Those who plan to film a hostage （人质） scene might want to make it obvious to everyone around them that it' s a simulation．That may be the lesson that an independent film crew learned in Larimer County, Colo．after sheriff s deputies （治安警察） surrounded them during a shoot for a low -budget feature movie．Members of the crew were at a campground near Lake Carter, shooting a scene where the lead actor takes a girl hostage and beats up on a man who tries to intervene （干涉）．"It happened very suddenly after that．We heard, 'freeze' " said Director Eileen Agosta．They were in the middle of the scene when a team of Larimer County sheriff s deputies ran over, shouting orders to get on the ground, pointing guns at the crew, actor Chris Borden said．Members of the crew were cuffed （戴上手铐） and held on the ground until the situation was sorted out．Borden said he believes the only reason the deputies didn't shoot him was because they saw a cameraman．Maj．Justin Smith of the Larimer County Sheriff s Department said deputies received a call from someone at the lake and sheriff s deputies raced to the park, blocking roads．"I think it shows great self - control, great training and great judgment " said Cpl, Scott Shellhaas, a sheriff s spokesman．"They didn't rush into the situation and make a potentially bad situation worse．"Borden said the incident would have been funny except for the fact that he was issued a citation （传票） for disorderly conduct．Agosta was also cited for being an accessory to disorderly conduct．"It was complete ignorance on my part," said Agosta．"I honestly thought you could tell what we were doing… I wouldn' t have chosen a state park at 3 : 30 （p．m．） on Saturday if I was going to hurt somebody．" Authorities said the scene they saw was realistic enough - - - a woman handcuffed to a car, a man handgun - striking another man, people injured and bloodied and someone with a small video camera filming the event．"It is certainly not beyond belief these days that individuals do videotape crimes as they commit them," said Smith．"Having a video camera there did not necessarily mean there was not a threat．"

I'm afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals are getting younger all the time, but unfortunately the offences they commit are becoming proportionately more serious. I only wish we didn't have to admit this but, in doing so we must first ask ourselves what's wrong with our society that our children apparently couldn't care less about law and order. The days of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples off a barrel or nicked a packet of sweets from a chain store are virtually over. I had occasion to say this to a young offender the other day. “Sweets from a chain store?” be said, “You must be joking. That's kid's stuff.” I may add that he was aged eleven. In other words, today's young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description. They've got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want, anyway. I think we have come to the point where it's all too easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves. Faced as they are with a society that frequently rejects them on the grounds of colour, race or low academic ability, these children turn to crime as a means of boosting their self-esteem. Nurtured on films and TV glamorising the role of the criminal, they are quick to identify with these anti-heroes. It is a matter of increasing concern to the police and magistrates that the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969, is becoming inadequate to deal with the rise in juvenile delinquency. Because the emphasis has been placed on the cause and treatment of their delinquency, rather than on old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves are well aware that there is very little that can be done to prevent them continuing to mug, vandalise and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorise. I don't like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own interests and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take the “it's nothing to do with me” attitude we have adopted for so long. We must unite in a common demand for harsher and more disciplined methods against these young offenders.

查看习题详情和答案>>those who enjoy killing people on screen disagree with the result. "I have played the most violent games
available on the market today, "writes Mateo, 15. "I don't go killing people or stealing cars because I
see it in a game. My parents say that, as long as I remember it's a game, I can play whatever I want. "
Despite what they say, many scientific studies clearly show that violent video games make kids more
likely to yell, push, and punch, says Brad Bushman, a psychologist at the University of Michigan in
Ann Arbor. Bushman and his colleagues recently reviewed more than 300 studies of video media effects
and said, " We included every single study we could find on the topic. Regardless of what kids say,
violent video games are harmful. "
TV has been around a lot longer than video games, so researchers have more data on the longterm
effects of violent TV shows on people than they do on the effects of violent video games. Scientists at
the University of Michigan recorded the TVwatching habits of hundreds of first and third graders in
1977. Fifteen years later, the researchers looked at what kind of adults these kids had become. By
the time they were in their early twenties, women who had watched violent shows as kids were four
times as likely to have punched, choked, or beaten other people as were women who didn't watch
such programs as kids. Boys who watched violent TV grew up to be three times as likely to commit
crimes as boys who didn't watch such programs. But that doesn't mean that everyone who watched
violent programs ended up being violent themselves. It was just more likely to happen for some people.

A. violent TV shows have more bad effects on people than violent video games

A. had better watch violent TV shows than play violent games
B. should try to control our behaviors after playing violent games

C. government has taken measures to stop violent shows and games
D. TV has been around a lot longer than video games
Unfortunately, concerned about instability in the job market, many students are worried about facing an ever more uncertain future and consequently they have begun to feel lost, according to a survey. The survey, conducted by the Social Survey Institute of China, covers more than 2,000 college students from big cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai.

Undoubtedly, pressure exists, and 75 percent of the students are worried about finding a job upon graduation.

Only 8.3 percent have a clear idea of what they want to do and are confident of achieving their hopes and dreams.

Independent answers such as “do things in your own way” and “forget other people’s opinions” seemed to be popular among modern college students with 75 percent conforming more or less to this attitude. 25 percent alone admitted to worrying about comments from other people.
The survey also discovered a strong feeling of confidence among students when dealing with interpersonal relationships and that personalities were slightly influenced by the surrounding environment. Most students criticized the phenomenon of suicide on campus. 58.3 percent urged authorities to discover hidden social reasons behind suicide, thus helping to prevent it. 33.3 percent thought students who try to commit suicide will not be able to face life’s bigger challenges in the future even if they survive.
