2 . In some countries, many families are choosing camping as an affordable way to vacation due to the cost-of-living crisis (危机).     1     Here are several tips to help make your first camping trip a success.

Camping needs careful planning. Making a detailed list of what to bring ensures nothing important is forgotten. It is advised to pack light and easy-to-set-up tents (帐篷). It’s also important to choose equipment suitable for the season. For families, bringing comfort items like favorite books or toys can make the new environment more welcoming for kids.     2     Other necessaries like wet wipes (湿巾) are must-haves.

Camping is more than just setting up a tent.     3     Group camping trips can simplify things, especially when it comes to meals. Sharing meal responsibilities with other families not only reduces the load but also improves the shared experience. Choosing simple and easy-to-prepare foods helps too.

    4     Activities like treasure hunts, campfire stories can turn camping into an adventure. Nature itself offers endless enjoyment, from bird watching to plant recognizing. Moreover, camping is also an opportunity to teach kids valuable life skills and safety lessons. From cooking over a campfire to learning about nature, these experiences are both educational and enjoyable.

4 . Wild camping is simply camping outside of a developed or regular campsite. Camping at a music festival, in your backyard, or at a developed campground (营地) is just regular old camping.     1     You don’t have to pay a fee or reserve a spot in advance.

    2     For example, when you set up a tent at a developed campground, you will usually stay in the same place for a few days. On the other hand, wild camping allows one to spend most of the day exploring the wilderness before they put up their wild camping tent for the night and move on in the morning.

There are many mental and physical benefits of spending time in nature. Modern-day life can be stressful, so many people head out into the wild for relief.     3     Also, you can enjoy a sense of primitiveness that regular camping can’t give you. It’s a cheerful way to tackle multi-day hikes in remote areas, allowing one to spend nights under the stars in breathtaking locations.

Wild camping generally requires checking if you can legally camp at a particular place and in some cases, getting permission to do so. Leaving no trace is essential. Take what you bring with you when you depart.     4    

Most safety problems about wild camping arise from not dressing up and preparing properly for camping in the wild.     5     Additionally, ensure someone knows where you are wild camping and when you will return.

A．Although simple, this is the hardest thing to do.

B．There are some things to pack when you are camping in the wild.

C．Take some warm clothes and check the weather forecast before going.

D．Wild camping, on the other hand, is camping near enough anywhere else.

E．This means leaving no unwanted equipment, rubbish or anything else behind.

F．Wild camping allows you to take in the great outdoors, free from the pressure.

G．The difference between wild and plain old camping also lies in how you approach it.

Eat healthfully

A garden can make the freshest and healthiest foods available. And the types of foods can have a great impact on your mental health.     3    .

Practice acceptance

Most suffering comes from trying to control things that you can’t. The more you can accept the limits of your control in your life, the more peace of mind you can find — and gardening is a great way to practice.     4    . You just bring your best efforts to what you can control, and let go of the rest.

Develop a growth mindset (思维模式)

10 . China has seen a boom in glamping, a combination of “glamorous (迷人的)” and “camping”, since 2020.

Camping, in earlier years, was mostly for those exploring the rough outdoors. The equipment they used was more for survival than for enjoyment. The image of camping thus was a pretty tough one.

Urban explorers, in recent years, have turned their sights to camping as they grew tired of hotel-stay travel style. The views of tents in a grassland or by a river soon attracted growing public interest in camping. Facilities that allow people to get close to nature while still able to enjoy the comforts of modern luxury have given wings to glamping.

There are many glamping grounds where facilities are ready to use. People just need to buy a ticket to get in and don’t have to buy any further equipment. It is suitable for new campers who want to get some experience of spending time outdoors.

Zhang Zheming, a photographer in Beijing, got his first taste of glamping in June2019 at a campground in suburban Beijing. It was a very spacious site and campers needed to bring their own kits (装备).

Zhang and his wife brought their 4-year-old son with them. As they didn’t have any experience in picking the right equipment, they didn’t prepare the canopy (遮阳篷), a camping must to protect oneself from strong sunlight. But this didn’t affect their first experience.

“In the past, my wife and I only chose to stay at hotels while traveling,” he said. “We are very happy to have discovered glamping and it is also a new way of socializing. My son used to be a shy boy, but now he gets along quite well with other people.”

Zhang is also surprised to see how popular glamping has become. The first time he went there in 2019, only 500 people joined in. But when he went there for the second time in 2020, he saw over 5,000 people.

1. What can we infer about glamping?

A．It’s tough and adventurous.	B．It’s comfortable and attractive.
C．It’s a kind of field survival training.	D．It has changed the hotel-stay travel style.

2. What should one do to go glamping for the first time?

A．Get some camping experience.	B．Buy some necessary equipment.
C．Buy a ticket to the glamping ground.	D．Get some knowledge of nature exploration.

3. What problem did the Zhangs meet on the first glamping trip?

A．They forgot to bring their own food.	B．They were exposed to strong sunlight.
C．They failed to take good care of their kid.	D．They had to stay for a long time in the hotel.

4. How does Zhang’s son benefit from the glamping?

A．He has learned to take photos.	B．He has improved his camping skills.
C．He has made friends with a shy boy.	D．He has become more outgoing and active.
