Bored? Don’t know what to do with your time? Get your friends or family together, go to the park or go hiking, do something fun---just don’t turn on your TV.

The 10th annual TV-Turnoff Week starts on Monday. The TV-Turnoff Network, a nonprofit organization, began the program in 1994 to get children and adults to watch less television so that their time is spent doing more productive things. This year, millions of people will participate and find much more interesting things to do besides sitting in front of the television.

Experts are convinced that watching too much TV keeps kids from participating in healthy physical activities. The average household has a television on for 7 hours and 40 minutes a day! Kids spend more time watching TV than they spend in school. Turning off the TV gives you a chance to be with your family and friends. Going without it frees up valuable time that could be spent reading a good book, writing, drawing, or discovering something else that may interest you.

There are many organizations that support TV-Turnoff week, including The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, YMCA, Girl Scouts USA, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America. Even First Lady Laura Bush is a supporter. “Television is no substitute for a parent. It doesn’t help develop language skills; it’s simply background noise,” said Mrs. Bush.

Even kids who may not have liked going without TV have discovered the benefits. “I really didn’t like TV-Turnoff Week except I did notice that my grades went up and I was in a good mood all week,” said Drew Henderson, a student in Donora, Pennsylvania.

1.The TV-Turnoff Network started TV-Turnoff Week to ___________.

A. to get people to spend more time doing more productive things

B. to keep kids from participating in healthy physical activities

C. to advise people not to buy television sets

D. to persuade more people to join the organization

2.Which is not the advantage of turning off the TV?

A. Giving you a chance to be with your family and friends.

B. Spending more time reading books.

C. Developing language skills.

D. Participating in healthy physical activities.

3.Drew Henderson’s words in the last paragraph imply that _____________.

A. he doesn’t like TV-Turnoff Week

B. he doesn’t support TV-Turnoff Week at all

C. it’s unnecessary to have TV-Turnoff Week

D. he doesn’t support TV-Turnoff Week until he finds it does good to his study

When my friend Lesa was diagnosed(診斷) with cancer, another friend and I went to the hospital to spend some time with her. We bought her a small toy and named him Lemon－Aide. We gave Lemon－Aide to Lesa and told her he was to go with her to all of her treatments to remind her that we were thinking of her and caring about her even though we could not always be with her. When the treatments were completed, she said when someone else needed him she would pass him along.

A few months later，much to my surprise, it was me that she passed him to. Lemon－Aide went with me to all of my treatments.

One day while waiting for my doctor I decided we could market the idea to fight cancer. Lesa thought it was a great idea so we founded the organization that came to be known as Lemon－Aide' s Friends, Inc. We designed our organization to remind people fighting cancer that there are people who love and care about them all the time. Today we have totally 5013 volunteers. The money raised is donated to cancer patients who do not have insurance. The physicians on our Board of Advisors determine how and where our money is donated.

Lemon－Aide is for men, women, and children of all ages and to date has been sent to 34 states and 33 countries to provide smiling support for people fighting cancer. When life gave us lemons we made Lemon－Aide, a soft smiling toy that represents love, support, and encouragement.

（湖南省邵陽市2017屆高三1月大聯(lián)考）My daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marlon Brando was wearing jeans so long ago.Of course he helped set the trend,so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion.Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long.The Wild One is a good example:it appeared in 1954,starring Brando.Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket,leather cap and jeans,he created a look which is still considered “cool” today.Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.

Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences women’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.

In more modern times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994.Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.

Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It started the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos（和服）,and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to western countries.

1.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Films and fashion. B. Stars’ fashion

C. Influential films. D. Film cultures.

2.Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with?

A. Zhang Ziyi. B. Audrey Hepburn.

C. Uma Thurman. D. Marlon Brando.

3.What is implied in the film Breakfast in Tiffany’s according to the passage?

A. One can be active by wearing black.

B. One can be elegant by wearing simply.

C. One can be famous by looking perfect.

D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany’s.

4.What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to?

A. The popularity of the Chinese actress.

B. The worldwide reading of Geisha stories.

C. The recovery of interest in kimonos.

D. The “geisha trips” to social events.

Seventy years ago, a group of well-known people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theater in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交響樂團). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.

At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.

Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theater groups performing, some said it was getting too big.

A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

1.What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?

A. To introduce young theater groups.

B. To honor heroes of World WarⅡ.

C. To attract great artists from Europe.

D. To bring Europe together again.

2.Why did some uninvited theater groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?

A. They owned a public house there.

B. They wanted to take part in the festival.

C. They thought they were also famous.

D. They came to take up a challenge.

3.Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?

A. Popular writers

B. Artists from around the world.

C. University students.

D. Performers of music and dance.

4.We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival______.

A. keeps growing rapidly

B. has gone beyond an art festival

C. gives shows all year round

D. has become a non-official event
