It is 10 in the morning,and I am travelling by raft down the Lijiang River.The sun is already burning hot even though it has not yet reached full strength,but a calm breeze cools my skin.So far the day is wonderful,but the purpose of my trip is not just to have fun: I am following in the footsteps of Xu Xiake (15871641),the famous Chinese travel writer and geographer.Though Xu was from Jiangsu,he spent more than 30 years travelling throughout the country,and greatly admired my destination today—Ox Gorge.
As we flow down the river,we are surrounded by steep hills sticking up into the sky—karsts(喀斯特).Unique among mountains,karsts were formed over thousands of years as rain drained into the acidic soil and melted the soft rock,leaving the harder rock behind.
Guangxi is full of karsts,giving it some of the most interesting and beautiful scenery in the world.Xu was one of the first people to make a careful study of Guilin’s karsts and their related cave systems.He,like many people today,found them fascinating.
Suddenly,our raft hits some rapids,and I find myself covered in water.I turn to my raftsman and we share a laugh.The water not only keeps us cool,but it is all part of the adventure.
What made someone like Xu spend years travelling thousands of kilometres away from home Perhaps it’s the same reason as mine: to explore the world and to discover new things.Yet,perhaps no one in China travelled farther or longer than Xu Xiake.At least,if anyone did,they did not write about it.
When our raft reaches Ox Gorge,it proves to be every bit as beautiful as I expected—a watery heaven on the Earth.The raft is tied up,and then I head out to explore.That afternoon,I find a cave on the river.I wade into it and the water grows shallower,until finally I am walking on dry land.Up ahead I see a light and hear laughter echoing off the cave walls.There is a large pool of mud,and a group of young people are jumping into it and swimming around.I run and join them.Soon,like my new friends,I am covered in gray mud from head to toe.After an hour of play,I head back out of the cave and take a swim in the river to get clean.And I wonder,when Xu Xiake came here nearly five hundred years ago,did he examine the mud like a scientist Or did he jump in Of course he jumped in.You know he did.

There have been many studies that show being in nature is good for your health.Walking in the woods is good for your well-being.Living near trees can help you live longer.But when you go for a walk in the woods,what is it particularly about being in nature or being outdoors that makes you feel good Is it the sights or smells or sounds A new study finds it might have something to do with the birds you hear while you have a walk.
Researchers from California Polytechnic State University analysed how much the natural sounds people hear when they’re outdoors influence well-being.They found that the chorus (合唱) of birds singing increased well-being in protected natural areas.
For the study,researchers placed 10 hidden,evenly spaced speakers (扬声器) on two parts of trails (小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado.They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds.The researchers take turns to play the birdsong for a few hours a day for a week,and then turned off the speakers for a week at a time.They interviewed hikers after they passed through the areas with the speakers.
“The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong responded to questions that showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong,” Biology Professor Clinton Francis,who led the research,says.
Hikers who heard more birdsong on the first part of the trail said they felt better.Those who heard more birdsong on the second part reported that they thought more birds lived along that part of the trail.This feeling of more birds helps make the hikers feel better.“With the chorus,we were able to show that natural sounds have a clear effect on the quality of hikers’ experiences,” says Francis.

(　　)10.What was the final step of the research
A.Recording. B.Comparing.
C.Photographing. D.Interviewing.
(　　)11.What is the best title for the text
A.Being in Nature Is Good for People’s Health
B.Walking in Forests Helps People Live Longer
C.Hearing Birdsong Is Good for People’s Health
D.Raising Birds Improves People’s Living Quality
