　　(2024·临沂3月质量检测)

　　It can be hard to encourage families of preschoolers to turn off the TV，but there are plenty of high-quality shows that promote learning and positive relationships rather than violence，researchers noted.

　　“Although clearly kids watch too much，what’s more worrying is that they watch poor quality shows，” said Dr Christakis，the lead researcher on the new study from the University of Washington in Seattle.His former survey of parents of three-to five-year-old children showed the kids often watched violent cartoons and movies that are “totally inappropriate”．

　　For their study，he and his colleagues randomly divide 565 preschoolers into two groups.In one group，parents recorded notes about kids’ normal TV viewing，without receiving any guidelines to reduce or change those habits.In the other group，researchers made visits and calls and sent monthly newsletters encouraging parents to replace violent TV with educational programming.After six and 12 months，parents reported their kid’s angry，aggressive or anxious behaviors on a questionnaire.At both time points，children in the TV intervention (干预) program had slightly fewer problems than those in the comparison group.Boys in low-income families seemed to benefit most from the change in programming，the researchers found.

　　“The point is，this is something that is as effective as other things we do to try to guide behavior in children，and it’s fairly simple，” Christakis said.

　　Another study published in Pediatrics found the more TV kids and teens watched，the more likely they were to have a crime or other problems in society.Children may imitate violence they see—or more time in front of the TV could simply mean less communication with peers and families，and worse performance in school.

　　The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends kids watch no more than one to two hours of high-quality programming each day.Researchers agreed parents should be mindful of what exactly their young kids are watching on TV as well.“It’s

　　not just about turning the TV off，it’s about changing the channel，” Christakis said.

　　1．What is the positive effect of high-quality TV shows on kids?

　　A．Good learning results and relationships.

　　B．Being affected by violence.

　　C．Spending less time on TV programming.

　　D．Encouraging them to turn on the TV.

　　2．For Christakis，what is more concerning?

　　A．Kids watching too much TV.

　　B．TV shows being of poor quality.

　　C．Kids watching too many cartoons.

　　D．Parents receiving no guidelines.

　　3．We can learn from the survey mentioned in Para.3 that________.

　　A．Children don’t like being disturbed while watching TV

　　B．Preschoolers seems to like newsletters more than TV

　　C．Poor children prefer to watch educational programming

　　D．Kids watching high-quality programs have fewer problems

　　4. Christakis thought the effect of educational programming on children’s behaviour was________.

　　A．unclear

　　B．slight

　　C．obvious D．great

　　5．According to the researchers，________.

　　A．getting preschoolers away from TV is difficult

　　B．shows on TV in America are full of violence

　　C．parents should communicate more with their kids

　　D．parents should keep an eye on what kids watch on TV

　　(2024·江西省南昌两校高三上学期第四次联考)

　　[1]Growing up on a remote Michigan farm，Henry Ford

　　knew little of all this—but he soon showed signs that he belonged to a new generation of Americans who were interested

　　more in the industrial future than in the agricultural past.Like most pioneer farmers，his father，William，hoped that his eldest son would join him on the farm.But Henry______________.He

　　hated farm work and tried his best to avoid it.It was not that he was lazy.Far from it.Give him a mechanical job to do，from mending the gate to sharpening tools，and he would set to work eagerly.

　　[2]Henry was excited by the possibilities that one day the development in technology could free farmers like his father from wasteful and boring toil.When he was twelve he became fascinated with clocks and watches.Soon he was able to repair clocks and watches for friends.

　　[3]In 1876，Henry suffered a huge hit.His mother Mary died in childbirth.There was now no reason for him to stay on the farm，and he decided to get away as soon as he could.Three years later，he took a job as a mechanic in Detroit.By this time steam engines had joined clocks and watches as objects of Henry’s fascination.

　　[4]According to an account given by Henry himself，he first saw a steam-driven road locomotive (火车头) one day in 1877 when he and his father，in their farm wagon (马车)，met one on the road.The locomotive driver stopped to let the wagon pass，and Henry jumped down and went to him with a lot of technical questions about the engine’s performance.From then on，for a while，Henry became fascinated with steam engines.Making and installing them was the business of the Detroit workshop that he joined at the age of sixteen.
