A study by researchers at the University of Washington supports the idea of a connection between TV viewing and attention problems. According to the researchers, a three-year-old child who 16 two hours of TV per day is 20% more likely to have attention problems 17 age seven than a child who watches no television.

Qiu Zhizhen, an 81-year-old woman, lives in Cangzhou, Hebei Province. She puts on two live shows every day under the name of Chao Laotai.
In the shows, she talks about her daily life, childhood, and tells young people what they should do when they are in trouble.
“They like to hear what things were like back in the 1950s, such as how I fell in love with my husband,” Qiu said. She told them she and her husband got married in 1957. Before that they just met once.
Stories like that attracted (吸引) many young people who found them interesting and unbelievable. Now Qiu has nearly 240,000 fans, and most of them were born in the 1990s.
Qiu said she learned how to make live shows from her granddaughter. “I saw her making live shows with her mobile phone when she came home last May Day holiday. I found it new and interesting, and then asked her to download an app for me on my iPad,” she said.
She watched and learned, and about 10 days later, she put on her own live show. After that she fell in love with live shows. Qiu said she had fun talking with young people. “They made me feel young and energetic,” Qiu said.
Liu Hong, Qiu's daughter, said Qiu kept her mind young by making the videos. “Our family will support her to do that as long as she is happy,” Liu said.
Another thing that makes Qiu proud is that many of her old friends started to learn from her about how to make live shows. Qiu said retired (已退休的) people should start a new life the day they leave work.

Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) is a popular British television talent show competition which started in 2007. Classical pianist Tokio Myers was crowned (加冕) the new winner of Britain’s Got Talent (series 11). However, the second prize winner Issy Simpson, an 8-year-old child magician, has won the hearts of a lot of people in the UK.
Issy Simpson was born on November 10, 2009 in Blackpool, the UK. Her grandpa Russ Stevens was a professional magician. In fact it was Russ who got Issy interested in doing magic one year ago after buying her a Marvin’s Magic set and helped her improve her skills. “I’m a Harry Potter fan, and I often watch Grandpa, who is my idol (偶像), do tricks as well,” the little magician talked about where she got inspiration for her magic tricks.
Although Issy said she was a bit nervous about performing in front of the star judges (评委) and a large audience, she succeeded in impressing them with her perfect magic tricks on BGT Episode 2. At first, she wowed (博得……称赞) the audience when she easily lifted the seemingly empty box that even two male judges were unable to leave off the table. After correctly predicting that another judge would choose the word “kettle” from a random selection, Issy asked the head judge Simon Cowell to pick a card at random from a set of playing cards. Then she returned to the stage and asked what his choice was before turning round to show her T-shirt decorated with Cowell’s face and the correct card he’d chosen. “This is like real-life Harry Potter,” said Cowell excitedly. Another judge added, “You’re eight years old. You put a lot of grown-up magicians to shame.”
After unsurprisingly getting four yeses from the judges, the girl made it all the way to the final thanks to her amazing magic.
Issy Simpson, a child magician
Britain’s Got Talent ★BGT is (59) for Britain’s Got Talent. ★BGT 2017 is the (60) series of the popular TV talent show. ★There are usually (61) star judge(s) in the talent show. ★Classical pianist Tokio Myers (62) this year’s Britain’s Got Talent at last.
Issy Simpson ★Though the little girl finished (63) in the final of the talent show, she won the hearts of many British people. ★Her grandpa Russ Stevens who used to be a magician helped her find her (64) in doing magic. ★According to Issy, she was inspired by her grandpa who she (65) very much. ★While performing, she wowed the judges and audience when she made the seemingly empty box too (66) for two male judges to lift. ★In the judges’ eyes, she was (67) Harry Potter, and because of her amazing magic tricks, she makes many grown-up magicians take (68) on themselves.

Would you like to go back in time and discover what life used to be like over a hundred years ago Well, that was the subject of a TV programme in the USA. It was called Frontier House. Three American families were chosen to live in the hills of Montana for five months.
Each family was given their own land and they lived there from June to October. They followed the same way of life as their ancestors (祖先) over a hundred years ago in the Wild West. They could only use the tools and technology of that time. They learnt many new skills. They became farmers, looking after animals and growing food to eat. They made butter and caught fish.
There was no electricity, so at night they had oil lamps. There was no television and no radio so they read the Bible and talked in the evening. They collected wood to do their cooking and to heat their water. They wore the same kind of clothes that people in the 1880s used to wear. Of course, there were no washing machines in those days so they washed all their clothes by hand. When they needed to buy things, they went ten miles to the store with their horse and wagon (四轮马车). The journey took eight hours.
All the families said that they missed their friends, because they couldn’t take their mobile phones or their computers with them and they could only write letters. But everyone said they loved their “new” life and they were all sorry to leave.

Dear Michael,
Thanks for your letter. You said you want to learn about my TV viewing habits. Now, I’m happy to tell you.
I like watching chat shows very much, especially Happy Camp. It’s my favourite. This TV programme is recorded first and sent out later. Every week a number of stars are invited to the programme. I spend two hours watching TV every day. However, my parents think watching TV is just a waste of time. Instead, they always ask me to work hard at my lessons. I think watching too much TV is bad for our health and study. But sometimes we do need to relax and some TV programmes can teach us
many things.
Do you agree with me Please write to me soon.
Yours,
Li Ming

Though Brent’s 18 may have been considered common, he was from it. He didn’t 19 easily. If he failed a spelling test midweek, by Friday, he would 20 .

Unlike the other students who would often try to be“ 22 ”than others, Brent’s only competitor was himself, and his goal (目标) for the whole year was the AB Honour Roll.
With each report card, his face had fallen when he’d 23 that high average, and although he’d never made the honour roll, he’d never stopped trying to reach that 24 . Now, he had one last try. I entered his final grades into the computer and calculated. It was a B! I 25 again. Yes, it was a B.
His grades had gone up and down. When he focused on (致力于) one subject, another slipped a bit. On the whole, he had a B average. Now, I couldn’t 26 Awards Day!

Caroline Benson talks about her first TV role.
“I never expected to spend some of my first year at university acting in The Finnegans. I’d loved The Finnegans book since I was eleven. My grandmother used to say I was just like Polly Finnegan and I always imagined myself playing her.
“While I was travelling in Chile, my mother emailed me to say there were plans to turn the book into a TV drama. I knew I had to go for the part. My mother sent my photograph to the director and persuaded (说服) him to meet me. I flew back and got the part.
“The outdoor filming started a week after the beginning of term, so I had to ask for permission (许可) from the university to be away for three weeks. After I was back at university, I got up at 6:00 a.m. to write the essays (文章) I’d missed. I didn’t tell my university friends anything about the filming, but they found it out and admired me so much.
“It was an amazing experience — I’m so lucky. After university, I want to be an actress. I’m not from an acting family, though my grandfather was an opera singer. I’ve tried for other TV parts but haven’t received any offers yet.
“I don’t know how I managed it all, because I had a full social life too. When acting finished, I hardly knew what to do. Since then, I’ve appeared in two college plays. Unluckily, I haven’t been home much and now my first year at university is over. I’m off to Greece for the summer with friends.”

Mariah Nablo is a sixteen-year-old girl. When she was six, she watched a TV show. It talked about problems faced by mountain gorillas (山地大猩猩) in
Africa. She learned that they were endangered because their living space was losing. The cause of this trouble was people illegally mining ( 非法采矿) for Coltan, a material used to make mobile phones. Mariah was so shocked by what she learned that she wanted to do something about it. But what
