Passage Reading 段落朗读

There is no doubt that more leisure time would improve the quality of many people’s lives. If , with the development of science and technology, we worked fewer hours, we would have more leisure time to learn things that we want to know, to explore our creativity, and to travel to places where we have never been and meet people who we have never met. With more leisure time, we could spend enough time together with our family members and interact with them. We could also get to know our families better and enjoy our life more.

    Similarly, leisure activities can help students to have better results. Extracurricular activities are important to students who want to continue studying at colleges or universities. To be more specific, students learn important lessons about life from leisure activities. By taking part in activities at leisure time, they learn how to deal with people and how to behave as an adult. They can learn the skills which are not found in their textbooks. In addition, leisure activities can help students to manage their stress and pressure in their study.
