A
A new study suggests that very young children who watch a lot of television may have attention problems later in school.
Children with attention problems cannot sit still or control their actions. They talk too much, lose things, forget easily and are not able to finish tasks.
People with
attention problems may suffer a condition known as Attention Deficit（缺乏） Disorder（紊亂）, or A.D.D. Experts say the
cause of A.D.D involves chemicals in the brain. Teachers say many children in

The new study
tested the idea that television watching by very young children is linked to
attention problems by the age of seven. It involved more than
one-thousand-three-hundred children. There were two groups of children, ages
one and three. Researchers at Children’s Hospital and
The children who watched a lot of television at an early age were most likely to have attention problems. Every hour of watching television increased the chances of having attention problems by about ten per cent.
The researchers say that all the children with attention problems might not have A.D.D. But they still could face major learning problems in school. The findings support advice by a group of children’s doctors that children under the age of two should not watch television.
One of the researchers said there are other reasons why children should not watch television. Earlier studies have linked it with children becoming too fat and too aggressive(likely to fight). Other experts say the new study is important, but more work needs to be done to prove the findings and better explain the cause and effect.

“Dutch” expressions heard in American English
were first used in the 17th century. That was a time of fierce
competition between
A Dutch agreement was one made between men who had drunk too much alcohol. Dutch leave was what a soldier took when he left his base without permission.
Some of these old expressions are still used today with a little different meaning. Long ago, a Dutch treat or to go Dutch was a dinner at which the invited guests were expected to pay for their own share of food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means that when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his own share.

Composition classes at George Mason teach writing as a process. Teachers there ask students to use writing not simply as a way of communicating a paper, for example, you may go through the processes of discovery, reading, revising, and editing.
Many teachers introduce their students to techniques which use writing to lead to thinking. Often, as thinkers, we don’t know (or remember) everything that we do really know. Writing helps us to discover what we know, and work out what we need to know. Teachers there may begin or end a class with a wring exercise or ask you to prepare to write a paper through a series of exercises.
You may suddenly meet free-writing, where you are asked to write your unedited thoughts on a particular topic, idea or experience for a fixed period. This technique can often help an essay or other work become more successful. Brainstorming is a more focused technique during which you consciously note all your ideas, questions, facts and figures about a topic. Some teachers may ask you to write poems or imagine your experiences as you change your place in time or space. In writing to learn, you discover your destination (your new ideas) as you write.
Most teachers ask students to read each other’s drafts in classroom workshop. Not all of your reviewers will agree about your paper. As a writer, you need to decide which suggestions would help you communicate your ideas most clearly.

A. most teachers ask students to read before writing
B. free-writing is a hard task in classroom
C. writing a paper through a series of exercises is the best way
D. writing is a process of discovery, creating and developing new ideas

It is often said that most Americans vote with their wallets, and so a voter’s guide to where the two presidential competitors stand on taxes certainly comes in handy.
Over the past four years, President Bush has twice signed laws reducing individual tax rates on income in all groups, and he has repeatedly called on Congress to make these tax cuts for long, saying failure to do so would have the same effect with a tax hike and threaten prospects for a strong economic recovery.
Congressional analysts say making the tax cuts for long would cost about $13 trillion over the next 10 years.
For his part, Sen.John
Kerry wants to continue Bush’s tax relief for lower and middle-income earners,
but he suggests canceling tax cuts for Americans earning more than $
A married couple with two children and an annual family income of $250,000 can expect to pay $1,300 more annually in taxes, according to a Deloitte Tax LLP analysis. The family’s saving under the existing tax law is $5,380, compared with tax rates that existed in 2000.
The same family, if it had a family income of $180,000, would see no change in their tax bill under Kerry’s tax plan according to Deloitte’s analysis.
“The battleground for the two (tax) plans is how Bush and Kerry treat families and individuals with income over $200,000,” said Clint Stetch, director of tax policy at Deloitte Tax LLP.
