When it comes to warm-weather activities that are good for your health, you probably think of walking, climbing or running. But there's another beloved activity - - - gardening.
A busy day in the garden can be a good form of exercise. It is helpful for your physical health. People breathe deeper when they are outside. As people breathe deeper, the oxygen. （氧气）level in their blood slowly increased, making them feel excited.
Spending time outdoors has been shown to help lift spirits and lower levels of stress. After a working day in the hospital, I would spend an hour or so in my garden. I find that pulling grass can be relaxing after a long day. It provided me with the chance to slow down, plan or work out a problem in my mind.
Gardening can also bring people together and make social connections stronger. The gardening community is rich with people willing to share their knowledge, time and sometimes plants with new gardeners. Many gardening friendships begin with celebrating a success or regretting a gardening mistake. The friendships that I've made have been the best gift that gardening has given me. During spring, my friends and neighbors plan our vegetable gardens together. In summer, we share flowers with each other. In fall, we hold a big party to enjoy the fruits or vegetables together. These activities improve the joy we get out of the garden and bring us closer together.
Have you seen the clay soldiers in Xi' an's terracotta museum? Do you know the true colors of them?
More than 2, 000 years ago, Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China, ordered people to build the Terracotta Army. He hoped that the army would guard him after he died.
In 1974, some farmers found several clay soldiers by accident in Xi' an. After that, about 8, 000 more were found by archeologists（考古学家）. Today, the clay soldiers in Xi' an's terracotta museum are light brown. But they weren't always this color. When they were made, they had the colors of white, green, blue, red, purple and yellow. Sadly, most of the colors disappeared today.
An area with more than a hundred clay soldiers was discovered by archeologists a few years ago. Many of them still had black hair, pink faces and black or brown eyes when they were found. If they were not protected well, their colors would disappear, too. After a clay soldier was found, archeologists used two steps to keep its color. First, they sprayed（喷）a special" water" on it.

Archeologists are facing a new challenge now. They are going to find a way to put the colors onto the clay soldiers again. If they succeed in doing it, people will be able to see what the clay soldiers originally（最初）looked like. It must be very amazing.
