t fun to take photos, and even more fun to show slides of the trip to friends and relatives when they e back home. There’s Aunt Sarah, smiling in front of Buckingham Palace。 Aunt Sarah, smiling under the Eiffel Tower。 and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Veian Canal. Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like。 they also know what Europe’s great landmarks (顯著地面景觀 ) look like. But a young man named David, just back from a trip to Greece, asked a few friends over to see his slides. The young man had an artist’s eye. His pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead he took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their s, and bearded priests (牧師 ) bending over their Bibles. He captured (抓住 ) the color and character of the country. His friends were so interested that they asked for more. Any amateur (外行 ) can do the same. All he needs is a simple camera and a little sensitivity. When he learns that a nation lives in its people as well as in its landmarks, he moves from an amateur to an artist. ( )31. What does the underlined word “slide” mean?

Zach, a sixth grader in Washington, D. C., is an American. But unlike many kids, he doesn’t have a TV, VCR, or puter in his bedroom. He only has a boom box (手提錄音機(jī) ). The survey of 3,155 kids, aged 2 to 18, shows that they spend 5 hours and 29 minutes on average(平均的 ) a day using some types of media outside of school, including 2 hours and 46 minutes watching TV, 21 minutes on the puter, 20 minutes playing video games, and 8 minutes on the Inter. The good news: The total includes 44 minutes spent reading. The survey also shows that those aged 2 to 7 spend 3 hours and 9 minutes watching TV every day and shows that 32 percent in that age group have TV sets in their rooms. Among those aged 8 to 18, 21 percent have puters in their rooms, 65 percent have TV sets, and 61 percent say their parents don’t stop them from watching TV. Nearly 1 in 4 say they watch more than 5 hours a day.
