As is well know, when senior students graduate from school, most of their textbooks are thrown away, that are still in good condition. What waste of it ! I quite agree to the suggestion that we should recycle these textbooks. For one thing, recycling textbooks can save a lot of nature materials, which are used to making textbooks. For other, senior students may have plenty of useful notes on the pages. They are very helpful to those textbooks users. However , the cost of the books will unload some burden of the families of the students. Actually in Australia and some other countries, recycling textbooks are popular and that it gives us a good example. Why can’t they have a try?

We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silently.

The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of the EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.

The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.

The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. It comfortably covers an area of up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. They only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.

The EP comes with a 3-year warranty (保修) and a 60-day unconditional refund.

Dear Mary,

I receive your E-mail just now. Don’t worry about me. I was getting on well with my research work in the lab. To my greatly surprise, you say you will give up learn English. The reason is because you have not done well in it recently and you have lost interests. I’m afraid I can’t agree with you . I know it is difficulty to learn English, yet English is widely used in the world today. It will be important tool in our future work. Beside, it is becoming more and more important in our daily life. The more harder you study, the more successful you will be. Do remember that where there is a will, there is a way. I’ m looking forward to hearing good news from you.

Yours,

Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.

One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.

A second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-years–old who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out(排除)that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人）may watch lots of TV.

Their study measured the TV habits of 26-years-old between ages 5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.

In the California study,children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.

While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating（积累） findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms

1.According to the California study, the low-scoring group might________.

A. have watched a lot of TV

B. not be interested in math

C. be unable to go to college

D. have had computers in their bedrooms

2.What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?

A. Poorly motivated 26-years-old watch more TV.

B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.

C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-years-old.

D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.

3.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A. More time should be spent on computers.

B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.

C. TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.

D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.

4.What would be the best title for this text?

A. Computers or Television

B. Effects of Television on Children

C. Studies on TV and College Education

D. Television and Children's Learning Habits

The Winter Olympics is also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are published（出版） to mark the great Games.

Never before have so many people traveled to so many different parts of the world and, with the help of fast, comfortable forms of modern transport, more and more people are tempted to（试图）leave their homes to see more of the world.

Second, traveling makes them fully relaxed and ready to get back to work happily. Third, it offers them an opportunity to visit old friends and make new friends as well. Finally, it allows them to see different customs, learn new things, gain new experience and enables them to come back with a broader mind.

With so many advantages to traveling, I think people should be encouraged to travel from time to time, especially on holidays, if their pocket and health permit.
