阅读下列材料,从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。The best antistress(抗紧张) medicine we have may be right under your nose! Think you know how to do it? Try this simple test: sit or stand wherever you are and take a deep breath,then let it out.What expanded more as you breathed in,your chest or your abdomen(腹部)? If the answer is your chest,you're like most people and you're doing it wrong.Take another deep breath and keep reading.
The technique is so powerful that physician James Gordon,director of the Centre for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington,teaches it to nearly every patient he sees.
“Slow,deep breathing is probably the only best antistress medicine we have,” says Gordon,“When you bring air down into the lower part of the lungs,where oxygen exchange is most efficient,everything changes.Heart rate slows,blood pressure decrease,muscles relax,anxiety ceases and the mind calms.”
Obviously,everyone alive knows how to breathe.But Gordon and other experts in the field of mindbody medicine say that few people in industrialized societies know how to breathe correctly.They are taught to suck in their guts(内脏) and puff out(鼓起) their chests.At the same time,they are attacked with constant stress,which causes heart rate to increase.As a result,they become shallow “chest breathers”,using primarily the middle and upper parts of the lungs.Few people—other than musicians,singers and some athletes are even aware that the abdomen should expand when they breathe in.
