A. TV’s Influence on Children’s Life
B. Argument Against Violence on TV
C. TV’s Influence on People’s Leisure Activities
D. The Importance of Violence in Real Life
E. Attractions of Violence on TV
F.  TV’s Power
小题1:_________
Television has probably been the most powerful medium in shaping the new community. The electronic community gives us our mutual friends, our significant events and our daily chats. The “produced” relationships of television families become our models for intimacy. We know media stars better than we know our neighbors. Most of us can discuss their lives better than we can discuss those of our relatives. We think a man who plays a doctor on TV actually know something about medicine
小题2:_________
TV isolates people in their spare time. People spend more time watching music videos but less time making music with each other. People in small town now watch international cable networks instead of driving to their neighbor’s house for cards. Women watch soaps instead of attending church circles or book clubs. When company comes, the kids are sent to the TV room with videos.
小题3:_________
Parent are not the main influence in the lives of their children. Some of the first voices children hear are from the television, the first street they know is Sesame Street. A child playing Nintendo is learning different lessons than a child playing along a creek or playing dominoes with a grandfather.
小题4:_________
The time devoted to violence on TV in no way reflects its importance in real life. In real life, most of us exercise, work, visit our friends, read, cook and eat and shop. Few of us spend any significant amount of our time solving murders or fleeing psychotic killers. On television there are many more detective and murderers than exist in the real world. A rule of thumb about violence is “If it bleeds, it leads.” Violence captures viewers’ attention. Our programs have become increasing violent.
小题5:_________
Some might say that there is nothing new under the sun. Of course, in a narrow sense, they are correct. There have always been murderers, and stories about violence have been the theme of literature and song. However, things are different now. Children are exposed to hundreds of examples of violence every day. The frequency and intensity of these images is unprecedented in the history of humanity. We have clear records that this exposure makes it more likely that children will be violent and increase their fear levels about potential violence.

During a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place in the body: the body’s oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic (交感的) nervous system activity.This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness.
How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy.A recent report by Dr.David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal “American psychologist” said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation (冥想) does.Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree.These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation.
The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there.One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate.Once you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best on you.
Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, auto analysis and progressive muscle relaxation response.More than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.
小题1:According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true when a person is in a state of deep relaxation?
A.The body takes in less oxygen.
B.The heart beats less frequently.
C.Muscles become tense and the body sweats easily.
D.The consciousness becomes more or less calmed.
小题2:People seem to agree that ____.
A.sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation does
B.structured relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person
C.to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various means
D.what people are all struggling for is a state of deep relaxation
小题3:In the third paragraph, the phrase “getting there” means _____.
A.arriving at one’s destination
B.getting what one wants most
C.finding out a suitable relaxation technique
D.reaching a state of deep relaxation
小题4:The author’s attitude toward relaxation discussed in the passage is best described as ______.
A.scepticalB.objectiveC.optimistic D.critical
It was the beginning of a new term. As a(n)   36  teacher in that school, I didn’t know any of the students. A little girl was   37  at the gate of the classroom. She looked very   38 .
I walked up to her and asked   39  she stood there. But she said   40 . Instead, a boy shouted, “She is from Grade Four, the   41  student in her grade.” I looked at the little girl, who didn’t seem to be the smart kind. I   42  why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her hand and   43  her into the classroom.
“Sit here. Now you are my student and I’m your teacher,” I said. She   44  said nothing, but she burst into tears.
I later learnt that her parents   45  in a car accident, and she had   46  talking to others since then. She learnt very   47 . I gave her respect and never   48  her as I know everybody deserves (值得) respect. I   49  her after school, and she was making   50  little by little. I encouraged her and as   51  went by, she was not as shy as before. At the end of the term, she seemed to have forgotten all her   52 . She was not one of the best students when she left that school,   53  at least, she was not that shy and sad little girl any longer.
In the following   54 , she would send me a card on each Thanksgiving Day. Three days ago, I received a(n)   55  to her wedding. And now, I am at her wedding, and she is smiling brightly.
Everyone deserves respect and everyone can be happy!

Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really __1__your feeling?”
Immediately, he said, “Yes. Last Christmas you promised us a special    2   that I really wanted but you never gave it to me.”
The    3  was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I   4    , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but didn’t apologized for?”
Again, his   5   was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the  6   because Stephen was going to be born? You left us at home and  7       in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he  8    all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were  9   . When you got home, the suitcase had been opened and everythinghad been thrown all over the place, and you   10  me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t . I was just searching for my gift.”
My heart sank. I felt  11   . I hugged Keith and asked him to  12    me. His Honesty made me think of our other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the same question. Kevin’s answer was as immediate as his  13   , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forgot about it.”
Though Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The  14   thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was I’d made a promise too  15    and didn’t keep it as their father.

