Too much TV watching can harm children"s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.
A second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don"t prove that TV is the cause and don"t rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人)may watch lots of TV.
Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average(平均)of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.
In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored(得分)the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.
While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to findings that children shouldn"t have TVs in their bedrooms.
小题1:According to the California study, the low-scoring group might
A.have watched a lot of TV
B.not be interested in math
C.be unable to go to college
D.have had computers in their bedrooms
小题2:What is the researchers" understanding of the New Zealand study results?
A.Poorly motivated 26-year-old watch more TV.
B.Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.
C.TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.
D.The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain
小题3:What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.More time should be spent on computers.
B.Children should be forbidden from watching TV.
C.TV sets shouldn"t be allowed in children"s bedrooms.
D.Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.
小题4:What would be the best title for this text?
A.Computers or Television
B.Effects of Television on Children
C.Studies on TV and College Education
D.Television and Children"s Learning Habit

As computers become more and more popular in China, Chinese are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use computers.
It"s faster and easier to correct the mistakes if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being used more and more often in modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I"m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I"m familiar with it.”        
“I"m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”              
Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it"s more convenient and efficient to type on a computer, why bother to write by hand?       
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. Besides, handwriting contains the writer"s emotion. Through one"s handwriting, people can  learn one"s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression.” 
To encourage students to write more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.  
小题1:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?           
A.The Importance of Typing
B.Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters
C.Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand
D.To Type or to Write by Hand
小题2:The students interviewed prefer to type on a computer mainly because_______.
A.they can correct the mistakes quickly and conveniently
B.they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
C.they find it hard to remember how to write a character
D.computers have become a trend and fashion in China
小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true about advantages of handwriting?
A.Handwriting contains the writer"s emotion.
B.Handwriting can impress people well and build their self-confidence.
C.The writer"s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
D.Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
小题4:The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 probably means________.
A.getting bored withB.becoming crazy about
C.becoming dependent onD.getting curious about

Drunken driving—sometimes called America"s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic(流行病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years.
A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or several glasses of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were serious in most courts, but the drunken slaughter(屠宰) has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing(使翻转) a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition(禁止) of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
小题1:From the first paragraph, we can know that _________.
A.most Americans like drinking
B.heavy drinking is hard to avoid
C.many Americans are killed by drunk drivers
D.Americans are not shocked by traffic accidents
小题2:In America, public opinion about drunken driving has changed because ________.
A.judges are no longer serious
B.new laws are introduced in some states
C.the problem has attracted public attention
D.drivers do not appreciate their manly image
小题3:What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?
A.The legal drinking age should be raised.
B.Young drivers were usually bad.
C.Most drivers hoped to raise the legal drinking age.
D.Drivers should not be allowed to drink.
小题4:Laws recently introduced in some states have _________.
A.reduced the number of deaths.
B.resulted in fewer serious accidents.
C.prevented bars from serving drunken customers.
D.specified the amount drivers can drink.
小题5:Which of the following best shows the writer’s opinion of drunken driving?
A.It may lead to organized crime.
B.It is difficult to solve this problem.
C.The new laws can stop heavy drinking.
D.There should be no bars to serve drink.

