For example,Patricia Greenfield,a professor of psychology at the University of California, notes that when she asked a boy why he liked video games better than television，he answered，“On TV,if you want to make someone die,you can’t.” Defenders of the games counter that the games do have positive aspects.

五、標出與段落內(nèi)容無關的句子

(10 points)Read the following paragraph and cross out the TWO irrelevant sentences.

41.An aerosol (氣霧劑) product, then，is just a can that has an aerosol mixture inside. With most aerosol cans, the product inside—that is，the cream，or the paint, or whatever—is mixed with a gas. Most of the time the gas that is used is a fluorohydrocarbon (碳氫氟化合物). Almost any gas could be used，,and the aerosol would still work. But fluorohydrocarbons are used because they are inert—or inactive. We feel being inactive is safer. That means they don’t have any effect on the product inside the can. To take an example, if we mix whipping cream or cheese together with a simple gas—such as oxygen--then the oxygen will immediately start to act on the product, and little by little the oxygen will ruin the product. Cheese mixed with oxygen becomes bad within a few days. That would be dangerous if it is eaten. But, by mixing the product with a fluorohydrocarbon，the product will not change and can be stored for a long time.
