【推荐3】Derived from the words ‘glamorous’(迷人的) and ‘camping’, glamping is an outdoor escape that combines the closeness to nature associated with camping with the luxury and convenience of proper self-provided accommodation. Though associated with luxury, glamping varies greatly. Some locations may offer every item you could ever need, along with special features like hot tubs, saunas, and more, while other glamping options will be limited to far more fundamental accommodation.
Whatever the type of accommodation, glamping should have a genuine connection to the outdoors, and give guests the chance not only to enjoy comforts but also to run wild, climb trees, splash in rivers，star-gaze and have the sort of experiences that we associate with camping. Glamping has a massive appeal to almost every type of traveler. It gives you the chance to really immerse yourself in a location and step directly from your door into your surroundings.
During the October, 2020, online searches for “glamping” surged 400 percent year-on-year. Data from one popular lifestyle platform showed that glamping-related posts increased 271 percent year-on-year, while views of such posts surged 170 percent year-on-year. Between Jan.1 and May 31 this year, glamping searches were 428 percent higher than that in the same period of last year. With the popularity of glamping, “glamping gear” , “campsite recommendations” and “glamping photos” become hot topics on the website.
Lyu, working in one school of Tourism Sciences, said: “Currently, camping, especially new-type camping, which is luggage-free, is very popular among young consumers. The new-type, high-end glamping is expected to become an important, rising form of leisure activity in the suburbs.” Lyu said the popularity of glamping is partly because the pandemic has added to people’s preference for open spaces. Besides, young people, who are a major consumption group, are the main users of social media and content platforms.

【推荐3】The recent widespread interest in all branches of psychology has accustomed us to accepting an idea which,when first offered,seemed laughable:We all,at some level,spend most of the time on reverie(幻想）。We dream either consciously or unconsciously,awake or asleep,of a situation in which we feel we should be happier than we are in real life.Occasionally some childish ideas of happiness or success break out in to confuse or prevent us from living an adult life.Sometimes the dream is refusing to leave the safe shelter of the nursery,where all wants were met as soon as felt,where warmth and food and love were given freely and unearned.As Emerson wrote,"We do not believe there is any force in today to match or recreate that beautiful yesterday.We linger in(徘徊）the ruins of the old tent where once we had bread and shelter."To some extent this is true of all of us,but less true of the happy and successful adult than of others.
At other times,funnily enough,the life-wasting reverie is about success:The mild man is Napoleon or the ugly woman is a charming singer.If reality never broke in upon such reverie,the dreamer might be happier than if he were to find himself in a position to realize some part of it.Such reverie is in itself compensation for a life of dull routine.But,the world being what it is,the dreamer must live,for part of his time at least,in the cold atmosphere of fact.This is no Land of Cockaigne:Roast 1t pigs do not run about crying,"Eat me!"Fruit does not fall from the trees into our mouths..
The deeply rooted dreamer will struggle only just as much as he needs,and no more.He will do anything half-heartedly to get his bread and butter.Then,when his daily task is over,he will be hack to his dreams again,whether he realizes it or not. He succeeds at only one thing:in clearing away a little space,gaining each day a few hours of free time,for just one purpose-to go on wasting his life.But his
dream is happy.It is,for him,a true compensation for his failure in every other relation,and so he continues in it.Yet,since after all happiness is the true goal,he believes that the smallest success in reverie brings with it more happiness.
However,it is important to remember that failure is real,for otherwise we will not prepare ourselves to fight it.
