For some people, it‘s easy to get dressed for work. Pilots and police officers, for example, don‘t have to make decisions about their work clothes. They wear uniforms to work every day.

Television has now come to nearly every family. It has become a very important part in people‘s life. School children in some cities watch TV about twenty hours a week.

Some people believe that television is good for children because it helps them learn about their country and the world. With the help of programmes of education, children do better in school.

Other people feel that there are too many programmes about love and crime on TV, and that even programmes of education don‘t help children a lot. Children simply watch too much television, so they don‘t

do a lot of other important things for their education.

Children of three to six learn to speak their own language and talk with people. When they are watching TV, they are only listening to the language, and they aren‘t talking with anyone. When school children watch TV, they read less. Because of this they don‘t learn to read or write quickly at school. All children learn by doing, and they need time to play in order to learn about the world. When they watch TV, they play less. They also have less time to do with their parents and friends, and they have less time to have sports.

Recently, a hundred and fifteen families in a middle school decided to stop watching for a month or more. At first it was difficult, but there were soon a lot of good changes. The children read, played, and exercised more and the family became full of joy. But at the end of the month all the families began to watch TV as much as before. Not one family was able to give up television completely.

76. Why does television become a very important part for school children in some cities? 77. According to this article, what good things do television programmes help children to learn about? 78. Give the two reasons against children‘s watching TV in Paragraph 3.

79. It is true that all children learn by doing. What do children need to do for their healthy personal growth? 80. What is the best title for this passage（短文）?

B) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

Have you ever had problems in your life and don‘t know how to be happy? If so, you will find ‗Being a

Happy Teenager‘ written by an Australian w 81 Andrew Matthews useful.

In this book, he says that we s 82 stop being angry and forgive. The book tells us of u 83 skills such as how to put what you have learned into your mind to make your memory better. Many teenagers think that happiness c 84 from good exam marks o 85 praise from other people. But you can still be happy w 86 there are no such ‗good‘ things.

S 87 comes from a good attitude（心态）. If you learn from problems, you will be successful later on, or in the f 88 . Some school boys have problems such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us that happiness can come from thinking about things in a positive（积极的）w 89 .

If you are tall, people notice you and you can get a better view at the movies; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthews‘s m 90 important lesson of all: you choose to be happy!
