23、rtant to distinguish televisions influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesnt really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping childrens minds. One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a childs ability to think and to under
24、stand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit(明确的) and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand fa
25、r more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room. Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But ac
26、cording to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesnt take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents educational background
27、 have a stronger influence on a childs reading. “A childs reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says. Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies ha
28、ve proved it. In fact, research suggests that its the other way around. “If youre smart young, youll watch less TV when youre older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers. For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children.
29、However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.28.An educational program is best watched by a child _.A .on his own B. with other kids C. with his parent

However, is our determination to achieve excellence in reading skills in our children killing their love and enjoyment
33、 of a good book?In my work with parents, I am frequently asked the best ways to encourage reluctant readers to be engaged with books. Parents report that their children return home from school with no inclination to pick up a book and read.Any eager reader will gladly talk about the joy with a good
34、book to read away the hours on a cold, rainy afternoon. Reading a good book is one of lifes greatest pleasures. We need to share these experiences with our children in order to assist them in developing into strong readers. But the use of boring, mass-produced home reading texts in childrens early y
35、ears at school can be seen as the beginning of this negative cycle.As children progress through their schooling life, there are many other instances of learning reading skills that dont help reading development. Frequently, teachers feel the pressure to give their students “ just enough” in terms of
36、 reading strategies to be able to achieve the test, which leaves little time to focus on reading for pleasure.Kelly Gallagher, a high school teacher, outlines the term “Readicide” in his book. He says its: the systematic killing of the love of reading, often worsened by foolish, boring practices fou
37、nd in schools.Recent research shows that many teachers tend to follow the traditional literacy practices that they have experienced in their own education, which can often have negative intentions for their students.While teaching children key concepts for analyzing and evaluating texts is important
38、, the manner in which it is done and time that is spent on this can lead to unexpected results.
