    　　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 bedrooms TVs．

    　　A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 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 of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 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 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 findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms．

    (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

    (2)

    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．

    (3)

    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．

She rushed into the kitchen, but it was too late- everything was black.

    　　

        On Tuesday she offered to clean up the apartment for her parents. After she had vacuumed the carpets, she threw away a pile of old newspapers and computer magazines.

On Wednesday she took Foxy for a walk in the park and lost him. She looked for him everywhere, but he had disappeared. The stupid dog came back later, but that was after Mrs Rosenbaum had telephoned nearly everybody in the neighborhood.

    　　

        Thursday went all right until the evening. Sarah put the dirty things in the dish-washer and switched it on, but when she emptied it later, two of the glasses she had put in were broken. Her mom wasn't very pleased because she always washed the good glasses by hand.

    　　A few days ago I asked my son's governess(女家庭教师)Julia to come into my study．“Be seated, Julia,”I said, “Let's settle our accounts．I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you're too polite to mention it．Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month…”

    　　“Forty．”

    　　“No, thirty．I made a note of it．I always pay our governess thirty．Well, um, you've been here two months, so…”

    　　“Two months and five days．”

    　　“Exactly two months．I made a special note of it．That means you have sixty dollars coming to you．Take off nine Sundays…you know you didn't work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks．And three holidays…”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but－not a word．

    　　“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars．Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied(从事)only with Dick．Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch．Twelve and seven-nineteen．Take nineteen off…that leaves…hmm…forty one dollars．Correct?”

    　　Julia's left eye reddened with tears welling up．Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but－still not a word．

    　　“Around New Year's Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars．The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but － forget it．When didn't I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect(疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten．Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick's shoes．You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it．So, that means five more dollars off．The tenth of January I gave ten dollars．”

    　　“You didn't．” sobbed Julia．

    　　“But I made a note of it．”

    　　“Well…if you say so．”

    　　“Take twenty seven from forty one－that leaves fourteen．”

    　　Both her eyes were filled with tears．Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose．Poor girl!

    　　“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife．Three dollars, nothing more．”

    　　“Really? You see now, and I didn't know that! Take three from fourteen－that leaves eleven．Here's your money, my dear．Three, three, three, one and one．Here it is!”

    　　I handed her eleven dollars．She took them and pocketed them．

    　　“Merci(法语：谢谢),”she whispered．

    　　I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room．I was overcome with anger．“For what, this ‘merci'?” I asked．

    　　“For the money．”

    　　“But you know I've cheated you－robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this ‘merci'?”

    　　“In my other places they didn't give me anything at all．”

    　　“They didn't give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you．．．I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you．．．Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)?Why didn't you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)－to be such a fool?”

    　　Embarrassed, she smiled．And I could read her expression, “It is possible．”

    　　I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars．She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out．I looked after her and thought, “How easy it is to crush(压榨)the weak in this world !”

    (1)

    tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
