(重复 2019年3月9日)

参考思路

选择丢掉：

1.保持一个清爽的环境，心情好。旧物品很占位置，如果全部都留着，比如房子里堆满了书，抽屉里全是不用的电子设备，衣柜里也满是衣服，心情肯定非常不好。

2.旧东西已经没有太大的作用了。比如旧报纸和旧书里的信息都是过时的，如果真的需要相关知识，可以上网搜索，毕竟现在网络非常方便及发达。

选择保留：

1.有些旧物品代表着一段美好的回忆。比如说，一本书/一部手机/一台电脑是家人或朋友在生日时送的礼物，看到这些旧物品时，能想起一段美好的经历，自己会感觉很快乐。

2.旧物品依然有用，比如旧手机，尤其在自己新手机出现问题后，可以先拿旧手机救急。

Your university plans to restrict the use of the Internet to research only and to no longer allow access to personal e-mail and social media websites on library computers. Do you think this is a good idea? Please explain why and give specific details to explain.

(重复2017年9月23日）

参考思路：

同意：

1.提高学习效率。因为图书馆本身就是用来学习的，在图书馆上网看社交网站，和朋友发电子邮件，很多时候，都是花很长时间，导致自己该做的作业没有做完，有时还得熬夜补作业。

2.不打扰别人。图书馆本身应该是个安静的地方，每个人都有义务维持好的学习环境，如果上社交网站比如微博，看搞笑短视频时会忍不住发笑或者分享给周边的人，会很吵，影响周围人学习。
