I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law. Let us take a      , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a(an)     were accepted.
Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction(分散注意力) of TV, they might    together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our   ----everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of    illness ----are caused at least in part by    to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to     our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better. On evenings when such talk is     , families could discover more active pastimes(娱乐). Freed from TV and forced to find their own activities, they might take a     together to watch the sunset    they might take a walk together.
     free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in       than in a TV program.       report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence,       at the college level.    is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour. A different form of reading might also be done     it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the    ends, the TV networks might be forced to    with better shows in order to get us back from our newly- discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical(激进的).    will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can    childhoods without television. It wasn't that difficult.

Maybe you know the saying, “When you point one finger, there are three fingers pointing back to you.” One wise man had a version of this       when he said, “Don't focus on the dust in your brother's eye while       the dirt in your own eye.” Why do we do this? Because criticisms are always        ourselves. When we criticize others, we do not expose them, but expose ourselves. We      our own weakness and smallness.
A story in the old tales       the difference in wisdom between the good and the bad. Once a king        both Nelson and Dick. The king asks Nelson to go out into the kingdom and       after finding someone less qualified than himself. Then he asks Dick to go out into the kingdom and return after finding someone       than himself.
When Fool Dick returns, he tells the king that he couldn't find anyone better than himself.       Wise Nelson says that he was       to find anyone less qualified than himself on his return.
Moral of the story is something about human      . Good people always look at their own       and faults and consider themselves less qualified than others. Whereas bad people always look at the shortcomings and faults of others and       themselves more qualified than others.

After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my  1  for greater contact with local students,  2  I initiated(开始) the contact, it wouldn’t happen. Local students are not interested in contacts with the international students, because they regard us as shy,  3   and sometimes snobby (势利的) people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to change their opinions.
After  4    the problem, I put on my “confidence mask” each morning and walked around with a smile on my face. I chatted with people whenever I had the chance. I showed that I was not afraid to  5    them, and that I was worthy of being a friend.
A side-effect of my  6    confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the  7    of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks, and  8    behind my back calling me a weirdo(古怪的人) melted  into tears. Once that was done, I would put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day.
It finally worked  My name became known throughout the school as I appeared to be 9    and active. Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask. I had real   friends. Instead of dragging myself to school and  10   to be happy, I was truly happy. I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as Deputy Head boy----the first international student to receive the title.
From my  11    in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your  12    dreams.
