问题     When I talk about spirituality, I’m not necessarily addressing religion, but rather engagement in deep introspection or meditation as part of the human condition.
    Spirituality has many meanings, and it may mean something different to you than me. This section refers to spirituality as one means of turning inward to foster a peaceful existence and to remove oneself from the hurried society. Sometimes spirituality takes the form of engaging in prayer, meditation, and other relaxation procedures.
    Spirituality provides all of us techniques to slow down, turn inward, reduce the negative physiological effects of chronic stress on our brain and body, and help us to generate a more pleasing sense of homeostasis. Consider these additional tips and ideas for you to express formal and informal spirituality in your daily life:
    Visit your favorite setting two to three times a week. This might be a community park, lake, beach, mountain base, river, or anywhere you feel at peace. Enjoy the beauty of your environment— taking in the beauty of your surrounding can also be considered spiritual.
    Get outside or simply remove your body and mind from the tasks that are in front of you. Everything else will be waiting for you when you return.
    Sometimes music helps when you retreat to your spiritual place. I like to download sounds of the ocean and waves and listen to soothing music while I pray or meditate.
    Engaging in spirituality is a great way to stop, reflect, meditate, and relax to take a respite from our hurried lifestyle. While that is easily said and understood, it is also very difficult to change behavior. In order for you to achieve success with the spiritual domain as part of the brain health lifestyle, you must first identify stress in your life, where you experience stress in your body, and how you deal with stress now.
    Meditation can help you to slow down and turn inward for balance and symmetry. Your brain can adapt to a chaotic world, but it will function more efficiently over a longer period of time if you provide moments of inward reflection and rest. Meditation offers one technique to achieve such inner peace, and western cultures are now more accepting of meditation and yoga.
    Part of your brain health program can include a lesson or two on meditation so you can engage in this behavior on a daily basis. Fortunately, other cultures have already embraced the power of meditation and the benefits derived from deep introspection.
Which one of the following statements is FALSE according to the text?

选项 A、Our brain can adapt to a chaotic world and work well.
B、Most people in the Western culture tend to pursue physical pleasures.
C、People usually get stressed from hurried lifestyle.
D、Meditation is being practiced by many Western people because it is originally a part of their culture.

答案D

解析 事实细节题。倒数第二段第二句指出,大脑可以适应混乱的世界,并正常运行,A项表述正确。该段最后一句指出,冥想让人们寻求到内心的平和,西方文化正在逐渐接受冥想和瑜伽,即冥想并非起源于西方文化,D项表述错误,故答案为D项。文中未直接提及B项,但根据西方文化正在逐渐接受冥想和瑜伽这一事实,可推出B项正确。C项是对倒数第三段第一句后半句的同义转述,表述无误。
