Here is something about Christmas. Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices for two weeks, and they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.
Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to Oxford Street, it was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very low price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.
When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not go to the sales again.

I am a Senior 1 student. I often quarrel with my parents over that I can watch TV before school.
My parents held the opinion that I should study hardly so that I will have more choices in the future. Besides, they consider this is harmful to my eyes to watch TV too often, which is the chief cause of short sight. But in my view, it is TV that give me what I am interested. In addition, it may help relax my mind when I am tiring, in which case my study will be improved.
In the end, we reached a agreement. I am allowed to watch TV only at weekends. However, the programs are only news, sports and entertainment, but not TV plays. This agreement is acceptable to me, because that I can at least have some time to enjoy some TV programs.

The Hunan Satellite TV(HNTV) show “Where are we going, Dad?” is a big hit. Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny Daddy and cute kids caused a lot of people’s emotional resonance(共鸣). Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.
The TV shows like “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot mom” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents’ confusion in children’s education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.
In real life, on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand they continue to do so. The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The participation of mother in the children’s education is also very low.
It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going,Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.
1.What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second passage?
A. worried B. favorable
C. optimistic D. proud
2. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. 36% of the audience of the program are male aged from 25-34.
B. Parents shouldn’t entirely leave the education of children to the old.
C. In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.
D. The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.
3. In raising a child in modern society, parents should___________.
A. play computer games with their children
B. balance well between family and career
C. keep their children at home to avoid socializing
D. break down the barrier between children and teachers
4.Which one is the best title of the passage?
A. Nanny Daddy and Cute Kids
B. Modern Education is Important
C. Confusion Behind “Where are we going, dad?”
D. New problems in Modern Children’s Education
