However, television today is dominated by adult language, making it hard for concerned families to find channels suitable for young eyes. Therefore, most movie channels are automatically removed form the list of TV channels for an entire family. The following are some good ones based on popularity on a global scale. Discovery Channel Discovery and its many channels can be considered as the founding father of informative channels on television. What National Geographic does in a scholastic(学术的) manner, Discovery tries to do in an entertaining mannereducating the masses about anything and everything. Fox Family Finding a movie channel that broadcasts pictures suitable for teenagers and kids alike is very difficult unless your service operator offers you Fox family movies. This channel screens most movies before it broadcasts them, ensuring that no movie shows unaeptable material for young eyes. Nickelodeon A channel very similar to Cartoon Network, it mostly shows US programs. However, their shows are sometimes a bit more mature for younger kids and better suited to kids aged 5and up. ABC Family ABC started the ABC family channel in an attempt to introduce family-centered shows and serials to the public in the USA. The need for this channel was felt after ABC observed the lack of proper family type US channels. Living If travelling is a family hobby and better living is the motto then there is no better channel than Living. Kids can see never-seen-before sights, learning about new places while adults can practice their cooking and learn amazing things about motorbikes. 21.

Not being the best but toughing the limits of what youre capable of. I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and loved person in my life. Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds didnt mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars. And he was demanding but he wasnt ueasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it. As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I dont know the answer,” I would say, “I cant do it!” “Perhaps you dont know the answer,” he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do until you try?” Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough. “Dont be so hard on yourself,” hed say. “Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well, then youre not a failure,” he often told me these words. Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I dont feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others, but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my bestand that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We cant all be “the best”, but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know thats true because Mr. Myrus told me that. 24. What can we know about Mr. Myrus aording to the passage? A. He usually treats his students in a hard way. B. He is responsible for his teaching and students. C. He is a person who isnt particular about what he wears. D. He sometimes is cruel and ueasonable to his students. 25. The author thought he was a lucky dog because _. A. he had got a great belief from his teacher B. Mr. Myrus had taught him for eight years C. Mr. Myrus became his teacher a second time D. he developed a good relationship with Mr. Myrus 26. It can be concluded from the third paragraph that _. A. the author preferred other subjects to math B. Mr. Myrus thought it was very easy to learn math C. the author was ashamed to admit his math was poor D. Mr. Myrus helped the author build up his confidence 27. What can we learn by reading the passage? A. The author hoped to live a positive life. B. The author may have bee a teacher. C. The author liked to recall his childhood. D.

Since these digital products are so mon, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? Aording to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads. 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesnt just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products auracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an aessory(配饰) business. And today, the image a watch conveys has bee more important than the time it tells. “Complications” features that go beyond simple timekeeping are an important part of a watchs image. Todays watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include passes, USB drivers, and even other functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings! Creativity also plays a key role in designing todays watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that dont even look like watches. The panys popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch. Whether a watch conveys fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget（小玩意） in their bags, so people want to make a statement with whats on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell! 28. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion. B. Some people feel that watches have been of no use. C. The watch industry will close down sooner or later. D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today. 湖北省部分重点中学xx届高三第二次联考(期末考试)英语 考试时间：xx年元月20日下午15:00-17:00 第I卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5 分） 1 .How many people telephoned the woman at the office yesterday?
