26、quickly.“I am a great man. I am the smartest man and the world cannot do without me.“ With that he too jumped out.The other two passengers, an old man and a young soldier, were quiet for a moment.

30、rest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen. Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to mak
31、e their opinion count. Unfortunately, televisions influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world, that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence
32、they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations” are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictu
33、res; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesnt do funny things like the people on childrens programs. And they expect all problems to be solved 5happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. Thats the time it takes on the screen. 64. In the past, many young people_. A. k

The adults are less violent than the young. 67. From the passage, we can conclude that_. A. children should keep away from
36、 TV B. TV programs should be improved C. childrens books should have pictures D. TV has a deep influence on the young DNuclear powers danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be d
37、etected（觉察） by human senses. It cant be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even tough it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cant detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we cant sense radioactivity without
38、a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being entirely by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious d
39、amage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed entirely, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few
40、 cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed(畸形) way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be d
41、one without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to have serious illness as result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We
42、must know the truth.68. The word “significant” in paragraph 3 has the similar meaning with_.A. deadly B. meaningful C. obvious D. harmful69.

43、cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately.D. all of the above70. Whats the authors main purpose in writing this passage?A. Emphasizing the importance of protection of radiation.B. Solving the mystery about radiation.C. Discussing the cause of cancer.D. Introducing the nuclear power.6EEve
44、n a child knows that nodding(点头) the head means “Yes”. But some people will probably be puzzled when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, he often shakes his head. They might think that the Indian does not like what he said, but on the contrary he is expressing agreement.The Indian
45、s have a habit of shaking their heads slightly when they talk to somebody. It doesnt mean “No”, but “Yes”.If a person doesnt know this, it might cause misunderstanding.At one time a foreigner in India told his driver who was an Indian to take him to his office. The driver shook his head. The foreign
