【推荐2】Hiking, that is, travelling on foot, can be a great way to spend time outdoors.     1     With enough preparation, hiking can be a safe sport in which anyone can take part.

Map out your way before setting out. Tell your friends or family where and when you will be hiking, and when you expect to return.     2     If you have a BDS (卫星导航系统), pack it, as well.

    3     Your body can only take in about 1 liter of liquid per hour, so drink 0.5 to 1 liter of some type of electrolyte(电解质) replacement drink every hour when you are hiking in the heat. Carry your water bottle in your hand and drink small amounts often. An adult should drink about 4 liters of electrolyte replacement drink for every 8 hours spent hiking in the heat.

In the case of lightning storms, stay away from tall trees and go quickly to the lowest—lying land you can find. On hot summer days, it’s necessary to bring clothing and a raincoat.     4     In fall and winter, pack warm clothing and matches in case you need to build a fire.

If you have worked out a hiking plan and told your friends or family your plan, help will be on the way as soon as they realize that you are missing. The best course of action is to stay in one position so that search groups can find you. Try to find a grassland or clearing where you may be seen from the air. A BDS is a good helper. With a BDS, your friends or family may easily know where you are.     5    

A．Water is the most important thing.

C．Going hiking with friends is even greater.

D．Take plenty of water and sun cream, as temperatures may increase fast.

E．BDS will also fixed in boats both of the sailing and rowing variety.

F．To bring a smartphone is also a good idea, but you may not have service in some areas.

G．However, basic hiking rules are necessary to ensure you have a safe trip.

【推荐3】Not having done physical exercise for some time, I found myself a little low-spirited and couldn’t study efficiently, so I decided to do some running the next day. At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm clock rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went back to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went out.

Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn’t help breathing it deeply. I stretched (伸展) my arms and legs, then started to run. I found all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branches were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What’s more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They were scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, relax.” I shouted without stopping running. “Let’s enjoy the beautiful morning together!” Then miracle (奇迹) happened. The two little creatures seemed to understand what I said. They turned back and twittered (吱吱叫) around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They twittered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to hear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life is!

Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Helen Keller wrote in her famous article Three Days to Sec, “The seeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore (忽视) the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them. They always complain that life is boring. But, I just want to say, if you live each day with appreciation of things around, you’ll find life is very charming. So, let’s enjoy life from now on.
