The day began like any other on Goldshore Beach. People were walking, running or simply sitting on the sandy beach, enjoying the warm sea air     1    and the soft wind that brushed their hair. Sabrina was one of the happy tourists     2    until she noticed something odd. “The water was like the bubbles on the top of a beer.” she later explained. “It wasn’t calm and it wasn’t going in and then out. It was just coming in and in and in.” Sabrina had just learnt about tsunamis in a Geography lesson． 她立刻想到了这一点     3    that these were signs of an approaching tsunami.

Sabrina was frightened，but she soon kept her head.她警告她的父母有危险,     4     though at first they just thought she was joking. However, Sabrina was certain that a terrible disaster was on its way     5    and kept asking her parents to talk to a safety officer, To her great relief, the officer immediately realized the coming danger. The beach was rapidly cleared of people, just before the huge waves crashed into the coast.

    1     Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.

One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders.Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.

A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand,found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.     2     但研究结果并不能证明电视是其原因 and don’t rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人) may watch lots of TV.

    3     Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2½ hours for those who had no education beyond high school.

In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest,     4     而那些没有卧室电视但有家用电脑的人得分最高。

While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores,     5     it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms.

The Internet brings us many advantages.

    1     有了互联网，人们就可以收发电子邮件了。On the Internet, people can skim over news.Using the Telnet, the user anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine on which he has an account. It is possible to use the FTP programme to copy files from one machine on the Internet to another.

    2     But the Internet also brings us troubles.

Internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological(心理的) health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.    3     Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less often, the two-year study showed. And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually seemed to cause the bad feelings.

    4     Researchers are puzzled over the results, which were completely opposite to what they had expected. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.

The fact that Internet use reduces time used for family and friends may be the reason for the drop in health, researchers said. Faceless, bodiless “virtual(虚拟的)” communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations, and the relationships formed through it may not be so deep.    5     另一种可能性是，通过网络接触到更广泛的世界会让用户对自己的生活不太满意。
