Passage One



achievement,

the Department of Population

and Family Health Sciences at the Bloomberg School of Public Health.
① Amongthese
third

graders, we saw that even when controlling for the parent's education level,
the child's gender and the amount of media used per week, those who had bedroom TV sets scored

around 8 points lower on math and language arts tests and 7 points lower on reading tests. A home
computer showed the opposite

relationship-children

with access to a home computer had scores that
were around 6 points higher on the math and the language arts test and 4 points higher on the

reading test, controlling for the same variables.

The study followed a diverse group of third-grade students from six schools in northern California.
During the course of a school year, nearly 400 students and their parents were asked to report

on the types of media available in the home, including television,

videotapes, computers and video
games, as well as how often the child used them. The children's math, reading and language arts

skills were tested twice over the year using the Stanford Achievement Test.

Overall, children who had a television set in the bedroom but did not have a computer at home

scored the lowest, while students without TV in the bedroom but with access to a computer at home
scored the highest.

Students who gained a television in the bedroom over the course of the school
year scored lower in all areas than those who had their TV taken away during the same period.

The researchers did not find

a consistent

negative association between test scores and the amount
of television watched per week.

and parents are looking for ways to improve children's

standardized test scores. This
study suggests that something as logical and straightforward as taking TV sets out of kids'

bedrooms, or not putting them there in the first place, may be a solution,

of the study, Thomas N. Robinson, MD, MPH, an associate professor of pediatrics and medicine at

Stanford University and director of the Center for Healthy Weight at Lucile Packard Children's

Hospital at Stanford.

this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower test
scores, it adds to accumulating data that kids shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms. It also

suggests that investing in a home computer for a child to use may be an additional strategy to

help your child's test scores. The best combination was having both: no TV in the bedroom and

also a home computer to use.

colunms. It is sometimes placed among

job, and sometimes it appears among

looking for a job, either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.



your curriculum vitae or job history

success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of

unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (or job
history), with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right.

address, age and whether you have passed any examswas about the average level of advice offered

CET4知识点
to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for
openers, it was explained, and everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And
in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write
and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.
Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for.


① The
advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish

you from the rest.
It might
be the aggressive approach.
a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially
designed for the job interview.

② There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number of applicants with university
education
at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the
curriculum vitae.
