Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off the TV and spending more time with the family are still worried that without TV they would be too often on call as entertainers（娛樂者） for their children．They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were children．But their own children seem different, less good at finding things to pass the time, somehow．When there’s nothing to do, these parents notice regretfully that their children seem unable to come up with anything to do besides turning on the TV．?
One father, for example, says, “When I was young, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and games．We certainly never complained in an angry way to our parents, ‘I have nothing to do”．He compares this with his own children today: “They are simply lazy．If someone doesn’t play with them, they’ll happily sit there watching TV all day．”
There is one word for this father’s disappointment: unfair．It is as if he were disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language．He feels his children’s lack of inventiveness a great pity, as if the ability to play were something born that his children are missing．In fact, the tendency（傾向） to play is built into the human species, but the actual ability to play—to imagine, to invent in a playful way, and the ability to gain satisfaction after successful effort from it—these are skills that have to be learned and developed．
Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive（毀滅性的）．Sensing their parents’ disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect．Giving children the chance to develop new things to enjoy themselves, to enrich their knowledge and experience and discover the pleasure of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children develop a confident（自信）feeling about themselves as able and interesting people．
【小題1】Many people think that, instead of watching a lot of TV, their children should_______．
| A．think up things to enjoy themselves | B．find chances to talk with parents |
| C．enjoy themselves outdoors | D．sit silently studying Greek |
| A．they do not lack the ability to play |
| B．they have not been given the opportunities to learn and develop their ability |
| C．the children are too young to do that |
| D．the children are not really lazy, but there’s nothing for them to do |
paren
ts show continuous disappointment in their children, the children will________．| A．be more disappointed |
| B．refuse to learn new things |
| C．discover the pleasures of doing things on their own |
D．lose their conf idence and respectability |
| A．Parents should give children more help on how to be inventive． |
| B．Turning off the TV will help us solve a lot of family problems． |
| C．It’s not right for parents and children to blame（抱怨） each other． |
| D．Today’s children are becoming less able and independent than before． |

How to Get What I Want?
There’s an expression: “What you see is what you get.” My grandfather used to say: “If you looked at a tree long enough, it will move.” We see what we want to see. Psychologists tell us that nothing controls our lives more than our self-image. We live like the person we see in the mirror. We are what we think we are. If you don’t think you’ll be successful, you won’t. You can’t be it if you can’t see it. Your life is limited to your vision. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger: “Now that you’ve retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next?” Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently: “I’m going to be the No. 1 movie star in Hollywood.” The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger’s plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood’s No. 1 movie star!
So when the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said: “I’ll do it the same way I became the No. 1 bodybuilder in the world. What I do was create a vision of who I want to be, and then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true.” Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn’t it? But I worked! Schwarzenegger became the No. 1 highest paid movie star in Hollywood. Remember: “If you can see it, you can be it.”
There’s a successful businessman who often wears a shirt with these words on it: “Don’t just pursue your dreams. Chase down and tackle! ” you only get one life to live, so why not live the best life possible? So you can be fully satisfied at what you see and get.
1.What did Arnold Schwarzenegger do before he became a Hollywood star?
A. He worked for a newspaper.
B. He was a man working on bodybuilding.
C. He worked in a small film company.
D. He was a businessman.
2.Why was it hard for the reporter to believe that Schwarzenegger would become a star one day?
A. Because he was not famous.
B. Because he was not professional and spoke poor English.
C. Because he was good at nothing except bodybuilding.
D. Because he only spoke English fluently.
3.What did Schwarzenegger plan to do to make his Hollywood star dream come true?
A. He continued to build his body.
B. He went to make more movies.
C. He lived a life like a movie star.
D. He tried his best to meet the movie directors.
4.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Have a dream and make it come true.
B. Stop your dream and find realistic things to do.
C. You can just daydream alone.
D. There’s nothing to do in the world but dream.

The city can seem a cold, mean place. In the middle of so many people hurrying about their own business, a person can feel alone among the millions of others.
There is a popular view that in cities, strangers are less likely to help an elderly person cross a street or call the police when they see a bike being stolen. Recently, a New Yorker named Casey Neistat did an experiment. He chained up his bike in several public places, then "stole" it in a number of obvious ways, such as using a hacksaw (鋼鋸). He filmed everything to see whether other New Yorkers would try to stop a shameless bike theft. The result? People just walked on by.
Is this evidence of an immoral, selfish urban society? Not necessarily. According to another recent study, the way city people mind their own business is about other factors besides morality (道德).
This is called the Bystander Effect, the theory that city people do not react because of the urban enviromnent they live in.
Psychologist Dr. Harold explained why people did not involve themselves in Neistat's bike theft experiment with the Bystander Effect.
First, people who live in cities are surrounded by so much activity that they stop noticing what is going on around them. Second, they are less easy to surprise and assume every activity has a logical explanation.
"The third is that people notice it, but they don't know what to do," he continued. "And the fourth is fear — they know they should do something, but they're afraid to challenge someone with a hacksaw."
A lack of concern is only a small reason why people don't take action, concludes Dr. Harold.
Despite the results of Neistat's experiment, there is also evidence of a sense of team spirit that connects people in cities. All it takes is a funny joke or a shared interest to start a conversation with someone at a bus stop. When city folk are in trouble, they come together for support — famously in New York on September 11, 2001.
City society is different, but that doesn't mean it's cold or mean — it just means it's busy!
1.Casey Neistat fihned everything in the experiment with the purpose of .
A. proving that he was not the thief
B. telling people that bike theft was immoral
C. finding out who had a sense of right and wrong
D. making his experiment well-known to the public
2.We can infer from the third paragraph that morality .
A. can partly explain a selfish urban society
B. is what our society should pay special attention to
C. is the only factor that leads to a selfish urban society
D. is the root of the Bystander Effect mentioned in the passage
3.The underlined part September 11, 2001 in Paragraph 9 serves as .
A. a reminder of the sad memories
B. a way to prove Dr Harold's Bystander effect
C. evidence that city life can be really dangerous
D. an example to show team spirit connecting city people
4.As can be inferred from the passage, the writer probably .
A. criticizes the loss of morality in urban society
B. feels sad about the result of Neistat's experiment
C. thinks city people are too busy to care about others
D. disagrees that city life sometimes can be cold and mean
