Mark Twain always loved toplayjokes/tricksonhis friends，and they all liked him．

1．One Sunday，my family had gathered at my parents'house to feast upon Mom's wonderful cooking．During the normal dinner chatter，I noticed that my father was slurring （说话含混）his words．No one mentioned this during dinner，but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward．We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor．
Mom phoned me two days later．"The doctor found a brain tumor （肿瘤）．It's too large at this point to operate．Maybe they can do something then，but the odds are long．"
Even with the treatment，my father's condition worsened，and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal．During one of his stays in the hospital，we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him．By this time he had great difficulty speaking．I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her．
Watching the two of them together，I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever．Though grateful for the times they could share，I couldn't shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background．
On the visit to my parents'home during what we all know was my father's last days，my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced，"Your father would like to see you alone for a minute．"
I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed．He appeared even weaker than the day before．
"How are you feeling，Dad？"I asked．"Can I do anything for you？"
He tried to speak，but he couldn't make out a word．
"I'm sorry，but I can't understand you．"I said．
With great difficulty he said，"I love you．"
We don't learn courage from heroes on the evening news．We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations．In many ways my father was a strict，uncommunicative man．He found it difficult to show emotion．The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life．

Dear Ralph，
I am an university student．I once thought life at the university must be excellent，but now I changed my mind．I have three roommates，and I was the last one to move into the dormitory．Last term，I got along peacefully and happy．But I find they are not willing to be with me now．They don't talk with me，and they've become cold toward me．Many time，I have wanted to talk with them about how I felt，and I failed to find an opening．When leaving alone，I always recall this sadness．But I am an honest student．Why don't I win true friendship？
Yours sincerely，
John．

18．Even before my father left us，my mother had to go back to work to support our family．Once I came out of the kitchen，complaining，"Mum，I can't peel potatoes．I have only one hand．"
Mum never looked up from sewing．"You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes，"she told me．"And don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"
In the second grade，our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars，swinging from one high steel rod to the next．When it was my turn，I shook my head．Some kids behind me laughed，and I went home crying．
That night I told Mum about it．She hugged me，and saw her"we'll see about that"look ．The next afternoon，she took me back to school．At the deserted playground，mum looked carefully at the bars．
"Now，pull up with your right arm，"she advised．She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow．Day after day we practiced，and she praised me for every rung I reached．
I'll never forget the next time，crossing the rungs； I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open．
One night，after a dance at my new junior high，I lay in bed sobbing．I could hear Mum came into my room．"Mum，"I said，weeping，"none of the boys would dance with me．"
For a long time，I didn't hear anything．Then she said，"Oh，honey，someday you'll be beating those boys off with a bat．"Her voice was faint and cracking．I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks．Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf．She had never let me see her tears．

5．Roughly half of college students will have some degree of depression at some point during their time in school．Even more startling 6.2percent of college students surveyed in 2012considered suicide and 1.3percent attempted it，according to an American College Health Association study released this spring．If you're feeling depressed on campus，you may find the following tips helpful．
Exercise：Physical activity releases endorphins-chemicals that produce an overall positive feeling within the body，which fight depression naturally．Mental health experts claim that exercise is a solution to those feeling mild or moderate depression．However，for those severely depressed，simply doing sports is not enough．
Use school counseling services：Campuses don't employ mental health experts simply to throw thousands of dollars down the drain．Their job is to help students，so experts recommend you use them．Most students，however，are hesitant to take a trip to their college's counseling center，fearing being laughed at by peers．As a result，some schools like Texas Christian University，are testing students for mental health problems when they get sick and visit the campus health clinic．
Take advantage of technology：Staying in touch with family members and friends from childhood and high school has become easier than ever with the coming of Facebook and video chat services like Skype．While mental health experts insist that it's important to make friends in your new environment and be involved in the college community，it's also significant to keep in touch with the people you knew before college．
Go to sleep：Following a fairly regular sleep pattern can defend you against depression．In college，many students'sleep patterns are irregular thanks to late-night studying and partying，which is harmful to their mental health．Research strongly suggests that sleep is the key to learning and memory formation．

24．According to the passage，physical activityB．
A．is regarded as the best way to fight depression
B．contributes to the release of endorphins

A．enables students to get involved in college life
