问题     The tendency nowadays to wander in wildernesses is delightful to see.
Thousands of tired, nerve-shaking, over-civilized people are beginning to (1)______
find out that going to mountains is going home; that wildness is a neces

stupefying effects of the vicious of over-industry and the deadly apathy of (4)______
luxury, they are trying as best they can to mix and enrich their own little on
goings with that of Nature, and to get rid of rust and disease. Briskly ventur- (5)______
ing and roaming, some are washing off sins and cares of the devil’s spinning
in storms on mountains; sauntering in pinewoods or in meadows, brushing
through chaparral, bending down and parting sweet, flowery sprays; tracing
rivers back their sources, getting in touch with the nerves of Mother Earth; (6)___
jumping from rock to rock, panting in whole-souled exercise, and rejoicing
in deep, long-drawn breathes of pure wildness. This is fine and natural and (7)______
full of promise. So also was the growing interest in the care and preserva- (8)______

gardens of towns. Even the scenery exists in its most artificial forms, mixed
with spectacles, silliness, and kodaks; its devotees arrayed gorgeously than (9)______
scarlet tanagers, frightening the wild game with red umbrellas—even this is
encouraging, and may well be regarded as a hopeful sign of times. (10)______
