阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中选出最佳选项。
I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law, especially after the evening news.
Let us take a serious reasonable look at what the results might be if such a suggestion were accepted: family members might use the time for a real family hour. They might sit together around after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that most of our problems—everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illnesses—are caused at least in part by failure to communicate. We do not tell each other what is disturbing us. The result is emotional(情感的) difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better.
On the evening when such talk is unnecessary, families could rediscover more active pastimes (娱乐). Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a ride together to watch the sunset or they might take a walk together. With free time and no TV, children and adults might settle down to read. There is more to expect in a good book than in a TV program. Educators report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, even at college level. Writing is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different form of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the quiet hour ends, the TV networks might even be forced to come up with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical (激进的). What will parents do without the electronic baby-sitter? How will we spend the time? But it's not radical at all. It has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can remember childhoods without television, spent partly with radio, but also with reading, learning, talking, playing games and inventing new activities. It wasn't that difficult. The truth is we had a ball.
