What surprises us most? It is that there are still couples who keep doing things to show each other love. A Japanese farmer is famous for his act of love. He has spent nearly two years planting flowers for his blind wife.

Mr. and Mrs. Kuroki live in a large flower garden. The garden has turned into a tourist attraction (旅游胜地) recently. Around 7,000 visitors come here each year, not only for the beautiful scenery (景色), but also for the special story behind the two old farmers.

In 1956, the newly married couple first moved into the house. The house would be their home for the rest of their lives. They had two children and lived happily for years. However, as years passed, Mrs. Kuroki's health began to decline. Her vision (视力) problems were so serious that she became blind in the end. She hid herself in her home for a long time, refusing to leave unless it was necessary.

Mr. Kuroki got an idea. He wanted to give her gifts—flowers. So he got to work on his big surprise. Mr. Kuroki took advantage of the hills around their house and he began to plant a kind of flower with strong fragrance (芳香). He wanted to see if the fragrance would make her come outside. When he realized that his idea was going to work, he worked for nearly two years to completely cover his garden with the flowers.

Now Mrs. Kuroki goes out every day with her husband to enjoy the fragrance of the flowers and the fresh air of a new day.

Recently,the 20﹣minute park theory(理论) is a hot topic on social media. This theory suggests that a 20﹣minute visit to a park can help people feel better,according to the International Journal of Environmental Health Research. Whether you exercise or simply take a walk in the park,it can help you relax. Actually,it is nature that benefits(使受益) us. 

How does nature have a good influence on our body and mind?Studies show that when we are in natural environments,our heart rate and blood pressure reduce. Also,being outdoors,seeing trees,hearing birds' songs,looking at the sky,and feeling in connection with nature help to lower people's stress,reduce anxiety and increase their confidence. 

What can we do to connect with nature?In fact,nature is all around us. For example,we could take up a new hobby or activity that allows us to spend more time outside,such as bird watching,gardening,or simply going for a run or walk in the park or the forest. Changing the way to school or work could also make a difference. We will certainly benefit even from just walking to work through a park or a quieter area with more trees. 

Many people are making a close connection with nature. Huang Bingbing,an office worker in Shenzhen,is one of them. There are many community parks now. She is used to visiting the small park near her company during her weekday lunch breaks. "On that grass field,I could connect with living plants and animals,allowing me to have a fresh mind and forget about the stress from work for a while,"Huang said. 

Lately the 20 minute park theory has enjoyed popularity online. According to it,people can {#blank#}1{#/blank#},walk or do other things at a park for 20 minutes to relax. That's because {#blank#}2{#/blank#}is good for both body and mind. To connect with it,we just need to spend more time outside like in a park or the forest. Besides,it will be{#blank#}3{#/blank#} helpful if we walk through a quieter place with more trees on the way to school or work. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the community park during the lunch break is also a nice way. Maybe you will forget about stress and your mind will be {#blank#}5{#/blank#}after your stay. Have a try!
