Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand. Once called the Garden of Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to e over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people, Hilversum is all about textile (纺织) and media industries, and modern architecture.In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area. Daily life was marked by farming, sheep raising and wool production. A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They build themselves large villas (别墅) in the wooded surroundings of the town. One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers, currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands. They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum. But the textile boom lasted only several decades. The last factory closed in the 1960s.The change to a media economy started in 1920, when the Nederlandse Seintoestedllen Fabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hiversum. Most radio stations called in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town. Television gave another push to the local economy. Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands, and Dutch televison stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.In the early 1900s, modern architcts W.M. Dudok and J. Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces (杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings in 1928-1931. It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks. The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a bination of “blocks”. Actually, one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W.M. Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.21.Hilversum is different from most of the Netherlands in that _.A. it has a large populationB. it is cut off from big citiesC. it has many beautiful gardensD. it is in a hilly area with sandy soil22.What was the greatest contribution of the Brenninkmeijers to Hilversum?A.

So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown.

He was determined that none of his children would be denied an education.Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some ment, always to the point.

Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one anothers education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher /1 studied with some of the most famous educators.

Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, where they had to spend 72 hours with their children. The program fully showed us a modern version of how to be a good father. As the young parents today are too busy to look after their children, this new form of Lost on the way played by nanny (保姆) Daddy and cute kids caused a lot of peoples emotional resonance (共鸣). Both the kids and their parents will find their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.The TV shows like Children are hard to support!, Where are we going, Dad?, hot mom and cute kids are being more and more popular. All of these show the new parents confusion in childrens education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.In real life, on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to acpany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand they continue to do so. The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34. We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing puter games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the pany of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The participation of mother in the childrens education is also very low.It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that Where are we going. Dad? shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teachers. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV program: could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.34.From the first 2 paragraphs, we can know that_.A. the popularity of TV shows is due to the famous starsB. the TV program makes many strange villages well-knownC. there is no barrier between the fathers and kids in the showD. young parents usually dont know how to balance career and family35.Which of the following statements is true?A. Parents are too busy to acpany their children.B. Most of HNTVs audience are young ladies.C. In modern families, kids are usually taken care of by their mothers.D.

Children will determine the future of society.C. Society has a big influence on the growth of children.D. Children are usually self-willed (任性的).37.The best title for the passage is_.A. A TV Show, A Big Hit B. Kids Are Hard to SupportC. How to Raise Children D.
