Most of my free time， it seemed， was spent outdoors. Today， we are told， children dont spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them are glued to a screen either on a computer， tablet or a TVthey seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature. But now， 400 organisations in the UK， from playgroups to the National Health Service， are encouraging children to have some “wild time.” They want kids to swap交换 at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time mucking about outside. I think its a great idea. The simple pleasures of exploring and discovering nature help children to learn and keep fit too. Andy Simpson， who is part of the campaign（政治或商业性）活动 ， says： “An extra 30 minutes of wild time every day， for all under 12-yearolds in the UK， would be the equivalent等价物 of just three months of their childhood spent outdoors.” There is so much to do outdoors that I dont think 30 minutes a day is enough. Activities such as building dens， climbing trees， rummaging for conkers七叶树果实，马栗 and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city， they can go on adventures in the garden or the park. But I know that children often need a helping hand from mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson agrees： “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids development ， independence独立 and creativity， by giving wild time a go.” So， despite the sophisticated复杂的 world that young people grow up in now， it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “natures playground” is what mode rn children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says “we need to make more space for wild time in childrens daily routine 例行公事 ， freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.” This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe， like me， its made you think about sticking on your boots， getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. Theres no age limit on enjoying yourself！ 你记忆中的童年是什么样的？我清楚地记得小时候在我家附近野外探险、骑着自行车逛公园的情景。那时，我的大部分空闲时间好像都是在户外度过的。 今天，我们知道孩子们在户外呼吸新鲜空气的时间不足。很多孩子都紧盯着各种屏幕 不是电脑、平板电脑的屏幕，就是电视屏幕 他们就像生活在虚拟世界里一样。他们失去了与大自然的接触。 而现在，英国从幼儿园到国民健康服务等 400 个机构均鼓励孩子们应该有一些 “ 户外时间 ” ，他们希望孩子们能从看电视或者玩电脑游戏的时间里，至少拿出 30 分钟到户外闲逛或打闹嬉戏。我认为这是一个很好的主意。探索和发现大自然这种简单的快乐，对孩子们的学习和健康大有益处。参与该项倡议的安迪 辛普森说： “ 对英国所有未满 12 岁的孩子 而言，每天在户外多待 30 分钟，相当于他们的童年有三个月的时间是在户外度过的。 ” 在户外可以进行的活动那么多，我认为每天 30 分钟并不足够。像搭建巢穴、爬树、找马栗和捉迷藏等等只是孩子们可以做的其中一些活动。即使是住在城市里的孩子也可以在花园或者公园里玩探险。 但我知道孩子们常常需要父母帮他们一把，他们需要父母告诉他们可以去哪里、做什么。安迪 辛普森赞同说：“ 我们希望家长通过给孩子们一些户外时间，看到这个神奇的做法对孩子们的成长、独立性和创造力所起的作用。 ” 所以，尽管现在孩子们在 一个复杂的世界里长大，回归基本、体验 “ 大自然的乐园 ” 似乎恰恰是现代儿童所需要的。 “ 野趣项目 ” 的大卫 邦德说 “ 我们需要增加孩子们日常生活中在户外度过的时间，让这一代的儿童能够自由地去体验我们许多人视为理所当然的那些童年经历。 ” 这在你听来可能有点老套，或者，就像我一样，它会让你想再次穿上靴子，到户外重温童年。享受快乐是没有年龄限制的！ 从选项中选择一个意思合适的单词填入句子的空格处。 1.
