Knowledge can be gotten from many sources.These include books, teachers and practical experience, and each has its own advantages.The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in daily life.We can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books.We can also develop our analytical(分析的)skills and learn how to view and interpret(解释)the world around us in different ways.Furthermore, we can learn from the past by reading books.In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements.
Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge.It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not.In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn.Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act.Innovations(革新)do not come about through reading but through experimentation.Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience, making a meaningful experience more meaningful.However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical(理论上的)and, in the end, is useless.That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired from books.

Television has probably been the most
powerful medium in shaping the new community. The electronic community gives us
our mutual friends, our significant events and our daily chats. The “produced”
relationships of television families become our models for intimacy. We know
media stars better than we know our neighbors. Most of us can discuss their lives
better than we can discuss those of our relatives. We think a man who plays a
doctor on TV actually know something about medicine

TV isolates people in their spare time.
People spend more time watching music videos but less time making music with
each other. People in small town now watch international cable networks instead
of driving to their neighbor’s house for cards. Women watch soaps instead of
attending church circles or book clubs. When company comes, the kids are sent
to the TV room with videos.
3._________
Parent are not the main influence in the
lives of their children. Some of the first voices children hear are from the
television, the first street they know is Sesame Street. A child playing
Nintendo is learning different lessons than a child playing along a creek or
playing dominoes with a grandfather.
4._________
The time devoted to violence on TV in no
way reflects its importance in real life. In real life, most of us exercise,
work, visit our friends, read, cook and eat and shop. Few of us spend any
significant amount of our time solving murders or fleeing psychotic killers. On
television there are many more detective and murderers than exist in the real
world. A rule of thumb about violence is “If it bleeds, it leads.” Violence
captures viewers’ attention. Our programs have become increasing violent.
5._________
Some might say that there is nothing new
under the sun. Of course, in a narrow sense, they are correct. There have
always been murderers, and stories about violence have been the theme of
literature and song. However, things are different now. Children are exposed to
hundreds of examples of violence every day. The frequency and intensity of
these images is unprecedented in the history of humanity. We have clear records
that this exposure makes it more likely that children will be violent and
increase their fear levels about potential violence.
