one hot night last July
when our new baby wouldn’t or couldn’t sleep, I ___1___ everything I could
think of: a warm bottle, songs, gentle rocking. Nothing would make him go to
sleep. Guessing that I had a long _____2____ ahead of me, I brought a portable
TV into his room, thinking that watching the late movie was the best way to
kill off the ____3____ until early morning. To my ____4___, as soon as the TV
lit up, the baby ____5___ right now and his little eyes were fixed brightly on
the screen. Not to waste a chance for ____6____, I then walked out of the room
quietly,____7___ him to watch Mickey Mouse.
My wife and I heard
___8___ of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room,
I ___9___ him still watching TV himself.
I found something for us
to think over in my baby’s behavior(行为). My wife and I had given him some
books to examine, ___10__ he took no notice of them. When we ___11___ to him,
he did not feel ____12____. And so it is in the schools. We find that our
students don’t read and they look down upon reading and scold(责备)those of us who teach it.
All they want to do is watching TV. After this experience with the ____13___,
however, I have reached a conclusion(结论), “let them watch it! If television
is much more ___14___ to children than books, ____15____ should we fight it? Let
them watch all they want!”
