Addictin t watching seven episdes f Friends r “wasting” the afternn watching back-t-back classic baseball games isn’t ging t melt ur brains. In fact, studies suggest that “playing a vide game r watching a mvie r televisin shw can restre sme psychlgical resurces,” says Rbin Nabi, PhD, a prfessr f cmmunicatin at the University f Califrnia, Santa Barbara, wh specializes in the effects f media n emtins.
Thugh the benefits have yet t be studied lng-term and ur prblems dn’t magically disappear nce we turn ff the tube, rest can reduce stress levels. Giving urselves permissin t enjy sme dwntime is als a key part f self-sympathy, which helps prevent anxiety and depressin.
“We dn’t fcus as much n relaxatin and playing and enjyment and fun, and these are such imprtant aspects f being a human being,” says Nabi. “And feeling guilty abut activities we enjy, r criticizing them, can take away the benefits they ffer us.”
Therefre, it’s time t embrace ur need fr pleasure. One big reasn t d s is that talking abut ur cmmn interests and pursuits, whatever they may be, is a way t cnnect with thers. The mst imprtant value f a guilty pleasure might just be the bnd it can create between peple wh share it. Yu’ll never find thse cnnectins if yu dn’t speak up. S stp aplgizing. Yu might just find that it reduces any remaining guilt and makes it easier t discver mre things yu enjy.
“Lts f the time, guilty pleasures get talked abut in terms f categry,” says Nabi. But it can help t think abut what yu like specifically, she pints ut. “Yu prbably dn’t like all by bands, s what is it abut this particular grup and their music? Whatever it is, find yur little niche and g fr that. And dn’t be ashamed f what that is, because clearly it’s ding smething fr yu.”
28. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the passage?
A. By listing examples.B. By giving definitins.
C. By making a cntrast.D. By prviding backgrund infrmatin.
29. What des Nabi think f peple’s guilty feeling abut pleasure?
A. It is nrmal.B. It is beneficial.
C. It is cnfusing.D. It is unnecessary.
30. What des the underlined wrd “niche” in the last paragraph refer t?
A. A jb smene is respnsible fr.
B. An activity suitable fr smene.
C. A pleasure bringing smene guilt.
D. A small case smene cares little abut.
31. Which f the fllwing pinins wuld the authr agree with?
A. Stay away frm guilty pleasures.
B. Dn’t be addicted t entertainment.
C. Develp new hbbies t reduce pressure.
D. View ur demand fr pleasure psitively.

Althugh wmen nw earn mre degrees than men, all is nt well with them. Wmen undergraduates are just as likely as men t have a drinking prblem. And they are mre likely t have anxiety disrders and t be clinically depressed.
After 46 years f cllege teaching, I still give clleges an “F” factr—a factr that plays a majr rle in female students’ well-being: fathers. As dcumented in my research ver the past 30 years, daughters wh have strng, supprtive relatinships with fathers generally earn better grades, enter mre STEM prfessins, and they are als mre emtinally resilient.
Mrever, well-fathered wmen reap these benefits regardless f their family’s incme. It is wrth nting that students frm wealthier families d nt have better relatinships with their parents than students frm less well-ff families.
Then, t, cllege-educated parents are the mst likely t spil their children—especially their daughters, leaving them becming the fragile “snwflake” students wh melt t easily under stress and rely t ften n their parents r cllege persnnel t slve their prblems. Fr decades, hwever, the research has shwn that fathers are less likely than mthers t be verly prtective “helicpter” parents wh g verbard trying t make life’s path as stress-free as pssible fr children. S hw can clleges and universities imprve their grades n the “F” factr?
First, the curriculum needs t be mre inclusive and less prejudiced against fathers. Fr example, scial science textbks and academic jurnals devte far mre attentin t mthers than t fathers. A less sexist, mre balanced curriculum wuld help remve the myths that wrk against strng father-daughter bnds. Secnd, clleges can make the faculty mre aware f hw their female students’ relatinships with their fathers affect their academic perfrmance and mental health. Third, clleges can create mre events specifically fr fathers and can be mre sensitive t fathers’ needs.
Fr all ur prfessrs and staff members, we are suppsed t be cnscius that supprting the “father factr” in these ways can give wmen students’ mental health a much-needed bst. And it can als ffer us anther valuable resurce t help deal with the challenges that might lie ahead.
32. What d we knw abut well-fathered female students?
A. They dn’t have a drinking prblem.
B. They gain advantages in varius aspects.
C. They usually cme frm wealthier families.
D. They are mre likely t have anxiety disrders.
33. What des the authr think f “helicpter” parents?
A. They are definitely cllege graduates.
B. They are mstly verly prtective fathers.
C. They are seeking fr a stress-free life’s path.
D. They are respnsible fr the “snwflake” children.
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly abut?
A. Measures that clleges can take.
B. Challenges that clleges may face.
C. Suggestins that fathers shuld fllw.
D. Benefits that cllege educatin will bring.
35. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Clleges Get an “F” Factr
B. Clleges Are t Blame fr Prejudice
C. Strng Father-daughter Bnds Matter
D. Fathers Are Best Teachers fr Children

