Television is the most significant o

20、f these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when childre

21、n are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials(商業(yè)廣告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any co

22、mmercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start

23、in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmf

24、ul to children.

25、 worried about the influence from television on their children.Television has much influence on children.Both parents and their children like watching educational television.Some critics think that television is no good for children.32.

28、or both children and their parentsmany parents like the programs it offers for their childrenchildren can learn some school subjects before they go to school35.

30、ld, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important . In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire.

31、 It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize th

32、is. They cult down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where th

33、ere trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil

34、in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.36. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can_.keep him from the hot sunshineenable him to build warshipsmake him draw quick profit from themprotect him from droug

35、hts and floods37. Its a great pity that _.man is only interested in building empiresman is not eager to make profits from treesman hasnt realized the importance of trees to himman hasnt found out that he has lost all trees38. Sooner or later the forests will desappear_.unless a country has a plenty

36、supply of treesunless people stop cutting down their treesunless all people are taught the importance of planting treesunless the government punishes those who trees instead of planting them 39. The word “bind in Paragraph 5 means“_.to wash awayto make wetto make stay togetherto improve 40. When the

37、re is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as they can _.keep rain from falling down to soft groundmake it possible for the soil to allow rainwater to sink inprevent the soil from being washed awaymake the topsoil stick togetherPassage 3 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult

38、that its painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that youre “hot. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic 精力充分 is when your cyc

39、le of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the people the peak comes before noon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar saying as: “Get up, John! Youre late for work again! The possible explanation to the trou

40、ble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling end when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit

41、can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll work better at your low point.Get off to slow start which saves your energy. When you get up, sit on the edg

42、e of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.41. According to the new f

43、indings of Dr. Kleitman, if a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _.he is a lazy personhe refuses to follow his own energy cyclehe is not sure when his energy is lowhe is at his energy peak in the afternoon or evening 42.
