exactly as you do about television.
Wife: Oh yes? Read it to me.
Husband: “ Sir,
I’m very worried about the effects of television especially on our children. Firstly, there are a lot of violent programs. Secondly, the advertising is very bad for them.

I think it is very important for everybody to do something creative, such as playing a musical instrument or painting. When I say this to my children, they just do not answer. They are too busy watching TV.

Yours,

Passage 2
Acupuncture has been practiced in China for more than 2,000 years, but its use in the Western world is still very new. Several hospitals in the United States are now experimenting with acupuncture as a way of treating pain.
An American journalist who stood beside a patient during an operation in Shanghai recently described the process and its effects. To keep the patient from feeling pain during the operation, four needles were used, each about an inch and a half long. Two needles were inserted under the skin on each side of the patient’s neck. The top of the needles were attached to wires which led to a small electrical device.
Throughout the operation the patient talked calmly to those standing around him, insisting that he felt perfectly normal.
How does acupuncture work? How is it able to keep a patient from feeling pain? No very satisfactory answer has been given, but there are at least three theories.
Some doctors believe that acupuncture somehow produces an effect upon the central nervous system. Others believe that acupuncture produces a chemical change in the body’s fluids. Still another theory is that the needles make contact with an unknown system of energy in the body which travels along certain routes under the skin. The true explanation may be one of these or a combination of more than one. Or it may be something entirely different.
16. How long has acupuncture been practiced in China?
A. For 200 years. B. For about 200 years.
C. For over 2,000 years. D. For nearly 2,000 years.
17. What are doctors in the United States doing with acupuncture?
A. They are trying to use it as a new way to treat diseases.
B. They are trying to use it as an anesthesia（麻醉）in operation.
C. They are trying to use it to relieve pain.
D. They are trying to use it as a means to understand the human nervous system.
18. Why did the American journalist go to a Shanghai hospital?
A. To observe how acupuncture is used in an operation.
B. To talk to a patient who has an operation with acupuncture as anesthesia.
C. To learn how acupuncture can relieve pain.
D. To see what the acupuncture needles are like.
19. How much do Westerners understand the work of acupuncture?
A. They still find it entirely a mystery.
B. They are able to explain how and why it works in theory.
C. They are rather skeptical about it.
D. They haven’t found satisfactory answers as to how it works.
20. What can you infer from the passage?
A. Acupuncture is now practiced all over the world.
B. What makes acupuncture work can never be explained.
C. Western doctors are interested in traditional Chinese medical practices.
D. Acupuncture is used as widely as it was in ancient times.

Passage 3
Scientists have learned a great deal about the kinds of food people need. They say that
there are several kinds of food people should eat every day. What are these classes of food?
They are 1) green vegetables of all kinds, such as string beans, peas, lettuces, and cabbages;
2) fruits such as apples, peaches and bananas; 3) other vegetables, examples of these are
beets, onions, carrots, tomatoes and so on; 4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; 5) milk and
food made from milk, such as butter, cheese and ice cream; 6) bread or cereal. Rice is also in
this class of food.

food is eaten raw or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn't matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o'clock in the afternoon or at 11 o'clock at night. The important thing, they say, is that every
day a person should eat something from each of these kinds of food.
There are two problems, then, in feeding the ever-increasing number of people on earth.
