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.
The underlined word "homeostasis" in the third paragraph may mean________.
选项 A、a tendency to break apart
B、a possibility of being assimilated
C、an unstable state of disequilibrium
D、mental or emotional balance
答案D
解析 词义理解题。由关键词定位到第三段第一句。该句指出，精神满足给我们提供了慢下来、转向内心的技巧，有助于减少负面影响，让我们更加愉悦从而达到homeostasis的状态，即homeostasis是一种积极的状态，最符合文意的是D项，表达一种“精神或情绪上的平衡”，故答案为D项。A项和C项是消极的状态，B项与文意无关，本句并未体现“被同化的可能性”。
