Play that song you love so much. As a preschooler can tell you, repetition can lead to pleasure.
When you experience something more than once, you notice more details about it each time, and it
increases your enjoyment. That"s why you love revisi ting that jazz club, favourite restaurant, and
beloved old Woody Allen movie. Of course, you can overdo it.
Don"t buy boxed sets of DVDs. Economist(经济学家) Tyler says that much of the joy we get
from our buying lies in the experience of finding them out, getting them home, and opening them up.
If you receive 18 DVDs in one package, you"ll use up the excitement all at once. Buy things one a time
and space out the pleasure.

around. The world in which most of us spend our time nowadays is unnatural and can harm the spirit.

animals works wonders. You can pet an animal. It increases the brain chemicals connected with
pleasure and decreases those connected with stress(压力). Even people without pets can get some
of the effect by hanging out for a few minutes at a dog shelter.

stop watching TV for either a week or a month.Many could not complete the task and some families
quarrelled or even fought.It was quite interesting and now I will say something about TV.
After TV became a product most families could afford, people bought and started to watch their new
TVs.Both adults and children became less creative in problem solving, less able to focus on tasks, and
less tolerant of flexible time.
In my family, we grew up with the TV on.Every weekend, we watched Gun Smoke and Bonanza
together as a family.TV provides us with a comfortable background when we want to learn a foreign
language at home, and it entertains us cheaply with live action sports, incomparable performing arts and
important events of the world.In addition, it educates us about everything from the cells in our body to
the galaxies in the universe.
Perhaps it"s not even practical to live without television unless our views change unexpectedly as we
get older.I don"t think that TV damages us so much as it robs us of time that could be spent doing other
things such as learning new skills, getting some exercise or doing volunteer work.
I was lucky to have a family that watched TV together.Today there seems to be a TV in every room
of the house and there"s no need to agree on a program to watch.To watch TV or not is more of a
question for adults than for us, and even though we all say we want to cut down the time we spend in
front of the tube, we never really do.TV_has_us_hypnotized!
1. The experiment in Paragraph 1 shows________.
A. how interesting watching TV is
B. how much people like watching TV
C. whether people like watching TV
D. why people give up watching TV
2. After most families could afford a TV, they________.
A. got more active at work
B. found it easier to solve problems
C. became more independent of TV
D. fixed less attention on tasks
3. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that________.
A. the author likes to spend weekends watching TV by himself
B. watching TV too much prevents the author from growing up well
C. TV programmes bring only fun to the author and his family
D. the author and his family get a lot of valuable experience in watching TV
4. According to the author, which of the following is TRUE?
A. It is a waste of time to watch TV.
B. We benefit little when we watch TV.
C. It is hard to live without television.
D. We change our views as we live with television.

A. we depend too much on TV
B. watching TV makes us united

from their partner.While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in a relationship, in truth it may
just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all marriages ending in divorce, men and women
are realizing they need to be financially savvy, regardless of whether they are in a relationship.
The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult, even more so when
children are involved.The lack of permanency in relationships, job and family life may be the cause of a
growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner, in other words, an"escape fund".
Margaret"s story is far from unique.She is a representative of a growing number of women in longterm
relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every month on pay day, she banks
hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her husband.She has been doing this throughout their sixyear marriage and has built a nest egg worth an incredible$100,000.Margaret says if her husband
found about her secret savings he"d be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn"t sure of the
marriage."He"d think it was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if
it went wrong.I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is, but you can
never be sure."
Like many of her fellow secret savers, Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has since been
very guarded about her own money.
Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad.Take Colleen for
example, who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to her partner."I decided to
open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.I wanted to prove to myself that I could
put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy day."

is just to make a mealtime plate look pretty.Poor parsley, valued for its looks, then is thrown away.Yet
parsley is a good source of vitamins and other nutrients.The taste is a little strong for some people, but
others chew on parsley to freshen their breath.
Curly parsley is the king that often ends up being used just for appearance.Flatleaf parsley is easier to
work with for cooking.This kind is often called Italian or French parsley.Do you know about a third kind
of parsley?Hamburg parsley has flat leaves that can be used for the same purposes as other parsley.But
hamburg parsley has a large root which is used as a vegetable to add flavor to soups.
Parsley is used in foods such as tabouli, a traditional Lebanese salad and is often served with lamb,
fish and beef dishes.Parsley is a herb if you use just the greens.If the root is used, then parsley is
considered a vegetable.
Some gardeners suggest that to get the besttasting parsley, you should plant new seeds every year.
You can get parsley to grow faster by pouring warm water over the seeds.Leave the seeds in the water
overnight.Then you can grow them in containers indoors or plant them outside.Parsley grows best when
temperatures are below twentyone degrees Celsius.It likes to grow in sunny places.The seeds need rich
soil.Plant the seeds about fifteen to twentyfive centimeters apart.Water them regularly during the first
month.After that, parsley does not need very much water.You can harvest parsley by cutting most of the
