◆ You'll never be good at Maths.

It's generally accepted that boys are good at Maths and girls aren't. The fact is that it isn't true.

When girls reach their teens, most of them lose their interest in Maths. They think they are

Lots of websites tell visitors that losing interest in eating is a beautiful thing. They are lying. Losing interest in eating is a disease, not a healthy thing. It can kill you.

They say that before long, we will be able to receive more than 500 television networks on cable(电缆). Some people think that it's silly to have that many channels. Their usual view goes something like this.

"I already get more channels on my TV than I have time to watch. No one needs to see that much TV. There's not enough time in the day to watch all that!" They also say that most of what's on television now isn't worth watching in the first place.

I think they're missing the point. If the local library wanted to add another 5,000 books, would we say, "That's silly. We'll never have time to read all those books?" The point is that we would have more choices.

I don't believe that most people should watch more television. And if we had 500 0r even l,000 channels to choose from, we wouldn't have to spend more time watching TV. We would, however, have better programmes to choose from. That means that the quality of our viewing time would improve.

So I should say that the more channels we can choose from, the better. Give me more choices! If they're not worth my time, I'll just hit the "off" button.
