One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will hardly achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed（失望的） and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.

Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.

Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.

In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of reaching our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.

Topic: Never Give Up

The smog, covering 1.43 million square kilometers mainly in northern China, made the Beijing government give an orange alert - the second-highest warning - and ordered people not to leave their homes.

A study in 2013 by researchers at Tsinghua University said that there were more than 1,300 microbes(可吸入顆粒) in the atmosphere over Beijing. Although most of them may do no harm to human health, the number still makes people worried.

Zhuang Guoshun, director of the Center for Atmospheric Chemistry Study at Fudan University, said Beijing is covered by smog for an average of 60 percent of the year, while the number for Shanghai is 30 to 50 percent.

However, research studies have found that higher air pollution levels do not exactly mean higher risks of early death or other health illnesses.

One of the scientists' main attentions is the level of PM2.5 - floating matter of 2.5 microns (微米)or smaller, which can go deep into the lungs(肺) and even enter the blood.

Guangzhou and Shanghai in the south of China have slightly higher relative risks to early death from the effects of PM2.5 than Xi'an and Beijing in the north, even though the levels of PM2.5 in the northern cities were nearly twice those in the south, according to a study published in September 2013, led by Pan Xiaochuan, a professor at Peking University's School of Public Health.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The topics on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.

Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Topics are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.

Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech about the general idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main audience are middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with life's tough problems.

Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are people around 20 years old whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex , money and drugs. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned throung the talk shows.

【1】Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are ________.

A. more interesting B. unusually popular

C. more detailed D. more formal

【2】Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows ________.

A. show disbelief in them B. are ready to face the problems

C. remain cold to them D. are willing to get away from them

【3】Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

A. A new type of robot. B. National hatred (憎恨).

C. Family income planning. D. Street accident.

【4】We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows _________________.

A. have become the only one of its kind B. shows the weakness in human nature

C. appear at different times of the day D. attract different people
