While sme dictinaries define the wrd “right” as “a privilege” when used in the cntext f “human rights”, we are talking abut smething mre basic. Originally, peple had rights nly because f their membership in a grup, such as a family. Then, in 539 BC, Cyrus the Great, after cnquering the city f Babyln, did smething ttally unexpected—he set all slaves free and let them return hme. Mrever, he declared peple shuld chse their wn religin. Cyrus’ statements are abut the first “human rights” declaratin in histry.
Every persn has certain basic rights, simply by the fact f being human. These are called “human rights” rather than a privilege, which can be taken away at smene’s sudden desire. They are “rights” because they are things yu are allwed t be, t d r t have. These rights are there fr yur prtectin against peple wh might want t harm r hurt yu. They are als there t help us get alng with each ther and live in peace.
Yet many peple, when asked t name their rights, will list nly freedm f speech and belief and perhaps ne r tw thers. There is n questin that these are imprtant rights, but the full scpe f human rights is very brad. They mean chice and pprtunity. They mean the freedm t get a jb, adpt a career, select a partner f ne’s chice and raise children. They include the right t travel widely and the right t wrk withut truble, abuse and threat f arbitrary (霸道) dismissal. They even embrace the right t leisure.
In ages past, there were n human rights. Then the idea turned up that peple shuld have certain freedms. And that idea, in the wake f Wrld War II, resulted finally in the dcument called the Universal Declaratin f Human Rights and the thirty rights t which all peple are entitled.

A few mnths befre I was brn, my Dad met a stranger wh was new t ur small twn. Frm the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcmer and sn invited him t live with ur family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was arund t welcme me int the wrld a few mnths later.
As I grew up, I never questined his place in my family. In my yung mind, he had a special psitin. My parents were cmplementary instructrs：Mm taught me the wrds, and Dad taught me t bey them. But the stranger... He was ur stryteller. He wuld keep us spellbund fr hurs n end with adventures, mysteries and cmedies.
If I wanted t knw anything abut plitics，histry r science，he always knew the answers abut the past, understd the present and even seemed able t predict the future! He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stpped talking, but Dad didn't seem t mind.
I nw knw that my early cncepts abut relatinship were influenced strngly by the stranger. Time after time, he ppsed the values f my parents, yet he was seldm NEVER asked t leave.
Mre than fifty years have passed since the stranger mved in with ur family. He has blended right in and is nt nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if yu were t walk int my parent's rm tday, yu wuld still find him sitting ver in his crner, waiting fr smene t listen t him talk and watch him draw his pictures. His name?
We just call him...“TV”．
He has a yunger sister nw. We call her“Cmputer”．
作者以生动形象的拟人手法描述了电视对自己的影响。
5．When the stranger came t live with ur family, he was ________.
A. ingnred by the children B. driven away fr n reasn
C. abandned because it was t nisy D. accepted by every family member
答案：D。事实细节题。由首段尾句可知答案。
6．The stranger can d all the fllwing things EXCEPT that he can ________.
A. tell us sme funny stries B. reject ur prpsals
C. influence the children's character D. predict the future
答案：B。事实细节题。由第3段内容可知电视具有A、C、D项所说的功能，而不能“拒绝建议”，故按题意要求选B。
7．The underlined wrd“spellbund” in Paragraph 2 mst prbably means ________.
A. cncentrated B. puzzled
C. fascinated D. astnished
答案：C。词义猜测题。由第2段尾句语境“数小时连续地看冒险故事、神秘故事和喜剧”可知应是“沉迷于，对……着迷的”，故答案为C。倒数第3段第2句中的fascinating也是暗示。本题易误选A，但是如果注意一下后面的介词就可排除，因为cncentrate和n搭配。
8．What can we learn frm the last three paragraphs f the passage?
A. The cmputer is mre advanced and has gained greater ppularity.
B. Old as he is，we like the stranger best.
C. The TV set is ut f fashin and ften breaks dwn.
