It can be hard to encourage families of preschoolers to turn off the TV,but there are plenty of highquality shows that promote learning and positive relationships rather than violence,researchers noted.
“Although clearly kids watch too much,what’s more worrying is that they watch poor quality shows,” said Dr Christakis,the lead researcher on the new study from the University of Washington in Seattle.His former survey of parents of threeto fiveyearold children showed the kids often watched violent cartoons and movies that are “totally inappropriate”.
For their study,he and his colleagues randomly divide 565 preschoolers into two groups.In one group,parents recorded notes about kids’ normal TV viewing,without receiving any guidelines to reduce or change those habits.In the other group,researchers made visits and calls and sent monthly newsletters encouraging parents to replace violent TV with educational programming.After six and 12 months,parents reported their kid’s angry,aggressive or anxious behaviors on a questionnaire.At both time points,children in the TV intervention (干预) program had slightly fewer problems than those in the comparison group.Boys in lowincome families seemed to benefit most from the change in programming,the researchers found.
“The point is,this is something that is as effective as other things we do to try to guide behavior in children,and it’s fairly simple,” Christakis said.
Another study published in Pediatrics found the more TV kids and teens watched,the more likely they were to have a crime or other problems in society.Children may imitate violence they see—or more time in front of the TV could simply mean less communication with peers and families,and worse performance in school.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends kids watch no more than one to two hours of highquality programming each day.Researchers agreed parents should be mindful of what exactly their young kids are watching on TV as well.“It’s not just about turning the TV off,it’s about changing the channel,” Christakis said.
1.What is the positive effect of highquality TV shows on kids?
A.Good learning results and relationships.
B.Being affected by violence.
C.Spending less time on TV programming.
D.Encouraging them to turn on the TV.
2.For Christakis,what is more concerning?
A.Kids watching too much TV.
B.TV shows being of poor quality.

A.Children don’t like being disturbed while watching TV

C.Poor children prefer to watch educational programming
D.Kids watching highquality programs have fewer problems

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance. I have forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my home town when I was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it stays in my memory, for she taught me a lesson of forgiveness that I shall never forget.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the leaning roof of the old lady's house from a spot near her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the roof's edge and shot out into the yard. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone, however, slipped from my hand and headed straight for a small window on the old lady's back porch. At the sound of fractured glass, we knew we were in trouble. We ran as fast as possible.
I was too scared about getting caught to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence.
I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and after three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost. I put the letter through the letter slot in her door. My soul felt redeemed and I could have the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old lady's kind eyes. The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. She gave me a bag of cookies. I thanked her and felt an envelope in it. When I opened the envelope, inside it were the seven dollars and a short note reading, "I'm proud of you."
4. The underlined word “redeemed” is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. excited B. relieved C. disappointed D. delighted
5. What’s the best title for this passage?______________.
A. An old lady B. My first job
C. My childhood D.An unforgettable incident
【参考答案】
(A)本文作者从发生在自己身上的事情中深深地体会到恳切,知错能改的重要性。
1、C 事实细节题。第一段“Forty-three years seems…”和“when I was a twelve-year-old boy”两处数字相加即可。
2、B 事实细节题。依据第一段其次句内容可知。
3、A 推理推断题。依据其次段:当时才12岁的作者和他的一个伴侣玩扔石子,其目的只是为了看到石头从老太太的屋顶滚下来象导弹一样射到院子里,至于打破老太太的窗户当然不是有意的,所以选A。
4、B 词义猜想题。跟据本句的“…and I could have the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old lady's kind eyes”可知作者此时应当是感到心中的一块石头落了地。
5、D 主旨大意题。本文作者主要向我们叙述了小时候的一件小事对他的深远影响。

feel comfortable, and have him or her help you.10. ______
答案及解析
1. 此行无错。
2. got 改为get。通读全篇, 可知道本文基本时态应为一般现在时。
3. Remembering 改为 Remember。本句为祈使句, 表示建议, 主语省略。
4. they 改为 it。they 前为转折连词 but, 表明其后为一个句子, 这里应用 it 代表前面整个句子。如: Tom’s mother kept telling him that he should study harder, but it didn’t help。此处的代词 it, 代替“Tom’s mother kept telling him that he should study harder”这一句子的内容。
5. life 改为 lives。这是考查名词的数, life 是可数名词单数, 句子主语用的是they, 与其全都应用lives。
6. 删去 for。由于 change 作“改换”讲时为及物动词。如: Can you change me one yuan note?你能兑换一元零钱给我吗?而 change for作“转换车到……”解。如: Where should you change for Guilin? 你在什么地方转车到桂林去?
7. any 改为 some。any 一般用于疑问句、 否定句、 条件从句中, 而 some 一般用于确定句中。此处为祈使确定式, 故用 some。
8. clean 改为 cleaning。应与 cooking, doing, washing 全都, 作介词宾语。
9. friend 前加 a。friend 为一般可数名词单数, 其前应加不定冠词 a。
10. comfortable 后加 with。comfortable with 意为“与……拘束/快活”。例如:
She feels comfortable with those who speaks English。她和讲英语的人谈话觉得很拘束。
