In today’s fast paced，high stress world people are working longer hours than ever, and often exhaust themselves at day’s end in front of the television to relax enough to begin again in the morning. However, television watching, for most people, does not really lower stress. Studies show that TV viewing more than an hour or so actually creates stress and, especially in women, may lead to the blues. Most individuals are unaware that doing some exercise after work makes them more energetic since it increases energy levels.
Wise use of free time does not mean getting an advanced degree, although the mental encouragement gained through education is unbeatable in keeping your mind active. Learning new things nearly always adds a spark to your daily life, especially if it is a favorite topic, such as sport, fashion, or art. Also, look through your bookstore or library to find books on your interests. Try to replace a half hour TV watching with reading.X
It is reported that in the United States recently, many individuals have as few as two good friends. Long work hours and car commute act to separate people from each other. This separation is deadly. Find ways to meet people at the end of the day and on weekends. Often this call be best done by combining activities, such as by joining a walking group to get both exercise and companionship. Taking a class will lift your spirits and allow you to meet others with similar interests. Hobbies are great for reducing stress and provide another opportunity for social interaction.
Using your free time to aid your health may include these elements and many more, such as going to concerts and spending time with family. Overall, the key is to spend less free time being passive. The best ways to use free time are to be mentally and physically active, spend some time outdoors, and interact with other people on a regular basis.

解析
试题分析：在今天的快节奏、高压力的世界人们工作时间更长，而且经常放松自己在一天结束的时候，在电视机前放松到早上重新开始。然而，对于大多数人来说,看电视其实并不降低压力。研究表明，看电视超过一个小时左右实际上造成了压力，尤其是女性。大多数人都不知道下班后做一些运动使他们更有活力，因为它会增加能量水平。利用你的空闲时间帮助你的健康可能包括这些元素，比如去音乐会和花时间和家人在一起。总的来说，关键是要花更少的被动的时间。使用空闲时间的最好方法是精神上和肉体上活跃，花一些时间在户外，并定期与他人互动。

As my friend was passing some elephants，he suddenly stopped．He was confused by the fact that these huge animals were being held by nothing but a small rope．The rope was tied to their front legs． It was that the elephants could break away from the ropes at any time．But for some ，they did not．
My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there and didn"t to get away．
“Well，” he said，“when they are very and much smaller，we use the same size rope to tie them．At that age，it"s enough to hold them．As they grow up，they are used to that they cannot break away．They believe the rope can hold them，so they never try to break free．”
My friend was amazed．These animals could at any time break free， because they believed they couldn"t，they were stuck right where they were．
