单选题Dina Borzekowsld made a study of a group of third-grade students from six American schools. During a school year, nearly 400 students and their parents were asked to report on whether they had such things as televisions and computers in the home, as well as how often the child used them. The children's language ability was tested (测验) twice over the year. Children who had a television set in the bedroom but did not have a computer at home scored (得分) the lowest, while students without TV in the bedroom but with a computer at home scored the highest. Students who had a television in the bedroom over the school year scored lower than those who had their TV taken away during the same time. "This study suggests that taking TV sets out children's bedrooms, or not putting them there, may be helpful," said Borzekowski. "While this study does not prove ( 证 明) that bedroom TV was the reason for the lower test scores, it suggests that children shouldn't have TV in their bedrooms. It also suggests that a home computer may help a child's test scores. The best way was having both: no TV in the bedroom and also a home computer to use./

单选题Bruce was cutting a branch of a tree in his garden. While he was sawing, another man passed in the street. He stopped and said, "Excuse me, but if you continue to saw that branch like that, you will fall down with it." He said this because Bruce was sitting on the branch and cutting it at a place between himself and the trunk of the tree. Bruce said nothing. He thought, "This is some foolish person who has no work to do and goes about telling other people what to do and what not to do." The man continued on his way. Of course, after a few minutes, the branch fell and Bruce fell with it. "My God!" he cried. "That man knows the future!" and he ran after him to ask how long he was going to live. But the man had gone.

单选题If you"re invited to a friend"s home for dinner, keep in mind these roles to be polite. First of all, arrive on time (but not earlier). It"s OK to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes. When you"re invited to someone"s home for a meal, it"s polite to bring a small gift. Flowers or candy are always nice. If you have something made in your own country, your host (主人) would certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift most. What do you do if you"re served a food that you don"t like or cannot eat? If your host doesn"t say anything about what you aren"t eating, then you shouldn"t, either. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one sees what you left. If you are questioned, you may have to admit (承认) that you don"t eat meat (or whatever), but you can also say that you"ve enjoyed the other foods and have had "more than enough" to eat. Don"t leave immediately (立即) after dinner, and don"t stay too long, either. When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of conversations, you"d better leave. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.

单选题In Europe many people died during the Second World War. As a result, at the end of the war there were many orphans there. A man called Herrnann Gmeiner wanted to help these children. He wanted them to have the care and kindness of parents. So he built the first SOS Children's Village in Austria in 1949. This is how the SOS Children's Villages started. The letters SOS stand for "Save Our Souls". This means "Please help us!". Gmeiner's idea soon spread all over the world. By 1983 there were 170 SOS Children's Villages in the world. In SOS villages children live in family groups. A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. She cooks for them and makes a comfortable, happy home for them. Of course, the children don't spend all their time in the village. They go to school, they go out with their friends and they go into town. But the village gives them a home.

单选题Christmas is coming. It is celebrated(庆祝) every year on December 25 and it is the most celebrated holiday in the world. It is celebrated in Europe, North America, South America and in every country that has been touched by western culture. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Today, most people who celebrate Christmas are not Christians(基督徒). They celebrate the holiday because Christmas is an opportunity for people to show the "good feelings" they have for each other. Christmas is called "the season of giving". It is the time of year when people give gifts to others to show how much they love them or just to show how much they appreciate(感激) them. We give gifts to our family and we also give gifts to close friends. Many people also give gifts to people who have performed services for them through the year, like the postman or the cleaner. And Christmas is the time of year we remember that many people are less fortunate than us: the poor, the sick and the lonely; and we try to help them in any way we can.
