The reading passage is talking about three ways to save the endangered Torreya taxifoha, which are definitely denied by the professor in the lecture.
To begin with, reestablishing Torreya in the same location is not a good solution because of the coolest area in the northern part. The area has been affected by the changing climate for a long time, for the reason that global warming has caused a lot of problems. What’s more, Florida has already been drained, and it’s may be hard for the Torreya to get used of the Florida’s original microclimate any longer.
Secondly, the option that moving Torreya to an entirely different location is not as perfect as the reading passage has stated. As the professor claimed, the diseases of trees can spare so quickly, and this would kill off the trees and plants that are already endangered. When move Torreya to the north forests, the diseases cannot be controlled easily, and may cause unpredicted outcome.
Finally, preserving Torreya in research centers is not a good solution either. The population of Torreya preserved in a research center may be limited, and the capability of the population will not be able to resist diseases. As we all know, to resist diseases, Torreya need a large capacity and genetic diversity. Thus, being preserved in research centers, the trees can hardly survive from the diseases in a long term.

At universities and colleges, sports and social activities are just as important as classes and libraries and should receive equal financial support.

Sports and social activities are important elements to our university lives. They should be put equal emphasis on as classes and libraries.

Sports and social activities play an important role to us in forming a more perfect characteristic. By taking sports, a student can definitely get a good health, which in turn would be a foundation to study more efficiently. Let me take an apt example of my sister Jacqueline, she is one the top five students in her high school. And in the eyes of mine, she is totally a pedant, all work and no play. Then it turned out as was expected, she fell ill after two days of continuously studying in her dorm without any movement. What she has lost overweigh what she has gained. As a conclusion, it’s hard to imagine a university focus only on the study quality of its students and ignore the importance of sports.

Also, social activities help students gain the ability to communicate with others and find out their potentials. This is one of the main goals in a qualified university education as well. For instance, Jennifer, my neighbor, is an economy majored student in Xi’an communication university. During her summer vacation at her junior, she got an internship at one of the top 500 companies. With the help of which, she dig out her potential of being an accountant. It follows that it’s vital for a university to give enough support to students’ social activities, especially financial support.

By giving sufficient financial support to both sports and social activities, can the students equip themselves well and be more confident in them in the face of the fierce competition in the society. For example, they can hire more specific teachers and professors to guide them, what’s more, they can buy enough equipment and materials. Thus the can get better prepared for the coming competitions.
The advantages of taking sports and social activities are countless. Only through cooperating with others can a person learn how to get along with others and dig out his or her potential. Before stepping into the real society, students do need similar experience, which is also filled with fierce competition, as well.

In conclusion, sports and social activities is to a university student what a foundation is to a skyscraper. Universities shouldn’t ignore the importance of spare time activities of students. They do deserve equal financial support.
