One hot night last July,when our new bab...

One hot night last July,when our new baby wouldn't or couldn't sleep,I tried everything I could think of: a warm bottle,songs,gentle rocking.Nothing would settle him.Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me,I brought a portable TV into his room,figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill the hours till dawn. To my surprise,as soon as the TV lit up,the baby quieted right down,his little eyes focused brightly on the tube.Not to waste an opportunity for sleep,I then tiptoes(踮着脚走)out of the room,leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi's forty-fifth birthday.

My wife and I heard none of the baby that night,and the next morning when I went into his room,I found that he was still watching TV himself.

I found in my baby's behavior a symbol of the new generation.My wife and I had given him some books to examine,but he merely spit upon them.When we read to him,he did not feel comfortable.And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don't read and that they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it.All that they want to do is to watch TV.After this experience with the baby,however,I have come to a conclusion:"Let them watch it!"If television is that much more attractive to children than books,why should we fight about it?Let them watch it all that they want!

1.Why did the author bring a TV set into his son's room?

A. To make his son keep quiet.

B. In order not to let his son feel lonely.

C. To spend the night by watching TV programs.

D. To make his son go to sleep as soon as possible.

2.From the text we can learn that the school children       .

A. prefer reading to watching TV

B. like watching TV after school

C. would rather watch TV than read books

D. like their teachers who teach them reading

3.What does the underlined phrase "fight about" in the last paragraph mean according to the text?

A. Talk about.    B. Think about.

C. Care about.    D. Quarrel about.

 

1.C 2.C 3.D 【解析】 我们总是习惯让小孩子们读书,阅读,但是他们有时候不喜欢这么干,他们爱看电视!如果看电视比读书更有益处、更吸引人,我们为什么阻止孩子们呢?让他们看! 1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill of the hours till dawn. 描述,可知选C。 2.C 推理判断题。根据第二段We find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. 及下文描述,可知在校学生们宁愿看电视也不愿意读书。故选C 3.D 词义猜测题。根据最后一段最后三句Let them watch it!"If television is that much more attractive to children than books,why should we fight about it?Let them watch it all that they want!如果看电视比看书更吸引孩子们,那就让他们看,让他们做他们想做的事,为什么和他们反对呢?可知划线内容和D项,Quarrel about.(关于---争吵),意思吻合。故选D。

When people succeed,it is because of hard work,but luck has a lot to do with it.1.Napoleon once said all the hard work and talent in the world can't make up for bad luck.However,hard work can invite good luck.

When it comes to success,luck can mean being in the right place to meet someone.Nothing can replace hard work,but working hard also means you're preparing yourself for opportunity.2.

How many of the great inventions and discoveries came about through a lucky mistake or a lucky chance?One of the biggest lucky mistakes in history is Columbus' so-called discovery of America.He changed history,but he was really looking for India.3.It was backed up by years of studying and calculating.

Success comes from pure luck and no hard work can be a real problem.4.Imagine she's been picked from nowhere because of her looks.She is going to feel insecure,because she knows she didn't do anything to earn her stardom(演员身份).On the other hand,think about an actress who's spent years learning and working.When she finally has good luck and becomes a success,she will handle stardom better.She knows she earns it.

5.When it comes to success,I think that hard work and luck go hand in hand.

A.Opportunity often depends on luck.

B.Luck is also important in people's life.

C.Success without some luck is almost impossible.

D.Hard work plays a very important part in success.

E.However,Columbus’ chance discovery wasn't pure luck.
