       Getting up early has been regarded as a good habit since ancient times．Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic the whole day．So, getting up early is of great importance to us all．

       In fact, morning is the best time of a day．In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best conditions．Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and accurately in the morning than at any other time of the day．If we do some morning exercise or only take a short walk in the morning, we can build our bodies and become much healthier．Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early．However, if we get up late, we'll probably have to do everything in a great hurry．

       Let us remember getting up early is a good habit and try our best to keep it．If we stick to getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it．

What would life be like without television? Would you spend more time  36  , reading, or studying? Well, now it’s your chance to turn off your TV and  37  ! TV-Turnoff Week is here.

  The goal of TV-Turnoff Week is to let people leave their TV sets  38   and participate in activities  39   drawing to biking. The event was founded by TV-Turnoff Network, a non-profit organization which started the event in 1995. In the  40  , only a few thousand people took part.

This is the 11^th year in which  42   are asking people to “turn off the TV and turn on  43  .” .w.^w.k.&s.5*u.c.#om.

  According to the TV-Turnoff Network, the average  44   in the US spend  45   time in front of the TV (about 1,023 hours per year) than they do in school (about 900 hours per year). Too much TV  46   has made many kids grow fat.  47  , in 2001’s TV-Turnoff Week, US Surgeon General David Satcher said, “We are raising the most  48   generation of youngsters in American history. This week is about saving lives.”

  Over the years, studies have shown that watching a lot of TV  49   poor eating habits, too little exercise, and violence. Frank Vespe of the TV-Turnoff Network said that turning off the TV “is or  50  , part of a healthy lifestyle”. .w.^w.k.&s.5*u.c.#om.

  “One of the great lessons of  51   TV-Turnoff Week is the realization that  52   I turn on the TV, I’m deciding not to do something else,” Vespe said.

Among various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as they can be. For example, the show takes the ever-mon talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.

Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.

pared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.

pared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ____.

A. more interesting                 B. more formal  

C. more detailed                    D. unusually popular

Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

A. Family ine planning.               B. Nation hatred.

C. A new type of robot.                D. Street accident.

We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.

A. have bee the only ones of its kind

B. attract different people

C. appear at different times of the day

D.exploit the weaknesses in human nature

  Dear Mary,

How are you? Today I’ve got a wonderful news to tell you. I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education. One hundreds and twenty students took exams but only a few was chosen and I was one of them. However, my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against me going there. They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid I will feel lonely. They couldn’t imagine a girl so young living alone. They advise me to study in the capital instead. Then I’ll be able to continue living with us. Why can I persuade them to accept the fact I have grown up?

Best Wishes
