I’d appreciate it if you could spare some time to look through your essay for possible mistakes and polish them. Also,I’m looking forward to your valuable advices. My essay has been sending to you along with this email. I hope it won’t cause you very much more trouble.

Daniel Anderson,a famous psychologist,believes it's important to distinguish television's influences on children from those of the family.We tend to blame TV,he says,for problems it doesn't really cause,overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world.While watching TV,children do not merely absorb words and images (影像).Instead,they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.Actually,children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows.Furthermore,as many teachers agree,children understand far more when parents watch TV with them,explaining new words and ideas.Yet,most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment.But according to Anderson,the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability.TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children;it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation,such as listening to the radio and playing sports.Things like parents' educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading.“A child's reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads,”Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy televisionwatching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance.But here,too,Anderson notes that no studies have proved it.In fact,research suggests that it's the other way around.“If you're smart young,you'll watch less TV when you're older,”Anderson says.Yet,people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children.However,by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed,Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.
1.By watching TV,children learn ________.
A. images through words
B. more than explicit meanings
C. more about images than words
D. little about people's psychology
2.An educational program is best watched by a child ________.
A. on his own B. with other kids
C. with his parents D. with his teachers
3.Which of the following is most related to children's reading ability?
A. Radiolistening.
B. Televisionwatching.
C. Parents' reading list.
D. Parents' educational background.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advise on the educational use of TV.
B. To describe TV's harmful effects on children.
C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.
D. To present Anderson's unconventional ideas.
Barcelona’s famous Segrada Familia is finally set to get a building license to work on the still uncompleted church.
This UNESCO World Heritage basilica(长方形基督教堂),which is Barcelona’s most visited tourist attraction,began building in 1882 based on a design by architect Francisco Lozano. However,when he stepped down,architect Antoni Gaudi took over the design in 1883.The building won’t be finished until 2026—one hundred years after the architect was killed by a streetcar in the city. His body was buried in a room under the floor of the Sagrada Familia.
To get its paperwork rubber stamped,the church authorities have agreed to finally pay the government a 36 million fee for a building permit. Gaudi was told to get the paperwork processed,but the architect failed to do so—proceeding with construction. The money from the church’s permit will be used to upgrade transport links and beautify the area.
Gaudi played an active role in directing the construction of the Sagrada Familia until his death in 1926.He would often request that work be modified and adjusted until it was exactly what he had in mind. However, interpretation of the designs by present day architects is particularly challenging because of the nature of the existing designs.
Gaudi and his works have become symbols of Barcelona,the capital city of Catalonia,northeast Spain. The unfinished building is called a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and it is perhaps the most unique and mysterious building in the style ever constructed. The popularity of the site with tourists has helped fund the push to complete the church and pay for the paperwork.
1.What do we know about the Segrada Familia?
A.It has been completely constructed. B.It was first designed by Antoni Gaudi.
C.It will get a building permit in 2026. D.It began to be built 138 years ago.
2.What can we infer about Antoni Gaudi?
A.He wished to be buried in the church. B.He is remembered as a great architect.
C.He didn’t know a permit was necessary. D.He is to blame for the unfinished church.
3.What makes the Segrada Familia so popular?
A.Its unusual design style. B.Its two famous architects.
C.Its special building materials. D.Its illegal construction paperwork.
4.The church managed to pay for the license _________.
A.in the support of the government B.by reducing construction costs
C.with the aid of tourist income D.through donations from architects
