    Television has turned 88 years old on September 7, 2015, and it has never looked better.

    In its youth, television was a piece of furniture with a tiny, round screen showing unclear pictures of low­ budget programs. In spite of its shortcomings, it became well-received. Between 1950 and 1963, the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population.

    As the audience got larger, the technology got better. Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s. Both of the reception and the picture improved. The major networks started broadcasting programs in color.

    Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown, who wrote an article for the Post in 1967. Surprisingly, just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality. For example: All sets in the not­ distant future will be color instruments. He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller, simpler, more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work. Smaller sets do not, of course, mean smaller screens. TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger. However, today's 3­D TV is even farther away, if it's coming at all. There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it, in view of people's cold reception given to 3­D movies.

    But the technology with the greatest potential, according to Brown, was cable television (有线电视), which was still in its early stages then. As he predicted, the future of cable television was highly interactive. It wasn't cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world, however. It was the Internet. He even foresaw the future office: using picture phones, big screen televisions for conferences, and computers providing information, at the touch of a button.

    Brown ever said, “The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent. It's a question of what we want.”

    1.What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?

    A.They were very popular with Americans.

    B.The reception showed no improvement

    C.They showed black­-and-­white pictures

    D.They were out of order now and then

    2.Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?

    A.Television's good quality.

    B.The invention of 3­-D TV.

    C.The future office’s model

    D.The potential of cable TV.

    3.What is the text mainly about?

    A.The shortcomings of television.

    B.The bright future of television.

    C.The development of television.

    D.The invention of television.

    Learning English can be a difficult task. While many people learn English in the classroom, the vast majority of English learning takes place outside of it.

    1. , it is important to know how it is used in everyday life. One of the best things you can do is to read. First ask yourself what you enjoy reading in your native language. If the subject matter is interesting to you, you will be more likely to keep going. Read a variety of different media in English, from magazines to novels. 2. . New York Times takes a more formal approach to the English language than somebody's personal blog.

    Consider your English level when selecting reading material. 3. , but do not frustrate yourself needlessly by selecting a complex text . You can choose to be a side-by-side reader, with the English text on one page and its translation on the other page, if you have only been studying English for a couple of years.

    4. . So do not look up every word you don't know as you read. It will only slow things down and make the reading process much less fun. Instead, rely on what you have already known. When you come across a difficult word or phrase，use context clues to guess at its meaning. Write down or underline any words or phrases you cannot figure out. When you have finished reading, go to your list of new words. Now you can get your dictionary and look them up one by one. 5. . You will be more likely to keep reading the interesting subject.

    A. Challenge yourself

    B. To better understand a language

    C. When you want to learn English, try New York Times

    D. Turn them into flash cards, keep them in mind and use them

    E. Putting a dictionary at hand is a good way of learning English

    F. Your reading goal is to briefly understand what the piece is saying

    G. The content and writing styles vary with the group of readers
