It's no secret that most busy American mothers use the TV set   [21]   (介词)a live-in babysitter. In some families the TV holds a child's attention for half   [22]   (冠词)hour or two while mom works on dinner; in others it is the child's constant daytime companion. Is there any harm in this?

  Debate on the question is very hot, and periodically research is published   [23]   (show)that TV reduces attention space, makes children upset or causes them to be violent. In today's cartoon David Horsey makes   [24]   of (短语动词)the show-off of "children's TV". It is said  [25]   (从属连词) the special programing supposedly uses entertainment to help youngsters to learn to read and take their  [26]   (数词) steps in the big, diverse world outside their family. But what do children really get from this programming?

  Horsey's suspicion is   [27]   (从属连词)children's programming chiefly turns kids into TV addicts(上了瘾的人), not into readers or happy mixers. The kids, still at their early age, are attracted by the figures on the screen. "Can you say TV?" The  [28]   (soon) the kid learns the word, the more effectively he can remind his mother to turn on the TV.

  A child hooked on TV tends  [29]   (构成非谓语动词) fix his eyes on commercial advertisement, and there are plenty of those targeting children of all ages. Thus, at the very least, mom tries to search for a certain way to make the kids quiet and peaceful , hence changing a child    [30]   (介词) an American shopper all day long. Spending too much time on the tube will have an ill effect on the kids.

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long way to where God lived ,so he packed his suitcase          (1)(介词)some bread and six bottles of root beer and he started his       (2)(名词).

    When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old man who was sitting in the park just   (3)(stare)at some pigeons . The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase .

    As it grew dark ,the boy realized how tired he was and got up to leave ,but before he had gone more than a few steps ,he       (6)(短语动词), ran back to the old man, and gave him     (7)(冠词)hug . The old man gave him his biggest smile ever.

    When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later ,his mother        (8)(surprise)by the look of joy on his face .She asked him, “What did you do today that made you so happy?” He replied, “I had lunch with God” But before his mother could respond, he added, “You know what? God’s got the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen!”

    The old man went home also with a look of peace on his face .His son asked , “Dad , what did you do today that made you so happy? He replied, “I ate a piece of bread in the park with God” However ,before his son responded , he added, “He is very young I never expected that.”(9)(改成一个句子)

    Too often we underestimate(低估)the power of a touch ,a smile or a kind word ,all of them have the potential to turn a life around(10)(改正错误)
