W: A great day, isn’t it?

W: After midnight! Did you watch so late becau you were bored? I usually watch TV only if I have nothing better to do. M: Bored? No, I was upt becau I left my meal tickets in the cafeteria.
W: That is worth more than fifty dollars. So, did watching TV make you feel better?
M: A bit. But after I turned the TV off, I just disliked mylf for wasting so much time.
W: I’ve had that feeling before.
M: I had intended to watch just one program, but somehow I couldn’t make mylf switch off the TV.

brain that process complex information, but that part becomes less active while people are watching TV.
M: That’s certainly how I felt last night –like my brain wasn’t very active.
W: That’s not the worst of it. If you watch TV a lot, or for a long time, that pa rt of the brain – the part that process complex information, shows lowered activity and you become more and more passive.

Questions 18 through 20 are bad on the following passage.
There are between 3000 and 6000 public languages in the world, and we must add approximately 6 billion private languages since each one of us necessarily has one. Considering the facts, the possibilities for breakdowns in communication em infinite in number. However, we do communicate successfully from time to time. And we do learn to speak languages. But learning to speak languages ems to be a very mysterious process. For a long time, people thought that we learned a language only by imitation and association. For example, a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry. The mother says, “Hot, hot!” And the baby, when it st ops crying, imitates the mother and says, “Hot, hot!” However, Noam Chomsky, a famous expert in language, pointed out that although children do learn some words by imitation and association, they also combine words to ma
ke meaningful ntences in ways that are unique, unlearned and creative. Becau young children can make ntences they have never heard before, Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with the ability to learn language.
Chomsky meant that underneath all the differences between public and private languages, there is a universal language mechanism that makes it possible for us, as infants, to learn any
language in the world. But it does not really explain how children come to u language in particular ways.标志图片大全
