A
Personal Time Off(PTO)is something my wife and I created after having kids. We learned that，over time，a full
life can leave little time for personal rest and for reflection，hanging out with friends，or just being“off. ”So，after
a number of years，we make a change. If I can persuade you to take your own PTO，then these might help.
■Schedule it
First of all，one of our favorite family sayings is“schedule it. ”Sounds easy enough，but life gets complicated
managing full-time work and full-time family. Put yourPTO time on the calendar and you make it a real thing.
■Be flexible and strict
If you can schedule PTO at the same time each week，then all the better. Because our calendar can get rather
full，flexibility in scheduling becomes a necessity. But being strict in actually taking the time each week is more
important. Skipping it once makes it easier to skip again.
■Take enough time
My typical PTO lasts a couple of hours or longer. Sometimes it might be half the day depending on what I’m
doing. The goal is to spend enough time away to1et your shoulders drop.
■Do what you want to do
Remember，PTO time is about personal time to do what you want to do，not what you have to do. PTO time
is about relaxation. Grab a friend and get a beer. Work can wait until tomorrow.
1.What can be the first step to take the PTO?
A.Persuade the family.
B.Have a personal rest.
C.Ask friends for advice.
D.Make a time plan.
2.What does the underlined part“let your shoulders drop”probably mean?
A.Get you more focused.
B.Have you feel relaxed.
C.Shake your shoulders often. D.Make you feel more stressed.
3.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.Tips on how to take your time off
B.Skills to manage work and family
C.Advice on how to free yourself
D.Ways of scheduling your work
B
The founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator fromWisconsin. During the late 1960s,
Americans witnessed the uninvited side effects of high productivity. Factories and power plants were sending out
smoke and industrial waste while Americans were using petrol for their massive(大量的) cars, making air pollution
almostsynonymous withthe nation’s development.
What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill inCalifornia, the largest in theUnited
Statesat that time. The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a significant effect on marine life,
killing about 3,500 sea birds, as well as marine animals such as dolphins, elephant seals and sea lions, fueling
public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time, Nelson found it an appropriate
time to direct the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. He decided that it was time
to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public
environmentalawareness took centre stage.
On 22ndApril 1970, millions of Americans took to the street and thousands of students marched to appeal for
a healthy, sustainable environment. There was now a new synergy(协同作用) among different groups which had
previously been fighting their causes related to the environment. Their fight for environmental conservation
became so overwhelming that affected businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted
to continue their operations.
As it became more apparent that environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the
year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the
1992 United Nations Earth Summit inRio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a united effort towards
protecting the environment.
4. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “synonymous with” in paragraph 1?
A. familiar with B. opposite to
C. different from D. equal to 5. Why did Nelson found Earth Day?
A. To support students’ antiwar movement.
B. To draw people’s attention to the seriousness of the oil spill.
C. To arouse American’s awareness of environmental conservation.
D. To educate Americans to protect marine life threatened by oil spill events.
6. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Businesses would like to follow environmental standards.
B. Earth Day united people to fight for environmental protection.
C. It was the side effects of high productivity that led Nelson to take action.
D. The 1992 United Nations Earth Summit made Earth Day known to more countries.
7. The passage mainly talks about_______.

Bob and Sue Harvey spent nine years as resident fellows in a dormitory at Sanford and in their bookVirtual
Reality and The College Freshman, they write “The Freshman oftenfaces an identity problem during the first
semester.” College is a more pressured environment than it used to be, in part because the academic gap between
high school and college has increased. Many college freshmen have never had to make independent decisions
about sex, drugs and alcohol. Most don’t know how to manage their time or money. They often feel lonely and
overwhelmed, resulting in anxiety and depression.
Nancy Corbin, director of clinical service for student-counseling (咨询) services at Iowa State University, says
her office is seeing a significant increase in requests for counseling from freshmen who are having trouble making

Experts say that if food were a country, it would rank second behind theUSas one of the biggest greenhouse
gas polluters. The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is responsible for 14.5 percent of global
methane emissions. While cowsare the worst contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as
well.
Animal agriculture also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get destroyed.
With the world population forecast to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, things are only looking worse for our already
decreasing natural resources. While going vegetarian would help, meat consumption is too deep-rooted in most
Western diets to allow for such a sharp, permanent change. That is why experts are advocating substituting some
