american child spends three to five hours a day watching tv. in 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. for example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared *tv makes kids stupid. many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. when they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children. *tv makes kids violent. the real story is not so simple. hundreds of studies show that watching violence on tv makes children more aggressive (好斗的). but a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. the problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age. *sitting around watching tv makes kids overweight. an experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. the real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). a widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements. *tv helps kids get to sleep. the opposite is true. the more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap(小睡) patterns. allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution. 50. which one is the advantage of educational tv programs? a. they will make children solve difficult problems better than others. b. they will improve childrens ability to get along with others. c. they are likely to make children more aggressive. d. they will make sure of childrens success in the future. 51. why are children spending much time watching tv likely to be fat? a. watching tv makes children lazy and inactive. b. children are attracted by the food advertisement on tv. c. watching tv doesnt burn up as much fat as doing sports. d. children like to snack while watching tv. 52. what influence does watching tv have on a childs sleep? a. children are likely to sleep deeper after watching tv.b. childrens sleep time will be greatly reduced. c. it will make children form a bad habit of sleeping. d. it will make children sleep easier. barrivinginsydneyonhisownfromindia, my husband, rashid, stayedina hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.during the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. he came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. he was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.he reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.late in the evening, the phone rang. it was a stranger. he was trying to pronounce my husbands name and was asking him a lot of questions. then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.my husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. at last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.that family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. we still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.53

travel? well, many people travel because they want to see other countries and visit places that are famous, interesting or beautiful. people also travel to meet new friends, to try new kinds of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply to get away from cold weather. yet there are other reasons why people travel. many of todays travellers are looking for an unusual experience and adventure travel is becoming more and more popular. here is a quick look at two popular activities hiking and rafting.hikinginstead of spending your vacation on a bus, in a hotel or sitting on the beach, you may want to try hiking. hiking is a great way to travel. you will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. hiking is easy to do and doesnt have to be very expensive. you can hike close to home or travel to other places. the basic equipment you need for hiking is simple good shoes, clothes and a backpack. you can hike in the mountains, in a forest or along a river. you can also go for a hike in the city.hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldnt forget safety.here are some basic tips for successful hikingdont hike alone. tell someone where you are going.bring water and a good map. watch out for dangers, such as snakes.wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun. raftinganother exciting adventure（冒险） is rafting. a raft is a small boat that you can use to paddle（划）down rivers and streams. rafting is a good way to experience nature. if you want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few fallen trees or rocks. if you are looking for more excitement, you may want to try whitewater rafting. whitewater rafting is more adventurous and difficult than normal rating. it is done on rivers and streams where the water moves quickly. you have to be careful not to hit rocks, trees and other dangers.as with hiking, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. you also need to learn the basic skills of rafting. you should not go rafting unless you know how to swim, and you should always wear a life jacket.57. which of the following is the best description of hiking?a. hiking is a good way to get

travel for the following reason except that_.a. they want to see other countries b. they travel to meet new friendsc. they dont like the life of their own d. they want to have an adventuredevery year, it costs british students more and more to attend university. students are graduating with larger and larger debts(债). so is a college degree really worth it?in 2006, the uk government started to allow universities in england and wales to charge british students tuition fees (学费). as a result, more than 80 percent of students in england and wales now take out a student loan (贷款) in order to go to university.they use the loan to pay for tuition fees and living expenses. although the interest（利息） on student loans is quite low, it begins as soon as the student receives the loan.the average student in england and wales now graduates from university with a debt of around $12,000 (122,952yuan). it means graduates have to struggle to pay rent on a flat, because they have to start paying back the student loan when they reach the april after graduating. if you start to earn over $ 15,000 (153,639yuan) a year, the government takes repayments directly from your monthly salary.you might think that a person with a degree would find it easy to get a well-paid job. however, most people in “white collar jobs” seem to have a degree, so there is a lot of competition. also, british companies tend to value work experience over a piece of paper.all of the above is beginning to make british people question whether a university degree is really worth the money. even before the credit crisis started, the bbc stated “the number of british students at uk universities has fallen for the first time in recent history, from 1.97 million in 2007 to 1.96 million last year (2008).”“student poverty” is now considered a real problem. meanwhile, the british universities offer more and more of the available places to richer international students rather than poorer british students. what does the future hold for british higher education?61. what makes british students question the worth of a university degree?a. higher university expenses. b. lower education quality.c. a higher interest rate on student loans d. greater difficulty obtaining student loans.62. according to the article, which of the following statements is true?a. university tuition fees in all parts of britain have been on the rise since 2006.b. interest on a student loan starts as soon as the student receives it.c. people have always questione
