45、erts who concern childrenC We keep reading that TV is bad for you. If this is true, how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? In my home, the only people who can work the remote control are the children. Perhaps TV does educate you. For example, you learn a use
46、ful medical fact: A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies. “The killer was” (dies) But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights. Emotional breakdowns cause people t
47、o wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas. And contrary to what scientists say, the crack(霹雳) of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are. Ive even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens speak English no matter which pla
48、net they come from. Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security. Consider these truths. If you are ever attacked by 2 0 bad guys, dont worry about being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them
49、 all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women. TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes ha
50、ve been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you. Be warned, however. If your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying
51、to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But dont be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage except police cars. TV even teaches us abou
52、t TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.50.

56、 takes a(n) _ attitude towards TV plays. A. positive B. casual C. negative D. indifferent D I was puzzled! Why was this old woman making such a fuss about an old copse which was of no use to anybody? She had written letters to the local paper, even to a national, protesting about a projected by-pass
57、 to her village, and, looking at a map, the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasnt as if the area was attractive. I was more than puzzled, I was curious. The enquiry into the route of the new by-pass to the village was due to take place shortly, and I wanted to know what it was that mot
58、ivated her. So it was that I found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by Mary Smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods. “Ive always loved this place,” she said, “it has a lot of memories for me, and for others. We all used it. They called it Lovers lane. Its not much of a la
59、ne, and it doesnt go anywhere important, but thats why we all came here. To be away from people, to be by ourselves. ” she added. It was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard. Squirrels watched from the branches, quite bold in their movements, obviously few people passe
60、d this way and they had nothing to fear. I could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built, so I felt that she probably had something there but as I hold strong opinions about the needs of the community over-riding the opinions of private individua
61、ls, I said nothing. The village was quite a dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old womans strange ideas. “Take this tree,” she said pausing after a short while. “To you it is just that, a tree. Not unlike many
62、others here.” She gently touched the bark, “Look here, under this branch, what can you see?” “It looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife.” I said after a cursory inspection. “Yes, thats what it is!” she said softly. She went on, “He had a penknife with a spike for getting stones f
63、rom a horses hoof, and I helped him to carve them. We were very much in love, but he was going away, and could not tell me what he was involved in the army. I had guessed of course. It was the last evening we ever spent together, because he went away the next day, back to his Unit.” Mary Smith was q
64、uiet for a while, then she sobbed. “His mother showed me the telegram. Sergeant R Holmes Killed in action in the invasion of France.”“I had hoped that you and Robin would one day get married.” she said, “He was my only child, and I would have loved to be a Granny, they would have been such lovely ba
65、bies- she was like that! ”“Two years later she too was dead. Pneumonia (肺炎), following a chill on the chest was what the doctor said, but I think it was an old fashioned broken heart. A child would have helped both of us.” There was a further pause. Mary Smith gently caressed the wounded tree, just
66、as she would have caressed him. “And now they want to take our tree away from me.” Another quiet sob, then she turned to me. “I was young and pretty then, I could have had anybody, I wasnt always the old woman you see here now. I had everything I wanted in life, a lovely man, health and a future to
67、look forward to.” She paused again and looked around. The breeze gently moved through the leaves with a sighing sound. “There were others, of course, but no one can match my Robin!” she said strongly. “And now I have nothing - except the memories this tree holds. If only I could get my hands on that
68、 awful man who writes in the paper about the value of the road they are going to build where we are standing now, I would tell him. Has he never loved, has he never lived, does he not know anything about memories? We were not the only ones, you know, I still meet some who came here as Robin and I di

71、ory related with Mary Smith C. I thought there might be some reason for Mary Smiths protest D. I guessed there might be a secret purpose of Mary Smith.58.

In Marys opinion, which of the following might have caused Robins mothers death? A. Pneumonia B. A chill on the chest C. A heart attack D. Severe sorrow60. The “tree”

Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout the day.61. _ “You could
75、 spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.” Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when thi
76、ngs are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times are tough, Ive been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”62. _ Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found t
77、hat doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someones life a little bit easier. For example, Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us cant afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a friend a ride.”63. _
78、You dont need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness. Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kids needs can weigh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved ones. “I was at a psyc

But its also important to remember to be flexible in t
81、hese times. Dont get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt and change! “If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”65. _ When times are tough, its easy to
82、skip your regular workouts in favor of mopping in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good.” But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC (Tender Loving Care). It will go a long way in bo
