choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members,
but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most
about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mall makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends
and evenings. My working hours aren"t necessarily much shorter than they once were,
but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young
daughter than I might have if she" d been born before electronic marl became such a
practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you
do something fun -- see a great movie perhaps and there are four or five friends who
might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may be tired of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience at your convenience
and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your
message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply
jt their convenience and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far
away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with
their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of
staying in touch. They don"t take the place of any of the old ways.
B. describe the writer"s joy of keeping up with the latest technology
C. tell the value of the Internet
D. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about computers and the Internet
B. haw more time with his child
C. work at home on weekends
D. work comfortably to him
B. Internet: New Tool to Keep Good Friendship

There was the public male realm (领域)of "rational accomplishment" and cruel competition,
and the private female and child-rearing sphere of home, intuition (直觉) and emotion. The
private realm was supposed to be isolated firm the realities of adult life. For both better and
worse, television and other electronic media tend to break down the difference between
those two worlds. The membrane around the family sphere is much more permeable
(可渗透的). TV takes public events and transforms them into dramas that are played
out in the privacy of our living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms.
Parents used to be the channel through which children learned about the outside world.
They could decide what to tell their children and when to tell it to them. Since children
learn to read in stages, books provide a kind of natural screening process, where adults
can decide what to tell and not tell children of different reading abilities. Television
destroyed the system that separated adult from child knowledge and separated
information into year-by-year slices for children of different ages. Instead, it presents the
same information directly to children of all ages, without going through adult filters.
So television presents a real challenge to adults. While a parent can read a newspaper
without sharing it with children in the same room, television is accessible to everyone in
that space. And unlike books, television doesn"t allow us to flip (翻转) through it and see
what"s coming up. We may think we"re giving our children a lesson in science by having
them watch the Challenger take off, and then suddenly they learn about death, disaster and
adult mistakes.
Books allow adults to discuss privately what to tell or not tell children. This also allows
parents to keep adult material secret from children and keep their secret keeping secret.
Take that same material and put it on The Today Show and you have 800,000 children
hearing the very things the adults are trying to keep from them. "Television takes our kids
across the globe before parents give them permission to cross the street."
More importantly, children gradually learn that adults are worried and anxious about
being parents. Actually, television has also places families under a lot of stress.
research project. We have to discuss realism and dreams in television advertising, and so we are
looking for examples of things that are not true in television advertisements. The question we are asking
is, "Is the advertisement true to life, or does it offer an unreal picture of the product?"
Sylvester is keeping track of the lies, and he already has quite a long list. He says that all housewives
seem to live in lovely homes, dress beautifully, and love their household chores. They smile and boast
about floor cleaners and proudly display their dirty clothes, dirty table-tops, and dirty children. In
addition, he has never seen men doing housework. Sylvester thinks that this view of family life is filled
with things that are not true.
I am keeping track of the people who appear in the advertisements. I have found handsome men
chasing after beautiful women, and they are always recommending brand X tooth-paste or brand Y
cologne (科隆香水). I see teenagers and children with their friends, having wonderful time at parties
and at school, and they are usually enjoying large, happy family gatherings. I think that these
advertisements are also filled with things that aren"t true.
Sylvester and I have discovered that much of American life is pictured unrealistically on television.
Teenagers do not always have fun at parties, and very few people love doing chores. People do have
problems but few of these are ever shown in advertisements. Instead, we watch Cinderella discover a
miracle floor cleaner, finish the kitchen chores, and waltz off to the ball. Our heads are filled with these
dreams, and they also suggest that, for any problem, brand Z will provide the instant cure. Sylvester and
I will have very few facts and a lot of dreams to write about in our research reports.
