Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you39。ll have no trouble answering these questions. Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child39。s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children bee unclear。 we are numb(麻木的)to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits. The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began plaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost kneedeep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they39。d felt cold water at first. Another block to awareness is the obsession(癡迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a rubycrowned kinglet and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing. The pressures of time and destination are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant campground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what39。s around them. I asked them what they39。d seen. Oh, a few birds, they said. They seemed bent on their destinations. Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.(1)According to Paragraph 2, pared with adults, children are more .

That39。s a question many parents are asking in the wake of the college cheating scandal(丑聞)involving 38 wealthy parents around the country, including actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman. Here39。s how far I went. In the fall of 2017 my husband and I lost our jobs. We had to tell our daughter, Casey, that we couldn39。t afford to send her back to school for her junior year at Fordham University. We decided the best choice for our family would be for Casey to sit out a year. We promised that we would get her back the following year. Casey decided to spend the year volunteering in South Africa On Sept 30, 2017, we put our oldest child on a plane halfway around the world. Casey worked as a tutor teaching kids math, English and music in Johannesburg. We did get Casey back in school in time. When she returned to the campus, she studied harder. She isn39。t what she used to be. Each day is marked by gratitude because she knows what it is like not to be able to get an educat
