    Television has now come to nearly every family. It has become a very important part in people"s life.
School children in some cities watch TV about twenty hours a week.
     Some people believe that television is good for children because it helps them learn about their country
and the world. With the help of programmes of education, children do better in school.
     Other people feel that there are too many programmes about love and crime on TV, and that even
programmes of education don"t help children a lot. Children simply watch too much television, so they
don"t do a lot of other important things for their education.
     Children of three to six learn to speak their own language and talk with people. When they are watching
TV, they are only listening to the language, and they aren"t talking with anyone. When school children watch
TV, they read less. Because of this they don"t learn to read or write quickly at school. All children learn by
doing, and they need time to play in order to learn about the world. When they watch TV, they play less.
They also have less time to do with their parents and friends, and they have less time to have sports.
     Recently, a hundred and fifteen families in a middle school decided to stop watching for a month or more.
At first it was difficult, but there were soon a lot of good changes. The children read, played, and exercised
more and the family became full of joy. But at the end of the month all the families began to watch TV as
much as before. Not one family was able to give up television completely.

1. Why does television become a very important part for school children in some cities?

2. According to this article, what good things do television programmes help children to learn about?

3. Give the two reasons against children"s watching TV in Paragraph 3.

4. It is true that all children learn by doing. What do children need to do for their healthy personal growth?

5. What is the best title for this passage (短文)?

    "I don"t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me
angry," said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your
parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not
so friendly in their children"s eyes?
    One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying things. They worry about
everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you
angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food
you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you
to grow up healthily and happily.
    So how can you make things easier on yourself? It"s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know
what you"re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don"t
call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take
responsibility (责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with
you.
    Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practising being parents and
need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on
with your children.

    Many people use email to communicate with each other. If you can surf the Internet, it is a great 1 to send
messages easily, quickly and as often as you like. No 2 is it necessary to find a pen or paper, not to 3 an
envelope or stamp.
    Are we missing anything by not writing paper letters to people? Must you take the 4 of writing them if you
want to receive such letters? Most people would probably answer, "No, it is a waste of paper 5 , and this is
a much better system." It is hard to be against such a viewpoint. However, I would like to try.
    I believe that the kinds of letters people 6 to write were probably more 7 than billions of emails sent
today. Of course, when it 8 to sending quick messages, email is the best. If 9 is important, email is
particularly useful. 10 , if you want really to touch someone, a letter is more personal.  11  letters are the most
personal. If you can type fast, you can put a lot into a letter, but it lacks (缺少) the special sense that comes
from seeing the handwriting. As long as it is understandable, it doesn"t matter how tidy it is. When someone sits
down and just writes to you, you will   12 that when you are reading it.
    Though I"m a teenager, I admit that I feel too 13 to receive a letter in the mail. I love seeing my name
written by hand on 14 . You make yourself a cup of coffee, sit down in a comfortable place, open your 15 ,
and enjoy everything that the person puts into those words just for you. What a gift!
