Recent researches have shown that how you breathe can tell you how relaxed or how tense you are. So if you want
to keep a tranquil mind and not to feel anxious all the time, you should pay attention to your breathing. For example,
when you are calm, your breathing is deep and steady. Your breath mainly comes from the stomach, not the chest. But
when you are nervous, excited, or under pressure, your breathing changes. It becomes shallow and ragged; that is, it is
short and quick. It comes mainly from the chest or throat. Sometimes, when upset, you may even catch yourself
holding your breath without knowing it. Or you may exhale more quickly than you inhale. So whenever you want to
calm down, try to breathe to a rhythm. Inhale to the count of three; exhale to the count of four. Then get in the habit of
checking your breathing from time to time to make sure you stay relaxed and at your best.
【題組】34 Which of the following best explains the word “rhythm” in this passage?
(A)A regular movement of body in dancing. (B) A regular pattern of sound in poetry. (C)A regular pattern of sound in music. (D) A regular flow of air in breathing.
