Lesson58 It's Time to Breathe Fresh Air
Golden sunshine and gentle breeze means the arrival of autumn, the most beautiful season of a year. This is a great time to go outside and have fun. Go to a valley to see red maple trees, go and pick fruit in an orchard or find an open field to fly your kite in.
However, for many high school students, these great activities may be just a dream. With plenty of work to do, they spend all their hours indoors, struggling for a high mark in their exams. Of course, study is one of the most important things for teenagers. Life is definitely much more than that.
Going out and enjoying the beautiful countryside often helps our creativity in our work. Chinese craftsman Lu Ban invented a saw to help woodworkers. But if he hadn't walked outside, he would not have been inspired by a kind of toothed grass. We could also suppose if Newton hadn't rested under that apple tree, he wouldn't have been hit by an apple, and his classic theories would not have come out. Going out is not only a break from work, but a chance to enrich life experience. So come on, give your brain a good rest. Step out of the books and get your bag ready for an autumn outing. You will get much more knowledge out of the exciting journey.

金色的阳光、阵阵的微风是秋天的使者。秋天是一年中最美的季节,是外出游玩的好时光。去山谷看看红叶,去果园采摘水果或者去开阔的田野里放风筝。
然而。对许多高中生来说,这些活动可能只是个梦。有那么多功课要做,他们只能整天待在室内,为了考高分而挣扎。当然,学习对于十几岁的年轻人来说是最重要的事之一。但是,生活不仅仅只是学习。
出去享受一下美丽的田园风光可以帮助我们在工作中更有创造力。中国工匠鲁班发明了木工使用的锯子。但是如果他不走出家门,他就不能受到一种锯齿状的草的启发。我们还可以假设如果牛顿没有在苹果树下休息,他就不可能被苹果打中,也就没有经典理论的诞生。出去走走不仅是工作之余的放松,也是丰富人生经验的机会。所以,出来走走吧,让大脑好好休息一下。走出书本,整理行囊去秋游吧,你将会从精彩的旅行中获得更多的知识。 |
