It is widely accepted that television is playing an important part in people's lives. But, there is a heated discussion as to whether television does good or harm.

Television keeps one learning more about present events, allows one to follow the most re­cent developments in politics and science, and offers various programs which are .both instructive and exciting. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one's room or house.

However, some people insist that television is bad rather than good. They argue that it has brought about many serious problems. The major one is its effects on young people. Children are now so used to getting their information and entertainment from television that their ability to read and write as well as physical ability has been greatly weakened. Even worse than that, vulgar( 庸俗的) advertisements and poor programs may develop their bad tastes, shape their view points badly towards human life to such a degree that their minds might be destroyed.

In a word, television has both advantages and disadvantages. Whatever effects it has, one point is certain, television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that decides its value to society.

Warner Brothers is an American company that produces movies and television shows. It started as a small family business operated by four brothers — Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack Warner. In nineteen-oh-three, the brothers began their business by traveling throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania showing movies using a projector (放映机). By nineteen-oh-seven, they opened a movie theater in New Castle, Pennsylvania. Within ten years, the Warner brothers started producing movies, and moved that part of the business to California.

One of the most widely accepted assumptions (假设) in our culture is that if you exercise, you will lose weight．I exercise all the time, but I still have got fat．Why does this happen?

More than 45 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1993．We spend some $19 billion a year on sports．Of course, some people join the health club but never go．Still, as one main study—the Minnesota Heart Survey—found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly．

However, the number of fat people has risen greatly: a third of Americans are fat, and another third count as overweight．Yes, it's highly possible that those of us who regularly go to the sports center would weigh even more if we exercised less．But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise, so I often eat more on the days I exercise than on the days I don't．Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?

People believe that "exercise is important for weight control" is actually rather new．Doctors used to advise not to exercise too much, particularly for older adults who might hurt themselves．Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise because people who regularly exercise are at a lower risk for most illnesses, especially heart problems．They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses, but the role of exercise in weight loss has been completely overestimated (评估过高)．

"In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless," says an exercise researcher．

1.From the passage we can learn that

A. more than 45 million Americans now go to the sports center regularly

B. the number of overweight people has doubled since 1993

C. some Americans join a health club but never go there

D. Americans waste too much money each year on sports

2.According to the writer, people might put on weight because ________．

A. they have the habit of going to the health club regularly

B. they eat the same food when they do not exercise

C. they exercise less than required by doctors

D. they eat more after they exercise

3.What may be the best title for this passage?

A. Overweight Is Not Good for Your Health

B. Exercise Won't Make You Thin

C. Health Club Is Part of American Lifestyle

D. Fatness Is a Social Problem in America
