21、 a central part of many peoples lives. There are very few places in the world where one cannot find a television set. Some sporting events, such as the Olympic Games or the football World Cup, can attract audiences of many millions. But is television a good or bad influence on young people in the mo
22、dern world? Thomas Murray, president of the British Parents Against Television Society, believes that it has not improved young peoples lives. “Television damages family life,” he argues. “At mealtime, families no longer talk to each other. In the evenings, youngsters do not spend good quality time
23、with family members. Instead, they watch television.” Murray says that this lack of communication leads to social problems.Murray also believes that the content of television programmes provides young people with poor role models. “There is so much violence(暴力) on TVguns, kung fu fighting, and so on
24、. Young people think that all problems should be solved by aggression.”It is not just young peoples mental health that worries Murray. “Teenagers dont get enough exercise because they spend so many hours watching television. They also develop back problems from sitting down for so long, and eye stra
25、in from the effort of watching.”Murray would like to see changes to television habits. “Programmes should be educational. Their contents should be nonviolent and healthy. There should be no programmes after ten oclock in the evening. Parents should teach their children to enjoy their spare time by p
26、laying sports or games. And certainly, the television should be switched off during meal time.Susan Taylor is a television producer. She believes that television is a good influence on young people. “Television brings the outside world to youngsters. It even brought us pictures from the moon! And lo
27、ok what happens after the Olympic Games or the World Cup matches have been shown on TV. People start to take more exercise. Also, there are a lot of programmes about healthy eating and keeping fit.”However, Taylor agrees with Murrays point of view concerning parents. “Of course parents have a role t
28、o play in educating their kids. They should turn the TV off during mealtime and they should talk with their children as often as possible.”46. The article is mainly about _. A. that TV is a central part of many peoples livesB. that Murray would like to see changes to television habits C. whether TV
29、is a good or bad influence on young people in the modern worldD. that parents should turn the TV off during mealtime and talk with their children 47. Which of the following statements is True? A. Teenagers will get backache for sitting down for a long time. B. Murray only worries about young peoples
30、 mental health. C. TV programmes are nonviolent and educational. D. Teenagers dont like doing exercise at all.48. What leads to social problems in Murrays opinion? A. The lack of communication. B. Young people watching too much TV. C. So much violence on TV. D. Not enough exercise.49. The underlined
31、 words “eye strain” in paragraph 4 probably means _. A. eye sickness B. blindness C. eye tiredness D. far-sightedness50. We can infer from this passage that _. A. Murray is president of the British Parents Against Television Society B. Susan Taylor completely disagrees with Murray on TVC. there are
32、both good and bad programmes on TV D. Susan Taylor is a television producerC When I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going to “real” majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to en
33、sure a good career. So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major. I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing techniques. Coming out of this experience, I realize it
34、 is ok to be different from others and to study things like classics, art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities (人文学科). The worries most people have about a Humanities degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract, and one will not obtain any app
35、licable skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective (视角). How could one effectively be an unbiased (无偏见的) writer with only knowledge of the popular opinion of society? How could one speak persua
36、sively with closed minds? Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! With a broader perspective, we will be more free, more open-minded, and less limited in what we can become! STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathem
37、atics) graduates learn actual skills in their studies, while humanities majors learn “soft skills” like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing (综合) ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural awareness. Do those
38、soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you? Think of it. How often do you communicate with others? Produce ideas? Encounter people from other cultures? Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills? If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed.
39、 The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanists grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your sills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Chase after your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think.5
