Elizabeth and I are 18 now, and about to graduate. I think about our elementary school friendship, but some memories have blurred(模糊). What happened that day in the fifth grade when Beth suddenly stopped speaking to me? Does she know that I’ve been thinking about her for seven years? If only we could go back, and discover what ended our relationship.

I have to speak with Beth. I see her sometimes, and find out school is “fine”. It’s not the same. It never will be. Someone says that she’s Liz now. what happened to Beth?

I can’t call her. Should I write? What if she doesn’t answer me? How will I know what she’s thinking?

Yes, I’ll write her a letter. These things are easier to express in writing. “Dear Be-,” no, “Dear Li-” no, “Dear Elizabeth,” I begin. The words flow freely, as seven-year-old memories are reborn. I ask her all the questions that have been left unanswered in my mind, and pray she will answer. I seal my thoughts in the perfect white envelope, and imagine Beth looking into the mailbox. Will she know why I’m writing? Maybe she once thought of writing the same letter.

As the mailman takes my envelope from me forever, I wonder if I’ve made the right decision. Do I have the right to force myself into Beth’s life again? Am I simply part of the past? I have taken the first stop. Beth has control of the situation now.

One day has passed. Are my words lying on the bottom of the post office floor.

Two days are gone. I’m lost in thought and don’t even hear the phone ring.

A schoolgirl saved her father's life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic (过敏的) reaction which stopped his heart.

Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm's heart by stamping (踩) on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.

Izzy's mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR.

However, she quickly discovered her arms weren't strong enough, so she stamped on her father's chest instead.

Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions (按压) until the ambulance arrived.

Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said: "I just kicked him really hard. My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn't strong enough to use hands. I was quite scared. The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse. My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his

"She's a little star," said Debbie, "i was really upset but Izzy just took over. I just can't believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid.

Watching television makes it easier for toddlers (学步的孩子) to kick and scream, according to a US study.Children under two should not watch any TV.The longer they sit in front of TV，the worse their behavior becomes.

Just having the TV on in the background, even if the child wasn't watching it，was also connected to troublemaking behavior although the relationship wasn't as strong, said the researchers.

“Parents should be smart about TV use，”researcher Jennifer Manganello from the University at Albany, New York, said.

“They should limit the time that children use TV, pay attention to the content of TV programs，and consider how TV is used throughout the home.”

The study looked at 3,128 women from 20 US cities who had a child between 2005 and 2008.

While there was some diversity(差异) of education among the women，one?third hadn't graduated from high school.

Two?thirds of the mothers said their three?year?old children watched more than two hours of TV a day，and the average viewing time for children was around three hours.On average，the TV was on for about five additional hours on a common day.

After accounting for factors(因素) such as living in a violent neighborhood，scientists also found watching TV was strongly connected to behavior such as hitting others，having angry moods，being disobedient(不服从的)，and screaming a lot.

The researchers thought that children may see violence on TV，and spend less time on positive development tasks such as reading or playing.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests no TV at all for children at two and younger，and two hours a day or less for older kids.

1.What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Children should choose positive programs.

B．Watching TV can make children violent.

C．Children should keep away from TV.

D．Parents should watch less TV.

2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A．Children can watch good programs.

B．Children will be affected as long as the TV is on.

C．It's OK that the TV is on if children don't watch it.

D．Children's trouble?making behavior is mainly caused by watching TV.

3.What can be learned about the study between 2005 and 2008 from the passage?

A．The women studied have different jobs.

B．The TV was on for about three hours.

C．Most women allowed their children to watch TV.

D．Most women studied hadn't graduated from high school.

4.Children who spend much time watching TV will ________.

A．become easily angry

B．be influenced by others
