【题目】Television is good. You'd like to watch it all day and all night. But too much TV is a very bad thing, especially for kids. It may negatively affect their study and health.

Scientists have found that kids who watch too much TV may have more trouble learning to read than other kids. They may have worse language skills. Kids learn language skills best by reading, talking and playing with others. If they spend too much time watching TV, they'll have less time for those things. It may make it harder for them to get on well with others when they grow up.

Watching too much TV is also harmful for kid's health. It’s bad for the eyes. Kids don’t move much while watching TV. What’s more, they may eat a lot of food while watching TV. This can make them fat. We call people who watch too much TV “couch potatoes.”

Fighting on TV is a big problem for kids. An American child will watch a lot of fighting acts on TV every year. Young people are good at following others. Scientists say that those who watch a lot of fighting shows are more likely to fight.

So listen to the scientists. Watch TV for one or two hours a day at most or try to turn off your TV for a week. There are lots of fun things to do.(改编于《初中英语读本9上》

【题目】Joe was an old man. The 75-year-old lived very happily in a village and had a beautiful family. His children grew up and moved to different cities. Now, Joe has four grandchildren, and they visit him during their holidays.

During one vacation, Joe was preparing his home for the kids: cleaning and buying their favorite foods. After he finished working, he realized he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch very much, especially after his wife’s death. He was very upset about losing it.

Once his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch.

One granddaughter asked: “Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?”

“I guess when I was cleaning the barn!” Joe replied.

The children looked for more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it. The kids were now also sad, but they tried to comfort their grandfather.

One grandson went back to the barn to look again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time. But the little boy just asked the others not to follow him and to keep silent.

He was there for about 15 minutes and then rushed to his grandfather. He found the watch and happily gave it to Joe.

Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy replied: ”I sat there without making a noise, and the barn was so silent. After a few minutes, I heard the ‘tick, tick’ sound and found the watch.”

Joe hugged and thanked the little boy.
