Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (10分) Don’t view people like me as dinosaurs. Yes, we are living in the Information Age, but I have no shame in saying I can’t give up newspapers. Every morning, I read The Seattle Times, The New York Times and USA Today. I used newspapers to raise my kids. No, I am not joking. During my eldest son's teenage years, he wouldn’t listen to me no matter what I said or how I said it. So I used newspapers. “If you don't believe me, just read the paper,” I would say. I saved for my kids any good story with life lessons. I made my points through words in black and white. The printed words worked like magic. Immediately, there were no more debates or fights. Reading newspapers opened my kids’ minds in different areas. There were, of course, areas I had no knowledge of or things that would never cross my mind to teach. I was amazed that my kids, at a young age, understood very complex problems. Every day, they could find reliable stories covering many different topics in newspapers. Reading newspapers _______________________________. My 85-year-old aunt never graduated from elementary school. However, she always enjoys reading newspapers and learns a lot every day. “How did you know that?” I would ask her when she would throw one latest scientific discovery at me. “I read about it in the newspaper,” she would always reply. We are in the Information Age, but I believe newspapers still play an important role in “educating” people of all ages. 53．When does the author read The Seattle Times every day? 54．What would the author do when her eldest son didn’t listen to her? 55．How could the author’s children understand very complex problems at a young age? 56．Fill in the blank in paragraph 4?

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (10分) Don’t view people like me as dinosaurs. Yes, we are living in the Information Age, but I have no shame in saying I can’t give up newspapers. Every morning, I read The Seattle Times, The New York Times and USA Today. I used newspapers to raise my kids. No, I am not joking. During my eldest son's teenage years, he wouldn’t listen to me no matter what I said or how I said it. So I used newspapers. “If you don't believe me, just read the paper,” I would say. I saved for my kids any good story with life lessons. I made my points through words in black and white. The printed words worked like magic. Immediately, there were no more debates or fights. Reading newspapers opened my kids’ minds in different areas. There were, of course, areas I had no knowledge of or things that would never cross my mind to teach. I was amazed that my kids, at a young age, understood very complex problems. Every day, they could find reliable stories covering many different topics in newspapers. Reading newspapers _______________________________. My 85-year-old aunt never graduated from elementary school. However, she always enjoys reading newspapers and learns a lot every day. “How did you know that?” I would ask her when she would throw one latest scientific discovery at me. “I read about it in the newspaper,” she would always reply. We are in the Information Age, but I believe newspapers still play an important role in “educating” people of all ages. 53．When does the author read The Seattle Times every day? 54．What would the author do when her eldest son didn’t listen to her? 55．How could the author’s children understand very complex problems at a young age? 56．Fill in the blank in paragraph 4?
