Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always stressed to me, "You should have objectives and capacity like the mountain."
This has largely influenced my life. Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn't have had enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I believe mountaineering is really beneficial. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep contemplation as well as develop my patience. I loved scaling mountains, to get away from the noise and pollution of the city, and breathe the fresh air.
One time we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the fresh air, the birds' singing, and the beautiful dances of butterflies; but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. At that moment, I wanted to quit climbing. Actually, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, "Spring is a season when everything comes to life again. The mountain and fields where we are standing are embroidered with flowers and trees. You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can't see it before you reach the top. You can always enjoy the scenes of many waterfalls and countless peaks and valleys at the top of the mountain, but you can't when you are halfway up. Only there at the top, can you embrace all of those things, just like in life."
At that time, I was too young to understand his thoughts, but after that, I got new hope and confidence. Finally, I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there, I could see the whole of the sky, which was as clear as crystal.
“你总能在峰顶处看到美丽的天空，但在抵达峰顶前你是看不到的。”
每当太阳快下山时，我和父亲总会去爬我家附近的那座山。我们经常在爬山时聊起许多话题。父亲的经验之谈，让我受益匪浅。他总是鼓励我：“你要有山一般坚定的目标和宽阔的胸怀。”
这些话对我的人生产生了深刻的影响。父亲总是很忙，要不是我们都喜欢爬山，我们不可能有很多时间待在一起。我坚信爬山的确很有好处——它让我有了与父亲畅谈和独自沉思的时间，同时也培养了我的耐性。我爱爬山，它可以使我远离城市的嘈杂和污染，呼吸新鲜的空气。
一次，我们爬一座很高的山。对我来说，那简直是一个巨大的挑战，因为那时我只有10岁。开始的几个小时，我还享受着清新的空气，聆听着鸟儿的欢叫，欣赏着蝴蝶的翩翩起舞。慢慢地，我的双腿酸疼起来。在那个时刻，我非常讨厌爬山，甚至想放弃。这时父亲对我说：“春天是万物复苏的季节。此刻，山峦和田野被鲜花和树木装扮。你总能在峰顶处看到美丽的天空，但在抵达峰顶前你是看不到的。在山顶，你总能欣赏到众多瀑布、山峰和峡谷的美景，但这一切在半山腰却看不到。只有在山顶，你才有幸饱览这一切，如同生活中一样。”
那时，我还小，无法理解他的话，但这些话使我充满了希望和信心。我终于爬到了顶峰。放眼望去，我看见整个天空如水晶般澄澈。
给生命一个高度，便可以看到别样的风景。在现实中，大部分人仅仅满足于平坦、容易到达之处的风景，并错误地认为这就是美的极致，而事实上，最瑰丽的奇景永远身在幽深险怪之处，只有少数勇者可以到达。

锻炼身体的真正意义
Exercise

A state of physical and mental health allows you to take part in exercise comfortably and enjoyably so that it doesn't hurt, so that you can look forward to it, and feel good afterwards.
If you are feeling down, exercise may help pick you up. Although researchers disagree on this issue, one review of past studies found that long-term exercise, especially when it includes long-lasting, strenuous training sessions , has about as much of an effect on depression as psychotherapy.
Working out helps you deal with stress in your job, relationships or any area of life? Possibly because exercise is a form of stress itself and helps condition your body to deal with it. When Australian researchers compared people who did 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week to those who practiced progressive relaxation techniques, they found that the former group responded better to acute stress and had lower blood pressure.
Even a little exercise can make you think less anxiously. Studies have shown that any amount of exercise, from a brisk 10 minute walk to an intense aerobics or weightlifting session seems to decrease feelings of anxiety.
Working out regularly may make you smarter now and lessen the possibility that you'll lose brain function as you age. According to a recent animal study at the University of Illinois, exercise can actually help the brain develop new cells.
In several studies, regular weight training or aerobic exercise was shown to improve the quality and duration of sleep. Naturally, this can make you less fatigued and be able to function better during the day.
Like meditation, hobbies or any other leisure activity, exercise gives your mind a needed break from everyday thoughts, responsibilities and commitments.
Finally, there's one more reason to keep exercising. When you work out regularly, your body simply functions better—you are better, healthier and less likely to suffer painful physical conditions. And that just plain feels good.
身心健康能够让人们轻松愉快地参加体育锻炼，而不会感到身体不适。人们因此乐于锻炼，锻炼之后觉得心情舒畅，感觉良好。
当你感到沮丧时，锻炼能使你重新振作。对此，尽管科研人员意见不一，但一份回顾性的研究表明：长期的体育锻炼，尤其是长时间、高强度的训练，治疗抑郁症的效果几乎与心理治疗法无异。
锻炼能缓解工作、人际关系，甚至生活当中方方面面的压力，其原因也许在于锻炼本身就很紧张，它可以使身体灵活地应付压力。澳大利亚研究人员对参与研究的两组人的身体状况进行了比较，其中一组人做有氧健身操，每次30分钟，每周3次；另一组进行渐进式放松锻炼。他们发现：前一组人能更好地应对突如其来的压力，血压也会低一些。
即使少量锻炼也能减轻人的焦虑感。研究表明：锻炼，无论其量大小，从10分钟的健步行走到剧烈的有氧运动或举重，似乎都能减少焦虑感。
有规律地锻炼能让你变得更聪颖，还可以降低随年龄增长大脑功能退化的可能性。伊利诺伊大学最近的一项动物实验表明：锻炼其实有助于大脑新细胞的产生。
