閱讀理解，閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳答案。

　　Television is a central part of many people's lives．There are very few places in the world where one cannot find a television set．Some sporting events, such as the Olympic Games or the football World Cup, can attract audiences of many millions．But is television a good or bad influence on young people in the modern world?

　　Thomas Murray, president of the British Parents Against Television Society, believes that it has not improved young people's lives．“Television damages family life, ” he argues．“At mealtime, families no longer talk to each other．In the evenings, youngsters do not spend good quality time with family members．Instead, they watch television．” Murray says that this lack of communication leads to social problems．

　　Murray also believes that the content of television programmes provides young people with poor role models．“There is so much violence(暴力)on TV－guns, kung fu fighting, and so on．Young people think that all problems should be solved by aggression．”

　　It is not just young people's mental health that worries Murray．“Teenagers don't get enough exercise because they spend so many hours watching television．They also develop back problems from sitting down for so long, and eye ________ strain from the effort of watching．”

　　Murray would like to see changes to television habits．“Programmes should be educational．Their contents should be nonviolent and healthy．There should be no programmes after ten o’clock in the evening．Parents should teach their children to enjoy their spare time by playing sports or games．And certainly, the television should be switched off during mealtime．

　　Susan Taylor is a television producer．She believes that television is a good influence on young people．“Television brings the outside world to youngsters．It even brought us pictures from the moon! And look what happens after the Olympic Games or the World Cup matches have been shown on TV．People start to take more exercise．Also, there are a lot of programmes about healthy eating and keeping fit．”

　　However, Taylor agrees with Murray's point of view concerning parents．“Of course parents have a role to play in educating their kids．They should turn the TV off during mealtime and they should talk with their children as often as possible．”

(1)

The article is mainly about ________．

[　　]

It’s common to hear the honking of horns in New York. Whoever tries every day to get more than a few minutes of sleep in the city will tell you that he could do nothing about it! Honking of horns is just one of their most widely enjoyed pastimes.

But Aaron, a Japanese website developer has had enough of it. Once, the 31-year-old man approached the open window to wait for the driver to finish honking, delivered a polite "excuse me" and then yelled " Ho-o-o-o-onk!", which suggests fierce anger in Japan. Then he threw three eggs from the window of his apartment on to a passing car honking loudly below when his patience was worn out. Instead of apologizing to him, the driver threatened to kill him angrily. So, nobly, Aaron turned to non-violence. He started writing anti-honking haiku verses, a form of Japanese poetry, and submitted them to local newspapers:

Oh .forget Enron;

The problem around here is;

All the damn honking

(Enron: a major American company that recently caused a scandal by going bankrupt be­cause of corrupt(腐敗) mismanagement)

"Then this kind of chain reaction started happening," Aaron says. "All these other haiku star­ted appearing that I haven't written." Aaron’ s community is now covered in anti - hon­king poetry, written by all walks of life, ranging from scary environmental activist types to violent revolutionaries:

Patience slowly fades;

Residents store up their eggs;

That day is coming soon.

It’s no surprise that Aaron has started a website — www. honku. org — and now people from across the country send him news of their own anti - honking activities. It seems that poetry can change the world after all. Then, just recently, anti-anti- honking haiku started to appear, taped up by locals who thought Aaron should stop worrying about honking and start wor­rying about starving children, say, or war in the  Middle East instead. Aaron has an answer for that. "Stop me if this is too tenuous(不靠譜的) ," he says," but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it' s a force of nature, like it' s beyond our control. But actually it's kind of like the honking - the violence is man -made. If we can figure out how to stop honking on the streets, I think we could learn some things that we could use on a large scale. "

1.The first paragraph of the passage is intended to tell us that_______.

A. New Yorkers have formed a habit of honking while driving

B. most New Yorkers enjoy sleeping late in the morning

C. honking noise has influenced people's life in New York

D. New Yorkers enjoy listening to the honking of horns

2.What is Aaron’s final response to the frequent honking of horns?

A. Pretended to ignore it.

B. Screamed at the driver.

C. Acted in a peaceful way.

D. Complained to the government.

3.According to the passage, most New Yorkers think Aaron's response is ___.

A. pointless

B. abnormal

C. sensitive

D. acceptable

4.Faced with the criticism of his anti-honking campaign, Aaron notes that___.

A. fierce violence in the Middle East is more of an issue worthy of concern

B. finding the solution to anti - honking is as meaningful as that to starvation

C. big issues are beyond our control while small ones are under our control

D. if not handled properly, honking may cause serious problems like starvation
