II. Grammar and vocabulary

Section A(20)

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks,

use one word that best fits each blank.

Every weekend, after hiking in the Saneum Healing Forest east of Seoul, the firefighters sip tea and enjoy an

arm massage. The aim of the program is ____1____ (offer) “forest healing”; the firefighters all have certain types

of stress disorder.

Saneum is one of three official healing forests in South Korea, which offer a range of programs from

meditation to woodcraft to camping. Soon there will be 34 more. South Koreans, many of whom suffer from work

stress, digital addiction, and intense academic pressures, ____2____ (welcome) the medicalization of nature with

great enthusiasm. In fact, the government is investing a hundred million dollars ____3____ a healing complex next

to Sobaeksan National park.

There is increasing evidence ____4____ being outside in a pleasant natural environment is good for us. But

what is frustrating is that fewer and fewer of us actually enjoy nature regularly. According to Lisa Nisbet, a

psychology professor at Canada’s Trent University, evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring at a time

____5____ we are most disconnected from it. The pressures of modern life lead to long hours spent working

indoors. Digital addiction and strong academic pressure add to the problem. In America, visits to parks have been

declining since the dawn of email, and so ____6____ visits to the backyard. Research indicates that only about 10

percent of American teens spend time outside every day.

So what are some of the benefits of nature that Nisbet refers to? ____7____ (surround) by nature has one

obvious effect: the more time we spend in nature, the ____8____ (stressful) we become. This has been shown to

lower blood pressure, heart rates, and levels of the stress hormone, as well as reduce feelings of fear or anger. But

studies also indicate that spending time in nature can do more than provide an ____9____ (improve) sense of well-

being; it can lower rates of heart disease and diabetes. That is probably ____10____ we evolved in nature and have

been adapted to the natural environment.
