(2010·高考重庆卷)Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own.We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.
This sense of wonder is universal.Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars,and the popularity of fantasy(幻想) literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings.This sense of wonder draws us to each other,to the world around us,and to the world of makebelieve.But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?
Human beings,as biologists have suggested,possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms.However,people,especially in big cities,often lead rather isolated lives.In a study of British schoolchildren,it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife.Without_modern_technology,a_small_pond_could_be_an_amazing_world_filled_with_strange_and_beautiful_plants,insects,birds,and_animals.When we lack meaningful interaction (交互) with the world around us,and sometimes even with our families and friends,we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.
