In fact, leaving the puter not only seems pointless but also risks a threat by some rival mouse potato in brighter time zone across the world. For time off, they usually perform extensive Internet searches or participate in online chat rooms, leaving illinformed and badly spelt opinions around the virtual world, and generally insulting one’s intelligence.事實上，離開電腦不僅毫無意義，而且會是你收到世界上較亮時區(qū)的鼠標土豆對手的威脅。休息時間，他們通常廣泛搜索互聯(lián)網(wǎng)或加入在線聊天室，在虛擬世界到處留下缺乏見識和拼寫拙劣的意見，一般來說也是對人家智力的侮辱。5. 整天把自己埋在書本里是沒有用的。要培養(yǎng)一些業(yè)余愛好，每隔一段時間參加一些體育鍛煉或課外活動。勞逸結合才是健康的學習習慣。( it’s no use doing sth。 take up。 at intervals。 extracurricular activities)It’s no use burying yourselves in books all day.

It may well be that under his influence more and more people in the munity joined in to bee volunteers.8. 我以前看電視連續(xù)劇常?？吹缴钜?，這太費時間，還影響我的健康和體型。為了避免誘惑，我把電視機搬出了我的屋子，開始從事別的休閑活動，比如讀書、彈鋼琴。(risk。 take up)I used to watch TV series late into the night, which took up too much time and risked my health and shape.

They were a bit unorganized, which could have been improved with better munication between the local agencies and VFP. The best part was bonding with the volunteers, and the agencies did a good job in varying our tasks… We got to know the locals. Every time I think about riding through the rice fields, being invited in for tea, it makes me smile.他們做事不太有條理，如果地方機構和志愿者組織之間能夠更好的相互溝通的話，事情就會順利一些。最好的經歷是與其他志愿者建立友情，地方機構盡量給我們分配不同任務……我們開始了解當?shù)厝?。每當想起汽車穿過稻田，硬要去當?shù)厝思液炔璧那榫?，我都會微笑?. 如今對中國的中學畢業(yè)生而言，上大學已經不是什么太困難的事情了，因為現(xiàn)在大學的數(shù)量已經是二十年前的三倍。但是，要被一流大學錄取，你還是要比同齡人有更強的競爭力才行。(times…as many…)Nowadays in china, it’s no longer so hard for high school graduates to go to university, because there are three times as many universities as there were 20 years ago.

I have to acknowledge that I am now spending more time doing parttime jobs to save up for the project, which makes me feel a shortage of time.8. 不同的運動在身高、年齡、力量、耐力等方面對參加者有不同的要求。因此有多少種運動就有多少種類型的運動員。想?yún)⒓舆\動的人總能找到合適的項目。(in terms of。 as many …as。 no doubt)Different sports have different requirements in terms of height, age, strength and stamina/endurance.
