One hot night last July, when our new baby wouldn't or couldn't sleep, I tried everything

I could think of: a warm bottle, songs, gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep. I then tip-toed out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi's forty-fifth birthday. My wife and I heard no more of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room I found him still watching TV himself.

I found in my baby' s behaviour a metaphor (暗喻) for the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don' t read , that they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion:let them watch it. If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight it? Let them watch it all they want!

The author brought a TV set into his son's room to _______.

A.make his son stop crying

B.spend the night watching TV

C.it to his son

D.make his son fall asleep as soon as possible

听力原文: Recently a group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to beat the world basketball time record. They are to play for 90 hours and add 6 hours to the record. Now could 18 boys play for almost 4 days without stopping? The boys decided that each person would play for two and a half hours and then rest for two hours. They had to be able to sleep near the basketball hall, and they needed hot food and drink, day and night. Finally they started at 6 o' clock one evening.

The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited to fall asleep at once. After sleeping for a short time, they had to play again. The nights were very long, when nobody was watching. The days were better, because plenty of people cheered the players' efforts. On the second night they fell asleep as soon as they stopped. Some of them had trouble with their hands and feet, but the only serious problem was a mental one. Each boy was thinking: What am I doing hero? How can I play any longer? After the third night the players knew they could finish the 90 hours. On the fourth night the play was very slow, but in the final hours it got better. For the last few minutes the players looked as fresh as when they started, they were tired, but very happy.

A.90 hours.

B.86 hours.

C.84 hours.

Sleeping Giant

Right now, an eruption' is brewing (酝酿) in Yellowstone National Park (黄石国家公园).Sometime during the next two hours, the park’s most famous geyser(间歇泉), Old Faithful, will begin gurgling(汩汩而流)boiling water and steam._____ (1)

Old Faithful is not only a spectacular sight; it's also a constant reminder that Yellow-stone sits on one of the largest volcanoes in the world.If you have never heard of Yellow-stone's volcano, you are not alone._____ (2) Yet it has erupted three times during the last 2 million years.And one of those eruptions spewed(喷泉 )enough volcanic ash and other debris to blanket half the United States.

Yellowstone’s volcano is sometimes called a “supervolcano”, or extremely large and explosive calderas(破火山口 )volcano._____ (3).This supervolcano formed over a hot spot, an extremely hot area in Earth's mantle(地幔).John Valley, a volcano professor,said that as the crust moves across a hot spot, the hot spot melts a section of the plate moving over it, forming "one volcano after another".

The Yellowstone hot spot melts thick continental (大陆的)crust, which may cause

catastrophic(灾难性的)eruptions.According to experts, the eruptions that created each of the three calderas in and around Yellowstone National Park were larger than any other volcanic eruption in recorded history.The most recent eruption, which happened 640,000years ago, produced at least 1,000 cubic kilometers of ash and debris and blanketed most of the western half of the United States._____(4)

(Geological evidence shows Yellowstone has blown its stack every 700,000 years or so.“If nalure were truly that regular and reliable, we would be due for another eruption soon,” said Valley.“However, these processes are subject to variability(可变性), so we don’t really know when the next eruption will happen.”

_____ (5) It is the volcanic energy that powers the geysers and hot springs, creates

the mountains and canyons(峡谷-), and generates the unique ecosystems that support Yellowstone's diverse wildlife.

A.Three calderas make up more than a third of Yellowstone National Park.

B.The first Yellowstone eruption, 2 million years ago, released more than double that amount of ash and debris.

C.The volcano is so inconspicuous(不显眼J)that few .people know it exists.

D.Then, an enormous fountain will shoot high into the air.

E.While the active geologist processes at Yellowstone do pose some risk to the public, they also make it a unique treasure.

F.Yellowstone National Park attracts the interest of geologists the world over.
