one was Robe.It'd frequently jump out and run off.But when asked why he liked it,Dad would say,"When it comes to farm work,Tobe comes up to standards（标准）."Dad died when I was 11，and we had to sell the farm.Those were hard years,but Mom managed to give me my first music lesson.Before long our neighbors liked my songs so much that I decided to make a career of singing.At 17 I left home for the radio station in Jackson and discovered how inexperienced I was.I made up my mind that I would practice until I came up to standards.I took a job as adriver.Given 25 cents a run,I could spend the rest of the time practicing.Finally,when I was good enough,I began playing for audiences nationwide.By now,though,we had two kids and I knew what a family was without a dad,so I quit the performance and entered the most depressing years of my life with all theclothing,homework,and duties wound the house.That was when I thought about Tobe.It was self-willed,but in the field,where it mattered,Tobe came up to standards.So I started doing some listening and made a discovery.My kids' lifestyle may be different.But where standards are concerned--for things like honesty and courage-they often do better

What may be more interesting is what less widely known colleges can do.The study identified 10 less selective universities that also helped large numbers of students escape poverty.This proves that any given college can be a tool for success.However,there are other things to consider.The study notes that Ivy League and other top schools are less likely to admit students from low-income families.On average,a young person from the highest income background is 77 percent more likely to attend one of the highest income background is 77 percent more likely to attend one of these schools than someone from the lowest income background.Also,while a college education may help almost everyone,higher income students still have an advantage.The students born into the highest income families still earned at least two percent more after college than anyone else.This is because people from wealthier families have more connections that can help their children.（1）What finding attracts the author's more attention？ ___A.Non-famous schools also benefit students.B.It is quite competitive to enter famous schools.C.College education has great effects on students.D.Ordinary schools do better than well-known ones.（2）What is unfairness of the Ivy League and other top schools？ ___A.They bring too much stress on students.B.They charge too much for education.C.They look down upon poor students.D.They offer more chances to the rich.（3）What factor mentioned in the text can affect a student's income？ ___A.College major courses.B.Different universities.C.Family background.D.Records of study.（4）What is the best title of this text？ ___A.You Don't have to Choose the Most Famous SchoolsB.Does a College Education Help All People Equally？C.Is College Education a Must For Poor Students？D.Well-Known Universities Help You Succeed14.（填空题，8分）As its name suggests,the common swift is a common bird that lives all across Europe and much of Asia,but their flight time is anything but common.It currently holds the record for the most time spent in the air per year,with data showing that some species can spend up to 10 months out of 12 without landing even once.They drink and eat in the air,feeding on any insects that they can catch in flight.They can mate in the air as well,and they can also sleep in the air by gliding on warm air currents known as "thermals".A team of researchers at Lund University developed a new type of micro-data logger to track （追踪） the birds' movements,and fitted them to 19 common swifts that were later caught again.Without going into too much detail about the results of the study,the findings showed that common swifts spent over 99% of their time during the 10-month non-breeding period in the air."A few swifts in our study never landed during this period," study author Anders Hedenström told Seeker,adding that he believed the birds somehow sleep while flying.The study didn't analyze how common swifts can do that,but it's supposed that it is through a mechanism（机制）similar to that of frigate birds and Alpine swifts,which also can stay in the air for months.Common swifts are born to fly.Their bodies have adapted to the almost non-stop flight-their wings are long and narrow,their legs are short and light,and they have an almost perfect aerodynamic（空气动力学）shape.They also change their feathers very slowly over a period of six months,so as not to affect their flight.Swifts generally have a higher survivability rate compared to most birds,and their love offlight is believed to directly influence that.Being in the air for long periods of time means they don't have to worry about meeting predators（捕食者）except those catching then by accident.Data shows that common swifts can reach ages of 20 years or more,and fly over three million kilometers.That's seven round trips to the moon.（1）What can we know about the common swifts？ ___A.They fly in the air all the year around.B.They are the only birds without landing for months.C.They stay longer in the air than any other bird.D.They can't fly long without warn air currents.（2）Why did the researcher fit the micro-data logger to the swifts？ ___A.To limit their flight range.B.To catch more swifts.C.To record their activity.D.To measure their flight height.（3）What's the paragraph 4 mainly about？ ___mon swifts' perfect flying body structure.B.The reasons for common swifts' long flight.C.The speed of changing their feathers.D.The differences of their movements.（4）What can we infer from the text？ ___A.Some swifts can fly far to the moon.B.Swifts don't have natural enemies.C.Flight contributes to swifts' long life.D.The higher the swifts fly,the safer they are.15.（填空题，10分）Ways to Improve Participation（参与）in Your Virtual Classroom（虚拟课堂）During remote learning this

