    PALO ALTO, California—“Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise, ”US researchers said last week.?
    A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.9 kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.?
    “The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at Stanford University.?
    “American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled ?over? the past 20 years,” Robinson said.?
    In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.?
    Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet or took part in any extra exercise.?
    “One explanation for the weight loss could be that the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said.?
    “Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” ?Robinson? said.?
    小题1:The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that _______.
    A．children will get fatter if they eat too much?
    B．children will get thinner if they eat less?
    C．children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV?
    D．children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV?
    小题2:According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching TV_______.
    A．is more than four hours a dayB．is less than four hours a day?
    C．doubled in the last twenty yearsD．is more than on any other activities?
    小题3:The time children spend on TV viewing every day is suggested to be about _______.?
    A．six hoursB．eight hoursC．three hoursD．one hour?
    小题4:Which one of the followings is right??
    A．Children usually eat fewer while watching TV.?
    B．Children usually eat more while watching TV.?

    D．Children usually eat nothing while watching TV.?

    小题1:D

    Sometime today—perhaps several times—Dick Winter will think about the 19-year-old who saved his life.
    Because of this young man, Winter enjoys things like friendships, colours and laughter every day.
    The young man saved Winter's life by signing an organ donor card(器官捐献卡).
    “I can't say thank you enough,” Winter said yesterday at a news conference marking the tenth anniversary of the Multi Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital.
    What Winter knows of the 19?year?old who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honour his wishes and donate
    his organs for transplantation.
    His liver(肝脏) went to Winter, who was dying from liver trouble. “Not a day goes by that I don't think of what a painful thing it must have been for them，”Winter said yesterday.
    “They are very, very special people.”
    Winter, 63, is fitter now than he was 10 years ago, when he got the transplant. He has five medals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to
    collect some more next year in Japan.
    “At one time, we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people. Now it's expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before, only better.”
    The biggest change for Winter, however, isn't that he has become a competitive athlete. The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates every little thing about
    his life now.
    “I have no time for arguments,” said Winter.
    “You change everything. Material things don't mean as much. Friendships mean a lot.”
    Also at yesterday's news conference was Dr Gray Levy, Winter's doctor.
    Levy said he has bitter?sweet feelings when he looks at Winter and hears of his athletic exploits.
    Levy knows that for every recipient(接受者) like Winter, there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there aren't enough donated organs.
    “For every Mr Winter,we have five to 10 people that will never be given the chance that Mr Winter was given，” Levy said.
    Levy said greater public awareness and more resources are needed. He noted that in Spain and the United States, hospitals receive 10,000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room, doctors, nurses and teams to work with the donors' families.
    1.Which of the following is true about the 19-year-old?
    A.He died of liver trouble.
    B.He got wounded in a battle.
    C.He was willing to donate his organs.
    D.He became a recipient of a prize.
    2.What do we learn about Dick Winter?
    A.He is becoming less competitive now.
    B.He is always thinking about his early life.        
    C.He knows all about the young man and his family.
    D.He values friendships more than material things. 
    3.Dr Levy would agree that ________.
    A.Spanish hospitals have more favorable conditions for organ transplant
    B.the Canadian public have realised the importance of organ donation
    C.Spanish hospitals received more money from the donors
    D.Canadian hospitals now have enough donated organs
    4.What's the author's purpose in writing this article?
    A.The public should give more support to organ transplant.
    B.Transplant patients are thankful for the help they receive.
    C.Transplant can change a patient's life greatly.
    D.It is not easy to get organs for transplant.

    One of India's top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students' performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.
    Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. "Now, a student doesn't even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet," said Prakash Gopalan, dean of student affairs. "The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion."
    IIT-Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional (不正常的) lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.
    Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12.30 p.m. at IIT-Mumbai's 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their "shells," Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. "Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (摇篮曲) to go to sleep," said Rajiv, an electronics student.

    C．Internet access is unavailable in deep night.
    D．Students must go to bed before 11 p.m.
    小题3:In the passage the students are told to _____.
    A．sleep through their lessonsB．break away from the Internet

    Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.
    Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper. The Beldon Post:
    FIRE AT SEABREEZE
    Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors： “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.
    The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one：
    ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
    Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.
    What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.
    Now what do you think of the rest of the “news” ?
    小题1:Which of the following best gives the main idea of this text?
    A．Beldon and Canfield are both good places for tourists in summer.
    B．A fire broke out night in Seabreeze Hotel last summer.

    D．Two newspapers gave reports on the same matter.

    a. The fire broke out in a bedroom at the hotel.
    b. A cigarette started the fire.
    c. An old lamp started the fire.
    d. The fire broke out at night.
    e. There has never been a fire in Canfield.
    A．b and cB．a and dC．c and eD．a and c
    小题3:The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think _______. 
    A．hotels in Beldon often catch fire
    B．hotels in Beldon don’t often catch fire
    C．this was the second fire at the Seabreeze Hotel
    D．Beldon was a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe

    A．the bedroom lamps were very old at the Seabreeze Hotel
    B．the bedroom lights made funny noise when the fire took place
    C．the firemen failed to save clothing, bedclothes and other things

    As researchers learn more about how children's intelligence develops, they are increasingly surprised by the power of parents.The power of the school has been replaced by the home.To begin with, all the factors which are part of intelligence—the child's understanding of language，learning patterns, curiosity—are established well before the child enters school at the age of six.Study after study has shown that even after school begins, children's achievements have been far more influenced by parents than by teachers.This is particularly true about learning that is language?related.The school rather than the home is given credit for variations in achievement in subjects such as science.
    In view of their power, it's sad to see so many parents not making the most of their child's intelligence.Until recently parents had been warned by educators who asked them not to educate their children.Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only at school and parents are being asked to contribute both before and after the child enters school.
    Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home.Of course，children shouldn't be pushed to read by their parents, but educators have discovered that reading is best taught individually—and the easiest place to do this is at home.Many four?and five?year?olds who have been shown a few letters and taught their sounds will compose single words of their own with them even before they have been taught to read.
    小题1:What have researchers found out about the influence of parents and the school on children's intelligence?
    A．Parents have greater influence than the school.
    B．The school plays a greater role than parents.
    C．Parents and the school have the equal power.
    D．Neither parents nor the school has any influence.
    小题2:Researchers conclude that________.
    A．it is with the help of the teachers that children have an understanding of
    language
    B．curiosity is formed after the children enter school
    C．children's learning patterns are developed at the early age
    D．only the school can give children the opportunity to make achievements
    小题3:According to the text, in which area may school play a more important role?
    A．Moral education.B．Language education.
    C．Physical education.D．Science education.
    小题4:Many parents fail to make the most of their children's intelligence because
    ________.
    A．they usually push the children to read at home
    B．they only teach them after they enter school
    C．they teach them in a wrong way at home
    D．they were told by educators not to teach their children
