I often quarrel about my father over whether I can watch TV after the school. He holds the view that senior three students have to make fully use of every minute to work hard on their lessons. It seemed to him that once I am allowed to do that, I’ll unable to control myself and forget all about my study. He also thinks it is bad for my eye. And I really can’t accept her ideas. In my opinion, watch TV can refresh my mind after a day’s hard work. Besides, it is important for us students to know which has happened at home and abroad. Thus, we shouldn’t be forbidden to watch TV.

You probably know that exercise is the key to reducing depression, but you might not know why. Here are some tips for exercising when you’re depressed.
Change your view of “exercise”.
Forget “exercise”. Instead, think “being active” or “having fun”. 1. Besides, it gives you a bigger benefit.
2.
Taking part in physical activities with others supports you in doing those activities. Ask friends what activities they’re doing or they would like to start doing, and join them. Other choices include hiring a personal trainer, joining an exercise group or going to a class.
Try an experiment.
3. Or go to the gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Even if you’re feeling too tired to do any actual exercise, still go to the gym, park your car, walk in, chage into workout clothes, and pick up a 5-pound weight. If you’re really so tired that you don’t want to do anything else, that’s totally fine.
Take it outside.
Nature has a great effect on our feeling and decreases depressive symptoms. Even just looking at images of lakes and trees helps. 4. Or walk on a treadmill (跑步机) by a window.
Tie it to a goal.
Korb said, “When you connect your exercise to a long-term goal, it helps your brain forget momentary discomfort and makes your exercise more satisfying.” For example, Korb started getting active because it made playing sports more enjoyable. Figure out what’s truly important to you. 5.

D.Remind yourself of your goal regularly.

Last week the British university system offered a record number of places. That sounds like good news—but do we really need more people to go to university? For that matter, does the world need more universities?
The answer feels like it should be yes.
Education is good, is it not? But everything has a cost.
Education takes time. We could insist that everyone study full-time until the age of 45 but that would surely be too much. And perhaps half the population studying until they’re 21 is also too much. As for universities, they consume financial and intellectual resources—perhaps those resources might be better spent elsewhere.
My own personal opinion is strongly in favour both of going to university, and of simply having universities around.
The main skill I learnt at university was to write about economics, and I use that skill every day of my professional life, even an abstract education seems practical to me. And I now live in Oxford, one of the world’s most celebrated (著名的) university cities. Oxford’s experience certainly suggests that universities have much to offer.
The city’s architecture and green spaces have been shaped—greatly for the better, on balance —by the 900-year-old institution at its heart. The beauty attracts tourists and locals too.
But these are samples of one. Many people do not find themselves using the skills and knowledge they accumulated at university. And Oxford’s dreaming spires (尖顶) aren’t terribly representative of global universities as a whole.
1.Which of the following is the most proper title?
A. Does the world need more universities?
B. Is education really necessary?
C. Is British university system the best?
D. Do you prefer universities abroad?
2.Which of the following about the writer is TRUE?
A. He is an economist now.
B. He likes Oxford’s architecture and green spaces most.
C. The skill he learnt at university is practical in his career.
D. He holds the view that going to univeristy is a waste of resources.
3.The writer develops the passage by ______.
A. comparing his experience with others’
B. persuading us with his own experience and opinion
C. describing and sharing his own university experience
D. informing us of the advantages of universities
4.In the following part, the writer is likely to ______.
A. list more supporting details about his opinion
B. show more disadvantages about going to universities
C. present some opposite opinions about universities
D. draw a conclusion about the topic
I recently spent two years in the Arctic filming the series Blue Planet. I love being in an environment that has changed for 20,000 years. Of course, it’s freezing, but it must be a healthy place because you never catch colds.
When I’m filming, I like to really feel how lonely the environment is. Filming underwater involves cutting through thick ice and diving in tied to a line. The person at the other end has to be ready to pull you out fast if necessary.
Originally I was a research diver for the British Antarctic Survey project, but for me science lacked excitement. I’d always enjoyed photography, and whenever camera teams passed through, they encouraged me to watch and learn. I was then able to move into filming in 1985 and have concentrated on Arctic and Antarctic wildlife ever since.
I prefer face to face with the animals I’m filming. I haven’t got into the water with killer whales yet, but I plan to. Of course, it’s dangerous if you choose the wrong moment. They are big animals and can move fast, so I’d be stupid to film them searching for food.
I’ve never had problems with polar bears, although once I was frightened when one tried to get into my tent. Polar bears are bold, clever and dangerous. But I made this one see I wasn’t about to attack it—I’m sure it realized I wouldn’t hurt it.
When I came back home from my trips, I work in the mornings and spend the afternoons swimming to keep fit. Now I’m fifty, filming is harder. The challenge for me is to continue to deliver high-quality work.

A. the challenges of the environment he works in

A. He wasted the years he spent as a scientist.
B. It was a good chance to learn about filming.

3.When talking about killer whales, the writer says that ______.
A. he will only film them from a safe distance
B. he has always been careful when diving with them
C. he tries to avoid any danger by facing them
D. he believes there are safe opportunities to film them
