Reasons you should make time for the sunset
Here's why you should consider making time to watch the sunset.
1. It can slow down time.
Seriously. By witnessing the beauty of the sunset, you can slow down your perception (感知)of time. 1. Amazingly, by taking the time to look at the vast sky, we're actually empowering ourselves to regain control of the clock.
2. It can provide energy for you.
Even if you have to go back to the office after you watch that last sliver disappear below the skyline, taking a few minutes out of your day to experience some of the golden hour will be worth it. 2.Often when we feel exhausted we reach for a cup of coffee, but research suggests a better way to get energized (给予能量)is to connect with nature.
3. It will force you to put your phone down.
When we regard the experience of sunsets as special occasions, we feel the urge to document and save them——as if keeping photos of their beauty will help us remember that wonder ful feeling. 3..
4. It will inspire you.
There's a reason sunsets are a timeless and constant inspiration to poets, writers and romantics.
5. 4..
All of us are drawn to sunsets, but people in a few special places really regard the sunset as a daily opportunity to give thanks;5., Crowds gather to cheer and applaud it, reinforcing (加强)the idea that we should celebrate and be thankful for each day.
A. Nature is fuel for the soul.
B. It will help you appreciate life's gifts.
C. Do you draw inspiration from the sunset?
D. It will allow you to exercise in a healthy way.
E. Do you feel like there aren't enough hours in the day?
F. But if you experience the sunset more regularly, you'll no longer see it through a screen.
G. In places like Santorini, Greece, and Maui, Hawaii, the sunset is regarded as a nightly celebration.
I read a newspaper article about a new concept. The idea is simple, but revolutionary: combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents (住户) eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting and gardening. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a hug.
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. It’s a major problem in many societies.
That’s why inter-generation (代际的) programs are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful actions. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another. One successful scheme in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager who wants to study law.
But it isn’t only the individuals concerned who gain from inter-generational activities. The advantages to society are huge too. If older people can understand and accept the youth of today, there will be less conflict in a community. And we can use the strengths of one generation to help another. Then perhaps getting old won’t be so sad after all.
