As cities balln with grwth, access t nature fr peple living in urban areas is becming harder t find. If yu're lucky, there might be a pcket
park near where yu live, but it's unusual t find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has fund health and wellness benefits f nature fr humans, but a new study shws that wildness in urban areas is extremely
imprtant fr human well-being.

The research team fcused n a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-gers, asking them t submit a written summary nline f a
meaningful interactin they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissins, cding （编码） experiences int different
categries. Fr example, ne participant's experience f "We sat and listened t the waves at the beach fr a while" was assigned the categries "sitting
at beach" and "listening t waves."
Acrss the 320 submissins, a pattern f categries the researchers call a "nature language" began t emerge. After the cding f all submissins,
half a dzen categries were nted mst ften as imprtant t visitrs. These include encuntering wildlife, walking alng the edge f water, and
fllwing an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps peple recgnize and take part in the activities that are mst satisfying and
meaningful t them. Fr example, the experience f walking alng the edge f water might be satisfying fr a yung prfessinal n a weekend hike in
the park. Back dwntwn during a wrkday, they can enjy a mre dmestic frm f this interactin by walking alng a funtain n their lunch break.

t prtect nature s that we can interact with it, " said Peter Kahn, a senir authr f the study.

When we were finally dismissed frm the last class f the day, the students streamed ut f the classrms. It was anther bring day after schl. I
dragged my feet hme as I sighed. Yet anther uneventful day, I thught. Little did I knw that the day wuld take a turn fr the wrse.
The lift lbby (电梯间) f my flat was ld and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied ver many years. I reached my flat’s lbby,
and pressed the lift buttn and went in. Just then, Mrs Lim, my elderly neighbur, hbbled (蹒跚) in. She lked ancient with tissue paper white hair,
wearing a faded ld-fashined dress. I held the lift dr pen, flashing a friendly smile, and plitely greeted her. I asked her hw she felt that day and
pressed the buttns. She thanked me fr being s plite, then we were silent fr the rest f the ride.
The lift fell dwn increasingly fast. There were lud clanking sunds here and there while the lift grew slwer and slwer. My heart beat hard and fast
as my hands turned cld and wet with sweat. Unfrtunately, the lift came t an abrupt stp at the fifth flr. I pressed the buttns hard several times, but
it was f n help. The lights n the buttns had gne ut. It sn dawned n me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs Lim was
hysterical (歇斯底里).
“We will never get ut!” she cried with her face pale. It had becme a clurless mask. I had n time t lse. I pressed the bell in the lift
immediately. The sund was surely deafening, but what ther chice did I have? Mrs Lim burst int tears. I tried my very best t cmfrt her, telling her
that everything wuld be all right and that we needed t find ut hw t get ut safely. Mrs Lim began having truble breathing, and I immediately
helped her sit dwn and lsened her cllar.
Paragraph 1: Several minutes passed, but n help came.
