“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. ” is a popular saying in the United States. It is true that all of us need recreation(娱乐). We cannot work all the time if we are going to keep good health and enjoy life.

Everyone has his own way of relaxing (放松). Perhaps the most popular way is to take part in sports. There are team sports,such as basketball and football. There are also individual sports,such as swimming and running. Skating and mountain climbing are the most popular recreation for people who like to be outdoors.

Not everyone who enjoys sporting events likes to  take part  in them.  Many people  like  watching TV or listening  to them  on the radio. So many people  like some  forms of indoor recreation,such  as watching TV,singing and dancing.

It doesn’t matter we like indoor recreation or take part in outdoor sports. It is important for everyone to relax from time to time,and enjoy some forms of recreation.

 Everyone talks about the “five” senses of man. And it is true that we get our information about the outside world from our senses of sight,hearing,smell,touch and taste. Researchers tell us that the sense of sight gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies， while the other senses，the hearing，the smell，the touch，and the taste，bring into our brains information about the other 20% of what is happening. But there are two other senses that we can’t get along without,though they are seldom noticed. These are the sense of balance about our own motion，without which we would act like a drunken man，and the kinesthetic sense，which

gives us our ideas about our own motion.

 Farley worked for the Canadian government. One day,he was 1      to learn more about wolves. Do wolves kill lots of caribou (big animals) ? Do they kill people?

They gave him lots of food and clothes and guns. Then they put him on a plane and took him to 2     . The plane put him down and went away. There were no houses or people in this place.

But there were lots of animals—and lots of wolves.

People tell terrible stories about wolves. They say wolves like to kill and eat people. Farley remembered these stories,and he was 3      . He had his gun with him 4       .

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room,my 12-year-old son looked 1 at me and said, “1     love you. ” I didn’t know what to say. 2      several seconds,all I could do was to stand there and looked down at him. My first thought was that he must need my help with his homework or he was trying to  3      me for  some  news. Finally I asked, “What was that all about?” “Nothing,” he said. “My  teacher said  we should tell our

parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s 4       . ”

The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment”  and  how the other parents had reacted. “Most of the fathers had the 5      reacting as you did,” the teacher said. “When I first suggested we try this,I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. The point is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 6     . It is something all people 7      . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too bad that we usually don’t express those feelings. A boy should be able to tell his dad he loves him. ” The teacher,a middle-aged man,understands how 8      it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

When my son came to me that evening，I held on to him for an extra second. And just 9      he pulled away,I said in my deepest,most manly voice, “Hey，I love you,too. ” I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier,but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time,when one of my children said “I love you” , it would not take me a whole day to think of the right 10     .
