stop watching TV for either a week or a month.Many could not complete the task and some families
quarrelled or even fought.It was quite interesting and now I will say something about TV.
After TV became a product most families could afford, people bought and started to watch their new
TVs.Both adults and children became less creative in problem solving, less able to focus on tasks, and
less tolerant of flexible time.
In my family, we grew up with the TV on.Every weekend, we watched Gun Smoke and Bonanza
together as a family.TV provides us with a comfortable background when we want to learn a foreign
language at home, and it entertains us cheaply with live action sports, incomparable performing arts and
important events of the world.In addition, it educates us about everything from the cells in our body to
the galaxies in the universe.
Perhaps it"s not even practical to live without television unless our views change unexpectedly as we
get older.I don"t think that TV damages us so much as it robs us of time that could be spent doing other
things such as learning new skills, getting some exercise or doing volunteer work.
I was lucky to have a family that watched TV together.Today there seems to be a TV in every room
of the house and there"s no need to agree on a program to watch.To watch TV or not is more of a
question for adults than for us, and even though we all say we want to cut down the time we spend in
front of the tube, we never really do.TV_has_us_hypnotized!

A. the author likes to spend weekends watching TV by himself
B. watching TV too much prevents the author from growing up well
C. TV programmes bring only fun to the author and his family
D. the author and his family get a lot of valuable experience in watching TV

举一反三
from their partner.While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in a relationship, in truth it may
just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all marriages ending in divorce, men and women
are realizing they need to be financially savvy, regardless of whether they are in a relationship.
The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult, even more so when
children are involved.The lack of permanency in relationships, job and family life may be the cause of a
growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner, in other words, an"escape fund".
Margaret"s story is far from unique.She is a representative of a growing number of women in longterm
relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every month on pay day, she banks
hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her husband.She has been doing this throughout their sixyear marriage and has built a nest egg worth an incredible$100,000.Margaret says if her husband
found about her secret savings he"d be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn"t sure of the
marriage."He"d think it was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if
it went wrong.I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is, but you can
never be sure."
Like many of her fellow secret savers, Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has since been
very guarded about her own money.
Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad.Take Colleen for
example, who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to her partner."I decided to
open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.I wanted to prove to myself that I could
put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy day."

B. days are getting harder and harder
C. women are money sensitive
D. financial conflicts often occur
2. The underlined word "savvy" in Paragraph 1 probably means________.
A. suspicious
B. secure
C. wise

4. The author mentions Colleen"s example to show________.
A. any couple can avoid marriage conflicts
B. privacy within marriage should be respected
C. everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriage

A. Secret savers
B. Love is what it"s worth
C. Banking honesty
D. Once bitten, twice shy
is just to make a mealtime plate look pretty.Poor parsley, valued for its looks, then is thrown away.Yet
parsley is a good source of vitamins and other nutrients.The taste is a little strong for some people, but
others chew on parsley to freshen their breath.
Curly parsley is the king that often ends up being used just for appearance.Flatleaf parsley is easier to
work with for cooking.This kind is often called Italian or French parsley.Do you know about a third kind
of parsley?Hamburg parsley has flat leaves that can be used for the same purposes as other parsley.But
hamburg parsley has a large root which is used as a vegetable to add flavor to soups.
Parsley is used in foods such as tabouli, a traditional Lebanese salad and is often served with lamb,
fish and beef dishes.Parsley is a herb if you use just the greens.If the root is used, then parsley is
considered a vegetable.
Some gardeners suggest that to get the besttasting parsley, you should plant new seeds every year.
You can get parsley to grow faster by pouring warm water over the seeds.Leave the seeds in the water
overnight.Then you can grow them in containers indoors or plant them outside.Parsley grows best when
temperatures are below twentyone degrees Celsius.It likes to grow in sunny places.The seeds need rich
soil.Plant the seeds about fifteen to twentyfive centimeters apart.Water them regularly during the first
month.After that, parsley does not need very much water.You can harvest parsley by cutting most of the
plant or leave more of the plant in the ground for a second crop.

短文填词
Do you like friends who can teach you a lot every day?Books are
s________friends that they bring knowledge to
us and keep us company through our life.They are so valuable
that________(图书馆) are built to
________(存放) them.Almost all great men are
lovers of books.Franklin said that it was books that
l________him to success and that he could have
achieved nothing w________books.Books are the
holders of mankind"s________(经验) and
imagination.They enable us to see through the past and predict the
________.So when you open a book, you would get
into a world________you have never been before.
A good book is a good teacher that h______you to get
over difficulties.No matter what you are, _______
tolerance for falling in despair.Especially now we"ve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings-whether it"s
after losing a job, the breakup of a relationship or the death of a loved one.So it"s no surprise that more
and more people are taking them.
But is this really such a good idea?A growing number of voices from the world of mental health
research are saying it isn"t.They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is
playing fast and loose (行为轻率). Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purpose-and if we lose it, we
lose out.Yet many psychiatrists (精神病医生) insist not.Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into
depression (抑郁症), they warn.Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs to
make themselves feel better.
So who is right?Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch?
There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life.It may be a selfprotection
strategy, as other primates (灵长类) also show signs of sadness.A losing monkey that doesn"t show
sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey-and that could
result in death.
In humans, sadness has a further function:we may display sadness as a form of communication.By
acting sad, we tell other community members that we need support.
Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods.There are plenty of great artists,
writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder.Scientists find that people with
signs of depression perform better at a creative task, and that negative moods make people think deeply
over the unhappy experience, which allows creative processes to come to the front.There is also evidence
that too much happiness can be bad for your career.A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10
on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s.The happiest people
lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.
1. The underlined word "this" refers to________.
A. taking drugs
B. falling in despair
C. losing a job
D. feeling sad
2. The author believes sadness is________.
A. a good thing for people"s health
B. something horrible never to touch
C. a necessary function of humans
D. always to be treated as depression
3. Some animals show their sadness in order to________.
A. cheat their enemy
B. protect themselves
C. comfort the loser
D. challenge the winner
4. We can infer from the last paragraph that________.
A. people with great creativity tend to be happier
B. unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career
C. too much happiness can be bad for your career
