阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
Back in the old days, when I was a child, we sat around the family round table at dinner time and exchanged our daily experiences. It wasn't organized, but everyone was recognized and all the news that had to be told was told by each family member.
We listened to each other and the interest was not put on; it was real. Our family was a unit and we supported each other, cared for each other, and liked each other, and
we were even willing to admitwe loved each other.
Today, the family roundtable has moved to the local fast - food franchise (特权) and talk is not easy, much less encouraged.
The working parent is far too beaten down each day to spend evening relaxation time listening to the sandbox experience of an eager four - year- old child.
So family conversation is no longer in existence and parental questions such as “What have you been doing, Bobby?” have been replaced by “I'm busy, go to watch television.”
And watch TV as they do?
But it's usually not children's television that children watch. Saturday morning, the children's hour, amounts to only about 8 percent of their weekly viewing.
But wait! Where are they to be found? Watching adult television, of course, from the Match Game in the morning, to the afternoon at General Hospital, from the muggings and battles on the evening news right through the family hour and past into Starsky and Hutch. That's where you find our kids, over five million of them, at 10 p.m., not fewer than a million until after midnight! Ad of this is done with parental permission.
Television, used well, can provide enriching experiences for our young people, but we must use it with some judgement. When the carpet is clean, we turn off the vacuum cleaner. When the dishes are clean, the dishwasher turns itself off.
It is not the same with the television, which is on from the sun in the morning to the moon at night and beyond!
Parents must exercise some control and interest themselves in the cultural influence on the child when a program not intended for that child is viewed. Parents need to be intervened (干预). Nonintervention may be a popular policy in international affairs, but the results of parental nonintervention will not be welcome at the United Nations or anywhere else.
1．From the first two paragraphs one may infer that the writer's attitude towards “the old days” is ________.
[ ]
2．The working parent is not willing to listen to her (his) four - year- old child talking about his sandbox games because she (he) is ________.
[ ]
3．If we use television with some ________ television can provide our young people with much knowledge.
[ ]
4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
[ ]
A．Nonintervention may be a good policy in international affairs.
B．Parents must exercise some control and interest themselves in the cultural influence on the children.
C．Parents have rights to intervene.
D．Parental nonintervention will have a bad effect on international affairs

In the 1940s, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950s, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage. Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(理置). As time went on, more and more of the park was used for garage disposal and less for recreation. Two years ago, the park was closed to the public for good. Along with household garbage, industrial chemicals had for years been dumped (倾倒)in the Pinehaven landfill. These poisonous chemicals had begun to seep(渗)back up through the soil. All of Pinehaven Park had become dangerously polluted.
Last year, the fish in the Crafton River began to die. After a series of investigations(研究), it became clear that the people of Crafton City were not to blame. 100～150 miles upstream, big paper mills were dumping industrial wastes into the river. Little by little, the level of poison in the river began to rise. Finally, it became so polluted that the fish themselves could no longer survive.
Downtown Crafton used to be a quiet area. Ten years of remarkable growth changed that in a big hurry. But with Crafton City's new prosperity(繁荣)came a new problem: air pollution. And it is a serious problem. Air pollution levels in Crafton are regularly reaching those of the nation's large industrial cities.

D．Industrial growth and progress have resulted in the pollution of Crafton City's water, air, and soil.
(2)According to the passage, what portion of the park had originally been marked for use as a garbage dump?
[ ]
A．Less than half B．Exactly half
C．About one third D．Most of it
(3)As it is used in the passage, the phrase“for good”means ________.
[ ]
A．practically B．for ever
C．thoroughly D．advantageously
(4)According to the passage, one result of dumping industrial chemicals into the landfill was that ________.
[ ]
A．the land became unsafe for humans

C．the poisonous chemicals were washed into the nearby river
