Time outdoors has a hugely positive impact on our mental health and wellbeing. Whether you fancy paddle boarding around the coast or zipwiring across the treetops， heres how to unlock a healthier， happier you this spring and summer.

From reducing blood pressure to alleviating symptoms of depression， countless studies have proved that being outdoors and in contact with nature is beneficial for both physical and mental health. In these milder months， theres no excuse not to be outside as much as possible. Here are six ideas for inspiration.

Escape to the country

City dwellers craving a rural fix should seek out one of the many regional annual outdoor shows， a celebration of farming and rural life， with sheep and cattle competitions， horse and dog shows， sheepshearing contests and farm machinery displays. These days， though， the events are also packed with familyfriendly entertainments， ranging from air displays and carriagedriving races to skateboarding and marching bands. Local producers showcase their food and drink， and makers display arts and crafts.

Swim in scenic surroundings

What could be a more perfect summer idyll than plunging into a cool lake or river on a hot， sunny day？ Wild swimming—taking a dip in rivers， lakes， streams and waterfalls—has a growing number of fans. Popular spots to swim include Ullswater in the Lake District and lochs throughout Scotland， while rivers in the Brecon Beacons are home to stunning waterfall plunge pools. In the south of England， Pangbourne on the river Thames is one of many popular locations， and there are even urban swims to be had in Londons Serpentine and Highgate ponds.

Soar into the treetops

Theres a special kind of thrill to hurtling through the treetops suspended on a wire. Locations range from urban parks （such as Heaton Park in Manchester and Battersea Park in London） to mountains and forests. Zip World， with locations in Wales， offers a variety of adventures through forest， over a quarry and even—this ones for the fitter and more adventurous—underground in caverns. Go Ape has locations throughout England， Scotland and Wales， and a collection of mainly forestbased attractions.

Kayak along the waterways

Britain has thousands of miles of rivers， lakes， reservoirs and canals; canoeing （singleended paddle）， or kayaking （doubleended paddle）， is a great way to explore them. Assuming you dont have your own canoe， youll need to join a club or go to an activity centre， where staff will generally help new paddlers with an induction session. Sea kayaking is a lot of fun， too， and more experienced paddlers may enjoy canoe polo （just as it sounds） or whitewater canoeing.

Get started： British Canoeing （britishcanoeing.org.uk） has information on canoe clubs and activity centres around the country， and on canoe hire.

Walk this way

Whether its a Sunday stroll or a serious hike， theres no simpler—or cheaper—way to explore Britains great outdoors than on foot. The British countryside is laced with public footpaths; all you need to get going is a pair of walking boots or sturdy trainers （plus a map and weatherproof gear if youre going far）. Among myriad footpaths， 16 national trails pass through some of the countrys most iconic landscapes. They include the South West Coast Path， with 630 miles of trails snaking around the Dorset， Devon， Cornwall and Somerset coasts， and northern Englands hilly Pennine Way.

Combine your love of music with the outdoors

Pack your tent and wellington boots and head for one of the countrys iconic music festivals this summer. These days the biggest international names （from Beyoncé to Ed Sheeran） vie to play them： theres no other way to see so many top artists in a single location. Glastonbury is taking a break in 2018， but there are many others picking up the slack， from Bestival to Latitude， the Isle of Wight festival， V and many more. Pray for sunshine， but come prepared for rain.

Get started： The Festival Calendar （thefestivalcalendar.co.uk） has comprehensive listings for 2018s summer festivals， with links to festival websites and ticket sales.

任務型閱讀

Good managers find a balance between praising employees for performing well and correcting their errors and errant behaviors. This balance is hard to maintain when an organization is focused on reducing the level of errors in production areas， such as in manufacturing and service delivery. However， many managers feel that complimenting employees so they feel successful and appreciated by their organization is more effective than punishment.

