       Signing up for a digital TV service provides you with access to over 200 channels from all over the globe. However, television today is dominated by adult language, making it hard for concerned families to find channels suitable for young eyes. Therefore, most movie channels are automatically removed form the list of TV channels for an entire family. The following are some good ones based on popularity on a global scale.

       Discovery Channel

       Discovery and its many channels can be considered as the founding father of informative channels on television. What National Geographic does in a scholastic(学术的) manner, Discovery tries to do in an entertaining manner—educating the masses about anything and everything.

       Fox Family

       Finding a movie channel that broadcasts pictures suitable for teenagers and kids alike is very difficult unless your service operator offers you Fox family movies. This channel screens most movies before it broadcasts them, ensuring that no movie shows unacceptable material for young eyes.

       Nickelodeon

       A channel very similar to Cartoon Network, it mostly shows US programs. However, their shows are sometimes a bit more mature for younger kids and better suited to kids aged 5and up.

       ABC Family

       ABC started the ABC family channel in an attempt to introduce family-centered shows and serials to the public in the USA. The need for this channel was felt after ABC observed the lack of proper family type US channels.

       Living

       If travelling is a family hobby and better living is the motto then there is no better channel than Living. Kids can see never-seen-before sights, learning about new places while adults can practice their cooking and learn amazing things about motorbikes.

21. According to the text, most channels offered by a digital TV service ______.

       A. can keep people away from TV violence

       B. are welcomed by families with small children

       C. are concerned about the proper use of language

       D. are unsuitable for the whole family to watch together

22. Which of the following can best describe Discovery Channel?

    A. Relaxing.        B. Touching.    C. Commercial.    D. Professional.

23. If people want to know about what a traditional family is like, they can choose ____.

       A. Fox Family     B. Nickelodeon    C. ABC Family         D. Living

A． Either                B． Neither       C． None                   D． Both

    For those who are tired doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine (33)_______can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application).

     Strange (34)_______it may seem - "my wife already does that" was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it （35）_________ (introduce) at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week - Samsung is just one of many appliance makers (36)_________ (race) to install (安装) a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them "smart".

     Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it's Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges (37)_________ can tell you when your groceries are going bad.

     The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus.

     Samsung says it's not just something new - the app connection actually has some practical uses.

     "If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer (38)_______ the time when come home, (39)_______ _______ your clothes are refreshed and ready to go," said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.

     Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is (40)__________ all good technologies do –enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.

    On a Friday night in May 2015, Oliver and Lone Kleven heard angry shouts coming from their front lawn. Lone, 68, stepped onto the porch and saw two men in dark clothes struggling with something on the ground—right where she and her grandson had planted a flower bed the weekend before.

    “Go fight somewhere else!” she shouted, worried her plants would get damaged. At the sound of her voice, the face of a boy appeared from beneath the two men. He looked 13 or 14 or so. “They’re trying to kill me!” the boy screamed. Lone ran toward them and, without hesitation, caught the boy’s arm, pulling him out.

    “Leave him alone!” she shouted. When the men stood up, Lone saw what looked like a sharp object in one man’s hand. When she turned back toward the boy, he was moaning in pain and holding his stomach. The attackers began to move in on the boy again when Lone’s husband shouted: “Get lost!” The two men walked quickly and quietly across the street and drove off in a dark car.

    “I have to get to the hospital!” the boy cried. He lifted his shirt, and Lone could see a bloody wound on his stomach. Oliver hugged the trembling boy while Lone caught her cell phone and car keys inside the house. She handed the phone to Oliver. “Call 911,” she told him. “I’m going after them.” Lone took off but was unable to find the car.

    The Klevens then learned what had happened. Earlier that night, as the boy waited for his parents to pick him up from the high school across the street from the Klevens’ house, two men approached and demanded his wallet. When he refused, one of the men hit him in the face. The boy ran across the street. The men caught up with him, and one hurt him in the back and stomach with a sharp knife. That’s when Lone stepped in.

    The boy’s wounds required operations, but he has fully recovered.

    “He was alone and outnumbered,” says Lone. “There was no time to do anything except what I did.”

24.  Why did Lone shout at the man at the beginning of the story?

    A. To stop them fighting with each other.              B. To prevent her flowers being ruined.

    C. To stop them stealing in the flower bed.           D. To keep the boy from being wounded.

25.  What’s Lone’s first reaction when she got close to the men?

    A. She kept them separate.                                  B. She was shocked at the boy’s wounds.

    C. She pulled the boy out.                             D. She called her husband for help.

26. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. An old couple rescued a boy by fighting against two robbers.       

B. A boy was saved.

C. Two robbers were driven away.              

D. An old lady didn’t track the two robbers.

27.  What’s the correct order of the following events?

    b. The two men drove off in a dark car.

    c. The boy waited for his parents to pick him up.

Eventually all suns will   36   their fuel, explode and then become cold and dark. Matter itself will disappear and the universe will become   37   for the rest of time.

This was the general drift of my thoughts as my wife and I   38   my eldest son as a freshman at college. That moment at the dorm is   39   at the kindergarten door, at the gates of summer camp, at every occasion of parting and   40  . But it comes surprising, taking what you   41   most.

Our ancestors thought this parting should take place   42  . In many societies adolescents were sent away to live with friends or relatives right after adolescence. This was supposed to   43   the conflicts that come from   44   teenagers and their parents very near.

Eighteen years is not enough. The days pass uncounted, until they   45  . The adjustment is upsetting. My son is on the   46   side --- observant, thoughtful, a practitioner of companionable silence. I know this is hard on him as well. He will be homesick. Among the greatest   47   of college students is they won’t have a room at home to return to.

But with due respect to my son’s feelings, I have the   48   of parting. I know something he doesn’t --- incomprehensible to the young. He is experiencing the   49   that come with beginnings. His life is starting for real. I have begun the long letting go. Put another way: He has a wonderful future in which my part   50   decreases.

I’m sure my father realized it at a(n)   51   moment. And I certainly didn’t notice or understand. At first, he was a giant who held my hand and   52    my sky. Then a middle-aged man who paid my bills. Now, decades after his passing, a much-loved   53  . But I can remember the last time I hugged him in his home, where I always had a room. I can only hope to leave my son the same.

My son, those days have been the greatest wonder and   54   of my life. And there will always be a   55   for you.
