9、e of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesnt really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping childrens minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a childs ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb
10、words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas.
11、 Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not
12、 related to reading ability. TV doesnt take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents educational background have a stronger influence on a childs reading. “A childs reading abilit
13、y is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that its the other way around. “
14、If youre smart young, youll watch less TV when youre older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects
15、 as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.21.By watching TV, children learn _.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about peoples psychology22.An educational program

While todays smartphones enable us to surf the Internet, take pictures and
19、play music, their limited, sometimes annoyingly short battery life has started to make people full of memories of early models. “My favorite phone of all time was a silver Nokia 6310i from the early 2000s.

20、te Daily Mail columnist David Derbyshire.But scientists spend no time thinking about the past. They have built an aluminium (铝) battery which could be a cheap, fast-charging alternative to current designs.You can squeeze, and practically bend it in half without breaking the packet.

The battery is the work of a team led by Dai. And the best part is that it has a recharge time of ar
22、ound one minute.However, at present, the only problem is that it produces just half the voltage (电压) of a typical lithium battery. But Dai explained they were setting about changing the voltage and energy density(密度)”. “Our battery has everything else youd dream that a battery should have. I see thi

27、 the water Slowly, smoothly, Andre drew in the baitThe shark followed No one asked what kind of shark it was Everything about it, from its color to its shape, tells that it was a great white shark Andre lifted the bait aboard Placing himself between the two motors, he dropped his right hand into the

30、biting them to see if they are eatable Andre has worked with great white sharks for years My hand landed on its nose, and it sort of paused, so I kept it there, and when I did let go, the shark bit and bit as if it was searching for whatever it was that had attracted it Nearly every encounter (遭遇) w

32、which the shark mistakes a human for its normal food Back then, we thought that once a great white smelt blood, it would lead to death Now we know that nearly three-quarters of bite victims survive, perhaps because the shark recognizes that is has made a mistake and doesnt return for a second bite30
