The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed.

Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.

Of them, 62 percent had a television intheir bedrooms.Not surprisingly, those with a bedroom TV were more likely to watch it a lot, clocking four to five more hours in front of a television per week, the researchers said. The teens with a bedroom TV were classified (分类) as heavy TV watchers — at least five hours a day — compared to those without one.Girls with a bedroom TV got less exercise — 1.8 hours per week compared to 2.5 hours for girls without a TV. They also ate fewer vegetables, drank more sweetened drinks and ate meals with their family less often.Boys with a bedroom TV had a lower grade point average than boys without one, as well as ate less fruit and had fewer family meals.“It really clearly points out that there’s some merit to not allowing your child to have a TV in the bedroom, ”said Daheia Barr-Anderson, one of the researchers.“When you upgrade your TV in the living room and you have this TV that’s out of date but still usable, you should really resist (阻止) putting it in one of your children’s bedrooms — and resist the pressure from the child to have a TV in their bedrooms,” she said in a telephone interview.41. Which of the following is NOT the consequence of teens having a bedroom TV according tothe passage?A. Getting lower grades.B. Taking less exercise.C. Drinking less sweetened drinks.D. Eating less fruits and vegetables.42. The underlined word “merit” (in paragraph 7) is probably closest in meaning to “_______”.A. advantageB. chanceC. planD. disadvantage43. What is the advice given by Daheia Barr-Anderson?A. Parents should buy the latest television for the living room.B. Teens should ask their parents not to put TV sets in their bedrooms.C. Teens should refuse the smaller but usable television.D. Parents should remove TV sets from children’s bedroom.44. What can we learn from the passage?A. Much attention hadn’t been paid to the effects of bedroom TV for teens.B. If a young man watches TV for four to five hours a week, he is a heavy TV watcher.C. Among the questioned teens, nearly 200 are heavy TV watcher.D. Teens would like to have the most popular TV sets in their bedrooms.45. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Bedroom TV tied to unhealthy habits in teens.B. Less TV equals more exercise.C. A bedroom without TV can maximize students’ achievements.D. Bedroom TV predicts worse education experience.DThere was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席), the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe !a certain illness，his description of which turned to be OK.Then the professor asked about the cure (药剂) for the illness, and the student, too, answered just as right. "Good，” said the professor，” and how much will you give the patient?" "A full spoon"，answered the student. "Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.", said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer." A full spoon is too much，" he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, "Mr. Professor, I've made a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops. ""I'm sorry, sir. " Said the professor coldly, "But it's too late. Your patient has died.