电视对家庭的影响英语作文120字
电视对家庭的影响英语作文120字全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Impact of TV on FamiliesMy name is Timmy and I'm 10 years old. I love watching TV –it's one of my favorite things to do after school and on the weekends. But sometimes I wonder if TV is really good for my family. Here's what I've noticed:First of all, TV takes up a lot of our time as a family. When we get home from school and activities, instead of talking to each other, we often just plop down on the couch and turn on the TV. My dad loves watching sports, my mom likes reality shows, and my little sister and I gravitate toward cartoons and Disney Channel. Before we know it, hours have gone by and we've barely said two words to each other!Sometimes arguments break out over what to watch too. My parents want to watch their grown-up shows while my sister and I want to watch kid shows. Nobody can agree so we end up watching something nobody really likes. Or we have multiple TVs on in different rooms which totally separates our family. Insteadof doing things together, we're all zoned out in our own TV worlds.The shows we watch impact our family too. I've noticed my parents sometimes repeat things they see on TV without realizing it. Like when my dad yells lines from funny movies or when my mom uses slang words she heard on reality shows. It's kind of silly but also shows how influential TV can be. My sister and I have also picked up habits or ideas from the TV shows we watch, even though some of them aren't very realistic portrayals of life.Another issue is that TV has so many advertisements for junk food, toys, and other things kids want but don't need. My sister and I are constantly begging for the latest toy or sugary cereal we see advertised. My parents have to constantly say no, which leads to fights. The commercials make stuff look so cool that it's hard to not want it!On the positive side, sometimes we have enjoyed watching shows together as a family. Like when we watch holiday movies around Christmas or family-friendly comedies on weekends. Those times when we all laugh together are nice. And TV can be educational too – we've learned about science, history, and cultures by watching documentaries and kid shows.But generally speaking, I think TV causes our family to spend less quality time together. We're all so distracted by our individual shows and commercials that we don't pay enough attention to each other. We should probably cut back on TV time and do more activities together as a family.Maybe we could go on more hikes, play board games, or just sit around and talk more like we used to before TV took over our lives. Those are the times I cherish most – feeling connected to my family without electronic distractions. TV will always be around for entertainment, but making time for each other needs to be the top priority. After all, a healthy family is way more important than any TV show.篇2The Impact of Television on FamiliesTelevision has become a huge part of our lives nowadays. Almost every home has at least one TV set, and many families spend a lot of time watching TV together or separately. While TV can be entertaining and educational, it can also affect families in both positive and negative ways.One of the main benefits of TV for families is that it can bring people together. Watching a favorite show or movie as a familycan be a fun bonding experience. It gives everyone a chance to spend quality time together, laugh at the same jokes, and discuss the plot or characters afterwards. Having a shared interest like this can strengthen family relationships and create lasting memories.TV can also be educational for kids. There are lots of great shows that teach kids new facts about science, history, animals, and so much more in a fun and engaging way. Educational shows make learning feel like playtime instead of boring schoolwork. Well-made children's programs also often promote positive values like kindness, honesty, and perseverance through their stories and characters.However, TV can also negatively impact families if it's not used in moderation. If family members spend too much time watching TV, it takes away from quality time spent talking, playing, and bonding together. Excessive TV viewing can make people feel isolated, even if they're in the same room. It's hard to have a real conversation when everyone is staring at the screen.Too much TV can also discourage physical activity and contribute to unhealthy habits. When kids and adults are sitting on the couch for hours every day watching shows, they don't get enough exercise. Plus, it's easy to mindlessly snack on junk foodin front of the TV. This couch potato lifestyle is bad for everyone's