21、iew that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right. No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve (自然保护区) and as a tourist attraction (观光胜地), he went on. The short view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreati

29、ng that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination. And because it fills the soul with a pleasant surprise, satisfies its curiosity, and gives it an idea which it did not possess before. We are too much familiar with one set of objects and tired out with so many repeatedshows of the sam
30、e things. And whatever is new or uncommon contributes a little to vary human life with the strangeness of its appearance: it serves us for a kind of refreshment, and takes off that satiety (厌腻) we tend to complain of in our usual and ordinary entertainment.

The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an 32
40、 servedmeal will often improve a childs appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never 33 likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother 34 vegetables in the childs hearing he is likely to copy thisproc
41、edure. Take it 35 granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a 36 dislike.
