Passage 1
Television has opened windows in everybody’s life. Young men will never again go to war as theydid in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been ageneral dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terriblethings that have been shown on the screen.
Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see andhear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so tomake their opinion count.
Unfortunately, television’s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do nothave enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lieto sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normaland acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations” are more violent than theirparents 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 pictures; to read a book that requiresthinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn’t do funny things like the people on children’s programs.
And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That’s the time ittakes on the screen.

A. People have become used to crimes now.
B. With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly.

15. From the passage, we can conclude that __D___.
A. children should keep away from TV
B.TV programs should be improved

Passage 2
Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness oftwo people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on havemeaning which words do not carry.
For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans oftencomplain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the NorthAmerican when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be “cold”or “distant” because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to .
The “eye contact” provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication.Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other thanthere is between people who don’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you arespeaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talkingabout.
On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play agreat part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence canoften be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someonewho is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.
16. According to the passage, nonverbal communication __B___.
A. is a method often used by people who cannot speak
B. can tell something that words cannot
C. can be used to talk with people who cannot bear
D. is less used than words

A. Less eye contact suggests distance in relation.
B. The longer one looks at you, the more interest he has in you.
C. There is more eye contact between people who like each other.
D. Shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is talking about.
19. Too long a gaze ___A__.
A. may upset people being looked at
B. shows one’s great confidence
C. indicates one’s interest in the talk
