　　“Most people in Britain or America spend four hours every day staring at a piece of furniture. ”said a spokesman. “Television eats up half the time you are not working or sleeping —ten yeas of an average life. All those things you want to do —when are you to do them? TV takes away your real life.”

　　A study of 20,000 British children published in 1999 compared TV viewing habits with social attitudes. Children who watched over four hours' TV per day were more likely to agree with statements like “I am not worth much as a person. ”and “There is nothing I can do about the world problems. ”

　　White Dot organizes an annual (每年的) “TV turn off week ”, which will start from April 23 this year. The group said that last year over 5 million people in Britain and the United States supported the event, mainly concerned parents and students.

Next day , the TV critics were unanimous (一致同意的) . Mr. Burke had made his points with force, wisdom and style. Give this man his own TV series!

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

__1__ From 18-25, according to I.Q. scores;  but you are wiser and more experienced with increasing age.

You are smartest in your 20`s; around 30, your memory begins to go down, particularly your ability to perform mathematical computations, __2__ Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example , is three times as great as then you graduated form college. At 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at the age of21.

__3__ You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense form 40 to 49.

Before the age of 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come; over 3 0, we believe that they are behind us. A National Health survey agrees: after the age of 30, we “ become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we maintain our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, happiness, we feel, will follow”.

__4__ Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak(顶峰) varies with different professions.

Mosart wrote a symphony(交响曲) and four sonatas by the age of 8, and Mendelssohn composed（作曲） his best known work A Midsummer Night` s Dream, at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.

Though the peak in most fields comes early, most Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late 20`s and 30`---creative people continue to produce work with high quality throughout their lives.__5__.
