Passage 3

How should gifted children be identified? Parents may not be able to identify gifted children; they do not have sufficient basis for comparison. Their observations may be distorted by their ambitions. However, they may be able to furnish details about the child’s early development that indicate to the discerning teacher or psychologist the presence of superior ability. Teachers who are familiar with the characteristics of gifted children and who have a chance to observe children in an informal and challenging environment can give evidence that it is valuable in identifying the gifted. Teachers have opportunity to observe how skillfully children use language, how quickly they see relations, how sensitive they are to things in their environment, how readily they learn, how easily they remember. Moreover, gifted children usually show outstanding resourcefulness and imagination, sustained attention and wide interests. Classroom and playground also offer opportunities to identify children who get exceptional well with others and handle frustrating situations with exceptional maturity. It is most rewarding to study children’s interaction in groups.

However, teachers have been given little help in using these opportunities to identify and educate the socially gifted. Like parental observation, teachers’ observation also has its pitfalls. Some teachers have a tendency to overrate the abilities of docile, obedient, cautious children. Others fail to recognize potential giftedness that is suppressed by emotional conflicts or by boredom with dull, routine teacher.

Passage 4

Game Shows 
    One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the “best seller” lists with a sale of fewer than 100，000 copies， but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight. This is the principle behind “quiz” or “game” shows，which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star，and it can give away thousands of dollars in the U.S. and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren，an English instructor， became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the show’s producers who were pulling the strings，gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why？ Because if the audience didn’t like the person who won the game，they turned the show off. The result of this cheating was a huge scandal. Based on his story，a movie under the title “Quiz Show” is on 40 years later. Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here，though they aren’t taken as seriously. In fact，some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together，or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV，or that punish losers by humiliation them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money，but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.

A. Right                     B. Wrong                    C. Not mentioned

49、Nowadays game shows are not treated as seriously as they used to be.
A. Right                   B. Wrong                  C. Not mentioned
