3 . Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.
Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”
Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth.
Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.
Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature.

4 . After finals, I was ready to move out. It wasn’t too hard for me, but for a lot of my friends, it was a big event. After packing my suitcase and helping my friends move, it was time to say goodbye. I had reached the end of my first year in the university!
A friend from Shanghai who is studying in Washington D. C. came to visit, so my brother and I took him sightseeing. But these were not this month’s highlights. The high point was coming back home, a moment I’d been expecting since the day I left.
I arrived home early on the morning of May 15th. When I saw my parents, I gave them a big hug and kiss. Being at home with my parents, standing on this land, and feeling the humid and hot air, I knew I was home. The first thing I did was to go to Mei Mei for a big breakfast. It was so much better than the school cafeteria! Mei Mei was just a start. There are so many foods I have to eat and so many friends I want to see.
The hot air is burning my face and there is sweat on my skin. I love this feeling. This is where I belong.
