It is called the high definition television or the HD-TV. The main difference between an HD-TV and a normal television is the picture. It is more clear and detailed. This is because the HD-TV has many more points and lines that make a television image .Every color television picture contains thousands of red, green and blue points. They all come together as an image in the eye of the person watching .The points are organized in lines that go across the television screen. There are more than five hundred lines in a normal television .The HD-TV has two times as many .To get this clear picture, you must have a big screen .Experts say people using a small screen will see little difference. The HD-TV also has clear sound. It is like the sound on a CD. All these improvements make an HD-TV very costly. One kind in Japan now sells for more than twenty thousand dollars .A major problem with the HD-TV is its broadcast signal（传播信号）.The signal is bigger than normal because it carries more electronic information.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

一、中考英语阅读理解汇编1．阅读理解Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy can not bring happiness to a personfor long.① But is that really true? Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier. ② Instead, it's giving money to others that makes people happy, ③ It could be buying a homeless person food to eat. ④ It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How didyou feel? Whether it is a small or large amount of money. People feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too.This idea of connecting your happiness to the happiness of others is described as a ubuntu inan African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa who asked some kids to race to a nearby tree. My first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat. Surprising, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they had done this. My children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one.（1）The writer says that buying things____________.A. can make people worriedB. can make people nervousC. may lead to sadness for longD. may lead to happiness for a short time（2）Where can we best put "But it is not having money that brings happiness." in paragraph 2?A. ①B. ②C. ③D. ④（3）Why does the writer quote（引用） a story in paragraph 3?A.
