In one of the old buildings near our school,one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floor.His name was James.During the three years at school, I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.
He was a high-ranking government official and lived happily with his wife.Once there was a bus accident,in which a number of passengers were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment.James was responsible for the rescue operation.It was a big hospital,but James was shocked to notice how ill-equipped it was.There were no enough life-saving drugs and life—supporting equipment. The injured and their companions had to struggle there.James attempted to help.However,though he emptied his pockets,many of them died that day.
That was a turning point in his life.He made a decision to devote his life to helping others,particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions.He began spending much of his income on these people.Since this required a lot of time and energy,he found it difficult to fulfill(履行) his official duties and therefore chose to retire,which,in turn,reduced his income considerably.

Nowadays, parents worry a lot because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen. Because this doesn’t happen to only one specific family, many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.
Children who become addicted(上瘾的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home. Although they have lots of homework, they become absorbed in TV programs.
Since they spend tons of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.
There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.
What should be done? First of all, the government should regulate TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system(分级制度) and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.
It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently in real life. It’s time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and it’s time to keep our children from watching violence.
【1】What experts really worry is that .
A. children spend too much time watching TV
B. TV violence has a bad influence on children
C. children become addicted to TV programs
D. children have less time to do their homework
【2】The author explain how the government should control TV violence by .
A. giving a definition B. giving an example
C. making a comparison D. presenting research findings
【3】What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. explain. B. avoid.
C. ignore. D. copy.
【4】What is the author’s purpose for writing this text?
A. To express his own worries about TV violence.
B. To ask parents to take good care of their children.
C. To inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.
D. To call on the whole society to save children from violence.

Let’s face it. No one drinks diet sodas for the taste. People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn’t drink diet sodas. "What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more weight they were likely to gain," said Sharon Fowler.
The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.
While the findings are surprising, they also offer some explanations.
Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas, they don’t lose weight at all. "We weren’t seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us," said Rogers.
So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet, but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas, and so over-compensate(补偿) for the missing calories.
A related study found some sweeteners (甜味剂) raised blood sugar levels in some mice. "Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky," said Helen P. Hazuda, professor at the University of Texas’s school of medicine. "They may be free of calories, but not of consequences."
【1】People drink diet sodas to ____________.
A. enjoy its taste B. achieve weight loss
C. stay in fashion D. gain more energy
【2】The new study suggests that drinking diet sodas ____________.
A. causes people to become heavier
B. helps people to be healthier
C. makes people much thinner
D. offers people more calories
【3】We can learn from the passage that ____________.
A. regular sodas make people lose more weight
B. diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food
C. diet sodas do help reduce calories
D. most blood diseases come from diet sodas
【4】The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to “_________”.
A. sweeteners B. diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers
C. sodas D. diet sodas and artificial sweeteners
