Relationships in general have gone downhill because of two factors: technology and our demanding drive for excitement.

Body language, especially eye contact, is very important to a relationship. With one glance we can tell the mood of a close friend, if they are happy or sad. Thus, visual contact has a major impact on the amount of understanding we have with another person and the amount of connection that can be achieved. However, when the telephone, email and message come into play, all of that human interaction is lost. We have increasingly less human contact and start lacking social skills because of a lack of communication.

Technology greatly influences our standpoint on how fast we think everything needs to be done. If you put a dollar in the soda machine, you expect the bottle to move forward and fall down to the bottom. You can' t count how many times you' ve smacked the machine if it went too slow for your expectations. You wanted instant results, immediate fulfillment.

Another shot against healthy relationships is everyone ' s demanding need for excitement. Society in general has increased its expectations for excitement. Little kids spending time playing outside together now replace that with hours of playing video games alone at home. On the weekends we seize every minute with " exciting" activities, rushing from one to the next. The effect on relationships from all these activities is that they take on more concern and that we have no patience for each other. Gradually we distance ourselves from our loved ones.

       WASHINGTON―There are more than 222 million TVs in American homes. And it would make Frank Vespe very happy this week if every one was turned off.

       Vespe is head of the TV―Turnoff  Network, the Washington organization behind TV Turnoff Week. For TV Turnoff week, American kids are encouraged to go one week without watching TV. This year it runs from April 23 to 29.

       “Our real meassage here is to see what lift is like without TV and then make watching TV a conscious decision,”said Vespe.

       Vespe said that most of the kids who go without television for a week go back to watching, but not as much.“They watch more selectively. They do more things as a family. It helps them put TV in its place.

       One kid who is turning off her television is Sarah Foote, 9, of Virginia.”

       Sarah admits it won’t be too hard to give up TV. She’s allowed to watch only educational television, and her favourite show from last year isn’t on any more.

       Of course, there are plenty of good things about TV: programmes can be entertaining, even educational.

       Even so, some experts aren’t sure TV Turnoff Week is the answer.

       “Too much TV is not good. A little bit of TV for young kids is good because it adds to their vocabulary. The bottom line is moderation(节制),”says Susan Neuman, a university educator who studies kids and reading.

       Neuman says the real problem is that parents do not keep track of what their kids are watching.

       They do not set limits on TV viewing. Also, in some families, TV might be the only thing there is to do.

       What message does Sarah have for other kids?

       “It’s a very good idea. I survived a whole week without TV. It also teaches you to enjoy time doing different things and not being sucked into something on TV, because you do not want TV taking up all of your time,”Sarah said.

 

68.The purpose of the TV―Turnoff Network is to         .

       A.make children watch TV less

       B.make children play outside more

       C.make children do more homework

       D.make parents watch more TV programmes

69.As Vespe said in this passage, turning off TV a week can help children         .

       A.forget to watch TV programmes           B.improve their habits of watching TV

       C.place TV sets out of their bedrooms      D.have part-time jobs after school

70.In some experts’ opinion         .

       A.parents should turn off TV for their children.

       B.parents should direct their children how to use TV

       C.children should enjoy exciting programmes on TV

       D.children should learn their lessons over TV

71.What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?

       A.To advise us to turn off TV.

       B.To warn parents of the danger of TV.

       C.To report to us a piece of news about TV.

       D.To praise Vespe and his organization.
