【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 illed 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 .

I used to like them — to be honest. We39。d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange s, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me. Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they39。re thrown in my face like TV mercials — unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities. Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you39。d find him warm, and downtoearth. Read his Facebook and you realize he39。s an unbearable, foodobsessed bore. He39。d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it. Take Andy. You won39。t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he39。s a CEO without a pany to lull. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He39。s doing well — level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he39。s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you39。ve run four panies — and this is how you spend your downtime(業(yè)余時(shí)間)? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job? Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine(甲流疫苗) will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then es Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter. In real life, I don39。t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They39。re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong. I39。m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the antivaccine lunatic(狂人)on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he39。s at a party and the wine isn39。t up to his standards?（1）What39。s Andy probably busy in doing now? A.He39。s running his pany.160