health.The content of TV shows is another potential issue. While some shows are educational and promote good values, many others contain inappropriate content for kids like violence, rude humor, bad language, and adult situations. Exposure to this kind of content at a young age can warp kids' views on what's acceptable behavior.Advertising on TV is something else parents need to be careful about. Companies use commercials and product placements to directly market things like junk food, toys, clothes, and more to kids. Children are very impressionable, so this advertising can make them nag their parents for unhealthy snacks or convince them they absolutely must have the latest toy or gadget to be happy. It creates unrealistic expectations and turns kids into overly materialistic consumers from a young age.Overall, I believe TV can be a wonderful thing for families as long as it's used wisely and in moderation. Watching quality shows together and using TV as an occasional educational tool is great. But families need to be careful about excessive TV viewing and exposure to inappropriate content and advertisements. TV shouldn't become a replacement for family interaction, exercise,healthier hobbies, and real-life experiences. With some balance and discretion, TV can be a nice addition to family life without controlling or negatively impacting it.篇3The Impact of TV on FamiliesHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm ten years old. Today, I want to share my thoughts on how television affects families like mine. TV is a huge part of our lives nowadays, and it can have both good and bad impacts.Let's start with the positive sides of TV. One major benefit is that it allows us to learn about so many different topics in an entertaining way. There are educational shows that teach kids like me about science, history, geography and more through fun stories, songs and animations. My favorite is the space exploration series that makes me dream of becoming an astronaut one day! TV also lets us escape into imaginary worlds through movies and fiction shows. I love curling up with my family to watch a fantasy adventure – it's a special bonding time for us.However, TV can also negatively impact families if we're not careful. Firstly, it can be really addictive and make us waste toomuch time in front of the screen instead of playing outside or reading books. My little brother gets grumpy if he watches too many shows in a row. Another issue is that some TV content has bad influences like promoting unrealistic body images, gender stereotypes or violence. My parents have to be selective about what we watch to avoid those negative messages.Too much TV can also disrupt family routines and interaction. If the TV is always on as "background noise", it prevents us from having quality conversations and connecting with each other.I've noticed that my parents get irritable if they're trying to work from home while the TV is blaring. And if we're all watching our own shows separately on different devices, it takes away from doing fun activities together as a family.That's why I think it's crucial to have rules and balance around TV time. At my house, we're only allowed a certain amount of TV per day, nothing during mealtimes, and we take breaks to do other things. My parents make sure to pre-screen shows before we watch them. And we have a weekly "Screen-Free Night" where we play board games, do arts and crafts or just hang out device-free. Moderation is key!In my opinion, TV can definitely bring families together through shared viewing experiences and introducing us toamazing stories from around the world. But we need to be smart about how much TV we watch and what kind of shows we choose. As long as there are clear limits in place and a balance with other activities, TV can be a wonderful thing that brings joy and learning into our lives. Too much of anything is never good though, so families need to be mindful about excessive TV habits. With some thoughtful rules, television can absolutely have a positive place in family life.Those are just my thoughts as a ten-year-old kid who loves TV but also loves spending quality time with my family. What do you all think about the impacts of television based on your own experiences? I'd love to hear some other perspectives! Thanks for reading my essay.篇4The Telly and How it Affects Our FamiliesTelevision is a big part of many families' lives these days. We have a big flat screen TV in our living room that seems to be on most of the time. My parents say that when they were kids, they only had a small TV and just a few channels to choose from. Now we have hundreds of channels plus streaming services like Netflix! TV can affect families in both good and bad ways.One good thing about TV is that it can bring a family together. My family loves watching certain shows together like talent competition shows or funny sitcoms. We'll make popcorn and drinks and snuggle up on the couch. It's fun to laugh at the silly things that happen and root for our favorite acts or characters. Having shows we all enjoy watching gives us something to bond over and share as a family. After the show is over, we talk about our favorite moments and performances. TV gives us a fun shared experience.However, sometimes the TV can actually pull