①中国一直就是一个诗的国度。先秦时期，诗歌是外交答对的基本凭借，到了汉代，“登高能赋，可以为大夫。”唐代以后，诗歌的写作成为登科入仕的基本科目。而现在，《中国诗词大会》的热播，使我们对诗歌产生了更深的情感。

②是啊，中国人在诗歌里不知不觉地完成了生命的成长，大自然给予人类的诗意是最丰富的，如果你是否愿意去寻找，诗意就会出现在你的眼帘，荡漾在你的心中。烂漫春光里能寻觅诗意，萧瑟秋景中能发现诗意，慈母的牵挂中能品味诗意，游子的愁情里能感悟诗意……诗歌里描绘的美景，能医治心灵的创伤；诗歌里蕴含的真情，让心境宁静温暖。

③ 在诗歌这种古老文字体裁的浸润下，中华民族一直追求着诗意生活。即使在山河破碎、生死考验的艰难中，诗歌依然是保持民族气节、鼓舞人心的力量。一首首动人心魄的诗歌，唤起的是历史的鲜活记忆。

《韩非子》是一部古书，里面有这样的记载：“上古时候……民众经常生病。圣人出现以后，用钻木取火的方法使民众能吃到熟食，人们都非常高兴，于是推举他通知天下，称他为‘燧人氏’”。从这几句话中，我们可以得出远古人类怎样的信息(      )

    Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.

    I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金）(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)

    For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.

    We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.
