Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they don't run the streets. Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river.

But despite this, our children are growing up nature?deprived(剥夺). I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.

The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.

ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.

The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

We need the wild world. It is essential to our well?being, our health and our happiness.

1.According to the author, people enjoy ________ to seek nature.

A．jogging on the street

B．sitting in the garden

C．shopping in the supermarket

D．running in the gym

2.From the second paragraph, we can see that ________.

A．adults deprive the children of their rights to approach nature

B．climbing trees will certainly do good to the children

C．children probably spend less time in nature nowadays

D．children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction

3.In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?

A．Children with ADHD can be cured.

B．A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.

C．Problems with crime and violent behaviour will easily be solved.

D．Children's performance at school is greatly improved.

4.What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Access to nature improves our life.

B．Nature treats children for ADHD.

C．Getting close to nature reduces crime.

D．Man can't live without natural areas.

It was a Friday. As usual, the office became busier and busier. Orders to buy and sell came and went like birds. It was in the stock market, the world of money that Mr.Robert,the stockbroker, worked faster and faster. There was no room in it for the world of human feelings or the world of nature.

Near lunchtime, everything quieted down.Mr.Robert stood by his desk with his hands full of letters.

“Why ...what are you talking about?” cried the young lady.She stood up and looked at him strangely. “Don’t you understand?” Mr. Robert asked quickly. “I want you to marry me now.”

Miss Angelia acted very strangely. At first she seemed surprised. Then she began to cry. But then she smiled through her tears like the sun through rain. She put her arms around his neck. “But don’t you remember, darling?” she said .”We were married yesterday evening at 8:00, in the little church around the corner.”

After travelling many times with my family members, I went alone to Italy for a long weekend. I traveled by a train and checked into my hotel before exploring the beautiful town. I went out for dinner alone, that meant I could watch people and took in the atmosphere. The next day I went to Lake Garda and took some lovely picture. I then read a book and sat under the sun for a few hours! I had a really amazed time. I think the best thing about traveling alone is you can be selfish and do exactly what you want to. You are in control of your day and fun, but my advice is to take the opportunity to travelling alone. As long as you stay safely, you will have a wonderful time!