My chance came at last. Our school was going to hold a sports meet. I knew what it   41  to me so I got up very early to prepare for it. I  42  running and jumping. When I was   43 , I reminded myself of my promise and went on.
  44  the time came nearer, I felt quite   45 . On the first day I came fourth in the 1500m   46  but I was far from   47  because what I wanted most was the highlight of the sports meeting—250x8 relay race. I would run the last leg for my team.
With a shot, the race began. All the students were   48  for their team. The competition was so   49  that I began to feel nervous. Before my turn came, my team was   50  the others. Even worse, I almost dropped the stick when I was trying to   51  it.
  52 after that, there was nothing in my mind except to run as fast as possible. Just when I was approaching the finish line, my legs   53 . Then my promise came to mind again and   54  me to go on. To my surprise, I was the first to   55 the finish line!
  56 , I had proved to myself and those who had often laughed at me that I am not   57  at all! My classmates greeted me warmly and I hugged them tightly. I had won the prize as well as their   58 .
From the sports meeting, I learnt that sometimes things are not so difficult as they   59  to be. Just try your best without fear and you might be surprised at the   60 .

“ Are you too stupid to do anything right?”These words—said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son—were spoken   21   he had walked away from her.They boy returned, his eyes down-cast.
Not a   22    moment, perhaps,   23    small moments sometimes last a very long time.And a few words—though they mean   24   at the time to the people who say them—can have great   25   .
I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff.For the last 24 years he has been a professional   26   .Here is what he told me:
As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly   27   .He had few   28   and no self-confidence.One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment(作业).The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird.Now they were to write their own chapter that would   29    the last chapter of the novel.
Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it   30  .Today he can not recall anything   31 
about the chapter he wrote, or what   32   Mrs.Branch gave him.What he does remember is the four words Mrs.Brach wrote in margin(空白处)of the paper:“This is   33  writing.”
Four words.They   34    his life.
  35    I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or   36  I was going to be.”he said.“After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been   37   of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs.Brach to evaluate.She was   38    , tough and honest.“She was just what I
  39  .”Dalkoff said.
His confidence   40  .Dalkoff believes that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of his paper.

What exactly is a lie ?Is it anything we say which we know is untrue ?Or is it something more than that ?For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you, but I am short of money myself.” In fact , you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie ?
Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it’s terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise that they have no intention of carrying out. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at :the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.
Research has been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now”. They also tend to touch certain parts of the face, particularly the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose  is very sensitive to changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.
Another gesture that gives liars away is what the writer Decmond Morris in his book Man Watching calls the “mouth cover”. He says that there are several typical forms of this ,such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side off the mouth. Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious(未察觉的) attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself from lying.
Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth , moving about in a chair can not be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to happen more often in this situation. It is one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things , and in particular the context(上下文) which the lie is told.
小题1:According to the passage, a white lie seems to be a lie ______.
A.that other people believe
B.that other people don’t believe
C.told in order not to hurt someone’s feelings
D.told in order to take advantage of someone
小题2:Research suggests that women _____.
A.are better at telling less serious lies than men
B.generally lie for more than men do
C.often make promises they intend to break
D.lie at parties more often than men do
小题3:Researchers find that when a person tells lies _____.
A.his blood pressure increases measurably
B.he looks very serious
C.he is likely to make some small changes in his behavior
D.he uses his unconscious mind
小题4:The writer of the passage______.
A.hates lyingB.enjoys lyingC.often tells a lieD.tries to study about lying
小题5:Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a sign of lying ?
A.Touching one’s earsB.Rubbing the nose
C.Moving in a chairD.Covering the mouth

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know 36  you think you are a 37  person or a coward (懦夫). But you will never really know the answer to this question 38  you are tested in real life. Some people  39  they are brave but when they come face to face with real 40 , they act like cowards. Others think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like 41  .
Lenny had always thought of himself as a 42  person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and health.

Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not  48 .
When you are in a very 49  situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood. The chemical is called adrenalin.  50  adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are 51  to fight or run away. However, when you are absolutely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this 52 , the muscles become very hard and you find you 53  at all. You are then paralyzed (使无能为力) with fear. This is 54 when we are very frightened, we sometimes say we’re “petrified”. This word comes from the Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”. We are 55  frightened that we become stonelike.
