I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law.
Let us take a 36 ,reasonable look at what the results might be if such a 37 were accepted; families might use the time for a real family hour. They might 38 together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our 39 —everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 40 illness—are caused at least in part by 41 to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to 42 our problems, we might get to know each other better.
On evenings when such talk is 43 , families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a 44 together to watch the sunset 45 they might take a walk together. 46 free time and no TV, children and adults might rediscover reading. There is more entertainment in 47 than in a TV program. 48 report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 49 at the college level. 50 is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different 51 of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the 52 ends, the TV networks might be forced to 53 with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical (激进的). How will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years 54 television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can 55 childhoods without television. It wasn't that difficult.

A
On June 17,1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follow.
We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your suggestion; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be displeased if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces(省)：they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, and they knew little of very means(方式) of living in the woods they were totally good for nothing.
We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know and make men of them.

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down.
With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations (职业).
Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual on economical faculties [功能]）.
Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to the contraction normally connected with age—using the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the town. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking (萎缩) brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need.“The best way to maintain, good blood circulation is through using the brain.”he says.“Think hard and engage in conversation, Don't rely on pocket calculators.”
60. The team of doctors wanted to find out .
A. why certain people are aging sooner than others. B. how to make people live longer
C. the size of certain people's brains D. which people are most intelligent
61. On what are their research findings based?
A. A survey of farmers in northern old people.
B. The study of brain volumes of old people.
C. The study of brain volumes of different people
D. The latest development of computer technology
62. The doctors' tests show that .
A. our brains shrink as we grow older
B. the front section of the brain does not shrink
C. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D. some people's brains have contracted more than other people's
63. According to the passage, which people seem to age more slowly than the others?
A. Lawyers B. Farmers C. Clerks D. Shop assistants
