Television has a huge influence on our lives. It is one of the most important ways of getting information. People spend part of their spare time watching television, and much of what they learn comes from it.

      What we see on TV—movies, news shows, sports shows, advertisements and so on have increased our knowledge and have changed the way we learn about the world today. However, not everything on TV is true.

     Most of the viewers are children. Television sometimes is like a baby-sitter. It spends more time with children than parents do. But it keeps them in the living room away from healthy outdoor activities. They spend less time playing soccer or walking in the park or playing games in the yard.

Of course, there are some programs on TV that are good for children. But there are also some shows which are bad. Children should not watch unhealthy shows. Maybe we can’t change what is on TV, but we can choose what we watch. Do you agree?

Jean is a bright young woman from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has almost everything that money can buy. But the people in Jean’s family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.

  So Jean spends a lot of her time on QQ. She likes being anonymous (匿名的) talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and made a lot of friends.

  Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and he lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had the same interests in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them many hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot the time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: he was a tall, good-looking young man with big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.

  When Jean’s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him, so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of the rock singer they liked most.

Big ocean fish have almost been endangered since the start of business fishing in the

1950s. The scientists found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the

past fifty years. The study took ten years. The researchers collected records from fishing

businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published(發(fā)表)the findings.

   The scientists say the common way called longline fishing is especially harmful to large fish. This way includes many fishing lines that are connected(連接) to one boat. If these lines are joined together, they can reach one hundred kilometers. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks(鉤) to catch fish. Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese

fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every

one hundred hooks. The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per

hundred hooks.

The scientists say business fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the

past. It’s not the only worry that the number of large fish is becoming smaller and smaller.

What’s worse, they are smaller in size than their ancestors(祖先).
