Here"s one very simple but lifechanging advice that I first heard from Brian Tracy. Cut down on the TV at night by just one hour. Instead, use that hour to read books that could improve your life.
If you"re a salesman, google for the best and most useful books on improving your sales.
This applies (适用) to all fields, not just the work-related (与工作相关的) ones. Maybe you want to improve your health, become a more energetic person. Or maybe you want to improve your study, your relations or perhaps do some personal development.
One hour a day is not much. But if you read for one hour a day on weekdays, that"s about 260 hours a year. That"s a large number of books and a lot of useful advice.
If you follow the ideas, who knows what great things and feelings could come into your life. Also, all that information and advice will start to open up your mind. You will start to see more chances in your life.
Now, you might think something like this:
1. I really don"t have the money...
Answer: Visit your public library or search the database (数据库). Or look for books that are used in places like amazon.com.

It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can" t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.
Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.
Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys" blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys" brains. When the brain" s temperature was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess(公主)in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator"s(解说者的)part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Though I didn"t tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard. 
It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions(蒲公英)popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches. "I think I am going to dig up all these weeds, "she said. "From now on, we"ll have only roses in this garden. "
"But I like dandelions, "I protested. "All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions!"
My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn"t it?" she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. "And that is true of people, too, " she added. 
When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. 
  “But you will be a beautiful narrator, ”she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. 
Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you, ”she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed. 
小题1:The girl did not play the role of the princess mainly because . 
A.she felt nervous on the stage.
B.she lost her interest in that role.
C.she preferred the role of the narrator
D.she had difficulty memorizing her words
小题2:Why did the mother suggest a walk in the garden?
A.To remove the dandelions
B.To enjoy the garden scene
C.to have a talk with her daughter.
D.to help her daughter with the play.
小题3:What is the main idea of the story?
A. Everybody can find his or her own way to success. 
B. Everybody has his or her own value in the world. 
C. Everybody should learn to play different roles
D Everybody has some unforgettable memory.

When a Swedish ship that sank(沉) in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm, historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past. The ship construction showed how ships were built and operated during the seventeenth century.  In this way, artifacts, objects made by human beings, provided a picture of daily life almost 400 years ago.
Underwater archaeology(考古)-the study of ships, aircraft and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water-is really a product of the last 50 years.  The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment. Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸),underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the  5000-year-old boats in the Mediterranean Sea.
Underwater archaeology can provide facts abut the past. In ancient ports all over the world are ships sunken in the past 6, 000 years.  There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of people’s way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times. Underwater archaeologists want to study these objects to add to the world"s knowledge of history, but they have to fight two enemies.  One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors.  Once sold, these objects are lost to experts.  The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机)often used to repair ports. These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud. By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past, archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.
小题1:What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?
A.To provide background information of the topic
B.To attract readers" attention to the topic
C.To use an example to support the topic
D.To offer basic knowledge of the topic
小题2:The aim of underwater archaeology is to    .
A.exploit(开发)water bodies B.search for underwater life
C.study underwater artifacts D.examine underwater environment
小题3:Underwater archaeologists are worried because_____.
A.sea hunters have better diving equipment 
B.their knowledge of world history is limited 
C.dredging machines cause damage to the ports 
D.sold artifacts can hardly be regained for research
小题4:What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce a young branch(分支) of learning.
B.To discuss the scientists’ problems.  
C.To explain people’s way of life in the past.  
D.To describe the sunken ships.

Blogs (博客) are the place where young people go to show their hearts, to express their anger, sorrow or disappointment, and even to gossip (说别人的闲话).
Many people enjoy the freedom in blogging. Some, however, find that putting one’s life online can have a price. The blogs of some students in America were stopped by the government for some time because they posted threatening words to their teachers on their blogs.
A recent study finds that nearly a fifth of teens who surf the Internet have their own blogs. And 38 % of teens say they read other people’s blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other people’s online magazines.
With the development of the Internet, more and more people will be attracted by blogging.
In another study, 79% of teens agree that people at their age aren’t careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. Besides, careless blogging can also influence blog readers. When you are angry or unhappy, your blog is the first place you turn to. The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret later. To minimize (使减到最小) the negative influence, change the safety setting and make such posts “personal” so that only you can read them.
As long as you are careful with what you post, blogging is a great means of staying in touch with friends and displaying one’s creative works.
小题1:Blogs are the place where people __________.
A.go online to have a chat
B.go online to enjoy freedom
C.exchange their views online
D.go online to express themselves freely
小题2:The fact that some American students’ blogs were stopped is used to show that __________.
A.people should not put their life online
B.American students are limited in blogging
C.anyone who gets on the Web has his blog
D.people should be careful with what they write
小题3:The underlined word “rational” in the fifth paragraph probably means __________.
A.strangeB.perfect
C.helpfulD.reasonable
小题4:The passage is mainly about __________.
A.the use people make of blogs
B.the number of people who have blogs
C.advantages and disadvantages of blogs
D.the author’s suggestions about blogging
