In order to promote participation in outdoors exercise, our school organized an activity to climb a mountain on April 10. The majority of my class took part in the activity.
Early in the morning, having gathered outside the school gate, we head straight to the thickly-forested mountain. We set out for the top and were in high spirits the moment when we arrived at the foot of the mountain. In course of the climb, we cooperated with each other to pass the rocky area. Laughing and cheered, we eventually reached the top, which we were greeted by the bright sunshine and fresh air. Viewing from the top, the city was beautiful. Bathed in the sunshine, we entertained us with songs, dances and game.
This event is extremely beneficial and we strongly suggest that similar events are held every year!

There is one thing that can ruin vacations, make business meetings less than successful, and can cause more problems than anything else for air travelers. Jet lag!
1.The travel time is too fast for the human body to adjust easily. Long distance air travel to a new time zone disrupts (打乱) three important senses: the sense of place, the sense of time, and the sense of well-being.
Sense of place: To some degree, all locations are geographically and even chemically different from one another. Humans, like all living things, have a strong sense of place. 2.
Sense of time: We all also have a natural sense of time that is linked to our sense of place. Our bodies function on a program that takes about a day to run.3.This is why travel to a distant time zone makes us miss the usual hometown patterns of something as simple as the times of sunrise and sunset.
Sense of well-being: We have a sense of well-being when we are healthy and happy. 4.That is why flying to a new environment and time zone often causes a disruption in our sense of well-being.
For thousands of years, people didn’t experience disruption in their sense of time and place because there were no rapid means of transportation.5. However, although we can travel by plane now, our bodies have not yet adapted to long-distance air travel. That is why we suffer the jet lag.
A.The invention of the airplane changed all this.
B.We can make the effort to overcome the jet lag.
C.They sense the different qualities of dawn, noon, and midnight.
D.Jet lag results from traveling a long distance to a new zone.
E.This sense is strongly connected to our senses of place and time.
F.It took weeks, months, years, or even generations to travel great distances.
G.This makes people homesick for familiar surroundings and wish for their own bed
