Many people find it difficult to do any activity for pure pleasure.I"m here to tell you about one of my
favorite pleasures.It doesn"t cost a thing and takes very little time.Best of all, you can do it for pure
enjoyment.It"s walking.
There"s something about walking that"s different from jogging.When I"m jogging, I"m constantly
challenging myself to go farther or faster, sweat more, and breathe harder.But when I"m walking, I"m
taking time to go outside and put one foot in front of the other while I look around, breathe, and feel the
sun and the wind.When I walk, I"m submerging(浸没) myself in life.
On walks, I make friends with myself.That little voice in my head asks, "How are you going to finish
three major projects this week?" I answer, "Now, calm down.This is your time.No deadlines, no projects, no havetodos."
Walks alone and walks with companions each have their own pleasures.On walks with companions
, acquaintances become friends and friendships deepen.There are always memories and thoughts to share on walks.
I also enjoy walking anywhere with my children, who constantly open my eyes to new
discoveries－rolling down a hill, or finding a strange rock.Walking expands their minds and teaches them
about nature.
Years ago, when I read "Pride and Prejudice", I noticed Elizabeth Bennet walked three miles to visit
her sister.Then I learned that the Romantic poets－William Wordsworth, John Keats, and Percy Bysshe
Shelley－frequently walked for hours for creative inspiration.I might not have been able to write like these poets but I could take walks as they did, I thought.Then I became interested in the activity.
Because I walk so often, I now have a list of my favorite walking spots.One of my favorite spots is a
park near my house.The park lets me experience the cycle of the seasons at my convenience.
Where else can you appreciate the beauty in the world except on a walk? Why not take a walk and
do it for pleasure?
1. Compared with jogging, walking ________.
A. is more boring

There was room for all of us, and sleeping bags kept the night chill away.We would listen to the
sound of the river, and hear the coyotes(丛林狼) howling along the hills not far away.
Those were the cool summer nights of the mid nineties in Southern Alberta, Canada, when the fou
r children were young and we would lie on the trampoline(蹦床) in the backyard late at night, for the
sun would not set till late in July and August.We would look at the stars up above.It was a simple
painting of little white dots on a black canvas, but we would never grow tired of looking at it.As our
eyes surveyed that starry wonder we would see streaks of lights as meteors(流星) hit the atmosphere
and burn up, or we would follow the meteors"steady path across the sky till it would also disappear.
These were the times when I would tell the stories of my own childhood and teach the kids life"s
lessons that have been remembered to this day.I chuckle, as I recall the time when we heard a coyote
not far away, that I started a story about a bear sneaking (溜)up to the trampoline.The closer the bear
came (in the story )the closer the kids snuggled up to mom and I, until suddenly I let out this big daddy
growl and grabbed all the kids.They would startle and jump up and then all laugh, "Daddy, you scared
us!"
Now the children are in their mid and late teens, but they fondly remember the starry nights on that
trampoline.Recently my oldest daughter on her wedding day sang a song for her parents, entitled I"ll
always be your little girl.She wrote the music and words；it included a memory of those starry nights.
I have learned as a parent that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children as they are growing
up is the time to tell them stories, or if telling stories is not that simple, perhaps read them a story.They
can read their own books and it will benefit them greatly academically, but telling or reading them a story
will create an inseparable bond(联系) with pleasant memories such as those late summer nights in the
starry sky.

3. In this story, the writer compares the night sky to ________.

Many parents don"t love to read to their children.But there are so many professionals and PhDs doing
the opposite thing.And they really promote reading to children, which is so good for children.I have found
that this is true with my own children.
I am not sure if it is the book or the fact that you are spending quality time with them, undivided time
that they will remember for their entire life.Reading to children is one of the most bonding experiences you can have.
Children enjoy sitting on your lap while your voice flows over them.As the reader it is fun to watch
their littl e faces as they are moved with the flow of the story.They are laughing one moment and on the
next page the story has moved them to tears.As the storyteller, I am just as moved as they are；I am
caught up in the story as our emotions flow up and down.You can easily lose a whole afternoon in reading.
This is an experience that children then try to pass on to younger children, reading books to them.My
daughter was so into reading that if she couldn"t line up some neighbors"children she could be reading her
books to, she would line up her stuffed animals and read to them.Well, she also tried to teach her neighbors and teddy bears math, and "ocean science "as she called it.She would read anything she could to them.
And to my astonishment the neighbors"parents told me they really appreciated the fact that their children
were doing so much better in school.

A. introduce his own viewpoint
B. show the importance of his idea
C. please readers

C. it is easy to kill time while you are reading books to children
D. reading to children is one of the most interesting experiences