Addictin t watching seven episdes f Friends r “wasting” the afternn watching back-t-back classic baseball games isn’t ging t melt ur brains. In fact, studies suggest that “playing a vide game r watching a mvie r televisin shw can restre sme psychlgical resurces,” says Rbin Nabi, PhD, a prfessr f cmmunicatin at the University f Califrnia, Santa Barbara, wh specializes in the effects f media n emtins.
Thugh the benefits have yet t be studied lng-term and ur prblems dn’t magically disappear nce we turn ff the tube, rest can reduce stress levels. Giving urselves permissin t enjy sme dwntime is als a key part f self-sympathy, which helps prevent anxiety and depressin.
“We dn’t fcus as much n relaxatin and playing and enjyment and fun, and these are such imprtant aspects f being a human being,” says Nabi. “And feeling guilty abut activities we enjy, r criticizing them, can take away the benefits they ffer us.”
Therefre, it’s time t embrace ur need fr pleasure. One big reasn t d s is that talking abut ur cmmn interests and pursuits, whatever they may be, is a way t cnnect with thers. The mst imprtant value f a guilty pleasure might just be the bnd it can create between peple wh share it. Yu’ll never find thse cnnectins if yu dn’t speak up. S stp aplgizing. Yu might just find that it reduces any remaining guilt and makes it easier t discver mre things yu enjy.
“Lts f the time, guilty pleasures get talked abut in terms f categry,” says Nabi. But it can help t think abut what yu like specifically, she pints ut. “Yu prbably dn’t like all by bands, s what is it abut this particular grup and their music? Whatever it is, find yur little niche and g fr that. And dn’t be ashamed f what that is, because clearly it’s ding smething fr yu.”
28. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the passage?
A. By listing examples.B. By giving definitins.
C. By making a cntrast.D. By prviding backgrund infrmatin.
29. What des Nabi think f peple’s guilty feeling abut pleasure?
A. It is nrmal.B. It is beneficial.
C. It is cnfusing.D. It is unnecessary.
30. What des the underlined wrd “niche” in the last paragraph refer t?
A. A jb smene is respnsible fr.
B. An activity suitable fr smene.
C. A pleasure bringing smene guilt.
D. A small case smene cares little abut.
31. Which f the fllwing pinins wuld the authr agree with?
A. Stay away frm guilty pleasures.
B. Dn’t be addicted t entertainment.
C. Develp new hbbies t reduce pressure.
D. View ur demand fr pleasure psitively.

Althugh wmen nw earn mre degrees than men, all is nt well with them. Wmen undergraduates are just as likely as men t have a drinking prblem. And they are mre likely t have anxiety disrders and t be clinically depressed.
After 46 years f cllege teaching, I still give clleges an “F” factr—a factr that plays a majr rle in female students’ well-being: fathers. As dcumented in my research ver the past 30 years, daughters wh have strng, supprtive relatinships with fathers generally earn better grades, enter mre STEM prfessins, and they are als mre emtinally resilient.
Mrever, well-fathered wmen reap these benefits regardless f their family’s incme. It is wrth nting that students frm wealthier families d nt have better relatinships with their parents than students frm less well-ff families.
Then, t, cllege-educated parents are the mst likely t spil their children—especially their daughters, leaving them becming the fragile “snwflake” students wh melt t easily under stress and rely t ften n their parents r cllege persnnel t slve their prblems. Fr decades, hwever, the research has shwn that fathers are less likely than mthers t be verly prtective “helicpter” parents wh g verbard trying t make life’s path as stress-free as pssible fr children. S hw can clleges and universities imprve their grades n the “F” factr?
First, the curriculum needs t be mre inclusive and less prejudiced against fathers. Fr example, scial science textbks and academic jurnals devte far mre attentin t mthers than t fathers. A less sexist, mre balanced curriculum wuld help remve the myths that wrk against strng father-daughter bnds. Secnd, clleges can make the faculty mre aware f hw their female students’ relatinships with their fathers affect their academic perfrmance and mental health. Third, clleges can create mre events specifically fr fathers and can be mre sensitive t fathers’ needs.
Fr all ur prfessrs and staff members, we are suppsed t be cnscius that supprting the “father factr” in these ways can give wmen students’ mental health a much-needed bst. And it can als ffer us anther valuable resurce t help deal with the challenges that might lie ahead.
32. What d we knw abut well-fathered female students?
A. They dn’t have a drinking prblem.
B. They gain advantages in varius aspects.
C. They usually cme frm wealthier families.
D. They are mre likely t have anxiety disrders.
33. What des the authr think f “helicpter” parents?
A. They are definitely cllege graduates.
B. They are mstly verly prtective fathers.
C. They are seeking fr a stress-free life’s path.
D. They are respnsible fr the “snwflake” children.
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly abut?
A. Measures that clleges can take.
B. Challenges that clleges may face.
C. Suggestins that fathers shuld fllw.
D. Benefits that cllege educatin will bring.
35. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Clleges Get an “F” Factr
B. Clleges Are t Blame fr Prejudice
C. Strng Father-daughter Bnds Matter
D. Fathers Are Best Teachers fr Children
