听力材料:
During a state of deep relaxation, severalphysiological changes take place in the body: thebody's oxygen consumption is reduced; the heartbeat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease,and there is decreased sympathetic nervous systemactivity. [32]This restful state not only allows thebody to repair and restore itself, but it has acalming effect on the consciousness. How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is amatter of opinion. [33]A recent report by Dr. David Holmes of the University of Kansas in thejournal American Psychologist said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as manybeneficial characteristics for the body as meditation does. Researchers of other relaxationtechniques disagree. [34]These experts believe that more structured techniques, such asmeditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation. The debate goes on, but one thingappears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, andthe methods themselves are not as important as getting there. One day, one method may workbest; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate. [35]Once you areaware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best for you. Some of the relaxationtechniques are meditation, self-analysis and progressive muscle relaxation. Although thesetechniques may not, in the end, produce more of a relaxation response than just sittingquietly in a chair, [35]they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for thesereasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.
