Binge-watching(刷剧) is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession(一连串，连续)．With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet，increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies，people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
This behavior is nothing new.In fact，“binge-watching” has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015.The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it.Often，instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis，an entire series will become available concurrently.Once the episode finishes，many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like” suggestions，or will automatically play the next episode.
However，recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back(一集接一集地)，almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores.Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections—binge eating，binge drinking and binge smoking.All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction.Lindsey Fussell，consumer group director，said，“The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone，with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist，are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?
The countless number of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is，many would say，a good thing.However，when the activity begins to bleed into other areas，causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem.So，what’s the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount，nor too much.After all，as the old proverb says，“A little of what you fancy does you good.”

What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today，for man is slowly changing all the time.
1 Man，even five hundred years ago，was shorter than he is today.Now，on average，men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again，in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so，we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity.As time goes on，however，we shall have to use our brains more and more，and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too：the head，in particular the forehead，will grow larger.
2 In fact，we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand，we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. 3 At the same time，however，our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. 4
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at！ 5 All the same，in spite of all these changes，future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being，with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
A．This may well be true.
B．Let us take an obvious example.
C．Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.
D．These，as a result，are likely to grow weaker.
E．Now how exactly will this great revolution occur?
F．In the future，then，both sexes are likely to be bald.
G．We’re all set to get much taller and thinner，if we want to survive.
While English speakers look back to the time of Shakespeare and Milton 400 years ago as a golden age，Chinese look back far 1.(far)，to the Tang Dynasty 1,200 years ago as their golden age of literature.

Amazing 48,000 poems have survived from the many Tang Dynasty poets.After the Tang，poets struggled 5.(establish) a modern style that was not rooted in the glories of the past.Later the style of the Song Dynasty did become a popular form.So many people enjoy such 6._______ (popular) because it was more fluent and less rigid than that of the Tang.
