What’s your feeling when you see butterflies dancing slowly and lightly in the wind? Whether you love researching the outdoors or watching far away, getting close to nature can keep your mind away from your worries and make you feel relaxed. What is nature?Nature means the world around us that is not man-made, including birds, mountains, trees, the sea and the stars. It’s a force and can control things like weather. We can find nature wherever we are and wherever we go—beaches, gardens, parks, rivers, and even unexpected places like cracks(裂缝) in the stones. Why does nature make us feel good?Spending time in nature makes our lives peaceful, joyful and wonderful. It takes us outdoors, gets us active and lets us care more about the environment. Even a little gift of nature can make us feel free and hopeful, such as breathing in fresh air, listening to the wind in the trees or standing at a mountain. Ralphie, who is 10, likes being close to nature on a bike with his family. He says, “It makes us feel happy and takes our mind off things because we have to pay attention. We are away from traffic and we hear more birdsong and see more wild animals.”How can we feel closer to nature?Feeling closer to nature is easy. We can build a connection with nature wherever we are using our senses. Try listening closely to birdsong, smelling flowers and feeling sand between our fingers. Paint a picture and take photos of the natural places that we like best. They may help us feel closer to the natural world. It’s important to try and connect with nature, notice its beauty and how it makes us feel. B）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66—75的相应位置上。Once there was a poor old woman.

Birds need to see colours when they fly because they need to find places to land（着陆）.”可知，鸟需要看到颜色，因为它们飞行的时候，需要找到地方着陆，所以颜色能够帮助它们知道那个地方有多远，故选B。17．句意：但对于其他一些动物，比如狼，世界看起来就像一张黑白照片。other其他的，形容词；another另一个；others其他人或物，代词；the other两者中的另一个。此处说的是除了鸟以外其他的动物，作定语修饰animals，故选A。18．句意：狼主要通过听来寻找食物。shouting喊叫；listening听；eating吃；moving移动。根据下文“They can hear…when the animals they hunt move.”可知，狼捕杀动物的时候，能够听到猎物的移动，所以它们是靠敏锐的听觉来寻找食物，故选B。19．句意：当它们捕猎的动物移动时，它们能清楚地听到。slow慢的，形容词；slowly慢地，副词；clear清楚的，形容词；clearly清楚地，副词。这个空是来修饰动词hear的，应该用副词，应该是听得清楚，故选D。20．句意：例如，一只兔子会停止移动，当它发现有危险的东西。dangerous危险的；safe安全的；slow慢的；fast快的。根据上下文“They can hear…when the animals they hunt move. But other animals seem to know this.
