正文一、课文原文The pace of modern life is so fast that many people find it difficult to keep up with their work. Leisure time is used for hurrying to the cinema or watching television, and even young children are made to “prepare” for a world of fierce competition. The pace of life today means that few people can stop and look around them. If they did, they would often find beauty and interest in the world around them. Modern life is so self-centered that people seldom realize just how much they miss. They are so busy trying to make money, compete with their neighbors, and stay ahead of fashion that they forget the pure joy of living.There seems to be little time for the appreciation of nature in our modern cities. Few of us can spare the time to go for a walk in the country, or to sit for an hour or two in a quiet place enjoying the beauty of a landscape. We are sometimes so preoccupied with what we are doing or what we must do in the future that we forget the pleasure of the present.Perhaps we all need reminding that we can all afford to spend a few minutes each day observing the beauty around us. Whether it is a small child playing, a bird in a tree, or just a cloud passing overhead, all these things can give us moments of great joy if we take a little time to notice them.Some of the greatest scientists in the world have been people who have taken infinite pains to observe things that others have not bothered with, and the natural world still presents us with an infinite range of fascinating problems. But man seems to be so preoccupied with his own world that he has neither the time nor the inclination to explore the mysteries that still surround him.二、词汇解析1. fierce competition:激烈的竞争2. landscapes:风景3. preoccupied with:被……所占据4. infinite pains:无穷大的努力5. inclination:倾向三、文章解析本篇文章主要通过对匆忙生活以及现代人对美的认识来探讨大自然的魅力。
