There has been many popular TV series recently, such as Nirvana in Fire (琅玡榜).Nowadays almost every family has a TV set and almost everyone is fond of binge-watching (追剧) in his spare time. TV becomes one necessity in our daily life. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we all know is that TV has many advantages. For example, it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (inform) us of the latest news that happened home and abroad. Besides, it can broaden our eyes, enlarge our knowledge and also help {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (we) to see more about the world.

    However, it also has some {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (advantage). People waste too much time in watching TV, so their normal life and work {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (affect). What's worse, to those children {#blank#}6{#/blank#} spend too much time in watching TV, it can be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (harm) to their eyesight and health. As a result, they may become short-sighted or they will find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} difficult to concentrate on their school work.

As far as I am concerned, we should take advantage of the TV and control our time of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (watch) TV In addition, we should choose helpful and instructive TV programs instead {#blank#}10{#/blank#} soap operas (肥皂剧) to watch.

    I grew up in one of the poorest communities on the south side of Atlanta, US and was raised by a single mother who didn't finish 3rd grade. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect something of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard and put it up in my room. Being at Harvard was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I dreamt about all the time though many people thought it was far {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my reach. I would bum the midnight oil,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (bury) in piles of books. I'd begin my day by asking myself these two questions, "What do I want in my life?" and "Are the things I am doing today going to get me closer to that life?"

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (remind) myself of my goal each made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn't have taken me closer to my goal. Asking myself those questions gave me the courage and energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit（提交）just one more scholarship {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (apply) when 180 others had already turned me down.

    On March 31st, 2011, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} email arrived from Harvard. The first word was "Congratulations!" A

    month later, Harvard invited me to visit the campus {#blank#}8{#/blank#} for the first time I got to see inside Sanders Theater, tour Widener Library and eat dinner in Annenberg Hall. I couldn't wait to start my {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (explore) here.

    Who you are today is the result of the decisions that {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) earlier, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow?

    Dogs are the best friends of man. It is a good idea to give them training. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (actual), training a dog is very different from training humans. Of course, you have to deal with some characteristics of your dog at first.

    Dog training is not really {#blank#}2{#/blank#} easy task. You must be {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(patience) and work hard. Dog training is the process of teaching them how {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(follow) some basic orders, do tricks, hunt and so on. There is a lot of specific training that you can give your dog. But, if you are still a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(begin), the process could be a bit difficult.

    Look for guides and try to figure out {#blank#}6{#/blank#} would be a good way to train your dog. With the help of these guides, you can save time {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(learn) what you should do, especially if the guides {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(write) by expert dog trainers.

    Training it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(you) will take more time than hiring someone to train it for you. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} this training is your chance to get closer to your dog, and the results is worth your effort.

What's the right college for you?

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) the college you're considering offer classes and learning opportunities {#blank#}2{#/blank#} interest you? You don't need to declare a college major until your junior year of college—but you're more likely {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(succeed) if you're excited about and engaged by the options available to you.

    Consider{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (you) learning style: do you prefer informative lectures or lively discussions?

    Research and analysis or hands-on experience and practice? Writing papers or working in small groups?

    Look for the academic experience you'll need to feel {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(challenge) and engaged, and what support you'll need for success—peer tutoring, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(access) professors, and career services are just some of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} options you might find on campus. Check out course and program {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(describe), reviews of professors, and sit in on some classes if you're able to visit campus.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(assess) your chances of admission can be a good way to identify a strong academic match. Most admissions counselors tell us that your GPA and the quality of your high school classes are the most important elements of your college application, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}standardized test scores not far behind.
