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 1ower 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 (排除) that already poorly motivated (有动机的) youngsters 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 of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood，compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high schoo1s．    ‘
In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored 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 accumulating(增加) 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-olds 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 1earn 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 Habits

Talking to Teachers—Teachers are just people．Behind that desk, is a living, breathing human being．And just like any human being, they will probably be friendly to people who talk nicely to them．Teachers also seem to get along better with children who take schoolwork seriously and are prepared for class．And, just like any other human being, teachers like to be appreciated．The next time your teacher helps you solve a math problem or figure out a science project, say thank you with a smile.
Talking to Parents—Parents can be very supportive if their children ask for help．If you think there’s something your parents can do to help you socialize more or feel more comfortable around people, then ask them．Very often, parents want very much to help, but really don’t know what to do．Pick a quiet time of the day and ask to talk．Tell them how you feel．Maybe they had the same trouble when they were kids.
Talking to Stranger —This is always a tough one．How do you deal with a neighbor, the mail carrier, or someone walking down your street—situations that often seem to cause arguments between kids and parents．The answer to these questions will vary(变化) from kid to kid, from parent to parent because all cultures are different．Some folks live in small towns where a hello to everyone is “what’s done”．Then there are kids who live in the city who may have been taught not to speak to anyone they don’t know．If you’re having trouble with this and always feel awkward in these kinds of situations, you might want to talk to your parents or a teacher about it．Where do they think you should draw the line(线)? When is silence rude and when is it wise?
小题1:From the first paragraph we may learn that teachers dislike____ .

A．being talked to nicely

B．their students to be serious with the schoolwork

小题3:The underlined word in the third paragraph is close in meaning to____.

A．arguments often happen between kids and parents

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence(自信) and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to write it. Finally, we must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.
There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory(记忆) is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists(一览表) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must "Learn through use". Practice is important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever(无论何时) we can.
小题1:The most important things to learn a foreign language are________.

A．understanding and speaking

B．hearing, speaking, reading and writing

C．writing and understanding

D．memorizing and listening

A．he doesn't understand the language when he hears it spoken

A．much practice	B．studying the dictionary
C．learning through use	D．using the language

小题4:Which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?

“Last week was Road Safety Week at Jason’s school. All the students had to take part in a talk on road safety which was given by a police officer. The following is what the police officer said. ”“Most traffic accidents shouldn’t happen. They happen because people are careless. A frequent cause of traffic accidents is speed. Some people drive too quickly. This means that if they have to stop suddenly, they cannot stop quickly enough to avoid （避免）hitting other vehicles （车辆）or people. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk. ”
“It’s not only drivers who cause accidents, however. People on foot－pedestrians, and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street. ” “Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you should check behind you to make sure there aren’t any cars, trucks or buses coming. You should show with your left hand to tell that you want to turn left. You should not turn until the street is clear. ”
