After World War II, the population of 6 large American cities decreased; 7 , the population in many Sun Belt cities increased. Los Angeles and Houston are cities

During this time, in the 9 1940s and early 1950s, city people became wealthier. They had more children. They needed more 10 . They moved out their flats in the city to buy their own houses. They bought houses in the 11 , areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American “dream” was to have a house on the outskirts.
Now things are changing. The children of the people who 12 the cities in the 1950s are now adults. They, 13 their parents, want to live in the cities. 14 continue to move to cities in the Sun Belt.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the 1 side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 2 in good health, or 3 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 4 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 5 the title. Therefore, the scissors(剪刀)would

How 13 that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 14 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.
In fact that is what 15 is like: we are often 16 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only 17 we get into another. The 18 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I 19 remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual(不经意) 20 may not be a bad one.

Last Thursday, the day before I got on the plane to fly to China, I went to see a movie. It wasn’t just any movie, but the recently released(上映)Harry Potter blockbuster(耗费巨资拍摄的电影)“The philosopher’s Stone” that has 1 Britain, America, and now Japan, by storm.
The film is a tale of witchcraft(魔法) 2 in modern-day Britain. Based on a book by J. K. Rowling, 3 tells the story of a very 4 baby, seared at birth by an evil wizard who kills his parents. The only legacy (遗赠物)of the tragedy is a red 5 on the baby’s forehead-and magical 6 , inherited(继承)from his mother and father, to fight against and overcome evil.
The Harry Potter myth was founded five years ago by Joanne Rowling, a 7 single mother living in Edinburgh, in the north of the United Kingdom. To date, 110 million 8 of her books have been sold worldwide. But before her publishers would 9 the first manuscript(手稿),Joanne Rowling 10 agree to change her name on the book cover to J. K. Rowling

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 1 , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a 2 were accepted: families might use the time for a real family hour. They might 3 together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our 4 —everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 5 illness—are caused at least in part by 6 to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to 7 our problems, we might get to know each other better.
On evening when such talk is 8 , families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a 9 together to watch the sunset
10 they might take a walk together. 11 free time and no TV, children and adults might rediscover reading. There is more entertainment in 12 than in a TV program. 13 report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 14 at the college level. 15 is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different 16 of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the 17 ends, the TV networks might be forced to 18 with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical(激进的).How will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years 19 television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can 20 childhoods without television. It wasn’t that difficult.
