1.Can a fish be depressed?This question has been floating around my head ever since I saw a sad-looking Siamese fighting fish in a hotel.His name was Bruce Lee,according to a sign beneath his little bowl.
On the bottom of the little bowl was Bruce Lee,totally still,his lower fin(鰭) somewhat injured.When he did finally move,just slightly,I got the sense that he would prefer to be dead.
The pleasant woman at the front desk convinced me that he was well taken care of.Was I simply incorrectly supposing his lethargy was a sign of mental suffering?
Later on,I sought answers from scientists.It turns out that not only can our gilled(有鰓的) friends become depressed,but some scientists consider fish to be a promising animal model for developing anti-depressants.New research has been completely changing the way scientists think about fish,building a case that pet and owner are not nearly as different as many suppose.
Dr.Pittman likes working with fish,in part,because they are so obvious about their depression.He can reliably test the effectiveness of anti-depressants with something called the "novel tank test." A zebra fish gets dropped in a new tank.If after five minutes it is hanging out in the lower half,it's depressed.If it's swimming up top - its usual behaviour when exploring a new environment - then it's not.The seriousness of the depression,he says,can be measured by quantity of time at the top vs.the bottom,all of which seemed to confirm my guess about Bruce Lee.
"One of the things we're finding that fish are naturally curious and seek novel things out," said Dr.Braithwaite.
In other words,your goldfish is probably bored.To help prevent them from depression,she suggests introducing new objects to the tank(缸) or changing the location of items.
Dr.Brown agrees,pointing to an experiment he conducted,which showed that if you leave a fish in an enriched,physically complex environment - meaning a lot of plants to bite at and cages to swim through - it decreases stress and increases brain growth.
The last time a guest posted Bruce Lee to Instagram he was looking good and lively Perhaps that new green leaf in his bowl had provided the enrichment he desired.

2.Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and maintain a healthy lifestyle.Group exercise is challenging,yet fun and empowering!Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However,studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups,it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health.It's an opportunity to be social,release endorphins(內啡肽),and improve your strength.Additionally,group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard.The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor.Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves.If you feel you can relate,then group training is an even better option for you.It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision of a fitness instructor.If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored,you can attend a cheerful group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track.Don't let fitness frighten you!
If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle,it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support.I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health.Surround yourself with people who uplift,encourage and understand you!Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class,with a friend.Plan to go for a jog together.Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar!Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect and support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals.First,decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive.Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive.Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.

4.The Trans-Siberian Railway is a single train line that crosses nearly the complete length of Russia,from Moscow to Vladivostok.It covers a total of 5,772 miles,running from Europe to Asia.Unlike the longest flight in the world,which just began transporting passengers in 2018,the Trans-Siberian Railway started its business in 1916.
Anyone who has taken this long journey,or even just part of it,will tell you that it travels at a rather slow speed,passing through some amazing,remote areas of Russia.You don't have to make the full journey without stopping.Instead,you're recommended to get off where there are attractive views,since it stops in some pretty fantastic places.But you certainly can take the full journey non-stop.If you do,the trip will take about 144 hours-six full days!
You can book tickets with travel agencies.You can also make the booking online and tickets will be sent to your hotel or personal address.Children under 4 years old accompanied by adults can travel free,but cannot take up a seat.A child ticket needs to be bought if you want to get a seat for the child.
There are longer railway services in the transportation world,but only one of them is a passenger line as some longer routes transport goods,not travellers.This railway may not be the fastest or the most modern,but it's clearly still an important player in the transportation world!
(1)Why is the longest flight mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To compare the two different ways of transport.
B.To state the Trans-Siberian Railway is out of date.
C.To explain how long the Trans-Siberian Railway covers.
D.To show the great history of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
(2)Which of the following statements about the Trans-Siberian Railway is TRUE?

9.閱讀下面材料,根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段,使之構成一篇完整的短文。
During this past year,I've had three instances of car trouble.Each time these things happened,I was sick of the way most people hadn't bothered to help.One of those times,I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep.I put signs in the windows,big signs that said NEED A JACK(千斤頂),and offered money.Nothing.Right as I was about to give up,a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over,and the father bounded out.
He sized up the situation and called for his daughter,who spoke English.He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep,so we would need something to support it.Then he got a saw(鋸子)from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road.We rolled it over and put his jack on top,and we were in business.
I started taking the wheel off,and then,if you can believe it,I broke his tire iron.No worries:He handed it to his wife,and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron.She was back in 15 minutes.We finished the job,and I was a very happy man.
The two of us were dirty and sweaty.His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands.I tried to put a ¥20 bill in the man's hand,but he wouldn't take it,so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could.I asked the little girl where they lived.Mexico,she said.They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks.Then they would go home.
注意:
1.續寫詞數應為150左右;
