From the highest peaks to the deepest caves, we have always wanted to discover what lies beyond our familiar world. But why do we feel this strong need to explore nature? One reason is our natural curiosity. As humans, we are born to ask “why” and “how”. Nature is like a big book full of secrets, and we want to turn every page. When we explore a new forest or a remote mountain, we are satisfying our desire to learn and understand the world around us. For example, when scientists study plants in the rainforest, they not only learn about the plants themselves but also how they work with other living things to keep the ecosystem balanced. Another reason is the joy of discovery. There’s nothing quite like the excitement of finding something new—a rare flower, a hidden waterfall, or a group of animals you’ve never seen before. This joy makes us feel alive and connected to the world. It also helps us forget our worries and stress, even if it’s just for a little while. Exploring nature also teaches us important lessons. It shows us how strong and beautiful nature is, but it also reminds us how fragile it can be. When we see the damage caused by pollution or deforestation, we learn to value and protect our planet. This awareness helps us become better people and better stewards of the earth. In short, exploring nature is part of being human. It satisfies our curiosity, brings us joy, and teaches us to care for our world. So next time you have a chance, step outside and answer the call of nature—you won’t regret it. 1．Why do humans have a strong desire to explore nature? A．Because nature is easy to explore. B．Because of their natural curiosity. C．Because they want to escape from their studies. D．Because nature can provide them with food. 2．What can we learn from exploring nature? A．How to make more money. B．How to live a comfortable life. C．The importance of protecting the earth. D．The history of human beings. 3．What does the underlined word “fragile” probably mean? A．easy to be hurt B．very strong C．quite large D．hard to find 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Exploring nature is only for scientists. B．People can’t get any joy from exploring nature. C．Exploring nature helps people reduce stress. D．Nature is not affected by human activities. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The History of Exploring Nature B．The Dangers of Exploring Nature C．Why We Explore Nature D．How to Explore Nature 二、短语填空 find out；throw away；set up；in general；instead of；run out of；because of；as a result；cut down；on purpose 6. _____ people are paying more attention to environmental protection today. 7.
