degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.one of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern california third-graders. those with tvs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom tvs .a second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in new zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year olds who had watched lots of tv during childhood. but the results dont prove that tv is the cause and dont rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人）may watch lots of tv.their study measured the tv habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of tv per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2. 5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.in the california study, children with tvs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom tv but who had home computers scored the highest.while this study does not prove that bedroom tv sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldnt have tvs in their bedrooms.21. according to the california study, the low-scoring group might _.a. have watched a lot of tv b. not be interested in mathc. be unable to go to college d. have had computers in their bedrooms22. what is the researchers understanding of the new zealand study results?a. poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more tv.b. habits of tv watching reduce learning interest.c. tv watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.d. the connection between tv and education levels is difficult to explain23. what can we learn from the last two paragraphs?a. more time should be spent on computers.b. children should be forbidden from watching tv.c. iv sets shouldnt be allowed in childrens bedrooms,d. further studies on high-achieving students should be done24. what would be the best title for this text?a. computers or television b. effects of television on childrenc. studies on tv and college education d. television and childrens learning

irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. she finished her high school education at the college of svign in paris. irene entered the university of paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. when world war i began, irene went to help her mother, who was using x-ray facilities（设备）to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. irene continued the work by developing x-ray facilities in military hospitals in france and belgium. her services were recognised in the form of a military medal by the french government. in 1918, irene became her mothers assistant at the curie institute. in december 1924, frederic joliot joined the institute, and irene taught him the techniques required for his work. they soon fell in love and were married in 1926. their daughter helene was born in 1927 and their son pierre five years later.like her mother, irene combined family and career. like her mother, irene was awarded a nobel prize, along with her husband, in 1935. unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）. irene joliot-curie died from leukemia on march 17, 1956.29. why was irene

boys?the answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. to the egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for muslims, it means heaven. red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. in china, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the new year. for many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils(灾祸).peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions (反应)toward them. green is said to be the most restful color. it has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. people who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites(食欲). many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “buy now” button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye.blue is another calming color. unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. so if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.the next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.33. muslims regard green as a
