We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb 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 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 related to reading ability. TV doesn’t 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 child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability 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 it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people oflower 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 as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.28．By watching TV, children learn ________.A．images through wordsB．more than explicit meaningsC．more about images than wordsD．little about people’s psychology29．An educational program is best watched by a child ________.A．on his own B．with other kidsC．with his parents D．with his teachers30．Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability? ________A．Radio-listeningB．Television-watchingC．Parents’ reading listD．Parents’ educational background31．What is the main purpose of the passage? ________A．To advise on the educational use of TV.B．To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.C．To explain traditional views on TV influences.D．To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.DGroup exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain（保持）a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins（内啡肽）, and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision（监管）of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.32．The first paragraph focuses on ________.A．the greatest challenge of group exerciseB．the most effective way to improve physical fitnessC．the contribution of group exercise to psychological healthD．the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups33．The underlined word “upbeat” in the second paragraph probably means“________”.A．cheerful B．average C．serious D．temporary34．When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks it necessary _______.A．to sustain a colorful lifestyleB．to party on weekends with positive peopleC．to try a fun healthy restaurant regularlyD．to surround yourself with supportive people35．What would be the best title for the passage? ________A．Seeking Support B．Supporting HealthC．Improving Your Strength D．Building Up Fitness第二节（共5小题;每小题2分,共10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Nowadays, there is a trend that more and more people spend their holidays In foreigncountries.36So read our travel tips that are simple and practical, and you can alwaysenjoy your travels.On a business card, write down the emergency contact information and place it inyour wallet.37Give your emergency contact a copy of your travel plan, a passportdata page, and the visa information.
