四、阅读理解 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。(40分)

A

My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watch it at night. She doesn’t remember over watching it in the morning or afternoon. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels(频道). My bothers, my sisters and I would sometimes fight(打架) about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows. Now we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can’t believe it! There are channels with old films, cooking, fishing and so on. It’s surprising! There is a channel for everything. I wonder how much my bothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set. These days I find families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it stops people from arguing(吵架) about which channel to choose from .

(     ) 56. In those days, how many television sets did people have?

A. more than one      B. one    C. 3 or 4       D. more than 4

(     ) 57. What kind of TV channels do we have now?
