There are many different kinds of computers now. They all can be joined to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies.

27、Too much TV - watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.
A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown - ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26 - year - olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out (排除) that already poorly motivated youngsters may watch lots of TV.
Their study measured the TV habits of 26 - year - olds between ages 5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.
In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.
While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating (积累) findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.
【1】According to the California study, the low - scoring group might ________ .
A.have watched a lot of TV
B.not be interested in math
C.be unable to go to college
D.have had computers in their bedrooms

A.Poorly motivated 26 - year - olds watch more TV
B.Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest
C.TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15 - year olds
D.The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain

B.Children should be forbidden from watching TV
C.TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms
D.Further studies on high - achieving students should be done

C.TV sellers
D.education experts
28、An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items, like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits(短路)and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath(在…下方) an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris (瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
【1】The purpose of the passage is to tell readers _____.

29、Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.
Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines how people react in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.
United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(手肘)and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.
Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They are also respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for other’s time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes earlier to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.

Located halfway up the Italy’s Apennine Mountain,about 1 00 miles northeast of Rome,the Hotel Rigopiano has never been easy to reach. But its isolation(隔绝)only adds to its appeal,attracting a great number of tourists.
Snow began to fall across the Apennines in January and lasted for days. From his home in the Rome suburbs,Matrone watched the weather with concern. He and his wife,Cicioni,had planned an overnight getaway to the hotel. But now he wondered whether they should go. After phoning the hotel,they decided to make the trip. By the time they neared the hotel six hours later,they were battling a snowstorm. When they finally arrived,they were both cold and exhausted. They checked into their room and went to bed early.
As they awoke the next day,they discovered that their difficulty had worsened overnight. The cars in the parking lot were invisible. The phone and power lines were down. They were having breakfast when the hotel began to shake. An earthquake with a magnitude(震级)of 5. 7 had struck the mountain. “Get out of here!”Matrone shouted to his wife. They headed quickly to the parking lot,where others were digging their cars. Fifteen minutes after the first earthquake,another quake hit,this one measuring 5. 6.
With a dozen vehicles freed by noon,the guests set off down the driveway. But when they reached the main road,the path was blocked by a six-foot-high wall of snow. Matrone climbed out of his car and investigated it. There was no road in sight,“We’re trapped!”he told his wife. So they had no choice but to make their way back to the hotel.
As it was getting dark,they managed to be back. That was when the snow on the mountain began to slide. They heard the avalanche(雪崩)before they saw it. The avalanche gathered speed and size,grabbing rocks and trees and anything else in its way down the mountain,tearing the hotel from its foundation. When the avalanche came to a stop,those caught inside the hotel were left buried in the icy rocks and ruins.
Para1, When Matrone came to himself,he was stuck in the darkness.
