With golden sunshine and a gentle breeze（微风）,...

With golden sunshine and a gentle breeze（微风）, autumn is the most beautiful seasons in the year. This is a great time to go outside and have fun. Go to a valley to see red maple trees,go and pick fruit in an orchard or find an open field to fly your kite in.

However, for many high school students, these great activities may be just a dream. With plenty of work to do, they spend all their hours indoors, struggling for a high mark in their exams. Of course, study is one of the most important things for teenagers. But life is definitely much more than that.

Sometimes we spend so much time studying that we forget how to make life wonderful. In doing so, we lose the real purpose of life —to be a valuable and happy person. To enjoy just how great it is to be alive, we have to put down our books and pens and look around us. Students, take some exercise to improve your health, talk with your parents and friends for understanding and walk around outside to refresh（振作）our body and mind.

Going out and enjoying the beautiful countryside often helps our creativity in our work. Chinese craftsman, Lu Ban created a saw to help woodworkers. But if he hadn’t walked outside, he would not have been inspired by a kind of toothed（锯齿状的）grass. We could also suppose if Newton hadn’t rested under that apple tree, then he wouldn’t have been hit by an apple, and his classic（经典的）theories would not have come out.

Going out is not only a break from hard work, but a chance to add to life experience. So come on, give your brain a good rest. Step out of the books and get your bag ready for an autumn outing. We are sure you will get much more than knowledge from the exciting journey.

1.In which paragraph does the writer make a summary about his opinion?

A.Paragraph 1. B.Paragraph 2.

C.Paragraph 4. D.Paragraph 5.

2.Why is going out a dream for many high school students?

A.They are unhappy to do so.

B.They have too much work to do for getting high marks in the exams.

C.Their parents don’t allow them to do so.

D.They think study is the most important thing for them.

3.The passage is developed mainly by______________.

A.describing the beautiful scenery in Autumn

B.pointing out the present situation of high school students

C.making predictions

D.reasoning and giving examples

4.What message can you learn from the passage?

A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer’s hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火红的) ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.

The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. “It’s getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.”

She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three missing-day. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent so many happy days with her family. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.

It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold, too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on — it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... . It all seemed deserted. She couldn’t understand what was going on.

She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said, “Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking.” Ellen was her mother but — where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents’ room. She went in. Then she saw her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn’t slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different... she wasn’t in her mother’s room and she wasn’t wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her snug bed in her pajamas (睡衣).

It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, “Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared.”

2.How did Jennifer probably feel when she came back home?

A. a, b, c           B. a, c, e              C. b, c, e             D. d, e, f

3.The underlined word “snug” in the last paragraph means ______.

Looking up at the golden red sun ball, she was surprised by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.

The atmosphere relaxed her. This was what she needed. “It’s getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.” She wondered how her parents would react when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself to bungalow 163, where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently.

Autumn is a time when nature prepares to test and it is just the same with many people.With less energy or strength they have no desire to meet with friends after work，preferring to sit still in front of the television before going to bed early.And the next morning they find it hard to get up, too.

For most people, this period of time passes without any major effects, but a small minority suffer from complete winter depression(压抑)．Apart from tiredness and without energy, the latter often has the following symptoms(症状)．

They have an increased need for sleep and also for sweet food like chocolate.Normally, depression is along with difficulty in falling asleep and loss of appetite(胃口)．

True winter depression exists when the symptoms occur repeatedly in autumn and winter.Moreover, they have to last at least two weeks.Symptoms of winter depression begin for northern hemisphere(北半球)countries in October, November or December, and reduce in January.The symptoms decrease when the days grow longer again.

Lack of light during the cold months is the cause of people's depression.

To reduce the bad effect of the winter depression, sufferers should spend as much time outdoors as possible.Exercise is also a tested cure for depression.A regular sleep wake cycle can help too, and sufferers should stick to it even at weekends.By getting up early, they can receive more daylight regardless of the weather.
