Like almost anything else,television has its good and bad sides. One should surely thank its inventors for the joy and interest that it has brought into the lives of the old,the sick,and the lonely―all those who,without it,would have no pleasure and no window on the world.

1       No newspaper has ever reached so many people and shown so clearly what was happening right now in their own country and everywhere else. TV not only gives the news instantly,it also shows it in pictures more powerful than words. 2       Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle,a flood,a fire,a crime,disasters of every sort on the screen.

3       Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world. They want to imitate what they see. They do believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. By the time they are out of high school,most young people have watched about 15 ,000 hours of television,and have seen about 18,000 killings or other acts of violence. All educators and psychologists agree that the " television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.

4       Getting used to TV shows,where everything is quick and entertaining,they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures;to read a book that requires thinking;to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten,fifteen or thirty minutes. That's the time it takes on the screen.

5       It is certain that,along with its benefits,it has brought many serious problems. To these problems we must soon find a solution because,whether we like it or not,television is here to stay.

   A. Unfortunately,television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young.

   B. It can be said that TV has brought reality to the public.

   C. In truth,television has opened windows in everybody's life.

   D. Is television as harmful as they think it is?

   E. It is certain that television has deeply changed our lives and our society.

   F. According to the same experts,the young are also less patient.

   G. Many people now worry about the effect that TV has on the young,and on society in general.

On my way to work I would see this old man sitting beside the road and waved at everyone which passed by. I noticed that he had sat there every day even if it was raining or very hot outside.

One day while going to work I remembered that I had a umbrella at my house,but I turned around,got the umbrella,and took it him. He was so happy and for about another six month I saw him sitting beside the road and waving to people from under the umbrella.

I late found out that the man had died but I hope that the umbrella brings him more happiness while she was making everyone else's days were more pleasant.

Sharks have been around for hundreds of millions of years. 1       Some sharks live near the surface,some live deep in the water,and others on or near the ocean floor.

We tend to think of sharks as big dangerous creatures. We sometimes read about shark attacks in the newspapers,and in1975 the film Jaws terrified moviegoers with the story of a great white shark which attacked holiday makers in a small seaside town in the USA. 2       It can reach 6 metres in length and up to2,000 kilograms in weight. It has as many as3,000 needle sharp teeth,so it can sever (割斷) a man's leg in a single bite.

But not all sharks are like the great white. 3       There are almost400 species of sharks and more than half of these are under a metre in length. The biggest sharks of all are not at all dangerous to humans. The basking shark and the whale shark grow to around 12 metres,but they are quite harmless.

4       Among all these sharks,the bull shark is the one that is most likely to attack people. It swims in very shallow waters where people swim. 5       Indeed you are far more likely to be killed by a dog or by bees than by a shark,and some scientists believe that sharks only attack people because they mistake them for their favourite food.

   A. The pigmy shark,for example,is only about 20 centimetres in length.

   B. Less than one hundred people are attacked by sharks each year.

   C. A shark is a large fish considered to be dangerous to humans.

   D. Only about 25species are dangerous to people.

   E. The great white is certainly a fearsome creature.

   F. We can never imagine such things can happen.

   G. They live in oceans and seas all over the world.
