　It is widely accepted that television is playing an important part in people's lives. But, there is a heated discussion as to whether television does good or harm.
    Television keeps one learning more about present events, allows one to follow the most recent developments in politics and science, and offers various programs which are .both instructive and exciting. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one's room or house.
    However, some people insist that television is bad rather than good. They argue that it has brought about many serious problems. The major one is its effects on young people. Children are now so used to getting their information and entertainment from television that their ability to read and write as well as physical ability has been greatly weakened. Even worse than that, vulgar( 庸俗的) advertisements and poor programs may develop their bad tastes, shape their view points badly towards human life to such a degree that their minds might be destroyed.
    In a word, television has both advantages and disadvantages. Whatever effects it has, one point is certain, television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that decides its value to society.

（1）、What are people discussing nowadays?

（2）、What are the advantages television has brought us ?(至少2点)

（3）、Why do some people think television is bad rather than good?

（4）、It is the use to which it is put that decides its value to society

（5）、What's your opinion about television?

举一反三

We recycle(回收利用）rubbish, so why not language? Recycling language means using vocabulary that you have learnt before again and again. However, unlike rubbish that piles up(堆积)in our environment. if we do not recycle language, we simply forget it. So how do you recycle language?
There are basically three ways to do it. The first is through reading. Go back to your favourite articles and read them once more. Just reread them and do not worry about each vocabulary item. If there are some that you are not sure about, make a guess and you will probably guess right. The second way to recycle is through writing. Look at some of your favourite articles and write either a short paragraph or a few sentences in your own words. After you have done this a few times, go back and read through what you have written, checking vocabulary functions. Don't worry if you have made mistakes. That's how you learn. The third way to recycle language is by having an imaginary chat with yourself about your favourite articles at home. You can pretend there is someone with you who speaks English and tell him what you are thinking about or how you feel.

    Chinese are very generous (慷慨) when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. However what most parents fail to realize is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
    Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
    Cooking demands (要求)patience and time. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking. so he will learn to work hard and gradually(逐渐), finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self confidence.
    Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not merely   teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

More and more young people from China begin to celebrate（庆祝）Father's Day. They send fathers present, or invite them for a nice dinner. But do you know how Father's Day started?

While Mrs. Dodd, from America, was listening to a talk about Mother's Day in a church （教堂）in 1909, she had an ideas of having Father's Day to honor（纪念）her father, William Smart. Mr. Smart used to be a soldier(军人). His wife died when she gave birth to her sixth child. Mr. Smart had to raise his six children alone. They lived a hard life. After Mrs. Dodd grew up, she wanted to thank her father for what he had done for them. She wrote a letter to a church and asked for the third Sunday in June to be Father's Day. The church agreed with her.

The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19th, 1910 in Washington. Children made special desserts and did other things to make their fathers happy.

①You may not know it, but there are vampires (吸血鬼) in your house right now. Luckily, they do not drink the blood of living people. Instead, these vampires quietly drain the electricity right out of your home. They come in the form of common electrical devices (家用电器), such as TVs, washing machines, computers and cell phone chargers(充电器). They all turn into energy vampires when you stop using them.

②We all know it wastes energy to leave lights or air conditioners on when we leave a room. However, we don't think about the devices that are always on, even when they appear to be powered down. Many are designed to stay on for convenience. Our TVs are always ready to receive a signal from the remote control, and our computers are ready to wake up at the touch of a button(按钮). But this convenience comes at the cost of higher electricity bills. These increased power bills are especially unwelcome when you consider the sharp rise in energy prices over recent years. Therefore, it is certainly worth looking at ways to reduce your electricity bills.

③Thankfully, there is a way to fight these vampires so that they no longer feed on your wallet. The easiest method is to simply unplug (拔掉插头) your devices when you're not using them. However, this may cause a little trouble if you want to use things like washing machines, fridges or TVs.

④Another way to fix the problem is by connecting your devices to a power strip. This works well for things like cell phone chargers and computers. When you're not using them, just cut off the whole power strip.

⑤In fact, the best way to kill energy vampires is to avoid as many of them as you can. Many devices have a level that shows how energy-efficient they are. Throw away your old devices, use newer ones that have a higher level and then you will watch your electricity bills drop.

⑥Stopping energy vampires makes a difference to more than just your bills, though. It reduces everyone's total electricity use, which is better for the environment. If you want to ▲ , start hunting those energy vampires in your house today!
