also being used to help people stop smoking. Doctors say the most effective one is called Buproprion.
Buproprion mainly affects the brain chemical dopamine(多巴胺). nicotine(尼古丁) is a substance in tobacco that also affects dopamine. Buproprion helps people stop smoking because it eases the body's desire for nicotine. Doctor Glassman says the drug does not make people stop smoking. But it makes it easier for those who want to stop.
When people with depression tried to stop smoking they are ______.
A．as likely to fail as non-depressed smokers
B．more likely to fail than non-depressed smokers
C．more likely to succeed than non-depressed smokers
D．most likely to succeed among the smokers
