11、h potato. Television is good before-breakfast entertainment. Television is good after-school entertainment. Television is good before-bed entertainment. Everybody watches it, so you have to watch it too in order to talk about it with friends. Otherwise you cannot say a word, which makes you look lik

12、e an idiot.But when I stopped watching television completely several months ago, I found that I had become a more reflective person, simply because I had more time to think. Television had stopped stuffing its ideas into my head. I was thinking of my childhood, and to my disappointment, I found that

13、 it could be summed up adequately in one sentence: “I watched a lot of TV.” And I wasted too much of my youth that I cannot have back. I will never be more imaginative than I was in my childhood.Now I can totally resist the temptation of TV no matter how marvelous the programs are, and Im entering i

14、nto a new stage of life. In the meantime, Id hope that all couch potatoes would turn off their TV.

18、B. spend time in a relaxed wayC. enter a new stageD. watch televisionPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an

19、 account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was dest

20、royed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who l

21、ived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people and often songs and

22、 dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call remembered history”. Some of it has now been written down. It is not s

23、o exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But if there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.11. Which of the following is NOT suggested in the passage?A

24、. Written history is more reliable.B. Written records play an important role in learning about history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps to answer many questions.D.

No written account is availableC. it proves to be timelyD. People are interested in it15. I

27、t is suggested that we could have learned more about our past if ancient people had _.A. kept a written record of every past eventB. burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happenings D. made more songs and dancesPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the

28、following passage.NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers are developing a pill whi

29、ch will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemi

30、cals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to

31、 pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with ver

32、y painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us avoid the mistakes of

33、the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but they can make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser ,a medical ethicist.16. The drug tested on people can _.A. help cure brain damageB. stop people remember
