　　C

　　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 bedrooms TVs.

　　A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 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 rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人)may watch lots of TV.

　　Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2½ 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 findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms.

　　64. 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

　　65.What is the researchers’ understanding of the New Zealand study results?

　　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.

　　66. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

　　A. More time should be spent on computers.

　　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.

　　67. What would be the best title for this text?

　　A. Computers or Television

　　B. Effects of Television on Children

　　C. Studies on TV and College Education

　　D. Television and Children’s Learning Habits

　　On May 23,1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn’t seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms(节奏). In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.

　　During her time in the cave, Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to tell her the time. She’d had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.

　　The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn’t kept to a 24-hour day, she had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a results! She had also become rather depressed(抑郁).

　　How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she’d done some physical and mental tests. She’d recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she’d played cards, read books and listened to music. She’d also learned French from tapes.

　　The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature. For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don’t start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!

　　68. Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because ______.

　　A. she was asked to do research on mice

　　B. she wanted to experience loneliness

　　C. she was the subject of a study

　　D. she needed to record her life

　　69. What is a cause for the change of Stefania’s body clock?

　　A. Eating fewer meals.

　　B. Having more hours of sleep.

　　C. Lacking physical exercise.

　　D. Getting no natural light.

　　70. Where does the text probably come from?

　　A. A novel. B. A news story. C. A pet magazine. D. A travel guide.
