Dear Editor,
I am writing with regards to the article “Is the TV Dead?” that appeared in your newspaper on March 4th. The author said that with the rise of the Internet, the TV was becoming less and less important in our lives.
I find it very difficult to agree with this view (观点). The TV is still the main way most of us get our entertainment at home. It offers us the chance to see top musical artists, great films and documentaries and sometimes, thanks to important televised events, it has the power to bring the whole nation and all ages together in a way which the Internet never could.
Your article was especially critical (批判的) of the TV for the poor quality of programmes we now have. It is certainly true that many of the channels offer nothing more than repeats or low budget (预算) programmes. However, I would argue (辩论) that the most of content on the Internet is also of questionable quality. I agree that it is easy to keep up-to-date with the latest news on the Internet, but I’m sure most of us still enjoy sitting down to the News on TV in the evening just as much.
The writer is correct in saying that the Internet has become our major source (来源) for research and I think this is its main strength. However, criticizing (批评) the TV for not being as good is completely unfair. Information programmes like documentaries are made as entertainment not as research tools, and they will continue to be popular with viewers.
So I don’t think the writer should be so quick to write the TV off. Just the opposite, I think it has many more years left in it!
Yours sincerely,
Samantha Johnson
36. Why is Samantha writing this letter to the newspaper?
A. To make a complaint.
B. To offer a different view.
C. To encourage people to watch more TV.
D. To advise people to use the Internet less.
37. What is Samantha’s main view about TV?
A. TV is the major source for research.
B. TV is a way of getting entertainment.
C. TV is in trouble because of the Internet.
D. TV brings the whole nation and all ages together.
38. Which is the biggest problem with TV in Samantha’s view?
A. It can’t be used as a research tool.
B. It’s unpopular among young people.
C. It has few entertainment programmes.
D. The quality of some programmes is poor.
39. What does Samantha think is the best use of the Internet?
A. To buy products.
B. To have more fun.
C. To find information.
D. To get the latest news.
40. Which word can describe how Samantha feels about TV?
A. Satisfied.
B. Excited.
C. Stressed.
D. Worried.

Early people had no need for money. Each family group hunted for, found, or grew
what it needed. Then life became less simple. People traded goods and services. As e 66 as
9,000 years ago, people bought things with cattle (牲畜). Cattle became a way to measure
(衡量) something’s worth.
Later the Chinese may have been the f 67 to use metal for money. About 4,000 years ago, metal money was common in places outside China too. The value of a piece of metal depended on its w 68 , so scales (秤) were needed when things were bought. The small pieces of metal were formed in the shapes of money later on.
Three thousand years ago, g 69 and silver were used for money pieces. These metals were often s 70 into rings. People wore their money before they spent it. The g 71 made different coins for different values. The first known coins were round and flat and were made about 2,650 years ago in Turkey. Sailors brought these coins to Greece.
The Romans started using coins about 2,300 years ago. Their coins spread t 72 Europe, and their system of money was used throughout the Middle Ages, especially in England. The Middle Ages began about 1,500 years ago and l 73 until about 650 years ago. Many people think our coins today aren’t worth much. Their real value has gone d 74 , because coins are no longer made of silver or gold. But we s 75 use coins a lot. Every day in the US, enough quarters (二角五分的硬币) are used in coin-run games to cover more than ten football fields. That’s more than 70 million quarters every day.
