读下面的短文，从语法角度分析下列部分
It was on Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home that I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang．I opened the front door and saw a little boy and a little girl in rags, sitting inside the storm on the top doorstep．The boy was holding a cigarette end．
“Any old papers, lady?” asked the girl．
I was busy．I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet．They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow．
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot Coca-Cola．”
They walked over and sat down at the table．Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor．I served them CocaCola and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside．Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household．
The silence in the front room struck me．The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it．The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, any cigarette? ”
“Am I rich? Mercy, no! Why a cigarette?” I was surprised．
“I have been smoking for a long time．Five years ago, one day I had a stomach．My father gave me something like a cigarette．I smoke a little and then I felt much better．Since then…” said the boy．
I looked at my shabby slipcovers．The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers．” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply．They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind．They hadn’t said thankyou．They didn’t need to．They had done more than that．
What a boy and a girl!

"Yes, but what did we use to do before there was television?" How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn't been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admit the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never found it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theaters, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talk occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the "goggle-box". We rush home or gulp down（吞咽）our meals to be in time for this or that program. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do-anything providing it doesn't interfere with the program. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a program, he is quickly silenced.
The whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly (television). Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The telly is universal pacifier（抚慰者）．It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set.It doesn’t matter that the children will watch rubbishy commercials or violence－so long as they are quiet.
There is little limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of programs are bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programs, the whole world becomes a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate（无文字的）communities. We become completely dependent on the two most primitive media of communication: pictures and the spoken word.
Television encourages passive enjoyment. We become content with secondhand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We got so lazy; we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be a splendid medium of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other. We only become aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountain, far away from civilization. In quiet, natural surroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the repetitive oppression of King Telly.
