8.We human beings need to stay in touch with nature-many studies show how much better people feel when in sight to trees.Yet even more importantly,nature itself needs us to stay in touch.Many politicians and scientists have told us that we can"conquer(征服)"nature,but in reality nature will always be beyond our control-we do have the power to destroy it.The fate of all the animals and their habitats depends largely on our attitude towards them.Whether or not we ourselves survive depends on how well we look after the rest.For our sake as well as theirs,we need to consider it seriously.But how can we give a damn if we spend our lives indoors?Born South London at the end of the Second World War,at least I knew what a sparrow was (they're rare now) and you couldn't put a spade into our tiny garden without cutting a worm in half.We knew,too,that milk comes from cows and that old men can grow amazing carrots on poor land.Ultra-urban (极度城市化)we may have been,but at least we were in touch.
Now we have a generation who frankly are not.So how can they care if the countryside is sold off to the highest bidders,and used to park helicopters,and our crops come courtesy of Monsanto and our livestock lives in factories?They will know no other way.
But if we settle for the ultra-urban life,if we allow all wilderness to be compromised and hand our farming over to industrial chemists then,quite simply,the world will fall apart-as it is doing already.We have to rethink what agriculture is really for,and why,and why conservation matters-to us,as well as to other creatures.Changes of strategy begin with attitude and attitude begins with awareness.

A.Technology will help humans control nature completely.
