Sitting in front of the television may be comfortable. But spending too much 29 in front of it may take years off your life. That’s what Australian researchers found when they 30 TV viewing information from more than 11,000 people older than 25 years old. The 31 found that people who watched an average six hours of TV a day lived an average 4.8 years 32 than those who didn’t watch any television. Also, every hour of TV that people watched after age 25 was related to a 22-minute reduction (减少) in their lives.
It’s not 33 that sitting in front of the television isn’t exactly healthy. The more TV you watch, the less physically active you are. And the less 34 you get, the more likely you are to develop diseases such as diabetes or heart problems.
So simply turn off the TV and get off the sofa and do more exercise. You should know even light physical activity can 35 our health.

“I will never forget you,” the old man said. A tear rolled down his face. “I’m getting old. I can’t take care of you anymore.”
Monsieur watched his owner, wondering, “What’s he up to now? ”
The old man cleared his throat, “Soon, I’ll move to an old age home, and I’m sorry to say, you can’t come along. They don’t allow dogs there. But don’t worry, my friend. We’ll find a nice new home for you. Anyone would be proud to own such a fine dog.”
The old man opened the door and stepped outside, pulling the dog behind. Dusk was beginning to fall. Monsieur pulled back. He didn’t want to go.
“Don’t make this any harder for me. I promise, you’ll be much better off with someone else.” The street was very quiet. It began to snow. After a very long time, they came upon an old house surrounded by tall trees. “This will be a nice home for you,” the old man said. “Go on now. Go up the steps and scratch (抓) on the door.”
Monsieur was hurt. He thought his owner didn’t love him anymore. He slowly walked toward the house and up the steps. Looking back, he saw his owner step behind a tree. He scratched with one paw at the front door. “Woof woof! Woof woof!”
Someone from inside opened the door and then a little boy appeared. When he saw Monsieur, he threw both arms into the air and shouted with joy, “Oh boy! Oh boy! Mom and Dad, come and see what Santa’s brought!”
Through tearful eyes, the old man watched from behind the tree. He wiped his eyes as he disappeared into the night whispering, “Merry Christmas, my friend.”

B
Have you ever wondered what the perfect place to visit would be if you had the chance? Well, let me tell you: a paradise of wonder on the small island of Jamaica. When I went there, I had the greatest time of my life.
Everything about Jamaica is just perfect. There are so many places to go and things to do. There are white sandy beaches and the ocean is so clear that you can see everything from coral to colorful fish. Another great thing is all the fresh fruit, and how much better it tastes. Some people there carry things around on their heads in a very unique way: they wrap cloth around their heads and then place the object on top and position it so it stays balanced. It’s amazing!
One of the most interesting things I have ever seen was the Glistening Waters. The name describes exactly what it is: one of a few lakes in the world that allows a rare living thing to live in it. Have you ever wondered about fireflies (荧火虫) and why they have a green glow (光)? Well, when you touch this water, it glows bright green exactly like a firefly. We got to swim there in the dark, which was really amazing.
There are just so many great and interesting places to explore in Jamaica. Other things include swinging (荡秋千) on vines into lakes, sensitive grass that closes when it feels your touch, and even exploring bat caves that have warm water you can swim in.
As you might guess, Jamaica is one of the most wonderful places, and I think you should make plans to go there soon.

An article (冠词) is one of the most difficult for the students of English as a second language (ESL) to learn. Misunderstanding these articles is the cause of a number of mistakes made by speakers of languages that do not have such constructions.

I bought this book just a day after it was published because I know the author very well and I learn a lot from him. In this guidebook, the author explains the meaning of articles in his special way. This book will give you a clear understanding of when to use an article and which article to use. Your English will improve after reading the guidebook.

There is no error, and no tons of theory. If you don’t like to waste your time you’ll prefer to read useful books. Then order the guide.
By Dmitry
I’ve just read the book and it is great. I like such informative books. The only thing is the video at the end of the book has been removed. It will be great if you can get the correct video if it is possible.
By Chris

Country singer Gary Allan has been making records since the mid 1990’s. But his latest album, Set You Free, is his first to hit number one on Billboard’s top two hundred albums chart (排行榜).

Gary Allan says Every Storm is about hope, the common idea throughout the new album.

The country singer is supporting the album with concerts around the United States for most of the rest of the year. He says the shows are full of energy.

It is true that flowers planted in the greenhouse can’t stand the hardships like those growing in the wild. It is that they are overprotected that results in their weak nature and low ability. The same goes for human beings. So we need not only care and love in life, but also necessary experience of hardships. Otherwise, what waits for us is failure because of our weakness. Only after we have lived through various hardships like wild flowers can we eventually succeed in our life.

Dear Li Hua,
I’m glad to learn that you’re going to travel alone. After all, traveling alone has many advantages. Now, I’d like to give you some tips on traveling alone.
First of all, your safety is the most important. When you are in trouble, turn to the police for help. Besides, you should keep an eye on your luggage at all times. Secondly, why not be friendly to the local people? By doing so, they’ll be happy to talk to you and help you if you need directions or other help. Remember to smile when you can. Thirdly, it is very important to stay in touch with your family or a friend regularly by phone or e-mail. Lastly, you’d better keep a travel journal of your experiences while traveling alone, which will make your life colorful.
Wish you a pleasant journey!
Yours,
Wang Lin

Country singer Gary Allan has been making records since the mid 1990’s. But his latest album, Set You Free, is his first to hit number one on Billboard’s top two hundred albums chart (排行榜).
The song Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain) is the lead single (单曲) from Gary Allan’s new album Set You Free. The song has sold one million copies and is number one on Billboard’s country music chart. It has risen faster than any other single in the California native’s career.
Gary Allan says Every Storm is about hope, the common idea throughout the new album.
“You can expect a lot of honesty and a lot of songs about life. It’s going to roll you through a breakup and it’s going to roll you through the anger and the pain and make you as good as new. So what I think you can expect is something a little bit different musically out of this.”
Gary Allan says his favorite song on Set You Free is One More Time. He says he wrote it after his father died.
The country singer is supporting the album with concerts around the United States for most of the rest of the year. He says the shows are full of energy.

It is true that flowers planted in the greenhouse can’t stand the hardships like those growing in the wild. It is that they are overprotected that results in their weak nature and low ability. The same goes for human beings. So we need not only care and love in life, but also necessary experience of hardships. Otherwise, what waits for us is failure because of our weakness. Only after we have lived through various hardships like wild flowers can we eventually succeed in our life.

Dear Li Hua,
I’m glad to learn that you’re going to travel alone. After all, traveling alone has many advantages. Now, I’d like to give you some tips on traveling alone.
First of all, your safety is the most important. When you are in trouble, turn to the police for help. Besides, you should keep an eye on your luggage at all times. Secondly, why not be friendly to the local people? By doing so, they’ll be happy to talk to you and help you if you need directions or other help. Remember to smile when you can. Thirdly, it is very important to stay in touch with your family or a friend regularly by phone or e-mail. Lastly, you’d better keep a travel journal of your experiences while traveling alone, which will make your life colorful.
Wish you a pleasant journey!
Yours,
Wang Lin
