Features: Nature! She surrounds us, enfolds us. She is always creating new forms; what exists now has never existed before; what has appeared will never appear again. All things are new, yet they remain eternal. We live in her embrace, yet we are always strangers to her. She constantly speaks to us, yet never reveals her secrets to us. We constantly influence her, yet we cannot grasp her in the slightest. To rebuild human natural sensibility, we must change our attitude toward nature, restore its magic, and recognize that nature supports human progress with its eternal constancy and vast fertility, thereby warning humanity to respect nature rather than arrogantly transcend it in order to fulfill all human ambitions. The Unknown·New Youth Reader is a supplementary reader for New College Chinese. The theme of this volume is "Nature." The editor has selected approximately 20 articles to further expand and deepen the theme of "Nature" in the New College Chinese textbook. A lengthy preface written by the editor is included before the articles.
