单选题Teenage boys, regardless of race, are more likely to die from gunshot wounds than from all natural causes combined. By the time the average American child leaves elementary school, he or she will witness 8,000 murders and more than 100,000 acts of violence on television. Youth are becoming involved in violence at an alarming rate. In fact, the youth arrest rate for murder doubled, from 6 arrests per 100,000 youth age 10 to 17 to over 12 per 100,000. The American Psychological Association Commission on Violence and Youth reported on a study of first and second graders in Washington D.C.: 45% said they had witnessed muggings (行凶抢劫), 31% said they had witnessed shootings, and 39% said they had seen dead bodies. For the many youth who have not been directly exposed to violence in their own communities, the entertainment media (television, movies, music and video games) provides many opportunities for children to see and hear violent exchanges. Research shows that there are about 5-6 violent acts per hour on prime time and 20-25 violent acts on Saturday morning children"s programming. In its report, Psychology and You: Violence on Television , the American Psychological Association (APA) reported that viewing violence on television hurts children in many ways. In particular, the APA concludes that children may become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others, be more fearful of the world around them, be more likely to behave in aggressive or harmful ways toward others, and gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry also cautions that children may imitate the violence they observe on television. Another form of violence involving youth is physical punishment in the schools. This form of discipline still remains legally supported in 23 of our nation"s states. The Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Education reported that 555,000 students were physically punished in the schools during this school year. Although such punishment has been regarded as an effective method of discipline by those who apply it, the findings are obvious that physical punishment does not work and that children who are victims of physical punishment are subject to potential long-term physical and emotional damage.

单选题How My Life"s Journey Began It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn"t know enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Morn in a humble house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. But one day Morn changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned—books. So she came home one day, snapped off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. "You boys are going to read two books every week," she said. "And you"re going to write me a report on what you read." We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn"t have any books in the house other than Mom"s Bible . But she explained that we would go where the books were: "I"1l drive you to the library." So pretty soon there were these two bad-tempered boys sitting in her car on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children"s books. The first book I read clear through was about seals. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. Soon I began to look forward to visiting this quiet sanctuary (避难所) from my other world. Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of paediatric neurosurgery (小儿神经外科). Sometimes I still can"t believe my life"s journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery. But I know when the journey began—the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in her car for that drive to the library.
