After many years of marriage ,a husband，who has turned into a couch potato，became completely tired of his wife and sat drinking beer and watching TV all day．The wife was quite unhappy because no matter what she did to attract the husband's attention ,he’d just pay no attention to her．
This went on for many months and the wife was going crazy with boredom(无聊)．Then one day at a pet store，the wife saw a big ,ugly ,,snorting(会发出声音的)bird．

Again the Goony bird turned to the shelf and destroyed it in seconds．
“Wow! ”said the wife，“if this doesn't attract my husband’s attention，nothing will! ”SO she bought the bird and took it home．
When she entered the house ,the husband ,as usual，lay on the sofa drinking beer and watching the game．“Honey!”she shouted,“I’ve got a surprise for you !A Goony bird”

Reality TV(真人秀节目)began in the early 1980s,when a Japanese television company made a series(系列)of programs called Endurance．Starting with the thousands of contestants(参赛者)in the first Show ,the program presenters made them do really difficult and／or unpleasant things every time．Many people watched the program．
1n Survivor ,sixteen people are taken to a far-away island and made to stay there for more than a month．They have to find their own food or go hungry．The producers allow the contestants to take one personal thing each．Every three days，one contestant must leave the island and the last person wins one million pounds．
1t’s not just adults who take part in these shows．A television series in Britain in 2003，called That’ll teach’em, took 30 school children and put them in all imaginary King’s school，where they lived for one month and received 1950s school uniforms(including a school hat)during the hot summer and they had to do a long run every day．“They made us have cold showers and we had to have our hands checked every day t0 see if they were clean，”says one pupil．“We weren’t allowed
to take anything from our modern lives into the school. ”Although there was no prize money in this program，the pupils learned a lot from the experience．
In 2004，there was a program called Sleepless Week ,in which contestants were not allowed to sleep for seven days to try to win 97，000 pounds of prize in money．
But where will it stop ?Programs like this are shown all over the world．But there are people who think that these programs degrade(有辱)both the contestants and people who watch them and feel that contestants are often made to do dangerous things to make good television.

What would you call the place where cooking is done on board a ship ? A kitchen? Well，not exactly．A kitchen on a ship is called a galley．And if you were writing a story that takes place on the high seas，you would want to use the right words to make your story authentic(真实的)．
As a writer ,you are often searching for words that will say exactly what you mean．Sometimes these words are familiar and the search is easy．But when you have trouble finding just the right word ,what can you do?
A Thesaurus is a dictionary of synonyms(同义词)．It is a tool that provides writers with a choice of several words with the same basic meaning．But among the choices there are shades of meaning that make some words different in some ways．These differences in meaning make some words better choices than others．
A Thesaurus can help you to remember words．When you know the right word but can’t quite remember what it is—when it is on the tip of your tongue—a Thesaurus can help you find the right word at a glance．
Sometimes，you know what you want to say but don’t know the word that will say it best．So you use a Thesaurus to find out the various possibilities．In these cases ,you will need to use a dictionary to make sure that the words in the Thesaurus really mean what you think they mean．
Remember that a Thesaurus can help you to be precise(精确you're your writing ,but only if you use it carefully．It will introduce you to new and interesting words ,but they won’t always be the right words you're searching for．
49.One difficulty people usually have when they write is that they .
A．can’t find the right words to express themselves
B．don’t have enough familiar words to use
C．worry about the authenticity of the story
D．have trouble finding a good dictionary
50．According to the text ,a Thesaurus will provide us with .
A．examples of word use
B．words about ships on the sea
C．groups of words close in meaning
D. words that are easy to remember
5I．The author of the text tells us that words given by a Thesaurus will not always be the word .
A．we all understand B．we are looking for
C．We have used before D．we use in everyday life
52．The best title for the text would be .
A．The Meaning of Words B．Types of Dictionaries
C．Using a Thesaurus D．Different Ways of Writing
D
In 1992，the mother of a North Atlantic right whale(露脊鲸)was hit and killed by a ship． Researchers studying these whales named her eight-month-old baby Calvin．
A proposed government rule would require ships to slow down in areas where right whales are known to swim．“Our findings suggest that whales hear ships but not in time to get out of the way,” says Amy Knowlton ,a research scientist“This is rule will help so much．Even a few seconds can make a huge difference. ”
It isn't easy to move out of the way fast when you are bigger than a school bus．Grown-up right whales can be 40 to 50 feet long and weigh 200，000 pounds．Babies ,called calves ,are never small .They are born weighing about 2，000 pounds and are about 13 feet long．
Whales may seem strong．Knowlton describes their skin as hard like a rubber car tire．“But the steel propeller(桨)on a boat is like a sharp knife，”says Knowlton．The force of a ship hitting a Whale causes serious injuries(伤害)．
