The average (平均的) American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new silly sayings have appeared:
* TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are preschoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.
* TV makes kids violent (暴力的). The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive. But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.
* Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食), a widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.
* TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch,the more likely they are to have irregular (不规律的) sleep and nap (小睡). Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.
( ) 1. Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs
A. They are likely to make children more aggressive.
B. They will make sure of children’s success in the future.
C. They will improve children’s ability to get along with others.
D. They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.
( ) 2. What does the underlined word “aggressive” in paragraph3 mean
A.冒险的 B.勇敢的 C.好斗的 D.温和的
( ) 3. Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat
A. Children like to snack while watching TV.
B. Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.
C. Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV.
D. Watching TV doesn’t burn up as much fat as doing sports.
( ) 4. What influence does watching TV have on a child’s sleep
A. It will make children sleep easier than usual.
B. It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.
C. Children probably sleep deeper after watching TV.
D. Children’s sleep time will be greatly reduced for sure.
( ) 5. What is the purpose of this text
A. To correct parents’ wrong ideas of television’s effect on children.
B. To warn seriously parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.
C. To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.
D. To increase the knowledge which people have of watching TV.
