A gardener, eager to see it grow tall, dug up the soil and removed every stone. "Grow faster!" he urged, watering it twice daily.

Weeks passed. The bamboo, now free from obstacles, shot upward rapidly. But its roots remained shallow, thin as threads. When the first storm hit, the bamboo swayed(v.摇晃) wildly, then snapped(v.突然折断) at the base. The gardener stared in dismay at the broken plant.

Meanwhile, in the same garden, another bamboo grew untouched. For years, it pushed slowly through the hard earth, its roots thickening and coiling(v.盘绕) deep into the ground. When storms came, it danced with the wind, unbroken.

As this picture shows, a group of Boston ivy is creeping along the wall, with some buds in blossom. Individual ivies are intertwining and developing a solid bond. This implies that miracles come about when you are patient with yourself and take constant baby steps.

These are what I attain from the experience,and I will never resign to the failure.At last,I would like to say that,learning from nature isn't as easy as your imagination,the nature is delicate to mimic,but it deserves our efforts.

Their ideas are important because they teach us to live simply. In today's world, we often have too many things and too much noise. But Tao and Thoreau showed us that we can be happy with less. We can enjoy the small things in life, like planting flowers or watching the sunrise.

Their ideas also teach us to respect nature. Tao and Thoreau loved the natural world. They saw its beauty and value. Today, we need to protect nature more than ever. Their ideas remind us to live in harmony with the environment.

Finally, their ideas teach us to follow our dreams. Tao and Thoreau had the courage to react their opposite to the life they opposed to. They didn't follow the crowd. Instead, they followed their hearts. We should do the same. We should listen to our hearts and live the life we truly want.

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to forget what we truly want. But Tao Yuanming and Thoreau remind us to slow down, enjoy nature, and follow our dreams. Their ideas are still important because they help us live a happier and more meaningful life.

Reading Thoreau's and Tao's stories with nature, the reasons why we seek peace and happiness in nature occurred to me that it is nature which inspires our admiration to the world we live and the sacred lives around us. Tao might was escaping from the court life full of malicious competition, looking for a place where kindness was the first reaction. Just as what Francis Bacon said, nature is the greatest artist in the world.

The design of Urupê Tower draws inspiration from the growth patterns of fungi, particularly those that form within tree trunks. The architect translated this organic concept into architectural space by placing dispersed planters on each floor, mimicking the way fungi colonize tree trunks. This design language seeks to blend man-made structures with natural systems, creating a work that resonates with the rhythm of natural development and connection, embodying the resilience and adaptability of fungi.

This building is not merely a residential space but also an ecological project. By emulating the growth patterns found in nature, Urupê Tower successfully integrates the structure with its surrounding environment, achieving a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. This design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also holds ecological value, contributing to improved indoor environments and the reduction of the urban heat island effect. It plays a significant role in promoting sustainable urban development and ecological conservation.

I think nature just like a shleter, protected us to far away from the busy and noice life. In this picture, I was on a bamboo boat. Monunts and water surrounded me and no one modern construction here. It made me felt entire relaxing. In this wonderland, I experienced the freedom of my body and my mind. Maybe it is the meaning of "Back to nature".

I understand we should pursuit of innerpeace. Getting energy through simple scenes can cope with life stress and anxiety.

And their ideas emphasize harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, providing a perfect example for addressing today's environmental issues.

Like this picture, which I took it in Tianchi,Xinjiang province.

The land is cloaked in a pristine snow coat and the pine,stand ahead the mountain,rendering the scene even more sacred.The wind made people wake，yet the scene made us utterly intoxicated.It is countless simple and beautiful scenes that offer me a sliver of solace in natural world. Perhaps this is the healing power of nature for me.

This quote reminds us that nature is humanity's greatest teacher. For billions of years, nature has perfected systems for survival, growth, and harmony. By observing nature, we find solutions to modern challenges — such as designing energy-efficient buildings inspired by termite mounds. Every plant, animal, and ecosystem holds wisdom about adaptation and resilience. When we respect and learn from nature, we discover smarter, more sustainable ways to live. Nature’s lessons are timeless.

