(23-26)Parents too weak-willed, indulgent or exhausted to insist
that their children turn off the television can take hope from
a new gadget introduced in the United States. TV
Allowance is an electronic disciplinarian that permits each
member of the family a specific amount of viewing time and
turns off the set when it runs out. The machine was invented
by an amateur scientist from Florida who said that his
family life was being destroyed by battles with his children
over the amount of time they spent in front of the box. The
principle is simple: every member of the family is allotted an
individual code which must be punched into the machine to
turn the television on; each minute watched deducts a
minute from that person’s viewing allocation. The inventor,
Randal Levenson, said that the machine teaches the young
self-discipline and discrimination and, moreover, instills the
essentials of capitalism since children can save their viewing
time, barter it with each other or team up to maximize their
resources.

23. According to the text, all the statements are TRUE
EXCEPT:
A) Each member of the family has their own individual
number to type in.
B) The inventor, Randal Levenson, is a professional scientist.
C) By the device children can learn fundamentals of
capitalism.
D) Mr Levenson used to shout at his children a lot.



24. What was Randal Levenson’s main purpose of inventing the
machine?
A) To economize electricity with the help of this gadget.
B) To prevent his family from frequent quarrels.

D) To introduce a new gadget and rise to fame.



25. How does the author describe the machine in the passage?
A) electronic disciplinarian
B) specific amount of viewing time
C) person’s viewing allocation
D) team up to maximize recourses



26. According to the principle of TV Allowance, when your
viewing time is over. . .
A) you have to delete your allocation.
B) your parents do not let you watch TV.
C) your television set switches off.
D) you must punch your code.

(27-30) In current times, it is known that lightning has a very
scientific cause. Generally, within a storm cloud, friction
from water and ice-laden clouds creates a negative charge at
the bottom of the cloud. When that charge grows too great
for the air to hold it back, it is united with a positive charge
from the Earth, creating a channel of electricity that flows
between the two points. The charge remains invisible as it
moves towards the ground until it meets the charge rising
from the ground. Once they meet, a fifty thousand degree
current superheats the air around the channel resulting in an
explosion of sound known as thunder. In fact, very recently
it has been discovered that occasionally the positive charges
appear at the bottom of the cloud, which are then met by
negative charges from earth.

lightning