NEW YORK (AP) — The investigation into the disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz has gone through decades and countries, from basements to rooftops and seemingly everywhere in between.
No one has ever been charged criminally — and the little boy with sandy brown hair and a toothy grin was declared dead in 2001.
This week, the six-year-old boy who went missing from the Soho area of New York City in 1979 is back in the news. Police and the FBI are investigating a possible lead into the 33-year-old case of Etan Patz, the first missing child to appear on the side of a milk box.
The child disappeared on the way to school on the morning of May 25, 1979. It was the first time he was allowed to walk the two blocks to the bus stop alone.
A tip seemed to have led officials to the basement of a building on the corner of Prince and Wooster streets, about a block and a half from where Etan had lived with his family.
The name Etan Patz has become a hot topic on Twitter as people weigh in on the case. Shirley Brady noted: “As mom to a 6 years old in Soho, it’s still held out by locals as cautionary tale (警示故事).” Another wrote, “Boy who disappeared on his way to school in 1979 has been REOPENED! Crazy.” One wondered, “Why is FBI and NYPD searching for a kid that disappeared in 1979?”
Good question. This is a case that Stuart Gra Bois, as an assistant U.S. lawyer under Rudolph Giuliani, followed for years. It became the most famous missing-person case in New York City, turned a nationwide spotlight on missing children, and created headlines around the globe. No one was ever stated guilty of the crime.
The case led to the creation of National Missing Children’s Day, marked on May 25, the day the blond-haired, blue-eyed child went missing.
The case has even pointed to a suspect, charged with child molester (猥亵者) Julio Antonio Ramos, who is currently in prison. Patz’s babysitter had been dating the man, and Ramos did know the kid, but has denied taking him away.
New evidence in the case suggests another suspect who lived in the apartment at the time: a local handyman named Othniel Miller, who gave Etan $1 for helping him the night before the disappearance.
The man’s name had come up in an earlier investigation, but he was a friend of the Patz family, and the NYPD did not follow the lead.
Investigators plan to be at the site, 127 B Prince St., which is now a Lucky Brand jeans store, for the next two to three days to search for human remains. The Associated Press reports that the excavation (挖掘) has been the result of a recently ordered review of the case by Manhattan’s police. 
小题1:We can learn from the first three paragraphs that ________.
A.The 6-year-old missing boy was found by the side of a milk box
B.Police and the FBI have not been following the case of Etan Patz for 33 years
C.The investigation into the disappearance of boy has worked fruitlessly for decades
D.Etan Patz went missing from the Soho area of New York city in 1979 and died in 2001
小题2:What does the underlined phrase “weigh in on the case” mean?
A.ignore the case B.feel stressed on the case
C.reopen the case D.begin to discuss the case
小题3:What was a possible cause of reopening the case of Etan Patz?
A.Local lawyers strongly demanded the reopening of the case.
B.The Associated Press reported the result of the review of the case.
C.New evidence appeared which led officials to the basement of a building.
D.Local people realized the importance of the case without criminal being charged.
小题4:Which of the following statements is true in the text?
A.The National Missing Children’s Day was created on May 25, 1979.
B.The search for human remains will be carried out at 127 B Prince Street.
C.The NYPD didn’t follow the lead of Julio Antonio for he had been dating Patz’ babysitter.
D.Othniel Miller, a local handyman assisted Etan and gave him $1 before the disappearance.
小题5:We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.People air the same view about the case on the Internet
B.People reject the reopening of the case of the missing boy
C.The missing-person case still has a long-lasting influence on people
D.Twitter is the only place for people to discuss about missing-person cases

A camp built by students and volunteers spreads over Southern Methodist University(SMU). The affordable  21  are designed to be used by the poor as well as survivors of war and natural disasters.
“By the time 2020, there’s going to be about 1.7 billion people living in slums(贫民窟) so we would like to  22  change,” says Stephanie Hunt, co-founder of the Hunt Institute for Engineering and Humanities at SMU. The institute, which  23  build the village on SMU’s campus, was established to solve problem of the poor in the United States and around the world through engineering, and the free  24 .
The goal is not just to  25  lives, but to change the victims’ lives. The Institute hopes some entrepreneurs(企业家) might program and  26  some money with these ideas. One of the structures in the SMU village was built with bricks made  27  from recycled plastic bags.
They’re  28  together with heavy wires. Harvey Lacey, father of two college-aged sons, including one here at SUM, heard about this project and  29  his invention. It’s a heavy-duty, hand-crank compactor(手动压缩机)that anybody can use to form the big bricks he calls Ubuntu Blox.
“The advantages are that these  30  weigh less than two pounds. They’re very, very  31  These things can go for many generations of housing, ”says Lacey, who is  32  the design. Anybody can follow his online plans to  33  the compactor that turns plastic bags into bricks.
On this warm day, it’s  34  inside the Ubuntu Blox hut, thanks  35  to the thick plastic insulation(绝缘). Kenyan  36  Ronald Omyonga, visiting the global village before returning to his native Africa, says his country is full of these recyclable bags. With Lacey’s design, he says that litter could be transformed into  37  housing. He dreams of other  38  too.
“Look at the Harvey Lacey hut, as a means of creating  39  ,”says Omyonga.“Leaning the environment, and turning  40  into something that can form houses, not just for the poor.”