families apart too. If everyone is watching their own separate shows in different rooms, then we don't get that quality time together. My brother likes watching sports while I prefer cartoons and my parents like drama shows. When we're all doing our own thing with the TV, we don't interact much as a family. Mom has to yell for us when dinner is ready because we have our headphones on and don't hear her.Too much TV can also make kids less active and healthy. It's so easy to just plop down in front of the TV for hours, eating chips and candy instead of going outside to play and run around. My friend Johnny watches TV for like 6 hours a day! No wonder he struggles in gym class. When I watch too much TV, I get aheadache and feel lazy. Moderation is key - a little TV is fine, but not all day long.Some of the content on TV can also be inappropriate for kids. There's a lot of violence, inappropriate language, and romantic stuff that isn't suitable for youngsters. My parents have parental controls to block certain channels and shows that aren'tage-appropriate. But even in the commercials sometimes there are promos for shows with iffy content. It's something parents have to be aware of with TV.At school, we've learned that too much "screen time" from TVs, computers, tablets, and phones can affect kids' brain development and ability to concentrate. The lights and constant stimulation from screens can actually rewire kids' brains in a way that makes it harder to focus. It's important to take breaks from screens and balance them with other activities.Overall, I think TV can be entertaining and fun in moderation. It can allow families to share laughs and quality time together. But parents need to be cautious about how much screen time their kids get. Too much TV means missing out on exercise, fresh air, reading, playing, and other important activities. And some shows just aren't appropriate for kids. Families have to set reasonable limits and guidelines around TV viewing.I hope that when I have my own kids someday, we can find a healthy balance with television. Maybe we'll do a "TV day" once a week where we can binge our favorite shows. But most days, we'll focus on other fun family activities without screens. Going to the park, playing sports and games, reading, working on projects, and exploring outside seem like a better way to spend our free time together. With a little discipline, television can be a fun family treat without letting it take over our lives!篇5The Boob Tube's Effect on My FamilyTV is a huge part of my life and my family's life. We watch it all the time! Sometimes it feels like the TV is another member of the family. It's always there in the living room, telling us stories and showing us amazing things happening all over the world.My parents say too much TV isn't good for kids. They're always nagging me and my little brother to turn it off and go play outside or read a book. But TV is so entertaining! There are cool cartoons, funny sitcoms, intense sports games, and exciting movies. It's hard to pull myself away.I can understand why my mom and dad worry though. When the TV is on, our family doesn't talk or do things together asmuch. We kind of just zone out in front of the screen. My dad calls it getting "zombified" by TV. He says it rots our brains!TV can also be kind of mean sometimes. The commercials are always trying to get us to want things - new toys, junk food, video games. They make everything look so cool and fun. Then I end up begging my parents for that stuff until they get frustrated with me.The shows don't always set a good example either. Characters on TV can be rude, make fun of others, disobey parents, and get into fights pretty often. I've tried copying what I see on TV before and gotten in trouble. Mom and Dad don't think those are good influences.On the other hand, TV has helped me learn lots of things! The nature documentaries are fascinating. I know all about lions, sharks, volcanoes and black holes thanks to the Discovery Channel. And TV helped me learn about important things that happened before I was born, like World War 2 and the Civil Rights Movement.I've also discovered new hobbies and interests from television. I got really into martial arts after watching kung-fu movies. I joined a karate class and now it's one of my favoriteactivities. TV inspired me to take up painting too after watching a show about Picasso.TV can bring our family together sometimes as well. We have family movie nights every Friday where we all crowd around the TV with snacks and drinks. Getting lost in an adventure film for a couple hours is a nice way to spend quality time without digital devices separating us.We also like watching big sporting events as a family. It's fun to cheer together and bond over being fans of the same team. Although we do get pretty loud and competitive when our teams are playing each other! The living room becomes a battleground with everyone shouting at the TV.Overall, I think TV has its pros and cons for families. It can definitely drive us apart and be an unhealthy obsession if we're not careful. Too much "zombie time" isn't good. But in moderation, TV gives us entertaining ways to learn, share experiences, and come together as a family. It's all about finding that balance and making sure we don't let the TV control our lives too much.The most important thing is that we make time to put down the remote, turn off the boob tube, and actually talk and listen to each other. Whether it's at the dinner table, on a walk outside, orduring a family games night, we need those technology-free times to re-connect. As long as we can do that, I think the TV can be a fun addition to family life without causing too much zombie brain rot!