阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　How would you like to teach yourself, rather than have teachers? According to the UK's Department of Education and Skills, students will teach themselves in the schools of the future. This means that there will be no more problems such as finding enough teachers.

　　Estelle Morris, the UK Education Secretary opened the 2002 Educational Technology Conference in London recently. She presented a video showing a computer-generated model of the school of tomorrow. Greater use of computer technology and classroom assistants will help students develop their own way of learning, Morris said. She added that this is a more exciting, as well as more interesting way of learning. At the same time, teachers will be “freed from their traditional role as the source of all knowledge.” Children of all abilities will “form the curriculum around their individual needs.” They will “learn in their own time, at their own speed and in their own environment”.

　　At home or at school, they will follow their learning programmes by looking at online libraries and watching lessons by world-class teachers and subject experts. Instead of going on field trips, students will use virtual reality. If they don't understand something, they can ask other students “take part in virtual communities with learners with similar needs. They will hand in their work electronically to be auto-market”.

　　The classroom of the future is fast becoming a reality. And the Department of Education will soon produce a guide to help schools adapt buildings for new technology. These ideas are based on the UK government's plan to create an education system that provides students to develop their individual skills at secondary school level.

　　Morris said that enabling students to follow study programmes to their own needs means that, in a class of 15-year-olds, some could be starting university learning while others were still learning to read and write.

　　A spokesman for the UK's National Association of Head Teachers said, “Nothing can change the fact that today's students need to be taught by a qualified, skilled and enthusiastic teaching force, and they need that now.”

Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree，new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children．

   One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders．Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points 1ower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs．

   A second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand，found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood．But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don’t rule out (排除) that already poorly motivated (有动机的) youngsters may watch lots of TV．

   Their study measured the TV habits of 26- year-olds between ages 5 and 15．Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood，compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high schoo1s．    ‘

   In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest，while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest．

   While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores，it adds to accumulating(增加) findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms．

1.According to the California study, the low-scoring group might     .

A．have watched a lot of TV     B．not be interested in math

C．be unable to go to college     D．have had computers in their bedrooms

2.What is the researchers’ understanding of the New Zealand study results?

A．Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV

B．Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest．

C．TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds．

D．The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain．

3.What Can we 1earn from the last two paragraphs?

A． More time should be spent on computers．

B．Children should be forbidden from watching TV.

C．TV sets shouldn’t be allowed in children’s bedrooms．

D．Further studies on high-achieving students should be done．
