Section I Reading Comprehension(40 points) 囚 Read the passage.Then answer the questions that follow.(5 points each) A Even though education is compulsory for children in the United States.it is not compulsory for them to go to a conventional school to get that education.In every one of the 50 states,it is legal for parents to educate their children at home,or to"home school"their children.Although no state requires parents to have special training to home school their children,the regulations parents must follow vary widely from state to state.New Jersey,for example,imposes virtually no requirements.In contrast,New York requires home schoolers to notify their school districts,file instructional plans and frequent reports,and submit the results of tests or other forms of assessment for each child. B Increasing numbers of American families have been opting for home schooling. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics,about 1.1 million children were being home schooled in the spring of 2003.This represents an increase from the 850,000 who were being home schooled in the spring of 1999.In addition,the home-schooling rate-the percentage of the school-age population that was being home schooled-increased from 1.7 percent in 1999 to 2.2 percent in 2003. A survey conducted in 2003 asked parents to give their most important reasons for home schooling their children.Thirty-one percent cited concerns about the environment in conventional schools,including safety,drugs,or negative peer pressure.Thirty percent said that the most important reason was to provide religious or moral instruction.Sixteen percent said that the most important reason was dissatisfaction with academic instruction at conventional schools.Parents gave other reasons,too;for instance,many said that they wanted to strengthen family bonds or allow their children more freedom. 1356

But how can watching too much television be harmful to your life and health?One way is that it can start a cycle of bad feelings.According to one study,people who watch the most TV already suffer from anxiety or loneliness.Watching TV makes them feel relaxed and helps them forget about their feelings for a while.But the study found that while people did relax while watching television,the feelings of relaxation disappeared after they stopped watching,and the people felt worse than they did when they started watching TV. Therefore,they wanted to watch more television so they could continue to forget their bad feelings.All this TV watching kept them from doing things that could actually make them feel better,like exercising,participating in hobbies,reading,or spending time with friends and family. D Another way TV watching can be harmful is,like the addictions mentioned above,TV can cause you to neglect your life.The more you watch,the more you want to watch,and after a while,TV replaces real experiences.TV addicts stop talking to their families,don't exercise,don't see their friends,and don't learn new things.Basically,TV addicts stop experiencing life. E The harmful effects of TV addiction may not be as obvious as those of cigarette,drug,or alcohol addiction,but TV addiction can take a person's life away.If you think that excessive TV watching is not harmful,keep track of how much TV you watch every day,and think about all the other things you could be doing during those wasted hours. Decide whether the following statements are true or false.Write"T"for True and"F"for False on the Answer Sheet. 6.People watch a lot of TV,but there is no such thing as a TV addiction. 7.According to the article,one way cigarette smoking can be harmful to your life is that it can cause serious health problems. 8.Drugs and alcohol keep addicts from thinking clearly and being responsible. 9.According to a study,the people who watch the most TV already feel bad about themselves and their lives. 10.Television addicts probably are not healthy and physically fit. 1359
