For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed（消耗） by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted（轻松地） movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思)for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!
The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping（单脚跳） along the path singing, I'm singing in the rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制) our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.
Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.
If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.

(答案→)D 解析：提出一个建议，当我们疲惫不堪时，走进大自然是最好的选择！【小题1】推理题。通读文章第一段可知作者疲惫的因为是长时间疲劳工作。【小题2】推理题。根据第一段知道那些方法不奏效，只好走进自然，目的都是让自己振作起来。【小题3】猜测词义题。根据下文可知，那些方法都没有起作用。所以选择A【小题4】细节题。根据第二段最后三行可知。【小题5】考查段落大意。最后一段是提出一个建议。
