What would life be like without television? Would you spend more time 26  , reading, or studying? Well, now it’s your chance to turn off your TV and  27  ! TV-Turnoff Week is here.
The goal of TV-Turnoff Week is to let people leave their TV sets  28   and participate in activities  29   drawing to biking. The event was founded by TV-Turnoff Network, a non-profit organization which started the event in 1995. In the 30  , only a few thousand people took part.

This week is about saving lives.”
Over the years, studies have shown that watching a lot of TV  39   poor eating habits, too little exercise, and violence. Frank Vespe of the TV-Turnoff Network said that turning off the TV “is or  40  , part of a healthy lifestyle”.
“One of the great lessons of  41   TV-Turnoff Week is the realization that  42   I turn on the TV, I’m deciding not to do something else,” Vespe said.
TV-Turnoff Week seems to be making a  43  . Recent US Census(人口普查)data  44   that about 72 percent of kids under 12 have a limit on their TV time. That’s  45   about 63 percent ten years ago.

When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn’t that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we haven’t got a television. People think that we are very strange. “But what do you do in the evening?”,they are always asking. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I’m always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together.
Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us, we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends, however, are lost---no television!---So they don’t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full ---they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games.
