英语试题 02-15
To stay safe during the COVID-19, we have had to sacrifice many things we enjoy, including physical contact with others. Gone are handshakes, kisses and hugs. Research has shown that humans need physical touch to stay mentally and physically healthy. Without it, many become lonely, sad and even sick. So, if you feel you need a hug, we know something you can safely put your arms around and hold close ： A tree!
Tree hugging may sound a little strange. But humans have practiced forms of nature therapy for years. The Japanese practice of shinrin-Yoko is an example. Shinrin means forest in Japanese, and yoku is the Japanese word for bath. But no soap or water is needed for shinrin-yoku. All that nature bathing requires is spending time in nature ： listening to its sounds, breathing in its scent, connecting to its life force.
Recently, Israel has been promoting tree hugging on social media. The country's nature and parks agency is behind the public health campaign. Orit Steinfeld is marketing director for Israel's Apollonia National Park. "In this unpleasant period, she said, we recommend to people around the world to go out to nature, take a deep breath, hug a tree, express your love and get love. ”
Israel's tree - hugging campaign is not the first one. Iceland's Forest Service launched a similar effort in April. They advised everyone in the country to hug a tree for at least five minutes every day. The story on Iceland's tree-hugging campaign was also reported on TreeHugger. com.
