I will probably remember one June day seven years ago for the rest of my life. My father had been complaining that my brother and I were watching too much TV, but we ignored him. Then one day we came home and the television was gone.

When I asked my father about the missing TV, he said watching television was a waste of time. Without it, we would have time for other things.

I decided he was wrong. Is there life without TV? How can we spend the week without all those shows and soaps? I was sure my life would be boring without TV, I used my best debating skills to argue with him, but he would not give in.

However, I found other ways to spend my time finally, Each day I ran around the street. This reminded me of my love for athletics, which I still enjoy. I joined Volunteers, and I built lasting friendships. Most importantly, I discovered an artistic world I never knew. I started taking art contests, and was shocked when I won. Then I took piano lessons. I began to like listening to AM radio, reading news magazines.

Living without TV has taught me how to manage my time, so that I can do many things in one day. I am proud to have learned I don’t need television.

Looking back, I think my father did the right thing. “You are smart. You could do anything that you put your heart to.” he used to say. He believed in us. His actions showed me a much more colorful side of life without TV and the value of having a goal and sticking to it.

1.My father was angry and took the television away because _______.

A. we asked him to do so              

B. my brother and I did not need it

C. he needed some money       

D. my brother and I watched too much TV

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：南通高考密卷·英語(yǔ) 題型：050

　　閱讀理解：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)．

　　When I was about 11, I inherited(繼承)my older brother's paper route. It was a good job, though it meant waking up at the crack of dawn and hopping on my bike in Rockford, to deliver papers.

　　Punctuality was critical. People expected the paper on their front porch by 6 a. m. .If I ran late, they would be standing in their doorways and I would definitely hear about it. On the other hand, doing the job professionally often resulted in much appreciated tips.

　　Ever since, I have tried to do as professional a job as possible－whether it be bagging groceries, painting houses or tarring(用柏油覆蓋) roofs. Acting is not different. I believe if you work hard and behave like a pro, it will pay off, and you will be offered more and better roles.

　　This means giving your all. If a scene requires another character to react to my jumping into the water, I will jump in as many times as it takes to help him and the director get the shot. Several years ago, while filming a movie in the mountains of Brazil, my fellow actors and I all pitched in to help the crew move heavy equipment through rugged jungle.

　　Acting is a job like any other, and you can't let it go to your head. The things that made a difference delivering papers－being thorough, punctual, doing your best－also count on the movie set. And I still have to wake up at the crack of dawn.

B．The author has done a lot of jobs, such as bagging.

C．Better work and behavior will result in better pay and better roles.

D．As an actor, he doesn't have to help others.

4．The author used the sentence “Acting is a job like any other, and you can't let it go to your head.” to mean ________.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)cting is a good job and you should not give up the position

B．a(chǎn)cting is a common job like others and you should not be arrogant(驕傲自大的)

D．a(chǎn)cting is a good job and you should work hard anyway

5．Which of the following would be the best title?
