10． The word "spiritual" comes from the Latin spiritus，which means "breath." Originally，that which was spiritual was simply that which was breathtaking.From this perspective，a spiritual experience is anything that is awe-inspiring.People of all religions—or none at all—can equally experience such awe-inspiring events.Spirituality doesn't rely on a set system of teachings or beliefs；it is merely the joy of being present in the moment and experiencing the awe （敬畏） and wonder of living.
Definitions of ecospirituality include "an expression of the spiritual connection between human beings and the environment" and "understanding the interrelationships between all living beings on earth and recognizing their interdependency while appreciating their value for maintaining ecobalance." Others feel ecospirituality is the connectedness between the science of ecology and spirituality.Put simply，it is the personal experience of spirituality in nature.Although definitions may vary，all point to a sense of oneness with nature，and address our basic need for reconnecting with the environment.
Although there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to ecospirituality，there are a few common concepts throughout the practice.Things like feeling connected with the universe，knowing the risks involved in creating an imbalance in the ecosystem，protecting nature—and most importantly—sensing a feeling of "awe" in learning about our environment and ecosystem are all included in ecospirituality.Embracing a way of life that honors all living beings on our planet is what ecospirituality involves.
At this point，you're probably wondering what you can do to integrate ecospirituality into your life.And the answer is simple!Start with a daily gratitude practice，focusing on what you are grateful for in nature every day.This simple exercise will not only positively benefit your outlook on life，but it will also motivate you to take actionable steps in preserving Earth's many gifts.
Once you have a solid gratitude practice in place，consider spending more time in nature.Studies show that something as simple as taking a mindful walk outdoors can reduce stress and overthinking.And remember to be mindful while participating in nature!The key to ecospirituality is to let our beautiful planet take your breath away.And how can you do that if you don't stop to smell the roses？
（1）What is spirituality？
（2）How does a daily gratitude practice affect people？
（3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
▷Ecospirituality involves various aspects such as experiencing a sense of connection with the universe and ignoring the risks of creating an imbalance in the ecosystem.
（4）What else can you do in daily life to better connect with nature？ （In about 40 words）
