¡¾´ð°¸¡¿Dear Mr. Smith,

I read about your Hand-in-Hand Program on your website just now. I¡¯m writing to apply to join in it, as the idea is very appealing to me.

I¡¯m a senior high school student with an outgoing personality and thus very willing to reach out to others and make new friends. I have a wide range of hobbies, such as reading and writing poems; I am also good at sports, among other things. Besides, I devote a fair amount of my spare time to photography.

If I¡¯m accepted, I will act as a bridge between British and Chinese students. I¡¯d like to invite my British friends to our school and I¡¯ll spare no effort to be a perfect guide for them.

Yours,

Li Hua

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿ Eric Davis got interested in firefighting when he was in the army. And while much of his job today is related to EMS(emergency medical services)£¬his first love is fighting fires. "I enjoy the job and working with people. I enjoy firefighting.¡± he says.

Davis studied in a firefighting school for about three months and took part in classroom work£¬physical exercise£¬and hands-on training such as fighting live fires in buildings filled with straw.

Davis says the blindfold(ÃÉÑÛµÄ)training prepared him for real fires. "By the time we get to a fire£¬if it¡¯s going pretty good£¬the whole house will be filled with smoke. And anytime you get near the fire, you won¡¯t be able to see at all. Zero visibility(ÄܼûÐÔ)is the same as darkness. The blindfold training works.¡±

Davis believes his most important duty is making sure he¡¯s prepared for any situation he might come across. To keep physically fit£¬he runs several times a week and works out. He takes classes to keep up his skills and trains regularly by fighting practice fires. Sometimes this includes cutting holes in roofs, which helps allow smoke to pass out and improves visibility for firefighters inside the building.

Firefighting means plenty of risks. Besides£¬Davis says¡¤"You have to be willing to help any person you come across.¡± If someone is trapped£¬Davis or another firefighter will put himself at risk to get the person out. Davis says he is not afraid when he¡¯s fighting a fire. He does what¡¯s needed.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿ Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it¡¯s important to distinguish television¡¯s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn¡¯t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children¡¯s minds.

One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child¡¯s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images. Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.

Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn¡¯t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parent¡¯s educational background have a stronger influence on a child¡¯s reading. ¡°A child¡¯s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads,¡± Anderson says.

Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it¡¯s the other way around. ¡°If you¡¯re smart young, you¡¯ll watch less TV when you¡¯re older,¡± Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.

For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.

¡¾1¡¿Which of the following is most related to children¡¯s reading ability?

A.Radio-listening.B.Television-watching.

C.Parents¡¯ reading list.D.Parents¡¯ educational background.

A.the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is

B.the younger a child is, the more he watches TV

C.the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV

D.the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school

¡¾3¡¿What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To advise on the educational use of TV.

B.To describe TV¡¯s harmful effects on children.

C.To explain traditional views on TV influences.

D.To present Anderson¡¯s unconventional ideas.
