37、re worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by pa
38、rents or their own school. If there was a teacher, they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games. Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occu
39、pied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady“ or just “the helper”. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requ
40、ests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can. Many short stay child patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the chil
41、dren interviewed. 85 The author points out at the beginning that _. （ A） every child in hospital receives some teaching （ B） not enough is known about hospital teaching （ C） hospital teaching is of good quality （ D） the special childrens hospitals are worst off 86 It can be inferred from the latest

44、d with the present state of hospital teaching （ D） satisfied with the results of the latest survey 88 They do not throw lavish parties. Their editors are not immortalised in films. But the magazines put out by Britains supermarkets have a growing presence where it counts: in handbags and on coffee t
45、ables. In 2005 the Audit Bureau of Circulations top ten magazines contained two supermarket publications, with a combined distribution of 3. 8m. Now there are five, reaching 7. 7m people. Publications such as Tesco Magazine and Your M they also increase loyalty to the brand. It may be tempting to be
46、lieve that most people throw these freebies away. But the large National Readership Survey finds that Tesco Magazine reaches 6.4m Britons, suggesting each copy is read by three people. And with such huge circulations, the magazines have lots of affluent readers. Asdas publication is read by 7. 3% of
47、 all people belonging to social class Ahandily beating upscale titles such as Country Living and Vogue. By suggesting there is still value in dead trees, supermarket publications encourage their paid-for equivalents. But they also provide growing competition for advertising and readers. Their conten
48、t has gradually converged with that of womens magazines. Both are heavy on consumer advice, of the “wear this top with that skirt“ type. Thanks to data from loyalty-cards, some supermarket rags know much more about their customers than do rival magazines. As they go online, they will be able to targ

They already account for almost a quarter of all spending on music, more than double the share of Apples iTunes. Their magazines extend their dominance. Media retailers are on their way to beco
