4、m all the terrible things that have been shown on the sc-Teen. Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs， see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed， people are more likely to vote， and so to make their opinion count. Unfortunatel

5、y， televisions influence has been extremely harnfful to the young. (76) Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless.

11、o 10 are based on the following passage: Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures， movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. (78) The scientists say that those gestures， movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry. For example， the body distance between

12、 two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking， while the South American often considers the NorthAmerican to be “cold”“or ”distant“”because he keeps a greater distance between hi

13、mself 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 than there is between people who dont like each other. (79) The length of time

14、 that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about. On the other hand， too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest， sh

15、yness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness.

At this stage nearly ail the teachers are women， mostly married. (76)

20、The atmosphere is usually very friendly， and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that

21、they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is

22、 on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious， in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however， the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do