In today's city life, modern buildings have replaced forests. People are immersed in urban life and ignore the most primitive nature. The act of these two poets returning to nature convinces us that back to nature can lead to a simpler and more relaxed life. Leaving with nature in harmony, the respect for nature at all times gave us personal well-being and fulfillment.

Inspired by elephant trunks, the bionic trunk robotic arm is highly flexible and versatile, made of multiple joints and flexible materials. It performs multi-degree-of-freedom movements and adapts to complex tasks like grasping, inspection, and welding. With high load capacity and precise control, it is used in manufacturing, surgery, rescue, and service industries. Challenges include material durability, control systems, and cost. As technology advances, its applications in automation and human-robot collaboration will expand significantly.

Palm trees symbolize life and growth in the region, and this design blends nature with modern engineering. The island includes luxury homes, hotels, and resorts, creating a peaceful, natural feel in a man-made environment. The Palm Jumeirah shows how nature can inspire amazing architecture, even in a modern city like Dubai.

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do." – Steve Jobs

Reflection:

This quote by Steve Jobs resonates deeply with me because it emphasizes the importance of passion in achieving excellence. When you genuinely love what you do, work no longer feels like a chore; instead, it becomes a source of inspiration and fulfillment. Passion fuels creativity, perseverance, and the drive to overcome challenges, which are essential for achieving greatness.

This idea reminds me to pursue work that aligns with my values and interests, rather than simply chasing external rewards. It encourages me to seek purpose in my efforts and to embrace the journey, knowing that true success comes from doing what I love. Steve Jobs' words serve as a powerful reminder that passion is the foundation of meaningful and impactful work.

The researchers have demonstrated that they can use the light emitted by the robot and three smartphone cameras to precisely track the robot.

Electroluminescence enables the robots to communicate with each other. For example, if they are sent on a search and rescue mission to a collapsed building, the robotic fireflies searching for survivors can use their lights to signal other companions and call for help. Although, so far, these robots can only operate in a laboratory environment, the researchers are excited about their potential future uses.

Nature is a teacher or a doctor of us.When I went back to nature, I feel very peaceful in my heart .In that moment I forgot everything that made me feel sad or angry.Maybe that’s why Tao and Thoreau went back to nature and lived for a long time.

In the city,people all have their own problems. We feel stressed about our current life.People have no way to make them relax.But nature can help us.When I saw the green forest ,my eyes feel well and I be in a better mood.That’s how nature help us and why Tao’s idea and Thoreau’s idea are important to us today.

During the fourthgrade, my Chinese teacher lectured on a passage about Sophorae(槐花？）. Since then, I have been eager to try some food with Sophorae. By chance,after the weekend drawing class,my friend Wang XiaoMeng,saw that the tall Sophorae tree outside the community was in bloom.Sophorae tree a tree and warm the sun opened scattered into the air intoxicating. She told me Sophorea honey was very sweat. Then she took me to step on the high fence to pick Sophorae flowers. At the meanwhile, appealing to lots of classmate to pick flower. I managed to pick two bunches,which were sweet and fell badly.WangXiaoMeng is a brave girl. She often took me to grass to play. During that time, we were like ShenNong tasting hundreds of herbs, curious about everything and wanting to taste everything.I rememeber onetime I asked her,Aren't you afraid of a snake biting you.

She said we are all animals and insignificant in the natural universe.Why should we fear each other, let alone be bitten. And we outgh to be friend with animals.

Unfortunately,all the photos I played with her were lost.

But I took these lessons to heart.

THANKS.

In fact, it was initially a kind of carnivorous animal. With the increase of the number of species, interspecific competition intensified. A specie became a dominate specie,while the others decreased or even died out. Facing the cruel condition, panda, the gentle animal, deliberately kept clear of it by becoming a "vegetarian".

Finally, it survived and reproduced till now.

Panda's experience teach us the wisdom of avoidance. when we face fierce competition，maybe withdrawing from it is a wise choice.
