         A few years ago my sister moved from her home in Alabama to Buffalo, New York. Since moving to
    Buffalo she's become a big hockey fan and has encouraged me to start watching it. Unfortunately it's very difficult to find hockey on television here in Alabama. Since hockey games don't air very much on television  I've had to look for different ways to watch hockey games.
         I often see websites that claim if you go to their website you can watch television on your computer. I
    try out many of these websites hoping that one of the television stations is a northern station that airs
    hockey games. Unfortunately, most of them don't work. Either the site doesn't really give you what they
    advertise or their video player doesn't work properly. But finally I've found one websites that actually
    works.
         Free Tube is a site that you can go to and watch Television online for free. You don't have to
    download any kind special software or pay money or even sign up for anything. All you have to do is go
    to Free Tube, choose your channel and start watching.
          The different channels to choose from are separated into different categories like news, business,
    entertainment, music and sports. You're not going to find channels like NBC or ABC so you can watch
    the latest episode of Heroes or Grey's Anatomy but it does include some popular channels like Cartoon Network and ESPN.
          There is also a movie section. Each move channel airs different sorts of films like adventure, classics,
    comedy or horror and that channel will always air that kind of movies. The movie section also includes
    my favorite station called Maxx Trailers (预告片). Maxx Trailers airs nothing but movies trailers 24
    hours a day. Some of the trailers are for movies coming out and some are for movies that have already
    been released but already released movies don't go back farther than a couple of months.
         So far I haven't had any problems with Free Tube's video player either. Whenever I choose a channel
    the video almost always works and usually loads every quickly. The only problem I have with Free Tube
    is that there is currently a glitch if you're using Firefox. Once you choose a channel you can't select
    another channel to change to, your web browser will freeze up. So if you're using Firefox the only way to
    switch channels is to leave the site and re-enter the site, when choose what channel you want to go to.
    However, Free Tube is aware of this glitch and is working with Mozilla to get it fixed right away.
         If you're missing some show everyone is talking about like Grey's Anatomy or Heroes this isn't really
    a solution for that. But Free Tube is a good way to find channels that you weren't aware of; there are
    several good stations to be found.

    1. The author mainly ________ in this passage.

    A. tells us his experience in using the Web.
    B. introduces Free Tube to the readers
    C. shows us the disadvantages of Free Tube
    D. shows us how to enjoy films online

    2. The author got interested in watching hockey games ________

    A. because he is a sports fan
    B. due to his sister's influence
    C. since everyone enjoys the games
    D. because he has nothing to do all day long

    3. Which of the following is TRUE about Free Tube?

    A. You'll have to pay if you watch films on Free Tube.
    B. You'll have to fix special software on your computer to visit Free Tube.
    C. Users have to sign up their user's name first.
    D. Channels are divided into different categories on Free Tube.

    4. Form the passage we can learn that _________

    A. the author is also very fond of movies
    B. Maxx Trailers airs to-be-released movies
    C. ABC is a very famous TV station in America
    D. Firefox is the only software used to watch films online

    5. The underlined word "glitch" probably means _________

    A. cover
    B. change
    C. note
    D. fault
    1-5: BBDAD

    A. Interest and importance
    B. Positive expectation
    C. People can't have perfect memory.
    D. Memory is an active process.
    E. A relaxed mind helps memory.
    F. Control depression.
    1._____
         Most of us express dissatisfaction with our memory, especially when we want to recall some detai
    l and we can't.Some examples are, an address or a telephone number, the time of a meeting,
    somebody's name, etc.Even people who I think have an excellent memory, complain that they forget
    things.Memory works like a bank.You can get to it, only if you put it there.If you didn't deposit it, you
    can't collect it when you need it.It is described what we need to do to improve our memory in this article.
    2. ____
        Recall of a particular event or detail depends on the interest we take and the importance we assign
    to that detail or event, at the time when it is taking place.We remember so much more about people,
    places, and topics which fascinate us.When you are greatly interested in a subject, you pay close
    attention and your brain releases chemicals to form deeper "imprints" on the cells that store memory.
    3.  ____
         The more active attention you pay, the more details you observe, the more you think, reason, and
    comprehend, the more associations you make of what you know with what you are trying to learn, the
    more you will retain and be able to recall, later on.Good memory is a state of the active mind.
    4. _____
         Learn with a relaxed mind.Recall the learned material with a relaxed mind.Let's take as an example
    a situation where you misplace your car keys.If you get too anxious about yourself in trying to recall
    something, as is the case in this example, you are in for frustration.But, if you relax your mind, and
    calmly go through the events backward, you are more likely to remember where you left them.
    5. _____
         Depression can make the interest and joy less in the events surroundings us.As a result, too little
    energy is left to recall anything.Some depressed persons become more anxious and depressed thinking,
    "I have lost my mind." Once depression is treated, memory as a general rule, returns to the normal.
