根据短文内容回答下列问题

Anna lived on the side of a valley (山谷). One winter, there was a very big flood, and a lot of houses down below Anna’s house were washed away. Anna’s house was high enough to escape the flood, so when the water had disappeared and the other houses were standing there with no roofs and walls and all covered with mud, her house was still quite all right. That year Anna’s was very lucky.

Her house was quite small and there were only two small bedrooms, her husband was dead when the children were very young, and she had four children, but Anna took in one of the families that had lost everything in the flood and she shared her home with them until it was possible for them to rebuild their house.

Anna’s friends were very puzzled (困惑) when they saw Anna do this. They could not understand why Anna wanted to give herself so much more work and trouble when she had already quite a lot of children to support. Life would be even harder when another family joined them.

“Well,” Anna explained to her friends, “at the end of the First World War, a woman in the town where I then lived in Germany found herself very poor, because her husband had been killed in the war and she had a lot of children, as I have now.”

“The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, ‘We won’t have much for Christmas this year, so I am going to get only one gift for all of us and I am sure we will all be glad to have it. Now I’ll go and get it.’ She came back with a little girl who was even poorer than they, and who had no parents. ‘Here is our gift,’ she said to her children.”

“The children were very excited and happy to get such a gift. They welcomed the little girl, and she grew up as their sister, I was just that Christmas gift.”

Americans think that travel is good for people. Some even think it can help one of the country’s worst problem—crime. (犯罪)

Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the n    1   of crimes goes up and up. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with drugs. (毒品)

There are many young criminals (罪犯) in prison. But prison doesn’t change them--60 to 70 percent will go b  2    to crime when they come out of prison.

One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a hard life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into m   3   . So Bob started “Vision Quest” (幻想探究).

He takes young criminals on a long, long j   4     with horses and wagons (马车) 3,000 miles through 7 states. They are on the road for more than one year.

The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already s  5  time in prison. This is their last chance.

It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and the girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before, b   6   they can love their horses. That love can help them to start a new life.

Not all young people in Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. 30 or 40 percent will one day be in prison a   7  . But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob is right. Travel can be good for them.

When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline (纪律) of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to be 1 , he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to 2 if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go 3 . And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break laws of his parents, he may go to prison.

Following are opinions on the manner (举止) that people in the United States usually expect in various social situations.

Men usually shake hands with each other when they meet for the first time, but shake hands with women only if the woman extends her hand first. Women do not usually shake hands with each other.

After the first meeting, shaking hands is unusual. However, if someone offers his or her hand by chance, one is expected to shake it. In general, people in the United States avoid (避免) physical touch with each other, since physical touch often suggests sexual attraction or attack.

Although, it has been noted, first names are used more often in the United States than elsewhere, this practice is generally accepted by the rules of etiquette(礼仪). Thus, while it is proper for the foreign student to address people of about his or her own age and status(身份) by their first name, the student would be expected to use “Mr.”, “Mrs.”, “Miss” or “Ms.” and the person’s last name in addressing to another person who is clearly older than the student. (On the other hand, the old person will probably address the student by his or her first name from the beginning.) If the other person being addressed has a title such as “Doctor” or “Dean”, the student should use that title and last name. For example, Doctor Edward Kennedy would be addressed as “Doctor Kennedy”. Any faculty (全体教员) member can be addressed as “Professor”, no matter whether he or she holds the rank (头衔) of Assistant (辅助的) Professor, Associate (副的) Professor, or full Professor. Equally acceptable are “Mr.”, “Mrs.”, etc.

About fifty years ago, when television first came out, people thought that radio was no longer useful. Television has both sounds and pictures. It is much more real and interesting to watch television than to listen to the radio.

However, fifty years later radio is still very popular and it will be here for a long time. One reason is that we don’t need to see pictures when we listen to music on the radio. In fact, listening with your eyes closed is the best way to listen to a piece of music. You can think yourself on a sandy beach or up high on a mountain. In other words, you can create or make your own picture.

Moreover, while listening to the radio, you don’t have to take your eyes off your work. For example, you can listen to the radio and drive at the same time. Or you can read a book and listen to the radio. Television, on the other hand, doesn’t have this advantage.

A radio is much smaller than a television. You can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime you want. In a quiet place you can use headphones to listen to the news or music on the radio. In this way you won’t disturb anybody. Moreover, a radio is much cheaper than a television. For less than $ 20 you can buy a small radio and have fun with it.

Which is better, radio or television?

1. Television was not available in 1920s.

2. Radio is no longer useful since television came out.

3. Television provides both sounds and pictures, which is more real and interesting. 

4. While you listen to music with your eyes closed, you can create your own pictures.

5. According to the passage, you can do something else while watching television.

6. A radio can be taken to anyplace because it is smaller than a television. 

7. In the author’s opinion, television is better than radio.