Employees who routinely perform their jobs at a satisfactory level or higher need praise just like people who struggle to meet their performance objectives. You should give praise when you see people succeeding at their jobs in general and when they excel at specific tasks. This acknowledgement can cause employees to feel engaged in their jobs and committed to the work they share with others in the same organizational unit.

Some managers offer praise to employees because they want something in return. Workers can see through this approach， which can create feelings of being used or resentment in workers. You dont want employees to question the motivations of your praise. Give praise honestly and frequently， using specific language and with a smile or a pat on the back. Consider using email， memoranda， bulletin boards and newsletters as ways to recognize employee achievements. Avoid giving too much praise to your favorite employees， or other employees might feel underappreciated.

Disciplining employees can mean dispensing consequences for violations of organizational rules， which employees should learn when they begin their employment. Think of yourself not as a punisher but as a rule enforcer. Some managers make the mistake of enforcing rules unevenly， giving extra consideration to employees they like best. In giving corrective feedback to staff， do it evenly and as frequently as needed to maintain desired levels of performance and professional behavior. Dont bend the rules for employees， or they will expect extra consideration again in the future.

Employees need space to perform their jobs and an appropriate amount of scrutiny. They may know you are watching their actions closely， perhaps using electronic methods of monitoring for security and productivity. Even when their performances are monitored， you should reinforce your employees positively and regularly for performing well and give appropriate consequences for poor performance or rule—breaking. A clear statement of expectations and acknowledgement of success foster high morale in the workplace. Ignoring problem employees can harm morale.

When Should a Manager Give Praise & Give Punishment？

In China， honesty is one of the most treasured traditional values. The children are taught to be honest when they are very young. At schools the students are also instructed to be honest.

However， with the development of society， we often hear complaints about dishonesty. Reports with the theme of dishonesty often appear in the media. For example， some people try to get rich and live a comfortable life. But they do not work hard honestly， they cheat others instead. They sell something quite ordinary at a very high price. Some peoples delaying paying back the loan can serve as another example. Some people， including some college students， get loan from the bank， and promise to pay within， say， three years. However， they dont do that.

The dishonest people sometimes can get benefit from their behaviors. So some people assert that dishonesty can bring people benefit， while honesty only makes people suffer. Is that so？Definitely not. It is always true that honesty is the best policy. It pays to be honest. The cheater selling “the treasure” mentioned above will surely be exposed and punished some day. On the contrary， if he had been honest， neither the buyer nor he himself would have suffered. The people who do not return money in time will sooner or later become infamous， and will not get the money from others again. If he had acted differently， he would have earned respect and trust， meanwhile， the bank would not have suffered from loss.

The picture above conveys that the foreign father is communicating with his daughters， who are listening carefully， while the mother with her child is focused on playing mobile phones.

The picture reminds us to face a fact that different people have different ideas in raising their children. The two daughters who listen carefully to their father are sure to learn a lot from the conversation and broaden their horizon as well. On the contrary， the mother and her baby are playing mobile phones， which is bad for their health.

From my perspective， Parents have the responsibility to set good examples to their children and tell them the disadvantages of playing cellphones. Secondly， they need to communicate with children as often as possible to build a harmonious relationship within the family. Besides， children should be taught to develop good habits and do meaningful things instead. Only in this way can they have a bright future. After all， they are the hope of the nation.

The passage mainly tells us that nowadays many people are dishonest for their own benefit because they not only neglect our traditional values， but also want to escape being punished.

Dishonesty does great harm to our society. It can destroy our good relationship with others， bringing lots of unstable factors to society. Sometimes， it may even affect peoples health.

Why should we be honest？As we all know， being honest is one of Chinese traditional virtues. In addition， friendship is based on honesty. Seeing that the honest person is reliable， most people are willing to make friends with them. What is important for us is that honesty can help us to build a harmonious society and realize our spiritual civilization.

As students， we should act honestly every day and never cheat others， including cheating in exams. Besides， we should help those who are dishonest correct their mistakes. Only in this way can we win respect from others.
