阅读以下五篇短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项:
A
One hot night last July, when our new baby wouldn‘t or couldn‘t sleep, I tried everything I could think
·4·
of—a warm bottle, songs and gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours till dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then walked softly out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi‘s forty-fifth birthday. My wife and I heard no more of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room again, I found him still watching TV himself.
I found in my baby‘s behavior a symbol of the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don‘t read, and that they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, I have reached a conclusion—Let them watch it! If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we figure about it? Let them watch as they want. 56. Why did the author bring a TV into his baby son‘s room? A. To make his son become quiet.
B. To make his son go to sleep as soon as possible. C. To spend the night by watching TV program. D. In order not to let his baby feel lonely.
57. The baby‘s reaction(反应) to the TV program is _________. A. calm
B. exciting
C. encouraging
D. unexpected
58. The underlined phrase ―fight about‖ in the passage probably means ________. A. quarrel about B. think of C. care for D. talk over 59. From the passage, we know that the author is _________. A. an editor B. a teacher C. a writer D. a scholar(学者)
B
Our ―Mommy and Me‖ time began two years ago.
My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were our in our front yards, watching seven children of age six and under ride their bikes up and down. ―I wish I could take one of my children out alone,‖ said Christie. Then we worked out a plan. When Christie takes one of her children out alone, I‘ll watch her other three. And when she watched two of mine, I will take someone out.
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of ―Mommy and Me‖ time. Christie‘s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. ―She is like a different kid when there‘s no one else around,‖ Christie shared with me quietly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn‘t have to make any effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I‘m always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的) son, Tom, doesn‘t stutter once during our activities since he doesn‘t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who is always a follower when around other children, shines a leader during our times together.
The ―Mommy and Me‖ time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child—talking, sharing and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves an only child at least once in a while.