篇6The Impact of Television on FamiliesHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm in the 5th grade. Today I want to talk to you about how television affects families like mine. TV plays a really big role in my household and I've noticed it can have both positive and negative impacts.Let me start with some of the good things about TV. One major benefit is that it can bring families together to spend quality time. Every Friday night, my mom, dad, brother and I curl up on the couch to watch a movie together. We make popcorn, snuggle under blankets, and laugh at the funny parts. It's a nice tradition that gets us all in the same room instead of being separated in our bedrooms or other parts of the house. TV gives us something to bond over and opportunities to make shared memories.Another positive is that TV can be educational, especially for kids. There are so many great shows and channels dedicated toteaching things like science, history, reading, and math in a fun, engaging way. My favorite is the animal planet because I get to learn all about incredible wildlife while being entertained by cute and fascinating creatures. Without educational TV, learning could be a lot more boring.TV can also expose families to new cultures, places and ideas that we may not encounter in our everyday lives. By watching shows set in different countries or time periods, I've expanded my understanding of how people live across the globe. It motivates me to read more books and ask questions to keep learning. TV pushes our minds to imagine new perspectives.However, as great as TV can be, there are also some negative ways it impacts families if it's not viewed in moderation. The biggest issue is that too much TV viewing can substitutetelevision for quality family interaction and communication. Instead of talking and playing together, we can get sucked into just sitting on the couch channel surfing for hours.Too much TV can also promote laziness and inactivity for kids. Instead of running around outside getting exercise, we prefer to lounge around watching our favorite shows. Childhoodobesity has become a major problem and TV likely contributes by making us couch potatoes.Also, many shows today contain inappropriate content like bad language, violence, and exploration of mature topics that aren't suitable for young viewers. My little brother sometimes sees things on TV that he can't fully understand yet and it confuses him. Excessive TV exposure can prevent kids from having a healthy, innocent childhood.Furthermore, many families struggle with prioritizing and limiting TV time. The pull of the screen can be hard to resist, causing us to neglect other important things like homework, household chores, and bedtimes. My parents are always telling me and my brother that we've watched enough TV for the day.In my opinion, the healthiest solution is to set clear rules about TV viewing. In my house, we're only allowed a certain amount of hours per day and week. We also have dedicatedno-TV times during meals and after a set hour at night to ensure we get good sleep schedules. My parents also do research to find high-quality, age-appropriate shows for us rather than just letting us watch anything.Overall, TV can be a wonderful shared experience and educational tool for families, but it's crucial that it doesn't takeover our lives. By setting boundaries and being intentional about our viewing, we're able to enjoy TV's benefits while minimizing its potential negatives. It's all about balance!Those are my thoughts on how television impacts families based on my experiences as a kid. I'd love to hear other perspectives too! TV is a big part of our world and it's important to be aware of how we engage with it. What do you think? Let me know!。

health and work英语作文
If there were a list of the most popular topics in people's daily lives, work and health must be within the top ten. In China, at reunion dinners or parties, asking about one's work and health condition is a common approach to breaking ice.After all, job and health largely affect one's happiness. Without a decent, well-paying job, people cannot afford to travel abroad, send children to study abroad, or buy parents health care. Likewise, without a good health condition, people are unlikely to enjoy what they have earned through hard work.When conflict occurs between climbing the career ladder and maintaining health, many, however, choose the former. That is why we see a number of 20-year-olds work until night or even through the night. Sometimes, we also notice that some young employee attending parties decide to leave early after receiving a call from employers who need them at the office immediately.From my point of view, health is no less important than work;a man with poor health can hardly finish his work, yetanother man with good health can always find a job as long as he tries.。
