题目内容

  Ecopsychology is a new area of psychology(心理学).Ecopsychologists study humans and their relationships to the environment(eco).They feel that the environment is very important to our sense of well-being.In fact,they believe it iscentral to our happiness.If we are going to be happy,we needto connect more with nature.Children are born with this feeling of connection to nature.They often spend long periods of time with plants,trees,and insects.However,as we age,we often lose that sense of joy in nature.

  Over the centuries,we have become more isolated(分离的)and disconnected from nature.This has hurt society.It has made us more violent,anxious,depressed,and lonely.Peoplewho are close to nature and have good relationships with animals have respect for life.They also have a better chance of being mentally healthy adults.When we understand our bond(联系)to nature-plants and animals— we will live together better as a society.

  Being a society that is separate from nature has also hurt the environment.Vast areas of our natural world are disappearing.We are overdeveloping the earth and using its resources in an irresponsible(不负责任的)way.It's time to stop this destructive pattern.Therefore,rather than spending our days in concrete buildings and around asphalt streets,weneed to spend more time with nature.Activities such as sailing,gardening,mountain climbing,walking along a trail,orjust relaxing in the backyard can help us reconnect with thenatural world.

It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That's what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin.

  Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. He was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They expected to find out that he needed sleep of some kind. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

  The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair(摇椅) and read some news papers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness.
