七、阅读与回答问题
Dear friends,
Last month, we started the “Nature and Me” activity. What did you see and do during your time in nature? And how did you feel? Please share your stories.
Steve
8:15 p.m. 31 May
I disliked hiking in the past, but now I enjoy it. My father and I had a hiking trip on the MacLehose Trail in Hong Kong. The journey was harder than I expected. My legs started burning after just 30 minutes. But as we climbed higher, the amazing views—green hills, golden beaches and endless ocean—seemed under my feet. As an ancient Chinese poem puts it, “When you climb to the top, all other mountains seem small.” I felt a sense of achievement. Every drop of sweat counts!
Lan

“I feel free and peaceful.” This was my answer to my friend when she asked me how I felt after an afternoon walk. As we walked through the park, I noticed all those fallen leaves with different shapes and colours lying on the ground. I picked some up and made them into a picture.
You know what they say, “The best things in life are free.” That’s so true. By walking, I got good exercise. By collecting these little treasures, I started paying attention to all the small things around me that I used to miss. It was like a way to get away from what was troubling me.

During the holiday, my family and I went to Crystal Waterfall. It was amazing! I stood near the falls, hearing the rush of water and feeling the cool mist (水雾). The sound of the water was actually super relaxing. It felt like all my tiredness and worries were being washed away.
Back home, I even downloaded the recordings of waterfalls online. They can help me sleep better!
61. How did Steve feel after he stood at the top of the mountain?
62. What did Lan pick up during the afternoon walk?
63. Why did Janet download the recordings of waterfalls online after returning home?
64. What have the three people learnt in common from their trips?
65. What do you think of their experiences and why? Choose one to reply.（请自拟一句话作答）

Hi, Steve. I agree with you! Hiking is a great way to challenge ourselves while enjoying the beauty of nature. Every step forward makes us stronger and more confident in life. Lan, I understand how you felt. When I feel bad, the beauty of nature helps me relax. However, you should focus on the sunny side of life. Don't think too much. Hey, Janet. Thanks for sharing, but I don't agree. Waterfalls are too noisy, and I think the sound would make me uncomfortable. I prefer to relax in quiet places.(言之有理即可)
