Let us take a 36 , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a 37 were accepted: families might use the time for a real family hour. They might 38 together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our 39 -everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 40 illness -are caused at least in part by 41 to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to 42 our problems, we might get to know each better. On evening when such talk is 43 , families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a 44 together to watch the sunset 45 they might take a walk together. 46 free time and no TV, children and adults might rediscover reading. There is more entertainment in 47 than in a TV program. 48 report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 49 at the college level. 50 is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.A different 51 of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the 52 ends, the TV networks might be forced to 53 with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities. At first glance, this idea seems radical(激进的). How will we spend the time then? The fact is; it has been only twenty-five years 54 television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can 55 childhoods without television.

High-school scientists from across the United States showed off work in genetics, molecular biology, mathematics and other fields that judges said rose to the professional level. “It just blows me away. Theyre all just unimaginable,” said Joel Spencer, a New York University professor who served as a judge at the Siemens Westinghouse Competition in Math, Science and Technology. Research done by finalists in the nationwide competition could lead to faster Internet speeds, more effective antibacterial drugs and better energy conservation. One team researched black holes in outer space, while another examined more than 700 fossils to better understand why dinosaurs died out. Juliet Girard and Roshan Prabhu won a $100,000 scholarship for their work proving genes that help some strains of wild rice flower earlier than others. Drawing on a database that described the genetic makeup of rice, the two students, from Jersey City, New Jersey, identified two genetic segments(sections) that directed wild rice to blossom an average of 10 days earlier than the ordinary short-grain rice that feeds much of the world. Their discovery could allow genetic engineers to develop a new strain that would take less time to reach maturity, allowing farmers to produce more and extending the growing region into colder climates. Steven Byrnes of Lexington, Massachusetts, took the top individual prize for his theory describing outcomes in a two-player game called Chomp. Several said they planned to publish their findings in famous professional magazines.56. What made the university professors surprised was that _.A. high school students did very well in many fieldsB. what the high school students did was beyond the imagination of scientistsC. the work of the high school students was of high quality and reached the professional levelD. high school students have found out why dinosaurs died out57. Which of the following is true?A. Two students discovered the way of growing more rice and growing rice in colder climates.B. What the two students discovered about the genetic makeup of rice may lead to an important development in agriculture.C. Steven Byrnes took the top prize at the national science fair on Monday.D. Several students planned to write more articles in some professional journals.58. What is this report mainly about?A. Farmers can grow more rice and shaky Internet communications can work better after the competitions are held.B. Some high school students have become professional scientists.C. High school students can make great contributions to the world in many fields just like adult scientists.D.A national science fair made scientists greatly surprised.BAfter giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed. During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy（肌肉萎缩症）.When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams. I spent over and hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didnt mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me. When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthews parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Rick,My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I dont have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know Im a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.Your friend,Matthew59. The boy wanted to meet the author because _.A. he was interested in weight liftingB. he wanted to get a gold medal C. he admired the author very muchD. he wanted the author to know him60. The underlined part in the third paragraph probably means” _.”A. Why do you come to see me?B. Why do I have to stay at home? C. Why does the disease fall on meD. Why not give a gold medal to me61. We can infer from the passage that _. A. Matthew is a determined boyB. Rick used to have the same disease C. Matthew became a champion finally D. Rick regarded Matthew as normal62. The boy refused the authors medal because _.A. he was not worthy of itB. he would not be pitied by othersC. he knew he would die soonD. he himself could earn one in the futureC“There is an out-of-date idea that children grow up and leave home when theyre 18, and the truth is far from that,” says Mr. Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin. Today, unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents. “There is a great change in the middle class,” declares Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University, whose son, 19, moved back in after an absence of eight months. Scientists show a number of reasons for this return to the rest. The marriage age is rising, a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people. A high divorce rate and a low remarriage rate make some difference. For some, the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so great that many students now attend local schools. Even after graduation, young people find their wings tied by terrible housing coats. Living at home, says Knighton, a schoolteacher, continues to give security and moral support. Her mother agreed. “Its strange for the kids to pay all that money for rent. It makes sense for kids to stay ate home.” But sharing the family home requires changes for all. There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy. Some families, however, manage the careful balancing act. But for others, it proves too difficult. Michelle, Del Turco, 24, has been home three times and left three times. “What I considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol problem,” she explained. “He never liked anyone I dated, so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends houses.”Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on? Most scientists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake. Children can end up with a sense if defeat and failure. And aging parents, who should be enjoying some freedom, find themselves stuck with too many things. Many agree that brief visits, however, can work well. 63. According to the author, there was once a trend in the USA _. A. for young adults to leave their parents and live separately B. for middle class young adults to stay with their parents C. for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence D. for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents64. Which of the following does not lead to young adults returning to the nest? A. Young adults find housing costs too high. B. Young adults are not old enough. C. Young adults look for parental comfort and support. D. Quite a number of young adults attend local schools.65. The underlined word “hassles” in the passage probably means _ A. agreements B. worries C. disadvantages D. quarrels 66. The underlined word “hassles” in the pa
