Question

【题目】 We live in a fast-paced(快节奏的), technology-packed world where we spend most of our time indoors playing computer games or using social media(媒体). But do you remember when you spent most of your time outside, running, playing, and laughing with your friends?

Leaving your tech behind may seem difficult, but if you lose yourself in nature, you’ll probably forget all about it. Scientist Albert Einstein once said, “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

In the US, June is Great Outdoors Month. They want to get more kids outside to have active fun once again. Former(前任) US President Barack Obama wrote in a paper declaring(宣告) the day in 2012, “Nature offers each of us the chance to get active, discover something, and make our relationships with family and friends strong.”

The US Union Creek Resort website noted, “We all know how fast life can be, so it’s never too soon or too late to create happy memories that we will cherish and share forever.”

Besides making us feel happy, science supports the idea that outdoor activities can cut down stress. “Fresh air and sunlight have the largest advantages,” wrote Susanne Preston, a mental health expert at South University, US. “With increased exposure(暴露) to natural sunlight, incidents of seasonal affective disorder(季节性情绪失调) fall and the vitamin D in people’s skin helps to relax their moods(心情).”

What could be a better way to help out with daily stress than to enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors?
