10．请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．
Every year，when new school year begins，many Chinese parents of freshmen（大学一年级新生） insist on accompanying their children to universities．Other than proudly witnessing the moment when their children step into universities，parents insist that they should assist with any unexpected problems their children might face．
In order to teach incoming freshmen their first lesson in independence，Tsinghua University has set up a"parents-restricted"area where students have to go through the enrollment （入学）procedure all by themselves．On social networking sites like www．renren．com，students are inviting their peers to go to university together，not only for safety，but also to avoid parents'overprotection．
写作内容
1．用约30个单词概括上述信息的主要内容；
2．用约120个单词阐述你对"家长送孩子上大学"这一现象的看法，并用2～3个理由或论据支撑你的看法．
写作要求
1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；
2．作文中不能直接出现真实姓名和学校名称；
3．不必写标题．
Every year，there are many freshmen in China who are accompanied by their parents to college enrollment．However，Tsinghua University and some social networking sites encourage students to go it alone or with their peers．
In my opinion，it's unnecessary for parents to follow their children to universities．Children shouldn't be spoiled and letting them enroll alone is a good opportunity to develop their self-reliance ability．After all，they have to learn to e independent and take care of themselves when they are far away from their parents．Besides，it's a good idea for new college students to invite their peers as their travelling companions．Chances are that they will make friends with each other．Therefore，the fewer accompanying parents there are，the better，so students will become more independent and their social skills will be improved．As for parents，they are expressing their true love when they let their children go．．

20．It was a short flight from Shanghai to Xi'an．Xi'an is one of the four great ancient capitals of China（61）withover 3，100 years of history．Its ancient walls date from the Ming Dynasty and are the best（62）preserved（preserve） in the world．There are bicycles for people to hire．It is （63）amazing（amaze） to ride along the walls to survey this fascinating city．
The Tang Dynasty Music and Dance show is not to be missed，but my favorite is an art gallery，（64）wherewe can enjoy some beautiful artwork and learn how to write Chinese characters．
Most tourists make （65）theirway to Xi'an to see the life-size terracotta warriors （兵马俑） and we were no （66）different（difference）．The collection，which shows the armies of the first Emperor of China，（67）remained（remain） hidden until 1974 when they were discovered by a farmer sinking a well．Walking among the statues is forbidden unless you are a VIP-but there are plenty of souvenir （68）shops（shop） in which tourists can buy the replicas（复制品）of them．
All too soon it was time （69）to leave（leave）．I really enjoyed my stay in Xi'an．It is indeed a place of interest worth （70）asecond visit．

7．Anyone who has ever played the game of Tetris （俄罗斯方块） knows the game's surreal ability to spill into real life．After you shut off the game，you still see those Tetris blocks falling in your mind．You're grocery shopping and find yourself thinking about rearranging items on grocery shelves．Your mind continues to play the game，even when you're physically not．
Robert Stickgold，a Harvard professor，noticed something similar after a day hiking a mountain．That night，he dreamt he was still going through the motions of mountain hiking．Curious about this，he tried something：he got a group of college students of various skill levels to play Tetris and let them sleep in the Harvard sleep lab．
Over 60% of the students，including those who suffered from amnesia （键忘症），reported dreams of images of Tetris pieces falling，rotating （旋转），and fitting together．Interestingly，half the Tetris expert students reported such Tetris dreams，while 75% of the beginners did．
A study found that playing Tetris can grow your brain and make it more efficient．Adolescent girls played the game for an average of 1.5hours a week over three months．The cerebral cortex （大脑皮层） of the girls grew thicker，while brain activity in other areas decreased．Richard Haier，who had found that there was a"Tetris learning effect"，in which the brain consumed less energy as mastery of the game rose，concluded，"The brain is learning which areas not to use．"
Haier's study showed that as the girls practiced playing the game，nerve cells made connections，communicating through synapses （a synapse is a connection between two nerve cells）．When you learn something，you change those connections．Every time you reactivate（激活） a circuit，synaptic efficiency increases，and connections become more durable and easier to reactivate．Stickgold says sleep plays a role in this memory process．
So to sum up，whenever you do specific tasks over and over again，they take up less of your brain power over time．And that's pretty amazing．

4．Nobody wants to reach the end of their life and experience regret．Instead，we desire to experience satisfaction with the life we've been given．（36）FTo live a life without regret in the future，you should try to stay away from the following four common unhealthy habits．
（37）DIt is good to have a destination to go to but it is the journey that matters in the end．Too often，we live our lives from destination to destination．But life is not lived merely in these destinations．In fact，it is far more often lived in the pathways between them．We should appreciate the joy in the journey rather than always hurry to the next destination．
Be defined by your negative circumstances．Each morning we are born again．What we do today is what matters most．This is an important truth and an important promise．Our lives should not be defined by the negative circumstances that happened in our past．They may have affected our lives，but they do not write the final chapter．（38）C
Focus entirely on yourself．The size of our universe becomes smaller considerably when we place ourselves at the center．（39）GOn the contrary，those who see their life as an opportunity to bring joy to others quickly find it themselves．
（40）BEvery excess （过量） adds burden to our lives．And yet we continue to pursue and accumulate more than we need-more houses，more cars，more clothes，and more dishes．Owning less means less cleaning，less burden，less anxiety，and less stress each day．It provides the space and opportunity to pursue the things in life that bring lasting satisfaction to our lives．

A．Blame everybody else．
B．Carry more than you need．
C．It is we ourselves who hold the pen．
D．Miss the joy of the journey for the destination．
E．Only a fool believes the wide road is necessarily the right road．
F．The fact is that too many people experience regret at the lives they chose to live．
