With few new TV shows，I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period. Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV. With a most perfect cast，the show sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family，a group of selfish staff who manage to still put family first.For more comedy goodness，I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever aired. 30 Rock. Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin，two stars with impressive comic timing, the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show (幽默短剧), similar to Saturday Night Live, from the funny writers to the self-centered cast all the way up to the boss,If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps more juicy Friday Night lights might be more to your liking. If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you. If you are a fan of great drama, both soapy and serious , this show is probably for you, If you are a fan of good-looking people, this show is definitely for you .If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heart-pounding excitement? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV, Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience far-out adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing. 56. If you are fond of soapy TV shows，you will probably choose to watch A. Friday Night Lights B. 30 Rock C. the Amazing Race D. Saturday Night Live57. From the DVD shows listed above, we can learn that. A. two teams won the amazing race B. football fans enjoy the Amazing Race C. the Bluths care about their family though selfish D. 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common 58. The author writes the passage to tell us that A. the effects of the TV writers strike are great B. the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation C. watching DVD is a good choice during the strike D. we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes59. The passage is most probably taken from A. a book review B. a newspaper C. a film poster D. a DVD menu2 When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard，I was one of the first to out there and pet it. I hadnt touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years. I spent at least 20 minutes， knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxed. What he was expressing outwardly，I was feeling inwardly. It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care Over the next few days，there were other prisoners responding to the eat. Every yard period，a group of prisoners gathered there. They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat. These were guys you wouldnt usually find talking to each other. Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away，but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners. Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread，wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it. The cat was obvious homeless and in pretty bad shape People said that the cat came to the fight place. Hes getting treated like a king. This was true，but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us. There was a lot of talk about whats wrong with prisons in America. We need more programs. We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds. Some may even talk about making prisons more kind. But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness. Not receive it, but give it. After more than two decades here, I know kindness is not a value thats encouraged. Its often seen as a weakness. Instead, the culture encourages keeping your head down, minding your own business, and never letting yourself be weak. The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here. By simply saying “I need some help here”, he did something important for us. He needed us, and we needed to be needed, I believe we all do.60. From the passage , we can learn that the author was A . an animal protector B .the owner of the cat C . a prison officer D . a prisoner61. Which of the following statements is true?A . The cat was dirty because it was kept in prison.B . The officer in the prison enjoyed petting the cat.C . The prisoners prepared food for both the cat and birds.D . The author realised the importance of practising kindness.62. We can infer from the third paragraph that A . showing love to others can make prisoners strongB . the American prison culture will be improvedC . the author is not content with the prison cultureD . caring for others is encouraged in American prisons63. What is the best title for the passage?A . Caring Makes us Human B . Prison Culture is ImportantC . Animals Need Care D . Everyone Needs to be Cared for 3Three years ago I listened to a lecture on cognition(认知) that changed the way I think about intelligence. There are two types of cognition. The first is normal cognition: the ability to regain knowledge from memory; the second type of cognition is metacognition: the ability to know whether or not you know.Does this affect intelligence? In traditional education, intelligence is measured by cognitive ability, Some people can easily produce everything they know on a test. But others are awarded whit poor grades and considered inferior. But does this inability make them any less intelligent? If the question came up on a task, they could refer to a book or a quick Google search. In reality theyre just as effective as the people that ace a test. They just cant prove it as easily.Metacognition is more important to success than cognition. A person with poor cognitive ability, but great metacognitive ability might do poorly in school, but when faced with a challenge, they understand their abilities and take the best course of action. For example, when faced with a question, a person with strong metacognitive ability will deal with it like this. If he knows the answer，but cant come up with it，he can always do a bit of research. If he knows for sure that he doesnt know，then he can start educating himself. Because hes aware of his ignorance，he doesnt act with foolish confidence. These people might not seem intelligent at first glance，but because they know what they know，they make better decisions and learn the most important things. However，people with great cognitive ability but poor metacognitive ability may be considered excellent at a young age for acing every test and getting great SAT scores. Unfortunately，theyve been ruined by poor metacognition：they think they know everything
