Watching TV is my hobby. I like watching TV very much because I think it has many advantages (優(yōu)點(diǎn)).

First of all, watching TV is a good rest. After a day′s hard work, we need a good rest. Watching TV can make us not tired any more because of the wonderful music and TV plays.

Second, watching TV is entertaining (娛樂(lè)的). There are many kinds of entertainments, such as sports activities, singing and dancing concerts all over the world at any time. It′s not possible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the activities within a short time. We need about or over three hours to fly from New York to Pairs. But within just one second, TV can bring us from an NBA game in New York to a fashion show in Pairs by changing the channel (頻道).

Most importantly, watching TV is educational. Our children can learn different kinds of subjects through the educational programs and it's easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn Russian from a Russian teacher in Moscow. We can even learn how to behave (表現(xiàn)) well from TV plays. At the same time, a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge (極大的) classroom.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the third paragraph?

A. The TV can bring different parts of the world before us.

B. It′s easy for us to go to every place within a short time.

C. A fashion show is more interesting than an NBA game

D. More and more people prefer to go to Paris rather than New York.

2.According to the writer, what is the most important reason for watching TV?

A. We can enjoy ourselves. B. We can have a good rest.

C. We can see things we like. D. We can learn something useful.

3.What does the underlined word “them” refer to?

A. Subjects. B. Programs. C. Channels. D. Children.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. The advantages of watching TV. B. The TV brings us good rest.

C. Today′s TV programs. D. How to use the TV in schools.
