Recently, many Chinese young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. 12 It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis (亲生命假说)”. It was
23、pointed out by US scientist Edward Wilson in 1984. He said that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans love for nature is “in our DNA”. 13 Its also one of the reasons why people love cute pets.Some studies have looked into why tree-hugging can help with our health. A study

Both his father and uncle lost their sight due to the same disease, so Zhang knew exactly what life wo
35、uld be like for blind people from an early age. He lost hope and wanted to die. But 28 (lucky), he was saved by his wife. “I felt so 29 (hope) then. But my wife was always there and encouraged me. Without her by my side, I couldnt have pulled myself together,” Zhang recalled.In 2015, by accident, he
36、 heard of the blind American mountaineer Weihenmayer, who climbed Qomolangma. This gave him the idea of having 30 try, too. He then started to climb the mountains together with his guide.

40、students from the US went on an education and cultural exchange in China. For Micheal, a 15-year old 10th grader, this was his first time going abroad. While in Beijing, Micheal bravely tried douzhi, a fermented (发酵的) bean juice. It is a challenge even for locals. However, he finished three bowls in
41、 a row. Besides Chinese food, Micheal also likes Chinese people because he thinks they are welcoming and open-minded.“I tried out table tennis after classes ended, and the Chinese students played like professionals,” he said. “In the United Sates, students usually do sports through clubs and sports
42、team. Sports are more for fun here.”The learning was two-sided.
