5.We are always tld that TV is nt gd fr us. If it is true, hw cme the TV-addicted kids f ur yung generatin nwadays are much smarter than we are? In my family, the nly persns wh can wrk the TV remte cntrl well are the children.
Prbably TV really educates us. Fr example, we can learn a very useful medical fact: A man that has been sht always has time t speak a brken sentence when he is dying. “The killer was…” (dies)
But I suppse the biggest things that we learn frm TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things simply happen n either strmy r dark nights. Emtinal breakdwns make peple wander in the heavy rain withut raincats r umbrellas. And cntrary t the scientists, the crack f lightning and the accmpanying flash cme n at exactly the same time, wherever the scenes are.
I’ve even gt t knw useful gegraphical facts frm science-fictin shws: Aliens nly speak the language f English n matter which planet they cme frm.
T make gd use f smething that we learn frm TV can make ur security better. Cnsider these truths. When yu are really attacked by 20 bad guys, yu needn’t wrry abut yur being utnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns t apprach yu in nes and tws just s yu can cnveniently defeat them all. Bad guys wh are cmpletely cvered in black clthes always remve their black masks t reveal that they are in fact, aha, wmen.
TV ften teaches us a lt f imprtant infrmatin as well abut escaping frm danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyne is running after yu dwn a passage, yu will find that bxes have been cnveniently placed near all the walls yu need t jump ver. (2) If yu are tall and handsme, yu can run frm any number f armed criminals, and every sht will miss yu.
Be warned, hwever, if yur name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and yu are part f a grup f plain-lking peple trying t catch a handsme individual, a single sht will kill yu. But dn’t be anxius: TV als delivers useful infrmatin fr bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shck absrbers that enable them t fly int the air and land withut damage — except plice cars.
TV even teaches us abut TV. Whenever anyne turns n a TV, it shws a news flash abut smene they knw. They then turn the bx ff immediately after that news item.
71. When the writer says “A man that has been sht always has time t speak a brken sentence when he is dying” (Paragraph 2), he shws his________.
A. humr B. sympathy C. deep cncern D. medical knwledge
72. We can learn frm Paragraph 3 that in the real wrld________.
A. bad things cause peple t break dwn in the rain
B. bad things never happen n dark and strmy nights
C. peple with emtinal prblems like t walk in the rain withut umbrellas
D. yu can’t hear the crack f lightning and see the accmpanying flash exactly at the same time
73. On TV what usually happens when a persn turns it n?
A. The prgram shwn is always abut the imprtance f TV.

6.Fr as early as I culd remember, my mther had been a bright, cheerful wman deeply interested and invlved in the wrld arund her. Hwever, in the last fifteen years f her life, she had t live with senile dementia (老年痴呆). I wuld g t my hme t pay her a visit in Califrnia and she wuld curiusly lk at me and then ask, “Wh are yu?” I wuld answer, “I’m yur wn sn, f curse.” “Where d yu live?” She wuld ask. “In Virginia”, I wuld tell her. “Isn’t that interesting,” she wuld say, “I have a sn in Virginia.”
Mther seemed nly frgetful as well as cnfused at the beginning f that disease, but smetime later she wuld g thrugh different time f intense anxiety. She wuld keep walk ing thrugh the huse she used t live in mst f her life crying uneasily that she wuld like t g hme. Or smetimes she left hme and wandered away if she were unattended fr a shrt time.
Hping t make her happy and put her mind at ease I wuld take her in my car, visiting sites where she used t live when she was a child. In the yard f the hillside huse in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view f the ld aks and lng green lawn(草坪). I pictured my mther there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been s fnd f. I lked t her fr sme respnse. She shk her head and said, “I want t g hme.”
Over the years I have decided that what my mther was calling hme was nt a place, but a time. I think it was a time when she was much yunger, when her children were still underft, when her husband was still energetic and attentive.
Watching my mther’s suffering set me wndering where I wuld have in mind if smeday I culdn’t find hme and wanted t g there. In this family we tend t be lng-lived and we grw fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years g by. At eighty I have already nticed sme alarming symptms. My dctr says the frgetfulness is nly natural and that it cmes with age. Still the fear f senile dementia is haunting there. Smeday if and when I becme even mre cludy minded than I am nw, unable t drive and unable t tell yu where "hme" is, my dear sn, I expect I will ask yu t take me hme, I knw yu will d yur best t find the place I need t be. I leave these ntes fr yur guidance.
