     A few years ago my sister moved from her home in Alabama to Buffalo, New York. Since moving to
Buffalo she's become a big hockey fan and has encouraged me to start watching it. Unfortunately it's very difficult to find hockey on television here in Alabama. Since hockey games don't air very much on television  I've had to look for different ways to watch hockey games.
     I often see websites that claim if you go to their website you can watch television on your computer. I
try out many of these websites hoping that one of the television stations is a northern station that airs
hockey games. Unfortunately, most of them don't work. Either the site doesn't really give you what they
advertise or their video player doesn't work properly. But finally I've found one websites that actually
works.
     Free Tube is a site that you can go to and watch Television online for free. You don't have to
download any kind special software or pay money or even sign up for anything. All you have to do is go
to Free Tube, choose your channel and start watching.
      The different channels to choose from are separated into different categories like news, business,
entertainment, music and sports. You're not going to find channels like NBC or ABC so you can watch
the latest episode of Heroes or Grey's Anatomy but it does include some popular channels like Cartoon Network and ESPN.
      There is also a movie section. Each move channel airs different sorts of films like adventure, classics,
comedy or horror and that channel will always air that kind of movies. The movie section also includes
my favorite station called Maxx Trailers (預(yù)告片). Maxx Trailers airs nothing but movies trailers 24
hours a day. Some of the trailers are for movies coming out and some are for movies that have already
been released but already released movies don't go back farther than a couple of months.
     So far I haven't had any problems with Free Tube's video player either. Whenever I choose a channel
the video almost always works and usually loads every quickly. The only problem I have with Free Tube
is that there is currently a glitch if you're using Firefox. Once you choose a channel you can't select
another channel to change to, your web browser will freeze up. So if you're using Firefox the only way to
switch channels is to leave the site and re-enter the site, when choose what channel you want to go to.
However, Free Tube is aware of this glitch and is working with Mozilla to get it fixed right away.
     If you're missing some show everyone is talking about like Grey's Anatomy or Heroes this isn't really
a solution for that. But Free Tube is a good way to find channels that you weren't aware of; there are
several good stations to be found.

1. The author mainly ________ in this passage.

A. tells us his experience in using the Web.
B. introduces Free Tube to the readers

2. The author got interested in watching hockey games ________

A. because he is a sports fan
B. due to his sister's influence
C. since everyone enjoys the games

A. You'll have to pay if you watch films on Free Tube.
B. You'll have to fix special software on your computer to visit Free Tube.
C. Users have to sign up their user's name first.
D. Channels are divided into different categories on Free Tube.

4. Form the passage we can learn that _________

A. the author is also very fond of movies

A. Interest and importance
B. Positive expectation
C. People can't have perfect memory.
D. Memory is an active process.
E. A relaxed mind helps memory.
F. Control depression.
1._____
     Most of us express dissatisfaction with our memory, especially when we want to recall some detai
l and we can't.Some examples are, an address or a telephone number, the time of a meeting,
somebody's name, etc.Even people who I think have an excellent memory, complain that they forget
things.Memory works like a bank.You can get to it, only if you put it there.If you didn't deposit it, you
can't collect it when you need it.It is described what we need to do to improve our memory in this article.
2. ____
    Recall of a particular event or detail depends on the interest we take and the importance we assign
to that detail or event, at the time when it is taking place.We remember so much more about people,
places, and topics which fascinate us.When you are greatly interested in a subject, you pay close
attention and your brain releases chemicals to form deeper "imprints" on the cells that store memory.
3.  ____
     The more active attention you pay, the more details you observe, the more you think, reason, and
comprehend, the more associations you make of what you know with what you are trying to learn, the
more you will retain and be able to recall, later on.Good memory is a state of the active mind.
4. _____
     Learn with a relaxed mind.Recall the learned material with a relaxed mind.Let's take as an example
a situation where you misplace your car keys.If you get too anxious about yourself in trying to recall
something, as is the case in this example, you are in for frustration.But, if you relax your mind, and
calmly go through the events backward, you are more likely to remember where you left them.
5. _____
     Depression can make the interest and joy less in the events surroundings us.As a result, too little
energy is left to recall anything.Some depressed persons become more anxious and depressed thinking,
"I have lost my mind." Once depression is treated, memory as a general rule, returns to the normal.
