第4题【单选题】
I found in my baby’s behaviour a metaphor for the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine,but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him,he did
not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don’t read, that they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion: let them watch it. If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight it? Let them watch it all they want!From the passage we know that the author is_____.

第8题【单选题】
Physiologically, we are rhythmical. We must eat, sleep, breathe, and play regularly to maintain good health.
