七、(2025·南皮县第一中学模拟)阅读理解
Physical work is very important in our daily life. It can make us strong and healthy. When we do physical work, like cleaning the house, watering the flowers or helping on the farm, our bodies move. Moving our bodies is good for our muscles and bones. It makes us more energetic.
Doing physical work also helps us learn new skills. For example, when we plant trees, we learn how to dig holes, put the trees in and water them. These are useful skills that we can use in our daily life.
Moreover, physical work can teach us the value of hard work. When we finish a piece of physical work, like building a small shelf, we feel a sense of achievement. We know that we have worked hard to make something. This feeling makes us proud of ourselves and gives us the motivation to do more.
In addition, physical work can bring us closer to nature. When we work in the garden or on the farm, we can see the growth of plants, and we can feel the wind and the sun. It makes us appreciate the beauty of nature and understand the importance of protecting it.
