When you sit and watch TV hour after hour, do you ever think of what it may be doing to your health?More and more children are becoming overweight (超重) and nearsighted 36 they spend too much time in front of the TV. Also, they are growing less and less creative since watching TV doesn’t 37 any active thought.Last week, the TV-Turnoff Organization began its ninth TV-Turnoff 38 in the USA. The organization encourages people to play games, read books, lie under a tree, talk to family members and friends 39 watching TV.American school children spend, on 40 , 1000 hours a year watching TV. That’s too much, say the doctors 41 organized this year’s TV-Turnoff Week.Doctors say that the 42 children watch television, the more overweight they may become. And the food children eat while they watch television makes this weight 43 more serious.To keep mentally(精神上) and physically(身体上) healthy, children need to take exercise, talk with friends and family, read, and 44 the world around them.

My parents are musicians, so they both encouraged me to do so. It was their dream, I think, to raise a child who could one day become a world-class pianist. So they asked an expensive personal teacher to teach me, and I practiced every day, sometimes for five or six hours at a time. Despite(尽管) the long hours and frustration(懊恼), I did enjoy it, especially at first, and I was good. According to my parents and my teacher, I was really excellent, and I was on the road to becoming a professional musician, just like my mother and father.The trouble was that my heart wasn’t really in it. My real interest was something quite different – mathematics. Numbers were the things that really shone brightly in my mind. I told my parents I found more beauty in a mathematical equation (等式) than in a piano sonata. So when I went to college, I chose to study mathematics, not music. Then I got a job, working as an accountant(会计).Now I work with numbers every day. My parents couldn’t understand, and even now I guess they are still angry with me. They say I wasted a special gift (天赋). But I still believe what I did is right for me.26. It cost the writer’s parents a lot to____________.A. help him with his school lessonsB. raise their son to be an excellent pianistC. develop their son’s interest in mathsD. send their son to college27.

Now the writer’s parents feel very sorry for their son because they think ____________.A. his heart wasn’t really in musicB. they didn’t like the job of accountantC. he wasted a special giftD. he didn’t realize his mistake(B)Many stories about famous people are not based on facts. A story that is passed from mouth to mouth may be better in the end than it was in the beginning, but probably it will end up as a very different story. Each storyteller may change something.A man who tells a story does not always try to be accurate(准确的). He may not believe that facts are necessary in a story. He may want to make people laugh or make them cry; he may even want to make them think.A good story may live through many centuries, and millions of people may enjoy telling it or listening to it. It is not the accuracy of a story that makes it live. The value of a story does not come from its accuracy but from its human interest or the way it is told.An English writer wrote a new book, and his publisher(出版人) told him that a thousand copies had already been sold. That evening, the writer had a meal with his publisher and an American friend. They talked about the book, and the writer told the American that 10,000 copies had been sold. Later, the publisher asked the writer why he had not been more accurate. ―To an American,‖said the writer, ―a thousand is nothing. I multiplied the number by ten to give him a true idea of the success of the book.‖This writer was not famous for his accuracy but for his novels will probably live for a long time.30. It is thought that ______.A. a written story should be true to what was really told from mouth to mouthB. a story told from mouth to mouth is worse than it was in the beginningC. stories about people are sometimes easier to pass onD. a story is usually different from what it was like in the beginning31.
