Many people have forgotten what the world was like before TV. But today
it has become an integral part of our lives. No medium can compare with
TV as a means of information, entertainment and education. TV now plays
such an important role in so many people’s lives that it is essential for us
to try to decide (36)_______ it is bad or good.
First of all, TV is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also
a (37)_______ cheap one. For a family of 4, for example, it is more
convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home than to go out.
They don’t have to pay for expensive tickets. All they have to do is to turn
on TV and they can see films, political discussions and the latest exciting
football matches. Some people say that this is fist where the danger lies.
The TV viewers need do nothing: they (38)______ no choices, they’re
completely passive and don’t even use their legs.
TV, people often say, informs about current events and the latest
developments in science and politics. A lot of good films, music programs
have appeared recently on TV. (39)_______ here again there is a danger.
We get to like watching TV so much that it begins to dominate our lives. A
friend of mine told me that when his TV set broke he and his family
suddenly found that they had much more time to do things.
The most important thing which is really criticizing is poor quality of the
programs and its harmful effect on children. For example the film “Natural
Born Killers” teaches children to kill and there was one accident in
France when a group of teenagers kill their parents.
There are many arguments for and against TV. I think we must
understand that TV in itself is neither good (40)______ bad. TV is as good
or as bad as we make it.

answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 41 to 45.
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those
wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does
help people nod off - if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin,
which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being
fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day
and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of
melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk
collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal
of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep
longer.
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been
tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested
to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for
helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to
relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending
skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening.
The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put
on your body at night.
Question 41: According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk
_________.
A. started sleep more easily B.. were more anxious
C. were less active D. woke up later
Question 42: Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the
text?
A. It’s been tested on mice for ten B. It can make people more
years energetic
C. It exists in milk in great amount D.. It’s used in sleeping drugs
Question 43: What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.. Night Milk and Sleep B. Fat Sugar and Health
C. An Experiment on Mice D. Milk Drinking and Health
Question 44: How does the author support the theme of the text?
A. By giving examples. B. By stating arguments.
C. By explaining statistical data. D.. By providing research results.
Question 45: The word “nod off” in the passage is closest in meaning to
_______.
A. feel relaxed B. sit up C.. fall asleep D. shake head

In modern society, receiving systematic college education seems a
necessary way for success as a graduate from first-class university may
always get more opportunities than others. However, if it is gold, it will

found Microsoft with friend Paul Allen. And in 2007, he finally received an
honorary doctorate from Harvard.

great influences on development of modern technique and culture.
However, this wizard thought that his brief college education was not