B. They are trying to be like TV people.
C. They are interested in advertising.
D. They are doing a school project.
B. It is unrealistic.
C. It is true to life.
D. It is too boring.
B. is lacking in much imagination
C. seldom shows problems
D. gives great fun to children
B. American Life to Be Shown
C. Children Like to Sylvester Advertisements
D. Untrue Things in TV Advertising
announced, so he walked to the gate, showed his ticket, and got on the plane. After flying for twenty
minutes, the man began to worry. Oakland was north of Los Angeles, but the plane seemed to be heading west and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean. "Is this plane going to Oakland?"
he asked the flight attendant (服务员). The flight attendant was shocked. "No," she said. "We"re going to Auckland -- Auckland, New Zealand."
English is not the only language with similar-sounding words. Other languages, too, have words that
can cause mistakes, especially for foreigners.
Auckland and Oakland. When similar-sounding words cause a mistake, probably the best thing to do
is just laugh and learn from it. Of course, sometimes it"s hard to laugh. The man who traveled to Auckland
instead of Oakland didn"t feel like laughing. But even that mistake turned out all right in the end. The airline (航空公司) paid for the man"s hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his flight back to California. "Oh well," the man later said, "I always wanted to see New Zealand."
B. troubles experienced by foreigners in a new country
C. difficulties had by people when taking a plane
D. problems caused by words that sound alike
B. he saw that the flight attendant was shocked
C. he noticed the direction of the plane
D. he walked up to the gate
B. the man"s frustration
C. the man"s disappointment
D. the man"s despair

B. to learn a good pronunciation
C. to speak clearly and slowly
D. to laugh and learn from it
much more than just a great Workout. You get to be outside of the confines of a gym and be together
with nature. You breathe in the fresh, clean air while the city life you endured all week just fades away.
You are suddenly transported somewhere else. You are suddenly in a place where you can appreciate
the untouched, simplistic beauty of nature. The trees are green, the wild flowers are growing and the
woods are filled with activity. Once you experience it, you"re hooked.
Whether hiking in the deserts of Arizona or the mountains of Alberta, you suddenly realize you are
not alone and there is something much bigger at work. There is a realization that life is precious and you
think deeply about your life.
Another wonderful part of hiking is that you can participate at any level and it is, for the most part,
free. It is a great way to escape the rat race, even during the week. If you have any problems you need
to solve, hiking is really good for clearing your head and removing stress.
If hiking sounds intimidating to you, it is essentially walking on a whole new level. Experts have
spoken about the benefits of walking for years. Walking doesn"t stress your legs as much as running and
countless studies agree walking leads to weight loss and better health. It is good for your heart, reduces
illness and has even been shown to enhance your thinking. So why wouldn"t you want to do it?
B. Beautiful nature.
C. City life.
D. Precious things.
B. love it and want to do it often
C. wish you lived outside of the city
D. look for new hiking places, like Arizona
B. Thoughtful.
C. Lonely.
D. Free from stress.
B. Running is better h/r weight loss.
C. Running is good for a person"s heart.
D. Running is a cause for improved thinking.
Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping
them enjoy science can be easy; there"s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab
equipment. You only have to share your children"s curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions.
I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children
asked me "textbook questions" about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When
I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, "Now that we"re
finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?"
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢)
eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?"
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after
asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a
child to think. When adults increase their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children give
more logical(符合逻辑) , complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion,
don"t jump in with "That"s right" or "Very good". These words work well when it comes to
encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion
is over. Instead, keep things going by saying "That"s interesting" or "I"d never thought of it that
way before", or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never push a child to "Think". It doesn"t make sense, children are always thinking, without
your telling them t9. What"s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child
will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller
target for your disagreement.
Lastly, show; don"t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any
lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips
through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and they" II understand why you want them to wash before
dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发) , set a pot of water to boil and let them
watch the water level drop.
thing for adults to do is ______.
B. to share the children"s curiosity
C. to explain difficult phrases about science
D. to supply the children with lab equipment
B. any problems
C. questions from textbooks
D. any number of questions
if adults ______.
B. wait for one or two seconds after a question
C. tell them to answer the next day
D. wait at least for three seconds after a question
except that adults should ______.
B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves
C. be patient enough when their children answer questions
