His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I dont understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”The grandpa quietlyturned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “Youll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I dont want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. Youre just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped （浸）the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, its useless!”“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at thebasket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different.

We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesnt really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping（塑造） childrens minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a childs 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（明确的） 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 doesnt 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 childs reading. “A childs 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 its the other way around. “If youre smart young, youll watch less TV when youre older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower 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（受谴责） without considering other influences.28. By watching TV, children learn _.A. images through words B. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than words D. little about peoples psychology29. Which of the following is most related to childrens reading ability?A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents reading listD. Parents educational background30. Anderson believed that _.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TVs harmful effects on children. C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Andersons unconventional ideas. DPeople always think men are more skilled than women in driving. Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men. In a survey done for insurer MetLife, 51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving. “Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents.” the report says. However, not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them up on one point: automotive （汽车的）knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover（翻车） accidents. Auto safety unavoidably matters to money. Insurance panies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general, women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest advantage in Wyoming (where they pay 20% less), South Dakota and Washington, D. C., where their insurance costs are 16% lower. “More than 11,900 male drivers died in U.S. traffic accidents in xx, pared with just under 4,900 women drivers,” according to the study. “Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, v.s. 1.7 deaths for women.”32. According to the study, male drivers _. A. are less aggressive while driving B. are more skilled at auto knowledge C. are more likely to stick to driving laws D. are less familiar with safety equipment33. Insurance panies focus on female driver clients(客户) probably because they _. A. cause more accidents on the road but ask for little B. cause little damage and pay more money to the insurance panies C. make up the most part of the insurance clients D. are more careful drivers and cause less damage34. We can infer from the passage that _. A. men are 3.1 times more likely to get tickets than women B. all women in the USA pay the same for their auto insurance C. more female drivers die every year than male drivers D. women are generally safer drivers than the opposite sex35. The writer mainly develops paragraphs by _. A. giving examples B. making parisons C. drawing a conclusion D. presenting an argument第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 Things You Should Stop Doing to Be SuccessfulAre you a happy person?
