英語文化隨身帶 本文檔格式為 WORD,感謝你的閱讀。 “ 英語文化隨身帶 ” 是一個英國電臺節(jié)目，文章短小精悍，內(nèi)容包羅萬象。將英語文化裝進(jìn)口袋里，利用閑散的時間隨身翻閱，英語學(xué)習(xí)者可以在潛移默化中了解當(dāng)代英語世界的生活和文化。 學(xué)習(xí)壓力大、城市空間狹小，加上電子游戲的誘惑，導(dǎo)致越來越少孩子到戶外運(yùn)動，這是我們不希望看到的，運(yùn)動少帶來的害處不必多說。這個春天，就讓我們行動起來，不要再盯著你的電腦啦！ What do you remember about your childhood？ I have good memories of exploring the fields near my house and riding my bike around the park. Most of my free time， it seemed， was spent outdoors. Today， we are told， children dont spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them are glued to a screen either on a computer， tablet or a TVthey seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature. But now， 400 organisations in the UK， from playgroups to the National Health Service， are encouraging children to have some “wild time.” They want kids to swap交換 at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time mucking about outside. I think its a great idea. The simple pleasures of exploring and discovering nature help children to learn and keep fit too. Andy Simpson， who is part of the campaign（政治或商業(yè)性）活動 ， says： “An extra 30 minutes of wild time every day， for all under 12-yearolds in the UK， would be the equivalent等價物 of just three months of their childhood spent outdoors.” There is so much to do outdoors that I dont think 30 minutes a day is enough. Activities such as building dens， climbing trees， rummaging for conkers七葉樹果實(shí)，馬栗 and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city， they can go on adventures in the garden or the park. But I know that children often need a helping hand from mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson agrees： “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids development ， independence獨(dú)立 and creativity， by giving wild time a go.” So， despite the sophisticated復(fù)雜的 world that young people grow up in now， it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “natures playground” is what mode rn children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says “we need to make more space for wild time in childrens daily routine 例行公事 ， freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.” This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe， like me， its made you think about sticking on your boots， getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. Theres no age limit on enjoying yourself！ 你記憶中的童年是什么樣的？我清楚地記得小時候在我家附近野外探險、騎著自行車逛公園的情景。那時，我的大部分空閑時間好像都是在戶外度過的。 今天，我們知道孩子們在戶外呼吸新鮮空氣的時間不足。很多孩子都緊盯著各種屏幕 不是電腦、平板電腦的屏幕，就是電視屏幕 他們就像生活在虛擬世界里一樣。他們失去了與大自然的接觸。 而現(xiàn)在，英國從幼兒園到國民健康服務(wù)等 400 個機(jī)構(gòu)均鼓勵孩子們應(yīng)該有一些 “ 戶外時間 ” ，他們希望孩子們能從看電視或者玩電腦游戲的時間里，至少拿出 30 分鐘到戶外閑逛或打鬧嬉戲。我認(rèn)為這是一個很好的主意。探索和發(fā)現(xiàn)大自然這種簡單的快樂，對孩子們的學(xué)習(xí)和健康大有益處。參與該項倡議的安迪 辛普森說： “ 對英國所有未滿 12 歲的孩子 而言，每天在戶外多待 30 分鐘，相當(dāng)于他們的童年有三個月的時間是在戶外度過的。 ” 在戶外可以進(jìn)行的活動那么多，我認(rèn)為每天 30 分鐘并不足夠。像搭建巢穴、爬樹、找馬栗和捉迷藏等等只是孩子們可以做的其中一些活動。即使是住在城市里的孩子也可以在花園或者公園里玩探險。 但我知道孩子們常常需要父母幫他們一把，他們需要父母告訴他們可以去哪里、做什么。安迪 辛普森贊同說：“ 我們希望家長通過給孩子們一些戶外時間，看到這個神奇的做法對孩子們的成長、獨(dú)立性和創(chuàng)造力所起的作用。 ” 所以，盡管現(xiàn)在孩子們在 一個復(fù)雜的世界里長大，回歸基本、體驗(yàn) “ 大自然的樂園 ” 似乎恰恰是現(xiàn)代兒童所需要的。 “ 野趣項目 ” 的大衛(wèi) 邦德說 “ 我們需要增加孩子們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪性趹敉舛冗^的時間，讓這一代的兒童能夠自由地去體驗(yàn)我們許多人視為理所當(dāng)然的那些童年經(jīng)歷。 ” 這在你聽來可能有點(diǎn)老套，或者，就像我一樣，它會讓你想再次穿上靴子，到戶外重溫童年。享受快樂是沒有年齡限制的！ 從選項中選擇一個意思合適的單詞填入句子的空格處。 1.
