TREES FOR LIFE

Trees are amongst the biggest and longest-living things on Earth. Besides being nice to look at, trees also play an important role improving the quality of our lives.

On a worldwide , forests help to slow down the effects of global warming by using up the gas known as carbon dioxide and giving the oxygen we need to breathe. At local neighborhood level, trees also bring important environmental benefits. They offer shade and shelter, reduces the amount of energy needed to heat and cool nearby buildings; at the same time, they also remove other impurities from the air we breathe.

Urban trees are especially important for many people they provide the only daily contact with the natural world. What's more, urban trees also provide a home for birds, small animals, and butterflies. Without the trees, we would lose the pleasure of seeing these creatures in our cities. However, trees in cities are now coming under threat. There is a limit to the level of they can put up with and, down at street level, their roots are being seriously disturbed by the digging needed to make way for modern telephone, television, and other cables.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Have you ever been so focused on drawing, playing a game, or reading that you completely lost track of time? Psychologists call this special mental state "flow." When you enter a flow state, your brain works in a unique way. Instead of using more energy, the brain actually becomes more efficient. Scientists have discovered that the brain regions responsible for self-criticism and doubt become less active. As a result, you stop worrying about making mistakes and feel fully immersed in your activity.

Flow was first described by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a psychologist who studied human happiness. He noticed that artists often worked for hours without eating or sleeping because they enjoyed the process so much. According to his research, flow occurs when a challenge perfectly matches a person's skill level. If a task is too easy, you feel bored; if it is too difficult, you feel anxious.

In modern society, reaching a flow state can be challenging because of constant digital notifications. Although technology offers many benefits, frequent interruptions make deep concentration almost impossible. To experience flow more often, experts recommend turning off your phone and setting clear goals before starting an activity. By creating a quiet environment, you can train your brain to achieve deep focus easily.
